Giyani Confirms High Grade Manganaese at Kgwakgwe Hill
Giyani Confirms High Grade Manganaese at Kgwakgwe Hill
OAKVILLE, ONTARIO – June 13, 2017 – Giyani Gold Corporation (TSXV:WDG, KT9: GR)
(“Giyani” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that our initial surface sampling program
conducted at the historic Kgwakgwe Hill Manganese Mine located in the Kanye Basin,
Southeastern Botswana confirms high grade mineralized shale grading 58-61% MnO.
A complete table of all sample results is included in Appendix A.

Wajd Boubou states, “These results prove the effectiveness of our due diligence process that
focuses on identifying and researching properties with a strong probability of containing high
grade manganese deposits. Our strategy of selecting undervalued high potential assets is working
well as the results of this first phase of sampling confirm.”
Giyani’s geological team collected eight chip channel samples, considered to be representative,
from surface outcrops along the northern face of Kgwakgwe Hill.
Samples KAN/01/2017 and KAN/02/2017 were collected from a surface outcrop in an
unexploited mineralized zone to the north west of the Kgwakgwe open pit called the “Quarry
Zone”
Samples KAN/03/2017 and KAN/04/2017 were collected from a mineralized outcrop 120 m to
the south west of the Quarry Zone called the “Crushing Pad”
Samples KAN/07/2017 and KAN/08/2017 were collected from a mineralized section in the west
wall of an old quarry to the south east of Kgwakgwe Hill Open Pit
Samples KAN/05/2017 and KAN/06/2017 taken from the hanging wall in the pit

The phase I sample results exceeded our initial expectation as they graded well above those
found in other manganese projects currently being investigated by the Company. The low
percentage of deleterious elements is an indicator that the manganese found in this deposit could
be ideal for use in the battery industry.
Giyani is also pleased to announce the commencement of phase II regional sampling and
mapping of our extensive property in an initial attempt to estimate the potential size of this high-
grade manganese deposit. Our geological team started phase II on June 9th and is currently
sampling and mapping an area that stretches 74 Km diagonally from Kgwakgwe Hill to the north
east
The Kgwakgwe Hill high-grade manganese project, is an ideal asset that continues to expand the
Company’s high quality pipeline of manganese projects in Botswana and Zambia. In addition,
this project continues to advance Giyani’s strategy of acquiring high grade mineral assets that are
targeted for the growing battery industry.
All samples were packed in plastic sample bags, labelled and securely stored prior to shipping to
SGS laboratories in Randfontein South Africa. Samples were analyzed by X-ray fluorescence
(XRF) for manganese and 13 other major elements (see table below).
