Many companies that made key announcements last week are expected to be in focus among investors this morning, and one company that may come into focus is Augusta Gold Corp.

Additionally, the maturation date of the loan had also been extended to June 30, 2024, and the company had to pay $27,790.70 in the form of an extension fee to the lender for the same.
However, that was not the only major announcement from Augusta Gold Corp. last Thursday. The company also announced that it had appointed a new interim chief financial officer in the form of Ty Minnick, and the appointment was going to go into effect on April 1, 2024.
