Kobo Resources Intersects Strong Gold Results Across All Three Zones at Kossou, Including 7.0 m at 5.06 g/t Au at the Road Cut Zone
Kobo Resources Inc. reported diamond drill results from ten additional holes completed across the Jagger, Road Cut, and Kadie Zones at its 100%-owned Kossou Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire. Results continue to confirm strong gold mineralisation along strike and at depth across all three high-priority targets at Kossou. At the Road Cut Zone, drilling along the Contact Zone Fault area continues to return encouraging gold intersections establishing it as a priority target for follow-up drilling. The Company expects to continue expanding the envelope of gold mineralisation across Kossou’s three primary target areas as it advances toward a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate later this year. Diamond Drill Results – Highlights: Road Cut Zone: KDD0151: 7.0 metres at 5.06 g/t Au from 32.0 m, incl. 1.0 m at 20.00 g/t Au; 3.0 m at 1.10 g/t Au from 61.0 m. KDD0148: 13.0 m at 1.05 g/t Au from 27.0 m, incl. 7.0 m at 1.55 g/t Au; 7.0 m at 1.60 g/t Au from 48.0 m, incl. 4.0 m at 2.2 g/t Au. KDD0149: 3.0 m at 3.05 g/t Au from 89.0 m. KDD0147: 5.0 m at 1.59 g/t Au from 44.0 m. Jagger Zone: KDD0143: 4.0 m at 1.57 g/t Au from 103.0 m; 7.0 m at 1.14 g/t Au from 123.0 m. Kadie Zone: KDD0146: 8.0 m at 1.35 g/t Au from 69.0 m, incl. 1.0 m at 8.91 g/t Au. Six drill holes were completed at the Road Cut Zone, targeting both the main shear and the Contact Zone Fault area. Three holes, KDD0147 (section RCZ600), KDD0148 (section RCZ550) and KDD0149 (section RCZ400), were drilled to test near-surface mineralisation along the Contact Zone Fault and each returned significant gold intercepts. Highlights include 13.0 m at 1.05 g/t Au from 27.0 m, including 7.0 m at 1.55 g/t Au in KDD0148, along with a second interval of 7.0 m at 1.60 g/t Au from 48.0 m, and 3.0 m at 3.05 g/t Au in KDD0149. Hole KDD0147 also intersected multiple mineralised intervals, including 5.0 m at 1.59 g/t Au from 44.0 m. This latter hole was drilled on the same section (RCZ600) as hole KDD0142, previously reported in press release dated January 30, 2025. The Company plans on drilling beneath KDD0052 (section RCZ550) to extend gold mineralisation to depth. These results continue to confirm consistent gold mineralisation along and adjacent to the Contact Zone Fault across all holes tested to date. The system remains open to the south of section RCZ600, with additional step out drilling planned to extend mineralisation to the south and to depth where warranted. On the main Road Cut Zone shear, KDD0151 (section RCZ250) intersected 7.0 m at 5.06 g/t Au from 32.0 m, associated with quartz veining within oxidised basalts. This hole overcut KDD0057, which previously returned 4.0 m at 1.44 g/t Au, confirming up-dip continuity of the shear zone. Further drilling is planned below KDD0057 targeting the main RCZ shear system that is showing strong grades in this area. Hole KDD0150 (section RCZ200) also intersected modest gold mineralisation associated with the main RCZ shear zone. Both drill holes in this area also intersected gold mineralisation along the Contact Zone Fault indicating the system still possesses gold potential in this area. Additional step out drilling at depth and to the north is being planned to extend gold zones along the RCZ Shear and the Contact Zone Fault systems. Three drill holes were completed at the Kadie Zone between sections KZ200 and KZ300, with all holes intersecting gold mineralisation. The strongest result was returned from KDD0146 on section KZ250, which intersected 8.0 m at 1.35 g/t Au from 69.0 m, including 1.0 m at 8.91 g/t Au. This intersection represents the down-dip extension of mineralisation previously reported in KDD0044, which returned 5.0 m at 1.16 g/t Au, 4.0 m at 1.16 g/t Au and 6.0 m at 2.39 g/t Au. Further north 50 m, KDD0145 intersected 3.0 m at 1.45 g/t Au within the expect shear corridor indicating northerly continuation of the zone. Mineralisation is associated with quartz veining within a well-defined shear zone, consistent with previous drilling at the Kadie Zone. The zone remains open at depth and along strike, with additional drilling planned to further define and expand mineralisation. One drill hole, KDD0143, was completed on section JZ950 to test the southern extension of the main Jagger shear system. The hole intersected two zones of gold mineralisation, including 4.0 m at 1.57 g/t Au from 103.0 m and 7.0 m at 1.14 g/t Au from 123.0 m. Both intersections occur at approximately 90 m below surface and are associated with shear-related mineralisation and a quartz feldspar porphyry contact, consistent with mineralisation observed elsewhere at Jagger. Grades in KDD0143 are higher than those intersected in KDD0140 on the same section, indicating an increase in grade with depth in this area. These results are also consistent with KDD0141, drilled approximately 50 m along strike to the north on section JZ900, which returned 22.0 m at 0.87 g/t Au, including 14.0 m at 1.09 g/t Au, confirming continuity of the mineralised structure between sections. The Jagger shear remains open to the south and at depth, with additional drilling planned to further evaluate this extension. An accurate dip and strike and controls of mineralisation are unconfirmed and mineralised zones are reported as downhole lengths. Drill holes are planned to intersect mineralised zones perpendicular to interpreted targets. All intercepts reported are downhole distances, true widths are unknown. Drill core was logged and sampled by Kobo personnel at site. Drill cores were sawn in half, with one half remaining in the core box and the other half secured into new plastic sample bags with sample number tickets. Core samples are drilled using HQ core barrels to below the level of oxidation and then reduced to NQ core barrels for the remainder of the bore hole. Samples are transported to the SGS Côte d’Ivoire facility in Yamoussoukro by Kobo personnel where the entire sample was prepared for analysis (prep code PRP86/PRP94). Sample splits of 50 grams were then analysed for gold using 50g Fire Assay as per SGS Geochem Method FAA505. QA/QC procedures for the drill program include insertion of a certificated standards every 20 samples, a blank every 20 samples and a duplicate sample every 20 samples. All QA/QC control samples returned values within acceptable limits.
