Psyence Group's RTO Target, GoldCoast Resource Corp., Granted Offshore Reconnaissance License for Gold Exploration on Ghana's Shallow Continental Shelf
TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / January 27, 2026 / Psyence Group Inc. (CSE:PSYG) ("Psyence" or the "Company") announces that its proposed reverse takeover target, GoldCoast Resource Corp. ("GoldCoast"), has been granted a series of ten contiguous offshore reconnaissance licenses by the Minerals Commission of Ghana (the "Reconnaissance Licenses") covering approximately 10,000 square kilometres along Ghana's western offshore continental shelf (the "License Area"). The Reconnaissance Licenses permit GoldCoast to conduct reconnaissance activities in accordance with Ghanaian mining regulations. The Reconnaissance Licenses have an initial term of 12 months and may be renewed in accordance with Ghanaian regulations.
The licenses represent the initial stage of Ghana's mineral tenure framework. Reconnaissance work is intended to identify areas that may warrant follow-up evaluation. Subject to exploration results and receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, portions of the License Area may be advanced to prospecting licenses and, subsequently, mining licenses. There can be no assurance that commercially viable mineralization will be identified or that any license will be advanced.
GoldCoast has advised Psyence that it intends to undertake reconnaissance activities within the License Area in accordance with applicable Ghanaian laws and regulations.
As previously disclosed, Psyence and GoldCoast continue to advance their proposed reverse takeover transaction, which remains subject to customary conditions, including completion of technical disclosure in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, financial statement requirements, shareholder approval, and Canadian Securities Exchange acceptance.
