ASANTE ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL SIGNIFICANT DRILL RESULTS AT ABODUABO PROSPECT, CHIRANO GOLD MINE, GHANA

Asante Gold Corp. has released results from its continuing exploration drilling program at the Aboduabo prospect, located on its Bibiani-Chirano mine corridor in the Sefwi greenstone belt in Ghana.

Latest drill results have intersected high grade shoot extensions in multiple zones down-plunge of the defined +1km strike length of Aboduabo mineralization. Previous announcements by the Company (see press releases of January 17, 2023, February 8, 2023 and April 6, 2023) have highlighted the significant intercepts and potential of this deposit, located along the Bibiani Shear Zone. To date, 88 holes totaling 21,000m have been completed testing lateral extensions and upgrading geologic confidence in previously tested zones. Field mapping has been initiated along the trend to identify new targets for future growth.

Highlights

CHRC3406 intersected a high gold grade shoot extension of significant interest, grading 8.73 g/t over 20.5m.

Step-out drilling has intersected consistently wide, significant gold mineralization within metasedimentary shear zones.

Selected intercepts include:

• CHRC3406D - 20.5 metres of 8.73 g/t Au from 222 to 242.5m
• CHRC3420D - 10.1 metres of 5.83 g/t Au from 214.7 to 224.8m
• CHRC3405D - 17.15 metres of 4.27 g/t Au from 274.5 to 291.65m
  • Includes 7.7 metres of 8.94 g/t Au from 274.5m to 282.2m
• CHRC3386D - 30 metres of 2.81 g/t Au from 120m to 150m
  • Includes 24 metres of 3.16 g/t Au from 126m to 150.0m
• CHRC3400D - 26.6 metres of 2.27 g/t Au from 166.35m to 192.95m
  • Includes 8.3 metres of 4.2 g/t Au from 169.7m to 178.0m
• CHRC3411D - 65.0 metres of 1.41 g/t Au from 46.0m to 111.0m
  • Includes 24.20 metres of 2.47 g/t Au from 46.0m to 70.2m
• CHRC3441D- 46.70 metres of 1.90 g/t Au from 380.3.0m to 427.0m
  • Includes 10.0 metres of 4.37 g/t Au from 402.1m to 413.0m

Dave Anthony, President and CEO stated, "Results from the exploration drill program at Aboduabo continue to support our assessment that the deposit remains open and has potential to develop into long life open pit mine and future underground mine. We look forward to expanding the Aboduabo footprint with our field mapping program."

Aboduabo Prospect

The Aboduabo prospect is located approximately 5km north of the Chirano Process Plant and 10km south of the Bibiani Process Plant. Aboduabo is 7 km south of our Russel South deposit. It lies within the Bibiani mineralized trend and is hosted in Birimian sedimentary rock sequences. The Chirano gold deposits are primarily hosted in Birimian volcanic and granitoid sequences along the sub parallel Chirano trend.

QA/QC

Asante employs a QA/QC program consistent with NI 43-101 and industry best practices. Surface drilling was conducted by GTS Drilling Services supervised by the Asante exploration teams. Selected drill core intervals were sawn in half with a diamond blade saw. Half of the sampled core was left in the core box and the remaining half was bagged and sealed. Asante utilizes accredited laboratories, and the samples were transported to ALS-Kumasi, Ghana. Gold was analyzed by 50-gram fire assay with AA-finish. Certified reference material (CRM) standards and coarse blank material are inserted every 20 samples. Drill intercepts cited do not necessarily represent true widths, unless otherwise noted.
