THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. NEWS AGENCIESVANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire - Sept. 17, 2012) - Asante Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:ASE) (FRANKFURT:1A9) (the "Company") has received final assays from a 1,200 hole soil auger program on the Fahiakoba concession in Ghana, West Africa.
Drilling has now commenced, targeting six anomalous gold trends in the north eastern part of the concession. The targets have strike lengths from 200 metres to 600 metres and are co-incident with structural "breaks" that have been interpreted from airborne and ground geophysical surveys. Gold mineralization in Ghana is often related to the intersection of regional NE trending geology with EW and NS deep seated structural trends.
Auger holes were drilled to depths of ~7 metres to test for blind gold mineralization in weathered bedrock (saprolite) below widespread alluvial cover. Anomalous gold values range from 25 to 650 ppb, with background levels of 10 ppb Au or less (please refer to a plan map of the anomalous gold trends at: http://www.asantegold.com/i/pdf/nr/NR17Sep12Maps.pdf).
On behalf of the Board,
Douglas R. MacQuarrie
President & CEO
