From Its Near-Mine Exploration Drilling at the Bibiani Gold Mine
Company Announcement

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Canada -- Asante Gold Corp. (CSE: ASE / FRANKFURT: 1A9/ U.S. OTC: ASGOF) announces significant gold intercepts from its ongoing near-mine exploration drill program at its Bibiani Gold Mine in Ghana.
Asante initiated the exploration program in late September 2021. This program includes extensive induced polarization and ground magnetic surveys across the entire lease, RC, and diamond drilling, plus a high-level structural geology review targeting near-mine areas with high potential for new discoveries. The program objective is to grow the resources to be included in our comprehensive mining plan being prepared for the second quarter of 2022, with plant startup scheduled for the third quarter of 2022.
The company is pleased to report early results from the Walsh Satellite pit:
-- WADD21-002: 18 meters @ 3.85 g/t Au from 141 meters, including 16 meters @ 4.22 g/t Au.
-- WADD21-005: 12 meters @ 4.41 g/t Au from 174 meters.
-- WADD21-004: 8 meters @ 4.8 g/t Au from 137 meters.
-- WADD21-007: 4 meters @ 7.49 g/t Au from 170 meters.
-- WADD21-010: 3 meters @ 5.17 g/t Au from 187 meters
-- WADD21-003: 3 meters @ 5.96 g/t Au from 140 meters; 3 meters @ 4.60 g/t Au from 160 meters.
The results confirm the extension and grade continuity of the mineralization beneath the current US$1,500 design shell. These recent assay results improve the existing deposit model and will support an update of the Walsh mineral resource estimate. We anticipate adding ounces to the existing resource. Follow-up drilling is continuing, focusing on deepening and extending the Walsh Pit to its economic limit. ...

Currently, Oklahoma government money managers are largely relegated to investing in low-yield, dollar-denominated debt instruments.
Other than Ohio, no state is known to hold any precious metals, even as inflation and financial turmoil accelerate globally. Yet Oklahoma's own investment guidance prescribes safety of principal as a primary objective for investment of public funds. ...
