VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Nov. 19, 2015) -
THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. NEWS AGENCIES
Asante Gold Corp. (CSE:ASE)(FRANKFURT:1A9) (the "Company") announces that a preliminary four hole diamond drilling program, has been completed on the Betanase concession. Wide intersections of variably altered, quartz veined and pink-orange bleached (albitized?) quartzites with disseminated and fracture controlled pyrite (<1%), magnetite, sericite and minor amounts of tourmaline, chalcopyrite and garnet were noted. This mineralization occurs immediately to the west of a series of gabbroic sills which have intruded into the host Tarkwaiian quartzites.
A total of 562 metres were completed on three sections each separated by ~250 metres and drilled to test a 750 metre long NNE-trending gold in soil geochemical target. The soil target is flanked to the west by elevated IP (induced polarization) responses which were only partially tested by the program.
Betanase adjoins to the south of the AngloGold Ashanti/Randgold Resources Obuasi mining lease. Assay results will be provided when splitting, sampling and assaying are completed.
