The Misisi property has already been certified with 3 million ounces of gold in a NI 43-101 Technical Report, with an expansive history of drilling and multiple large-scale corporate transactions for business sales.
With the increase in geopolitical stability created by the most recent president, the DRC possesses vast gold resource opportunities.

Retail and institutional investors have the unique opportunity to invest into gold as a robust store of value.
Avanti has an experienced team with an exceptional track record and is well-positioned to emerge as a world-class mining company.
