VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Asante Gold Corporation (CSE:ASE/ FRANKFURT:1A9/U.S.OTC:ASGOF) (“Asante” or the "Company") announces a private placement to accredited and exempt investors (the “Private Placement”) of up to 2,000,000 units at $0.10 per unit (each a “Unit”), for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $200,000. 

Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”), and one Common Share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional Common Share at an exercise price of $0.15 at any time during the 24 months following the closing date. The Company is relying on exemptions from the prospectus requirements and applicable securities laws to issue the shares.  All securities purchased under this offering will be subject to a four month and one day hold period. Directors and officers of the Company may participate in the private placement.  Any such participation would be considered to be a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”).  The transaction would be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of any units issued to or the consideration paid by such persons would not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

Proceeds from the placement will be used to complete a work program to evaluate the surface oxide gold potential of the 513 zone at Kubi and for general working capital purposes.
