Xtra‑Gold Resources Corp. has initiated a 2026 normal course issuer bid to repurchase up to 4,000,000 of its common shares, with the program scheduled to run from March 18, 2026 through March 17, 2027. The bid is structured to allow daily purchases of up to 4,465 shares, which represents 25% of the company’s average daily trading volume of 17,863 shares over the preceding six months.
All shares acquired under the bid will be cancelled, a move that is expected to shrink the public float by roughly 10%. As of early March, the float stood at 41,514,562 shares, so the 4,000,000 shares represent 9.64% of that figure, aligning closely with the company’s stated goal.
The buyback follows a 2025 normal course issuer bid in which Xtra‑Gold purchased 365,600 shares at an average price of $3.06. The 2026 program is part of the company’s ongoing strategy to return capital to shareholders while maintaining a zero‑debt balance sheet and supporting its exploration and development pipeline in Ghana’s Kibi Gold Belt.
Management has indicated that the current market price may not fully reflect the company’s underlying value and future prospects. The program is therefore intended to increase the proportionate ownership of remaining shareholders and to signal confidence in the company’s long‑term growth trajectory.
The announcement has not triggered any notable market reaction.
