Amani Gold Limited (ASX: ANL) ("Amani" or "the Company") is pleased to announce assay results for three diamond drill holes completed at the Company's 4.1Moz Kebigada deposit.
Drilling was intended to target high grade gold mineralization within the existing resource area and depth extensions of the ForKebigada Central Ore Body.
GRDD039 returned a high grade intersection of 59.99m @ 2.35g/t Au from a depth of 98.86 meters. The intercept confirms the strike extension of a shallow high grade zone first encountered in RC hole GRRC217 - 65m@7.73g/t Au from 74m (see ASX announcement "Amani reports intercept of 105m@7.733g/t Au from infill drilling at Kebigada Giro Gold Project" dated 10 April 2017).
GRDD038 Assays returned a high grade gold intersection of 60m@1.28g/t from surface including 6m @ 1.74g/t from 40m and 6.50m @ 2.76g/t Au from 40.5m. The results included higher grade intercepts than were recorded in the 2020 Resource model as well as mineralized zones that did not form part of the Giro Resource Area.
Assays results were returned for GRDD039 to a depth of 306.83m with the final 92.73m to be returned with the next set of drilling.

On the Drill Results, Amani Chief Executive Officer Conrad Karageorge commented:
For personal use only
"We are very excited about the shallow high grade zone confirmed by GRDD039. The confirmation of this mineralisation has the potential to improve the overall feasibility of the Giro Project.
The Company is also encouraged by the high grade sections within GRDD038 which both improved on the grade of the 2020 resource model and intersected substantial mineralization not contained within the existing resource."

About Giro Gold Project
The Giro Gold Project comprises two exploration permits covering a surface area of 497km² and lies within the Kilo-Moto Belt of the DRC, a significant under- explored greenstone belt which hosts Randgold Resources' 17 million-ounce Kibali group of deposits within 35km of Giro. The nearby Kibali Gold Project produces
onlymore than 600,000oz gold per annum.
The Giro Gold Project area is underlain by highly prospective volcano-sedimentary lithologies in a similar structural and lithological setting as the Kibali gold deposits. Both primary and alluvial gold was mined from two main areas, the Giro and Tora areas, during Belgian rule and today. Giro Gold Project global resource for Kebigada and Douze Match deposits exceeds 4.4Moz contained gold; with a total Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 132Mt @ 1.04g/t Au, for 4.4Moz gold (0.5g/t Au cut-off grade). The Kebigada resource followed diamond core drilling results which successfully targeted deeper high-grade sulphide
useassociated gold mineralisation within the central core of the Kebigada deposit. Drillholes GRDD034 and GRDD035 are 240m apart and both outlined high-grade gold mineralisation deeper than previously intersected at the Kebigada deposit. These gold assay results and the current Kebigada MRE indicate the potential for the Kebigada deposit to substantially grow via targeted deeper drilling along the entire strike of the orebody.
