(TSX: XTG) (OTCQB: XTGRF) (\"Xtra-Gold\" or the \"Company\"), is pleased to announce further positive assay results for an additional 30 diamond core boreholes totalling 7,309 metres (\"m\") from its current exploration drilling program on the Company's wholly-owned Kibi Gold Project, located in the Kibi - Winneba greenstone belt (the \"Kibi Gold Belt\"), in Ghana, West Africa. Today's drilling results include 23 drill holes (6,122.5 m) focusing on the expansion of the Boomerang East gold system and 7 scout drill holes (1,186.5 m) targeting prospective litho-structural settings generated by the recently completed 3D VTEM / TMI inversion-modelling. The current drilling forms part of an aggressive in-house drilling initiative focussing on multiple resource expansion targets occupying the south-western (Zone 3) portion of the mineralization-hosting 1st-order F2 synclinorium fold structure; over 1 km beyond the limits of the currently defined Mineral Resource Estimate (the \"2021 MRE\", see the Company's news release of November 1, 2021).Present drilling efforts successfully: expanded the stacked, NE-plunging, multi-shoot Boomerang East gold system approximately 150 m along strike to the southwest (up-plunge), including discovery of new gold shoot; amalgamated the Boomerang East / Boomerang West resource expansion targets into a single, major gold system extending over 700 m down-plunge; and further defined the down-plunge continuity of the main Lower Shoot gold zone.Assay results reported are provided in Table 1 below and include the following highlights:Expansion Drilling (Boomerang East SW Strike-Extension - Boomerang West Down-Plunge)9.0 m at 5.27 grams per tonne gold (\"g/t Au\"), including 4.5 m at 8.98 g/t Au, from 65.5 m; and 15.4 m at 1.59 g/t Au, including 7.5 m at 2.01 g/t Au, from 120.0 m KBDD2352422.0 m at 1.17 g/t Au, including 15.7 m at 1.50 g/t Au, from 194.0 m in KBDD23522Definition Drilling (Main \"Lower Shoot\" Gold Zone - Boomerang East)51.0 m at 1.31 g/t Au, including 16.5 m at 3.09 g/t Au, from 127.0 m...
