Determine 1: Highway Reduce Zone Drill Gap Places and Simplified Geology
The Firm additionally accomplished an preliminary check of the hole between the Highway Reduce and Jagger Zones, confirming the presence of the interpreted construction. Moreover, the Firm has offered a top level view of its subsequent exploration priorities because it advances plans for its subsequent part of drilling and regional goal work.

Edward Gosselin, CEO and Director of Kobo commented: “Our newest drilling has outlined further robust gold mineralization on the Highway Reduce Zone, highlighting its scale and the consistency of grades and widths we’re seeing alongside strike and down dip. Importantly, these outcomes construct on our understanding of the structural setting at Kossou and can assist information how we advance the Highway Reduce Zone in parallel with the Jagger Zone, together with the structural hall between the 2 targets.”
He continued: “With this part of diamond drilling now full, our crew is concentrated on advancing a bigger, systematic program to additional outline the Jagger, Highway Reduce and Contact Zones, check the potential connection of the hole between these Jagger and Highway Reduce Zones, and develop our footprint to new targets recognized on the Jagger South space and the underexplored western portion of the allow. Primarily based on the work accomplished so far, we stay assured within the scale and continuity of mineralization at Kossou and imagine the challenge continues to show vital potential as we transfer in direction of the following part of drilling and a maiden Mineral Useful resource Estimate.”
Highway Reduce Zone Outcomes
Outcomes from six diamond drill holes on the Highway Reduce Zone have been obtained. Holes KDD0088 to KDD0090 had been drilled on three sections (RCZ725 to RCZ775) (see Determine 1) to check gold mineralization related to diamond drill gap KDD0056 , which beforehand returned 10.0 m at 4.57 g/t Au ( see press launch dated January 30, 2025 ).
KDD0090 intersected two zones of robust gold mineralization: an higher intercept of 9.75 m at 1.69 g/t Au , together with 1.0 m at 11.20 g/t Au , highlighting the high-grade nature of the cross-cutting V2 veins throughout the dominant northerly trending shear programs. The second intercept, 11.0 m at 2.88 g/t Au from 140.0 m, together with 3.0 m at 8.25 g/t Au from 143.0 m, helps the continuity of high-grade mineralization inside a beforehand recognized construction (see Determine 2). Outcomes from KDD0088 and KDD0089 , which returned 3.5 m at 2.33 g/t Au from 81.0 m, illustrate the variability of gold grades throughout the well-defined shear zones on the Highway Reduce Zone. These mineralised zones stay open at depth and shall be focused in future drilling.
A second set of holes, KDD0091 to KDD0093 (see Determine 3), focused an space of artisanal mining beforehand trenched and sampled by the Firm, which returned robust gold mineralization together with trench KTR070 with 28.0 m at 4.44 g/t Au and trench KTR069 with 6.0 m at 2.50 g/t Au ( see press launch dated December 5, 2023 ). Earlier diamond drilling on this goal additionally confirmed robust mineralization, together with gap KDD0012 , which intersected 11.0 m at 1.71 g/t Au from 50.0 m ( see press launch dated July 11, 2024 ).
All drill holes intersected vital gold mineralization, highlighted by KDD0091 , which returned 15.55 m at 2.30 g/t Au from 123.0 m, together with 8.30 m at 3.43 g/t Au from 126.0 m. The mineralized zone is characterised by robust shearing throughout the basaltic host rocks, cross-cut by a collection of V2 and V1 veins which might be strongly altered and host gold mineralization that was constant all through the interval. This zones exhibits wonderful continuity from floor down dip on the part RCZ500 (see Determine 4). Extra drilling is being deliberate to check these buildings to the north and south alongside strike of shear zone and to depth.
