AGL is currently working towards an IPO on a reputable exchange.

Vincent Mascolo, CEO of IronRidge, said: "We are pleased to be partnering with AGL on the divestment of our non-core May Queen gold project in South East Queensland, Australia. The divestment provides IronRidge with significant project upside through exploration success, to be led by AGL, whilst allowing the company to intensify capital focus and managerial momentum on our core suite of gold and lithium assets in Africa.

"AGL has demonstrated considerable experience in gold exploration to date, in addition to holding a prospective gold project in Western Australia; providing IronRidge with additional upside from their existing portfolio and the expertise they bring to the ongoing advancement of the May Queen project.

"The Board is confident that AGL will deliver further success at May Queen through targeted exploration and we look forward to keeping the market updated as results become available."
