Vancouver, British Columbia – December 10, 2019 – Asante Gold Corporation (CSE:ASE/
FRANKFURT:1A9) (“Asante” or the "Company") announces that a new high induced
polarization (IP) target has been discovered 350 to 500 metres to the east of our Kubi Main gold
deposit, Obuasi-Dunkwa area, Ghana.
The IP and co-incident high resistivity anomaly is interpreted as sulfide mineralization along the
sheared contact of high ly magnetic Tarkwaiian meta conglomerates, and strikes azimuth 020
degrees, a structural setting similar to that noted at the Kubi Main gold deposit. At Kubi, the tenor
of the gold mineralization is directly related to the sulfide content in a distinct garnet and quartz
rich unit. IP surveys are typically used to map sub-surface sulfide mineral content, and in this
geographic area can be subdued as a result of deep saprolitic weathering.
The new Kubi East target area is readily accessible from our Kubi pit area, with grid power located
1.2 km away at Kubi Nkwanta village. Further work to determine the source of the IP anomaly
will commence in the New Year.
An image of the interpreted anomalous high IP and resistivity zones, limited previous soil sampling
results, the backfilled Kubi pit and the current NI43 -101 SEMS resource blocks is available at:
