UTILIZATION AND COMPLETION OF $500M FINANCING PACKAGE

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, August 25, 2025 – Asante Gold Corporation (CSE: ASE | GSE: ASG |

FRANKFURT:1A9 | OTCQX: ASGOF) (“Asante” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that, further to its

news release dated August 11, 2025 announcing the execution of definitive agreements relating to an

approximately $500 million (“M”) financing package (the “Financing Package”), the Company has completed and

received the net proceeds from a $125M second utilization under its $150M senior debt facility (the “Senior Debt

Facility”). As previously announced, a $5M first utilization under the Senior Debt Facility was completed on

August 14, 2025. The Company is also pleased to announce the full availability of the revolving credit facility in

the amount of $20M under the Senior Debt Facility. All amounts are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

As a result, the Company has now completed its $500M Financing Package. For more in formation on th e

Financing Package, including a summary of the terms of the Senior Debt Facilit y, please refer to the Company’s

news release dated August 11, 2025.

“Closing this financing is transformative for Asante,” said Dave Anthony, President and CEO. “With $500 million

in capital secured, we are well-positioned to execute on our growth plans for Bibiani and Chirano, targeting annual

gold production over 500,000 ounces by 2028 at significantly lower all-in sustaining costs. We remain focused on

disciplined execution and delivering results for shareholders as these funds are deployed immediately.”

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Financing Package for development and growth expenditures

at the Bibiani and Chirano mines, a cash payment to Kinross which was satisfied on August 12, 2025, the

retirement of short-term liabilities and for general working capital purposes.

Price Protection Program

To satisfy the conditions precedent to full availability of the Senior Debt Facility, the Company has completed a

price protection program encompassing (i) a short-term forward sale of gold, and (ii) the purchase of deferred

premium puts that provide downside price protection over the medium term.

In order to protect margins over the critical operational ramp-up period of the next eight months, the Company has

entered into swap transactions for approximately 154,000 ounces (oz) of gold between September 2025 to April

2026. Under these transactions, the Company will in effect receive an average price of $3,386 per oz for a portion

of its gold production through this period, ranging from approximately 13,000 oz to 23,000 oz per month.

In addition, the Company has purchased deferred premium puts for th e potential sale of gold of up to

approximately 395,000 oz between May 2026 and January 2028, inclusive, with strike prices ranging between

$3,000 and $3,100 per oz. This price protection will only be utilized in the event of a decline in gold prices

below these levels. In this manner, the Company remains fully unhedged to increases in the gold price, while

ensuring the right (but not the obligation) to sell gold.

The Company’s price protection program was executed with RMB pursuant to previously established credit lines.

Obligations thereto will benefit from the common security package as outlined in the Company’s news release

dated August 11, 2025.

Neither the CSE nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the CSE) accepts

responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
