Ashanti Gold Corp. announced additional results from the recently completed 105 hole Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond Drill (DD), 12,283 metre drill program that tested mineralization on the Kossanto East Project in western Mali. Results presented here continue to demonstrate strong positive mineralization trends throughout Gourbassi East. The results reported here demonstrate the down-dip continuity and extend the strike length of mineralization of the Main Zone as well as increase the confidence in continuity of Main Zone mineralization. The Main Zone consists of several subzones collectively more than 100m wide at the surface in this section and wider where other zones have been intersected. In particular, gold mineralization intersected in drill hole GERC295 demonstrates the strong mineralization and down-dip continuity.
