and aggregate number of Shares into which the Convertible Debenture may be converted will be determined based on the closing date of
the Transaction but will be calculated to result in Kinross holding a maximum of 18% of the outstanding Shares, on a partially diluted
basis assuming the conversion of all convertible securities of Asante held by Kinross, immediately following the Transaction (after giving
effect to the Transaction and any other treasury issuances of Shares that occur prior to, or concurrently with, the closing of the Transaction).</P>

Shares on a non-diluted basis, and 6.9% of the issued and outstanding Shares on a partially diluted basis assuming exercise of the Warrants.
Upon closing of the Transaction, Kinross will own approximately 9.5% of the outstanding Shares, on a non-diluted basis, and up to 18%

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify">If the Transaction were to close today, the principal
amount of the Convertible Debenture would result in Kinross owning approximately 17.3% of the outstanding Shares, on a partially diluted
basis assuming the conversion of the convertible securities of Asante held by Kinross. Interest on the Convertible Debenture shall be
payable in-kind through an increase in the principal amount of the Convertible Debenture (subject to a restriction on interest that would
cause Kinross and its affiliates to own more than 19.9% of the Shares on a partially diluted basis assuming the conversion of all convertible
securities of Asante held by Kinross).</P>
