Introductory Note

This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed by the Reporting Persons on March 29, 2018 (the “Schedule 13D”) and relating to the common shares, without par value, of Galiano Gold Inc. (the “Issuer”, formerly Asanko Gold Inc.), a corporation incorporated under the laws of British Colombia, Canada and is being filed pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Each item below amends and supplements the information disclosed under the corresponding Item of the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. When disclosure made in one Item in the Schedule 13D prior to this Amendment No. 1 was incorporated by reference into another Item, amendments made herein to any such first Item are incorporated into each such second Item of the Schedule 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

The Reporting Persons purchased the common shares for investment purposes pursuant to a combination agreement dated March 29, 2018 (the “Combination Agreement”), between GF Netherlands, Gold Fields Orogen Holding (BVI) Limited, GF Canco, Asanko Gold Inc., PMI Gold Corporation, Adansi Gold Company (GH) Limited and Asanko Gold Ghana Limited. As part of the Combination Agreement, the Reporting Persons and the Issuer formed of a 50:50 corporate joint venture, which owns a 90% interest in the Asanko Gold Mine and all associated properties in Ghana (the “Mine”), with the Government of Ghana holding a free-carried 10% interest. Under this agreement, the Issuer, as operator, has been responsible for the management of the Asanko Gold Mine.

On March 29, 2022, the Issuer published two announcements containing financial and operating results of the Mine. In light of the material nature of certain information contained in these announcements, the Reporting Persons are considering various actions they may take in connection with their investment in Galiano and the Mine. While the common shares were originally acquired for investment purposes and not with the intent to change or influence control of the Issuer or to participate in any transaction having that purpose or effect, the Reporting Persons are now considering options which could have that effect. The Reporting Persons intend to continue to evaluate the Issuer’s business, financial condition, results of operations, capital structure, management, market performance, competitive outlook and other relevant factors. As part of such evaluation, the Reporting Persons have communicated with representatives of the Issuer, and they may continue to seek the view of, hold discussions with and respond to inquiries from, representatives of the Issuer and other persons regarding the Issuer’s affairs and potential transactions. However, depending on the conclusions reached as part of this on-going analysis, there is no guarantee that the Reporting Persons will take any action in relation to the Issuer or the Mine.

Item 7. Materials to Be Filed as Exhibits.

None.
