High-Grade Historical Drilling Gold Intersections at Akoko Project in Ghana

Hamak Strategy Limited (LSE: HAMA / OTCQB: HASTF), a Company combining traditional gold exploration in West Africa with a Digital Asset Treasury Management strategy, announces that it has acquired and processed a new and comprehensive database of historical drilling and geochemical soil sampling from the Akoko Gold Project in southwest Ghana.

Highlights

·      A new drilling and sampling database for Akoko acquired

·      Includes 77 Reverse Circulation holes and nine Diamond Drill holes, with significant intercepts of;

o  21.40g/t over 2m from 27m depth

o  15.44g/t over 12m from 42m depth

o  8.99g/t over 7m from 42m depth

·      High-grade intersections noted to typically occur less than 50m from surface, consistent with the model of a shallow, gold mineralized oxide horizon at Akoko

·      Follow up drilling is planned to validate these historic results

CEO and Executive Director Karl Smithson commented:

"We are thrilled to see such exceptional gold grades and wide intersections from the processing of historical drilling data which Hamak recently acquired for the Akoko Gold project in southwest Ghana. The results include 15.44g/t over 12.0m, 8.99g/t over 7.0m and 21.40g/t over 2.0m. Subject to industry standard validation and follow up exploration, we believe these results can add significantly to our overall understanding of the extent of gold mineralization at Akoko.

"Our drilling programme at Akoko is continuing and further results will be announced when available. Once drilling is complete and all results have been received, Hamak will commission an independent Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment for Akoko."

Recently Acquired Akoko Historical Drilling Database

Hamak has exclusive access to a comprehensive geological database provided by CAA Mining, with whom Hamak holds the option to acquire a 100% interest in the Akoko gold project. This database covers exploration work and assays results from 2007 to 2016. However, it recently came to Hamak's attention that further exploration work was undertaken at Akoko between 2016 and 2018, which included geochemical soil sampling (404 samples), reverse circulation drilling (77 holes for 6,270m) and diamond drilling (9 holes for 1,072m). Hamak has acquired this dataset for a nominal amount and this data has brought a significant amount of new data which can be integrated into our geological modelled.

The drilling data provides assay results for several new areas in the upper oxide levels, beyond the known gold mineralization that the first database provided. Significant intercepts from the new drilling data are shown in Table 1, and include;

o  21.40g/t Au over 2m from 27m depth

o  15.44g/t Au over 12m from 42m depth  

o  8.99g/t Au over 7m from 42m depth      

o  1.75g/t Au over 5m from 54m depth

o  1.59g/t Au over 11m from 39m depth

o  1.48g/t Au over 8m from 19m depth

o  1.26g/t Au over 8m from 26m depth

o  1.1g/t Au over 15m from surface

o  1.01g/t Au over 34m from 9m depth

Of particular interest is diamond drill hole ANDD17-004 with a reported intercept of 15.44g/t Au over 12m (from 42m depth). This hole also reportedly intersected sulphide mineralisation which may potentially be a primary and deeper source for the oxide gold mineralisation at Akoko. This interpretation requires further investigation with follow up drilling by Hamak's field team being planned.

Current RC Drilling Programme

Drilling to date has been focussed on the Akoko North area, combining resource confirmation and condemnation drilling, where a total of 29 holes for 1,806 metres have been drilled to date.

Further Drill Assay Results

Assay results have been received for a further seven holes, which includes five holes for resource condemnation which were outside of the known mineralized areas (designed to sterilise these areas for locating future mining infrastructure). The best intercept from the latest batch of results was 2.07g/t over 4m from 33m (Table 2). Further drill samples are currently in the laboratory for assay and will be reported in due course.

Qualified Person

The technical information in this announcement, that relates to exploration results, is based on information reviewed by Hamak Strategy's retained consultant Dr Colin Andrew, who is an independent Consulting Economic Geologist, and graduate of Imperial College London and the Royal School of Mines and is a Member of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, a Fellow of the Geological Society of London, a Member of the Society of Economic Geologists, and a registered Chartered Engineer with the Engineering Council. Colin Andrew has over forty years of diverse mining industry experience, relevant to the nature of exploration, the style of mineralization and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity that he is reviewing, to qualify as a an "Independent Qualified Person" as such term is defined in NI 43-101.

Dr. Colin J. Andrew, as Hamak's independent Qualified Person has checked and verified the new data disclosed including sampling, analytical, and test data underlying the information contained in this news release.  This data verification included a review of all Standard Operating Procedures that the operating Company conducted, a detailed review of all QA/QC results and of the original laboratory analysis sheets.  All analyses were carried out by Intertek Minerals Limited, Tarkwa, Ghana, a SANAS testing laboratory with full international accreditation.  After sample prep and QA sizing to -75um all analyses were conducted by Fire Assay (FA51 - 50g digest with no matrix issues with AAS finish) and included the random insertion of field blanks, prep blanks, laboratory standards and certificated reference materials.  No material flaws were detected during the data verification exercise

Hamak Strategy Limited (LSE: HAMA / OTCQB: HASTF) is a UK listed company focussed on gold exploration in Africa and with a strategy of pursuing an appropriate and compliant BTC / crypto treasury management policy.

Important Notice

The Company maintains some of its treasury reserves and surplus cash in Bitcoin, a form of cryptocurrency. The Company is not authorised or regulated by The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and Bitcoin investments are generally not subject to regulation by the FCA or otherwise in the United Kingdom. Neither the Company nor investors in the Company's shares are protected by the UK's Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

However, the FCA considers Bitcoin investments to be high-risk. The value of Bitcoin can go up as well as down, leading to fluctuations in the value of the Company's Bitcoin holdings, and the Company may not be able to realise its Bitcoin holdings for the same amount it paid to acquire them, or even for the value the Company currently attributes to its Bitcoin positions.

The Company's Board of Directors have identified the following risks in relation to the holding of Bitcoin, which are not exhaustive:

•           The value of Bitcoin can be highly volatile, with its value falling as quickly as it rises. Investors in Bitcoin must be prepared to lose all money invested.

•           The Bitcoin market is largely unregulated. There is a risk of losing money due to factors such as cyber-attacks, financial crime, and counterparty failure.

•           The Company may not be able to sell its Bitcoin at will. The ability to sell Bitcoin depends on various factors, including the supply and demand in the market at the relevant time. Operational failings such as technology outages, cyber-attacks, and comingling of funds could cause unwanted delays.

•           Cryptoassets carry a perception of fraud, money laundering, and financial crime.

An investment in the Company is not an investment in Bitcoin itself, but prospective investors in the Company are encouraged to conduct their own research before investing and should be aware that they will have indirect exposure to the high-risk nature of cryptoassets, including their volatility, and could therefore sustain large or total losses of their investment.
