Zodiac Gold Intersects 58 Metres at 3.15 g/t Au, Including 1 Metre at 158 g/t Au in Trenching at Lewis North

Zodiac Gold Inc. has released trenching results from LWT003 at the Lewis North target on its Todi Gold Project in Liberia. The trench returned 58 metres at 3.15 g/t Au, including 11 metres at 15.40 g/t Au and a high-grade 1-metre interval of 158 g/t Au. These results extend the known mineralized zone approximately 310 metres west of previous trenching at LWT001, strengthening the interpretation of a laterally extensive system across more than 700 metres of strike.

The company identifies Lewis North as a priority drill target due to broad widths, high-grade internal zones, and favorable host geology consisting of BIF and amphibolite. Drill testing at Lewis North is scheduled to commence immediately.

Assay methodology utilized 50g fire assay with atomic absorption finish, with re-assays conducted via gravimetric finish for samples exceeding 10 g/t Au. QA/QC returned acceptable results. True width cannot be accurately estimated at this early stage; intervals represent trenched lengths.

Zodiac Gold Inc. (ZAU) released results following its September 3, 2026 announcement of LWT001, which returned 52m @ 0.71 g/t Au, confirming the company's exploration strategy is progressing as planned. While the 158 g/t Au intercept is headline-grabbing, it remains a surface channel sample from trenching, not a diamond drill intersection. True thickness and depth continuity are unverified.

The news validates the geological model and supports the decision to prioritize drilling at Lewis North, but it does not alter the company's near-term financial position or resource timeline. Given the incremental nature of the update and its alignment with the announced 2026 exploration program, the market impact is expected to be routine and positive.

Zodiac Gold Inc. is an exploration-stage gold company focused on the Todi Gold Project in Liberia. The company holds a 2,316 km² land package along the Todi Shear Zone, comprising 418 km² in the flagship Todi property and 1,898 km² in two additional exploration licenses.

The primary exploration focus is the 16-kilometre Monterra Trend, a gold-in-soil anomaly stretching from Arthington to Youth Camp. Key targets include Arthington, identified as the flagship discovery, as well as Ben Ben, Lewis North/South, Feh Feh, and Alasala.

The project is currently in the exploration phase with no mineral resources or reserves reported. A NI 43-101 technical report and resource estimate are scheduled for Q4 2026.