Testing Structural Hall Between Jagger and Highway Reduce Zones
One gap, KDD0087 , was drilled throughout the interpreted structural hall between the Highway Reduce and Jagger Zones. The opening intersected a well-defined shear zone close to floor however didn’t return vital gold mineralization. The presence of the shear construction offers additional help for Kobo’s geological interpretation on this space. Extra drilling is deliberate to proceed assessing the potential structural linkages and mineralization continuity between these two high-priority targets.
Soil Geochemistry to Outline Targets: South Jagger and Western Kossou Allow Space
The Firm has prolonged detailed infill soil geochemistry throughout the South Jagger Zone, amassing 270 samples so far. Earlier infill sampling on a 25 m by 25 m grid proved efficient in defining drill-ready targets on the Highway Reduce, Jagger and Kadie Zones additional north. The South Jagger soil anomaly, which constantly returned values as much as 1000+ ppb Au, now extends over a distance larger than 2 km, reinforcing its potential for follow-up drilling.
As well as, current soil geochemical surveying has outlined a brand new northwest-trending anomaly of over 400 m within the western portion of the Kossou Allow, with particular person pattern outcomes returning values as much as 1,380 ppb gold. These outcomes additional help systematic goal definition and show the upside potential throughout less-explored parts of the allow.
Replace on Regional Exploration: Kotobi Allow
On the Kotobi Allow, the Firm has collected 1,942 soil samples so far, with further outcomes pending. Current work has outlined a 50+ ppb gold-in-soil anomaly extending over 400+ m of strike size, with particular person samples returning between 370 ppb and 1,420 ppb Au. Comply with-up pitting and trenching are presently underway to raised outline this anomaly and assess its potential for future exploration work.
Earn-In Settlement: NESDAVE MINING
Regional scale soil geochemical sampling is underway on the Akoboissue Allow (PR0970). Data conferences are underway with native village chiefs and elders with respect to the Annépé Allow (PR0973) and regional scale soil geochemical sampling is anticipated start shortly.
Subsequent Steps: Making ready for Expanded Drilling and maiden Mineral Useful resource Estimate at Kossou
With this present part of drilling now full, the Firm’s exploration and technical crew is integrating the newest drill knowledge into detailed geological fashions to refine its understanding of the structural controls on the Jagger and Highway Reduce Zones. This work will immediately inform the Firm’s subsequent main drill marketing campaign, which is anticipated to comprise greater than 15,000 m of further diamond drilling and start in H2 2025. This expanded program will prioritize systematic step-out and deeper drilling on the Jagger Zone to help preliminary useful resource modelling, proceed enlargement drilling on the Highway Reduce Zone, and comply with up on the interpreted structural hall between the 2 zones.
Additional, the Firm plans to advance the Contact Zone with focused drilling based mostly on structural mapping accomplished so far and start testing new targets on the western facet of the Kossou Allow, supported by current soil geochemical outcomes indicating a robust northwest-trending gold anomaly. This methodical strategy is designed to construct on the Firm’s drilling success so far, advance the potential for a future maiden Mineral Useful resource Estimate, and help the Firm’s broader technique to unlock worth inside Côte d’Ivoire’s extremely potential Birimian gold belt.

Sampling, QA/QC, and Analytical Procedures
Drill core was logged and sampled by Kobo personnel at website. Drill cores had been sawn in half, with one half remaining within the core field and the opposite half secured into new plastic pattern baggage with pattern quantity tickets. Core samples are drilled utilizing HQ core barrels to under the extent of oxidation after which decreased to NQ core barrels for the rest of the bore gap. Samples are transported to the SGS Côte d’Ivoire facility in Yamoussoukro by Kobo personnel the place the whole pattern was ready for evaluation (prep code PRP86/PRP94). Pattern splits of fifty grams had been then analysed for gold utilizing 50g Fireplace Assay as per SGS Geochem Technique FAA505. QA/QC procedures for the drill program embody insertion of a certificated requirements each 20 samples, a clean each 20 samples and a reproduction pattern each 20 samples. All QAQC management samples returned values inside acceptable limits.
