Kobo Resources drills 10 m of 2.5 g/t Au at Kossou

KRI · Price

Executive Summary

  • Kobo Resources Inc. released additional diamond drill results from its 100%-owned Kossou gold project in Ivory Coast, confirming strong, continuous gold mineralization along the Contact Zone (CZ) fault and defining parallel gold-bearing shears.
  • Significant intersections were reported in the Road Cut zone, including 10.0 m at 2.50 g/t Au (including 6.0 m at 3.77 g/t Au) and 13.0 m at 1.49 g/t Au, demonstrating robust downdip continuity.
  • Drilling in the Jagger zone returned high-grade intersections, including 1.0 m at 17.30 g/t Au, confirming the persistence of well-defined shears at depth and supporting the geological model for resource expansion.

Key Details

  • Road Cut Zone (Section RCZ600):

    • KDD0109: Intersected 10.0 m at 2.50 g/t Au from 41.0 m, including 6.0 m at 3.77 g/t Au from 45.0 m. Also intersected 10.0 m at 1.86 g/t Au from 204.0 m and 11.0 m at 0.51 g/t Au from 229.0 m.
    • KDD0104: Intersected 13.0 m at 1.49 g/t Au from 93.0 m and 7.0 m at 1.20 g/t Au from 72.0 m (located ~20 m west of the CZ fault).
    • Other Road Cut Intercepts:
      • KDD0102: 10.0 m at 0.55 g/t Au and 5.0 m at 1.75 g/t Au.
      • KDD0105: 1.0 m at 5.05 g/t Au associated with quartz veining south of RCZ600.
    • Continuity: Results from KDD0109 confirm excellent downdip continuity of gold mineralization first identified in KDD0014 (9.0 m at 4.27 g/t Au), establishing a robust structure up to 175.0 m from the main fault.
    • Strike Length: Mineralized intersections confirm consistent gold mineralization along a 150-to-200-metre section of the CZ fault.
  • Jagger Zone (Sections JZ750 and JZ800):

    • KDD0100: Intersected 1.0 m at 17.30 g/t Au from 38.0 m, 9.0 m at 1.04 g/t Au from 172.0 m, and 11.0 m at 1.26 g/t Au from 188.0 m.
    • KDD0106: Intersected 3.3 m at 0.96 g/t Au from 62.7 m near surface, confirming mineralized shears along the southern continuation of Structure 6.
    • Depth: Results at depth confirm that well-defined shears persist below 200 m.
  • Technical & QA/QC:

    • Sampling: HQ core barrels used below oxidation level; NQ for remainder. Samples prepared at SGS Ivory Coast (Yamoussoukro) using prep code PRP86/PRP94.
    • Analysis: 50-gram fire assay (SGS method FAA505).
    • Controls: Certified standard, blank, and duplicate inserted every 20 samples; all returned within acceptable limits.
    • Qualified Person: Paul Sarjeant, PGeo (President, COO, and Director), reviewed and approved the technical information per National Instrument 43-101.
    • Disclaimer: All intercepts are downhole lengths; true widths are unknown.

Notable Quotes

  • Edward Gosselin, CEO: "The latest results continue to confirm strong, continuous gold mineralization along the Contact Zone (CZ) fault. These results also further define parallel gold-bearing shears within both the Road Cut zone and Jagger zone structural corridors, reinforcing our confidence in the scale and continuity of the system."
  • Edward Gosselin, CEO: "The new drilling has outlined broad mineralized zones with strong downdip continuity and encouraging grades near surface and at depth, all consistent with our geological model for Kossou. Together, these results continue to strengthen our view that Kossou hosts a robust and growing gold system with significant potential for resource expansion as drilling progresses."
