[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 9, 2023) - AVANTI GOLD CORPORATION (CSE: AGC) (FSE: X37) (the \"Company\" or \"Avanti\") is pleased to announce an update following a site visit to Misisi Project. CEO Dr. Colin Porter and board member Mata Botama recently conducted a site visit to the Misisi Project to engage with local communities and assess the current status of logistics and infrastructure at the project. Several constructive meetings took place with senior community representatives, local and district chiefs, and leaders of the local artisanal miners' cooperative (Sycomines). The airstrip at Lulimba was found to be in excellent condition and roads to Misisi town and the field camp were all passable. The camp itself is in good condition with all accommodation and catering facilities fully functional as well as the electricity supply. Some minor remedial work will be required. Access roads to the Akyanga project area are good. Samples from a 2,200m drilling by the previous operator remain on site and have not been assayed. The integrity of the samples was assessed and overall condition is considered to be good. These samples will be dispatched for assay as a priority. Results will assist in further definition and updated classification of the Akyanga Hill resource. Phase 1 drill planning has been completed with a view to further upgrading of the Akyanga inferred resource by infill drilling and exploration drilling on the Akyanga East target which lies 800m to the east of the main resource. An initial 14,000m of drilling has been planned and contractors identified. CEO Dr. Colin Porter commented: \"The site visit to Misisi was extremely productive and we were pleased with the condition and amount of existing infrastructure at Misisi. All engagements with the community were extremely positive and the benefits of Avanti returning to the area to commence an organised exploration programme were discussed with and supported by the community and Sycomines. Avanti look forward to continuing to build positive relationships with all local stakeholders as we progress our exploration programme in the near future.\" About Avanti Gold Corporation Avanti Gold Corporation is a mineral exploration company working on a Tier-1 gold opportunity in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (\"DRC\"), located in the Fizi territory ...
