ASANTE GOLD ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER

Asante Gold Corp. has appointed Glenn Baldwin as chief development officer of the company.

Mr. Baldwin is a commercially focused mining executive with more than 30 years of international experience across enterprise development, operations and strategic leadership. He has held senior executive roles across Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Australia and South America and brings significant expertise in corporate strategy, business development, transformation programs, capital allocation and operational turnaround initiatives.

Mr. Baldwin joins Asante from BGN International, where he served as head of mining, establishing a new mining business to support the company's expansion into critical minerals. He has previously served as chief executive officer of several mining companies, including Consolidated Minerals in Ghana and Yilmaden Holding, with operations across more than a dozen countries. Earlier in his career, Mr. Baldwin held senior roles at Gold Fields, where he oversaw 1.7 million ounces of annual gold production across a global portfolio, served as chief operating officer of Ivanhoe Nickel & Platinum, and well as technical and development positions at Anglo American and Ma'aden Gold & Base Metals. He has a strong record of leading operational turnarounds, raising capital and executing acquisitions.

As chief development officer, Mr. Baldwin will be based in Ghana, working alongside the chief executive officer and the site teams at the company's operations. In the near term, his focus will be operational: leading the turnaround and performance improvement of the Bibiani and Chirano mines, where consistent, predictable production is the company's immediate priority. In practice, his development and operational responsibilities will be one and the same for the foreseeable future. Alongside this, Mr. Baldwin will begin advancing the Kubi project toward production and over time will lead Asante's broader growth agenda, developing the projects and opportunities that build long-term value, with disciplined capital allocation across the business.

Malik Easah, executive chairman of Asante, stated: "We are delighted to welcome Glenn to Asante. His appointment strengthens our leadership at exactly the right time. Our immediate priority is delivering consistent, reliable production from Bibiani and Chirano, and Glenn brings deep operational experience and a strong track record of leading mining turnarounds, including here in Ghana. He is well placed to work alongside Campbell and the team to lift the performance of our operations and in time to develop the opportunities that will build lasting value for all of our shareholders."
