Company Announcement
Monday, March 22, 2021

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Canada -- Asante Gold Corp. (CSE:ASE, Frankfurt: 1A9, U.S. OTC:ASGOF) announces that assays have been received for the first hole of a three-hole geotechnical drill program at our Kubi Gold project in Ghana. 

DDHK21-001 was collared approximately 100 meters to the north of the Kubi Pit, near the middle of the 1Kubi Main Mineral Resource. On this section gold mineralization has been previously outlined to a depth of 450 meters. The gold is free milling and occurs within a near vertical 1-kilometer by 1-meter to 15-meter-thick shear-bounded "garnet" zone. 

Gold is associated with up to 30% garnet and 15% sulfide mineralization and as coarse gold in late quartz veins.

The drilling has confirmed typical Kubi Main Zone gold mineralization.

-- 30 meters grading 7.47 g/t gold (true width estimated at 7.5 meters), including:

-- 14.31 g/t over 10 meters.

-- 5.69 g/t over 9.0 meters.

-- 10.75 g/t over 16 meters.

Given the presence of visible gold and the numerous high assays received, samples have been resubmitted for screened metallics assays, which give more exact results when coarse gold is present. Further results will be announced as received. ...

Police also arrested 62 people in simultaneous dawn raids in eight Turkish cities over alleged connections to Mr Ozer's company, Thodex.

Mr. Ozer called the allegations against him "baseless" and said he is in Albania for work meetings.

The Turkish justice ministry has begun legal proceedings to seek the arrest and extradition of Mr. Ozer from the Albanian capital, Tirana, Andalou reported, adding that Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu had spoken to his Albanian counterpart on the phone.

Interpol issued a red notice for Mr. Ozer today after receiving a request from Ankara. ...
