Zodiac Gold begins drilling at Todi

Executive Summary

• Zodiac Gold Inc. has commenced the mobilization of two diamond drill rigs to the Ben Ben target at its Todi gold project in Liberia, marking the start of its inaugural drill program at this specific site.
• The company is advancing its 2026 district-scale exploration strategy, which includes up to 14,000 metres of diamond drilling along the 16-kilometre Ben Ben to Youth camp corridor, aiming to test the less than 6% of the gold-in-soil anomaly that has been drill-tested to date.
• The exploration program is supported by a strong treasury following a recent $6.1-million financing and includes parallel activities such as 3,600 metres of trenching, high-resolution drone-based geophysics, and up to 10,000 soil samples across the land package.

Key Details

• Drilling Mobilization: Two diamond drill rigs are being mobilized to the Ben Ben target; the inaugural drill program is scheduled to commence in February 2026.
• Drilling Scope: The company plans to complete up to 14,000 metres of diamond drilling along the Ben Ben to Youth camp corridor.
• Drilling Targets: Initial holes target interpreted extensions beneath mineralized zones identified in 2025 trenching and artisanal mining pits.
• Previous High-Grade Channel Samples:
  • 0.65 metre at 53.60 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au)
  • 0.44 metre at 71.0 g/t Au
  • 1.75 metres at 6.23 g/t Au
• Trenching Plan: Approximately 3,600 metres of trenching is planned along strike from previous work in Ben Ben and Youth camp areas, as well as across gold-in-soil anomalies ranging from 50 ppb to 4,660 ppb (4.66 g/t Au).
• Previous Trenching Results: 30 metres at 1.24 g/t Au, including 1 metre at 25.1 g/t Au and 1 metre at 6.61 g/t Au.
• Geophysics: A high-resolution, drone-based magnetic and lidar survey will be completed over the full 16-kilometre trend at 50-metre line spacing to enhance understanding of lithological boundaries and structural architecture.
• Surface Geochemical Sampling: Up to 10,000 soil samples are planned in the Bomi South and Bong West licences to follow up on significant stream sediment anomalies associated with the Todi shear zone structures.
• Financial Context: The company cites a strong treasury following the recent completion of a $6.1-million financing, enabling an aggressive exploration program.
• Project Scale: The Todi gold project covers a 2,316-square-kilometre land package along the Todi shear zone, with five drill-ready targets (two previously drilled).

Notable Quotes

• "We are very encouraged to have drill mobilization under way at Ben Ben as part of our 2026 exploration strategy... This program is designed to build on the success at Arthington and begin unlocking the broader potential of the 16-kilometre corridor, where multiple high-priority targets remain virtually untested. With a strong treasury following the recent completion of our $6.1-million financing, we are well positioned to execute an aggressive and disciplined exploration program and generate meaningful news flow through the year." — David Kol, President and CEO
