Ashanti Gold Corp. announced additional results from the recently completed 105 hole Reverse Circulation and Diamond Drill, 12,283 metre drill program that tested mineralization on the Kossanto East Project in western Mali. Results presented here and previously demonstrate strong positive results from drill holes at Gourbassi East. Results reported here broaden the width and increase the down-dip extent of known mineralization of the Sana Zone, Gourbassi East. In addition, widely spaced reconnaissance drill holes have yielded significant results along the new Koli Zone where surface soil anomalies, historic RAB and trench results along with altered felsic tuff at the surface indicated the presence of more extensive mineralization. The Company awaits further results from the Gourbassi East Main Zone and from Gourbassi West and will release these results shortly. Sana Zone Gold mineralization associated with altered rhyolite and felsic tuff to the southwest of the Main Zone was previously tested by Ashanti's 2017 drilling program which verified and expanded on limited historic drilling. The 2017 program resulted in identification of a northwest-trending west-dipping gold mineralized zone approximately 300m long and 50m wide. The first 2018 results reported here demonstrate a broader zone of mineralization (approximately 70m wide) and greater down-dip continuity (at least 120m). Gold mineralization at the Sana Zone is associated with silicification, quartz-sericite-pyrite (QSP), carbonate and possible albite alteration occur along with multi-stage veinlets and disseminated gold mineralization, similar to that within the Main Zone.
