Hamak Gold Limited (LSE: HAMA) is pleased to announce positive gold and
multi-element exploration results from the first grid block soil sampling in
the Gozohn licence, which are supported by a rock chip sample of 2.56 grammes
per tonne (g/t) gold centred on a 1.5 kilometre (km) long gold in soil anomaly
on the western limb of the Mt Koklun Greenstone belt on the NW part of the
licence.

Highlights

·    Analysis of 853 soil samples from Gozohn Block-1 return positive gold
results over the western limb of Mt Koklun Greenstone belt

·    Anomalous gold values in soil extend over 1.5km in length and are
supported by a rock chip sample of 2.56g/t centred on known artisanal gold
mining area

·    Detailed trenching and channel sampling is now planned to test the
anomalous gold results

·    Further 701 soil samples from Gozohn Block-2 currently being analysed
in Laboratory

Karl Smithson, Executive Director commented:

"We are highly encouraged that our first soil sampling results have
successfully identified significant gold anomalies in our priority target area
of the Gozohn licence. These positive results extend over a considerable
strike length associated with known artisanal gold mining and are supported by
a rock chip sample returning 2.6g/t gold from identified quartz vein
assemblages that occur throughout the area.

"We plan to commence detailed follow up through trenching and channel sampling
to identify and map in detail the sources of the gold anomalies, which could
then lead to drilling of the targeted gold anomalies."

"We look forward to providing further updates from our active exploration
programmes in both the high priority Gozohn and Nimba licences."

Gozohn Licence Exploration and Results

The Gozohn licence (MEL 7002318) covers an area of 766 square kilometres and
is located some 30 kilometres to the south of the high-grade Kokoya Gold mine
operated by MNG Gold (Figure 1).

A total of 853 samples (inclusive of QA/QC control samples) were collected
from the north west part of the licence, under the supervision of senior
company personnel, across a strongly folded, deformed and northerly plunging
Greenstone-belt terrane (Figure 2).  The western limb of this fold belt,
where significant artisanal gold mining activity is being conducted, was grid
soil sampled off a 5km baseline along traverse lines spaced 250 metres (m)
apart with samples collected every 50m. Laboratory assay results are now
available for this first block of samples.

A second block of 701 soil samples has been collected to the south of the
licence (Block 2) and these samples have been consigned to the ALS laboratory
in Ireland for analysis (Figure 2).

Soil Sampling and Rock Chip Results

The gold and multi-element analytical results for Block-1 were assessed by
statistical methods to determine the standard deviation for each set of
elements and to determine the correlation coefficients between the elements.

Significant gold anomalies were returned over two areas on the western limb of
Mt Koklun, one extending over a 1.5km distance having a roughly northerly
strike, another extending over a 1km distance and having a roughly north
westerly strike, with both anomalies converging in the north. Weaker gold
anomalies were detected on the eastern limb of Mt Koklun which require further
investigation.

A rock chip sample of quartz-rich migmatite returned a value of 2.56g/t gold.
This sample coincides with a strong gold in soil anomaly and is proximal to
active artisanal mining Figure 3).
