DESCRIPTION

Blue Gold is a Cayman Islands-registered company built around two activities: developing gold mining assets in Ghana and building a digital gold trading platform. The core mining asset is the Bogoso Prestea gold mine, located in Ghana's Ashanti gold belt, which has a long operating history dating back to 1873 and contains a total Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource of approximately 5.1 million ounces of gold. The mine includes underground workings, open pit operations, and a Carbon-in-Leach processing plant, but all operations are currently suspended. Blue Gold's Digital Division issues the Standard Gold Coin (SGC), a gold-backed token designed to give holders fractional gold ownership, supported by transaction tools called the Electronic Transaction Application. The company describes this as a "Mine-to-Wallet" concept, linking physical gold production directly to a digital token. Blue Gold is currently pre-revenue — mining operations have been suspended since November 2023 and the Digital Division is still in development. The company's most pressing issue is a legal dispute with the Ghanaian government: in November 2024, Ghana purportedly granted the mine to a third party, which Blue Gold disputes. Blue Gold has initiated international arbitration against Ghana under the UK-Ghana Bilateral Investment Treaty, with a tribunal constituted at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague. Blue Gold's entire business plan hinges on resolving this dispute, securing external financing to restart the mine, and successfully launching a digital product.
