Giyani Appoints Chief Metallurgist and Commences Bulk Sampling and Metallurgical Testing at K. Hill, Botswana

OAKVILLE, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - July 10, 2017) - Giyani Gold Corporation (TSX VENTURE:WDG)(FRANKFURT:KT9) ("Giyani" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of bulk sampling and preliminary metallurgical testing at the Company's K. Hill manganese project (88% interest) in southern Botswana. Dr. Ian Flint has been appointed by Giyani as Chief Metallurgist to lead the Company's metallurgical test program. Dr. Flint is currently on site in Botswana with Giyani's Project Manager and Geological team examining the layout of numerous deposits discovered during the field mapping and reconnaissance sampling program. While in Botswana, Dr. Flint will identify the key areas for the Company's bulk sampling and metallurgical program. Giyani anticipates that this program will greatly enhance its understanding of the mineral deposits within the property and help focus its efforts on the right spots. Dr. Flint will supervise the mineral processing tests of the collected samples and the resulting concentrate will subsequently be analyzed by independent refining laboratories in Toronto, South Africa, and Germany. The results will provide the Company with an estimate on the grind size, potential grade and processing recoveries which will help to identify potential applications and end users for its manganese. Giyani's on-going regional mapping and surface sampling program will continue in parallel with this new phase of bulk sampling and metallurgical testing.
