Central African Gold Enters Agreement to Acquire an Interest in DRC Gold Project and Announces a Private Placement

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 29, 2021) - Central African Gold Inc. (TSXV: CAGR) (FSE: BC2) (OTCQB: NDENF) (the "Corporation" or "Central African Gold") is pleased to announce the Corporation has completed the first stage of a planned acquisition of multiple precious and base metals projects located in the resource rich Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Central African Gold has entered into an agreement to acquire an interest in the Musefu Gold Project which has historical gold exploration and production.

Central African Gold has entered into an Assignment Agreement with KBG Capital Sarl (KBG) pursuant to which KBG has agreed to assign to Central African Gold 100% of KBG's interest in an exclusive option agreement with La Societe Miniere de Bakwanga SA (MIBA) to enter a joint venture to develop and exploit the Musefu Gold Project located in Kasai Central Province in southern DRC. All shareholders of KBG are arms length to the Corporation. In consideration of the assignment, Central African Gold will reimburse supported prior expenses, assume certain non-material financial obligations and issue 8,000,000 million common shares of Central African Gold to the beneficial owners of KBG. Central African will pay a finder's fee consisting of 500,000 common shares to arms length parties. The closing of the transaction is subject to completion of a satisfactory due diligence review by Central African Gold, other industry standard conditions and regulatory approvals including the Toronto Stock Venture Exchange.

Mr. Kevin Torudag, Senior Advisor to the Corporation, stated: "The Musefu Gold Project is a significant land package controlled by a state owned mining company. It has been of interest and had earlier work completed by well known and knowledgeable groups in the DRC mining sector. We are not aware of any transactions of this magnitude currently being completed in the DRC. The mineralization in the region is polymetallic and the property is located close to the border with Angola and rail transportation. Musefu has excellent potential for an important new discovery."

Musefu Gold Project

The project comprises five concessions covering 924 sq kms located 315 kms south of the city of Kananga in Kasai Central Province, southern DRC. Kasai Central Province has been underexplored due to its location and the need for infrastructure expansion. Central African Gold believes the required investment in infrastructure is imminent and it is opportunistic to be an early entrant into the region with such a large tract of high potential underexplored land. Work programs completed in 2007 by a prior interest holder included acquisition and interpretation of geophysical data (Airborne Magnetics and Landsat imagery), geological mapping, geochemical soil sampling, bedrock sampling as rock chip and channel samples, trenching and trench sampling. A total of 11,107 soil samples, 66 rock chip samples and 286 channel samples were collected. The program identified several suitable structural targets and the initial results from the geochemical soil survey showed strong gold anomalism coinciding with these structures.

Twenty diamond drill holes ranging in depth from 10m to 110m were completed on one of the concessions. Historic significant intersections include:

* The Corporation obtained the above drilling results from an internal report prepared in 2007 by a third party who at the time had an interest in the project. This report included the above results from drilling completed in the mid 1930s. The Corporation is of the opinion the assay results are reliable and relevant, however the Corporation at this time has not completed due diligence on the assays. Additional recommended work for the Corporation would be to review any available drill and QC data in greater detail, duplicate informing sample data by perhaps twinning holes, and re-assay any available sample material. It is the Qualified Person's opinion that there is a potentially significant risk associated with the lack of assay certificates and QC analysis and the Corporation should dedicate resources to reviewing the issue. The Qualified Person considers the risk to be acceptable however cautions investors to rely on this non-compliant historical data only as an indicator of the future potential of the Musefu Gold Project until further reviews have been completed.

It is significant that the drill hole assays have high grade zones, broader lower grade zones and multiple zones with high grades surrounded by lower grades. Central African Gold believes with significant mineralization being encountered at or near surface, the Musefu Gold Project has the potential for expansion and for lower cost open pit mining. Although gold is the focus, there are also noted historical indicators of platinum.
