XTRA-GOLD CFO PASSES AWAY; NEW CFO APPOINTED

Xtra-Gold Resources Corp.'s chief financial officer, Victor Nkansa, has passed away.

"When Victor and I opened the office in Ghana, there were only the two of us," said James Longshore, founder and chief executive officer. "Today, as a direct result of Victor's efforts, we have over 200 workers dedicated to Xtra-Gold's success. He was instrumental in expanding our team. His positivity and tireless work ethic will be missed by all."

The board has appointed the company's chief accountant at its mine camp for over 10 years, William Asiedu, as its chief financial officer, effective immediately. Mr. Asiedu, supported by the company's board and associated technical staff, will ensure that the hard work invested by Mr. Nkansa into Xtra-Gold and its resulting success will continue to endure.
