Asante Gold C$5 Million Placement Is Oversubscribed
and Another C$2 Million Is Accepted;

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. ...

In contrast, Bitcoin has plunged by almost 40% from a $63,000 peak and funds are recording outflows.

Yes, the weaker dollar and falling inflation-adjusted yields are big reasons for the gold revival. Elon Musk-spurred volatility, meanwhile, has snuffed out some of the speculative euphoria in Bitcoin, while undermining its ambition to attract the institutional crowd. ...
