PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla., March 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Ghana Gold Corporation; (PINKSHEETS: GGCO) is pleased to announce that they have entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire Founders Mining & Minerals PLC. (GXG: FMMP).

Founders Mining & Minerals PLC is a UK based company which commenced gold production in Ghana‘s Western Region in February 2011. In addition to increasing Ghana Gold’s fleet of heavy equipment, Founders brings further alluvial and hard Rock land options, including an agreement to develop 250 Acres, with a low land royalty, on the huge Jukwa Concession, the same on which Ghana Gold is already in production. It is expected that this merger and the additional equipment, Ghana Gold will increase its’ excavation potential and subsequently increase production significantly. The combination of the two firms will create greater economies of scale and cost savings for alluvial operations.

The Companies management has been engaged in merger discussions for several months and has resulted in this LOI. The combined Company will continue under the name of Ghana Gold Corporation which best reflects the business and the region in which the two companies conduct mining. Management hopes to finalize all details of the transaction within the next 30 days.

Mr. Robert Kirkcaldy, President and COO of Ghana Gold Corporation, commented, “We are very excited to bring Founders assets into Ghana Gold. We’ll have choices on where to deploy Founders heavy equipment. As soon as our Ahenkro is approved, we’ll strongly consider deploying the equipment there to jumpstart production. This is a significant step with regard to the Company’s aspirations to becoming a leading gold developer in Ghana and West Africa.”
