This document has been prepared by Asanko Gold Inc. (the “Company”) solely forinformational purposes. This presentation is the sole responsibility of thecompany. Information contained herein does not purport to be complete and issubject to certain qualifications and assumptions and should not be relied uponfor the purposes of making an investment in the securities or entering into anytransaction. The information and opinions contained in the presentation areprovided as at the date of this presentation and are subject to change withoutnotice and, in furnishing the presentation, the company does not undertake oragree to any obligation to provide recipients with access to any additionalinformation or to update or correct the presentation.
No securities commission or similar regulatory authority has passed on the meritsof any securities referred to in the presentation, nor has it passed on or reviewedthe presentation. Cautionary note to United States investors - the informationcontained in the presentation uses terms that comply with reporting standards inCanada and certain estimates are made in accordance with National Instrument43-101 (“NI 43-101”) - standards for disclosure for mineral projects. Thepresentation uses the terms “other resources”, “measured”, “indicated” and“inferred” resources. United States investors are advised that, while such termsare recognized and required by Canadian securities laws, the SEC does notrecognize them. Under United States standards, mineralization may not beclassified as “ore” or a “reserve” unless the determination has been made thatthe mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at thetime the reserve determination is made. United States investors are cautionednot to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever beconverted into reserves. Further, “inferred resources” have a great amount ofuncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally oreconomically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the “inferred resources”will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Therefore, United States investors arealso cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the inferred resources exist, orthat they can be mined legally or economically.
Under Canadian rules, estimates of “inferred resources” may not form the basis offeasibility or pre-feasibility studies except in limited cases. Disclosure of “containedounces” is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SecuritiesExchange Commission (SEC) normally only permits issuers to report mineralizationthat does not constitute “reserves” as in place tonnage and grade without referenceto unit measures. Accordingly, information concerning descriptions ofmineralization, mineral resources and mineral reserves contained in thepresentation, may not be comparable to information made public by United Statescompanies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC.
The presentation may contain “forward looking statements” within the meaning ofthe United States private securities litigation reform act of 1995 and “forwardlooking information” with the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislationconcerning, among other things, the size and the growth of the company’s mineralresources and the timing of further exploration and development of the company’sprojects. There can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations uponwhich these forward looking statements and information are based will occur.“Forward looking statements” and “forward looking information” are subject to avariety of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those that are discussed inthe company’s annual information form. Some of the factors which could affectfuture results and could cause results to differ materially from those expressed inthe forward looking statements and information contained herein include: marketprices, exploitation and exploration successes, continued availability of capital andfinancing and general economic, market, business or governmental conditions.Forward looking statements and information are based on the beliefs, estimates andopinions of management at the date the statements are made and are subject tochange without notice. The Company does not undertake to update forward lookingstatements or information if management believes, estimates forward or opinions orother circumstances should change. The Company also cautions potential investorsthat mineral resources that are not material reserves do not have demonstratedeconomic viability.
