Xtra-Gold Resources Corp. announced highly encouraging results for the recently completed Bomaa gold project scout drilling program, on the Company's wholly-owned Kwabeng Concession, located in the Kibi — Winneba greenstone belt (the "Kibi Gold Belt"), in Ghana, West Africa. A total of 17 diamond core boreholes totaling 985 metres were completed by the Company's in-house drilling crew; with the first pass drill program targeting the Bomaa North segment of the extensive Bomaa auriferous float /subcrop train. Present assay results also include outcrop channel sampling work conducted in conjunction with the drill program. Highlights of the exploration results reported now include: 18.5 metres ("m") grading 2.04 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold, including 5.22 g/t gold over 5.0 m, from 4.5 m down-hole in #BADD17003; 6.5 m grading 1.2 g/t gold, including 3.6 g/t gold over 1.0 m, from 46.05 m down-hole in #BADD17009; and 5.4 m grading 1.59 g/t gold, including 2.48 g/t gold over 2.2 m, from 28.5 m down-hole in #BADD17016; Saw-cut channel sample composite grading 4.23 g/t gold over 12.0 m, including 9.14 g/t gold over 2.2 m in sample string #RSBA004 (stripped outcrop); and saw-cut channel sample #CSBA006 grading 25.0 g/t gold over 0.9 m (trench #TBA002); Scout drilling successfully traces Bomaa North silicified argillite /quartz vein zone over approximately 200 m strike length and 170 m down-dip from surface (~90 m vertical).
