ASANTE GOLD ANNOUNCES RESULTS OF ANNUAL AND
SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
Vancouver, British Columbia – December 23, 2022 – Asante Gold Corporation (“Asante” or the
“Company” CSE:ASE | GSE:ASG | FRANKFURT:1A9 | U.S.OTC:ASGOF) announces the results of
its annual meeting of shareholders (the "Meeting") held on December 21, 2022. At the Meeting, all matters
presented for approval by management were duly authorized and approved, as follows:
• Fixing the number of Directors at nine (9);
• Election of the directors as proposed in the Company's management information circular dated
November 25, 2022 (the "Circular");
• Appointment of Auditors; and
• Approving the Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan.
Detailed voting results are shown below. As the voting results show, there was a group of shareholders
represented at the Meeting who voted against the election of some of the Directors as well as the approval
of the Company's Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan. It appears that two Directors of the
Company, despite having voted for board business which included endorsement of management
recommendations for all business proposed, participated in a solicitation of shareholders of the Company
against the business they had endorsed in the Circular.
The Company is commencing an investigation into these solicitation efforts. T he Company cautions that
these actions appear to be part of an effort to attempt to take control of the Company without paying fair
value to other shareholders. Shareholders are cautioned to take no steps in relation to matters which may
be raised by diss idents whom appear to be seeking to promote their own interests over those of all
shareholders of the Company.
