CENTRAL AFRICAN GOLD ADVANCES CARBON CREDIT BUSINESS PLAN
Vancouver, British Columbia - (December 13, 2021) – Central African Gold Inc. (TSXV:
CAGR; FSE: BC2; OTCQB: NDENF) (“CAGR” or “Central African Gold”) is pleased to
announce that with the guidance of independent consultants EcoMetrix and Inerjys, CAGR has
identified a strong business case for the implementation of an industrial Solar power project in
the DRC as part of a Carbon Credit strategy. The strategic business plan included financial
modeling to assess the economic viability of generating a saleable carbon credit and establishing
an environmentally friendly sustainable revenue stream. CAGR will now work to secure a Power
Purchase Agreement (PPA) with a local industrial electricity consumer as a pilot project. The
PPA will allow CAGR to advance discussions with various international funding partners.
Stephen Barley, Executive Chairman stated: “CAGR will retain its primary focus of acquiring
and developing energy metals mining projects in the DRC. CAGR has been investigating Carbon
Credit generation as a means of creating a near term revenue stream for sustainable
environmental and social activities that CAGR would have undertaken anyway as part and parcel
of its ESG obligations. Our efforts in conducting a business case study highlighted a clear
opportunity to use clean Solar energy to achieve environmental, carbon credit generation and
ESG goals within a viable business model. CAGR’s modeling identified that the most attractive
project IRR with the shortest payback period is achieved when Solar power is utilized to fully or
partially offset power provided by diesel gensets in industrial applications, such as mineral
processing facilities. Diesel gensets are widely used in the DRC either due to the lack of
availability of electrical power from a constantly overtaxed DRC grid or the total absence of grid
power in remote locations. CAGR will continue to work on an effective structure to implement
the business strategy and realize the apparent revenue potential.”
About Carbon Credits
A carbon credit is a tradable permit or certificate that provides the holder of the credit with the
right to emit one ton of carbon dioxide or an equivalent of another greenhouse gas and is
essentially an offset for industries producing green-house gas. The obligation to meet reduced
emission targets is now being imposed in most countries with significant penalties for non-
compliance. If an industry cannot meet its required levels, there is an efficient global
marketplace developing where these companies can purchase carbon credits to offset their
emissions. There are three basic types of carbon credit: those from reduced emissions through
efficiency such as solar photovoltaic plants, wind and other non-fossil fuel energy sources;
removed emissions through carbon capture and planting forests or other vegetation providing a
“carbon sink”; and avoiding emissions by increasing mechanical efficiency.
