Kobo Resources Intersects 10.0 m at 2.50 g/t Au and 13.0 m at 1.49 g/t Au, Confirming Strong Gold Mineralisation Along the Contact Zone Fault at Kossou

Strong mineralisation along the Contact Zone Fault (‘CZ Fault’) confirmed with multiple broad gold intercepts, including 10.0 m at 2.50 g/t Au and 11.0 m at 0.51 g/t Au at the Road Cut Zone
High-grade near-surface intersections such as 1.0 m at 17.30 g/t Au at the Jagger Zone underscore the strength of gold-bearing shears and continuity within the Jagger structural corridor
Excellent down-dip and along-strike continuity demonstrated across a 300-m section of the CZ Fault, reinforcing the Company’s structural model and confirming the growth potential of the Kossou Gold Project

Kobo Resources Inc. (‘ Kobo’ or the ‘ Company ‘) ( TSX.V: KRI ) is pleased to report additional diamond drill results from its ongoing program at the 100%-owned Kossou Gold Project (‘ Kossou ‘) in Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa.

11.0 m at 1.26 g/t Au from 188.0 m

Edward Gosselin, CEO and Director of Kobo commented: ‘The latest results continue to confirm strong, continuous gold mineralisation along the Contact Zone 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.’ He continued: ‘The new drilling has outlined broad mineralised zones with strong down-dip 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.’

Road Cut Zone Highlights

Drilling at the Road Cut Zone targeted a 300-m strike length between sections RCZ400 and RCZ700 , with results confirming mineralisation along and adjacent to the CZ Fault. Boreholes KDD0104 and KDD0109 on section RCZ600 returned some of the strongest results to date:

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, as well as 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 returned 13.0 m at 1.49 g/t Au from 93 m and 7.0 m at 1.20 g/t Au from 72 m, located approximately 20 m west of the CZ Fault.

The mineralised intersections in boreholes KDD0104 and KDD0109 along the CZ Fault are comparable in both grade and thicknesses reported previously in borehole KDD0098 . This hole shows a good degree of consistency and continuity down dip of the prominent shear zone.

The upper mineralised intersection of 10.0 m at 2.50 g/t Au in KDD0109 also confirms an excellent down-dip continuity of gold mineralisation first identified in hole KDD0014 (9.0 m at 4.27 g/t Au) , establishing a robust, gold-bearing structure up to 175.0 m from the main fault.

Additional intercepts along the CZ Fault include 10.0 m at 0.55 g/t Au and 5.0 m at 1.75 g/t Au in KDD0102 , while KDD0105 returned a 1 m interval at 5.05 g/t Au associated with quartz veining south of RCZ600 . Collectively, the Road Cut Zone results confirm consistent gold mineralisation along a 150-200 m section of the CZ Fault, highlighting its potential as a major first-order control on mineralisation.

Jagger Zone Highlights

Drilling at the Jagger Zone was completed across two 50-m sections (JZ750 and JZ800) , designed to test continuity within the central shear and southern extensions of the zone.

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 , demonstrating higher grades and continuity within the core of the Jagger shear zone compared to earlier holes (e.g., KDD0031 – 4.0 m at 3.26 g/t Au ).
KDD0106 returned 3.3 m at 0.96 g/t Au from 62.7 m near surface, confirming the presence of mineralised shears along the southern continuation of Structure 6.

Although shallow holes KDD0106 and KDD0108 intersected lower-grade mineralisation, results at depth confirm that well-defined shears persist below 200 m , warranting follow-up drilling to extend these high-grade zones down dip.

Table 1: Summary of Significant Diamond Drill Hole Results

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.

Sampling, QA/QC, and Analytical Procedures

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 QAQC control samples returned values within acceptable limits.
