Zodiac Gold's Phase Three Drilling Program Concludes with Strong Results, Confirming Continuous Mineralization and Enhancing Scale Potential

Zodiac Gold has completed its Phase Three drilling program at the Arthington target in Liberia, with highly encouraging assay results. The program confirmed a robust, west-northwest trending mineralized corridor and continuity of mineralized zones between Red Hill Field and Garang Base artisanal workings over a 400m strike length. Highlights include 18m at 4.67 g/t Au and 25.5m at 1 g/t Au. The results will inform the next phase of exploration and technical studies.

Zodiac Gold Inc. (TSXV: ZAU) has successfully completed its Phase Three drilling program at the Arthington target within its flagship Todi Gold Project in Liberia. The program, which consisted of seven holes, has yielded highly encouraging assay results, confirming a robust, west-northwest trending mineralized corridor. The drilling program also achieved a significant milestone by confirming the continuity of mineralized zones between the Red Hill Field and Garang Base artisanal workings over a 400m strike length.

Key highlights of the drilling program include:
- ADD033: 18m at 4.67 g/t Au, including 1m at 55.9 g/t Au within a wider interval of 10m at 8.3 g/t Au.
- ADD034: 25.5m at 1 g/t Au, including 9.25m at 2.14 g/t Au.
- ADD035: 17.51m at 0.91 g/t Au, including 3.58m at 2.46 g/t Au.
- ADD036: 10.8m at 1.24 g/t Au, including 0.42m at 22.2 g/t Au and 1m at 2.1 g/t Au.
- ADD037: 26.38m at 1.08 g/t Au, including 1m at 9.22 g/t Au within a wider interval of 3.63m at 3.92 g/t Au.
- ADD038: 13.04m at 1.19 g/t Au, including 4.55m at 2.02 g/t Au.
- ADD039: 17.25m at 0.95 g/t Au, including 1.15m at 2.7 g/t Au and 4.92m at 2.08 g/t Au.

These results provide critical geological insights that will enhance targeting for high-grade zones and extensions at depth and along strike. The Arthington target is located within a continuous 16km long soil anomaly with numerous artisanal workings. Drilling in Phases 1-3 has been focused on a 1km strike length, and mineralization is open along strike, with a single hole drilled a further 1km to the west returning 1.05m at 8.98 g/t Au.

David Kol, President & CEO of Zodiac Gold, stated, "The results from our Phase Three program are a major step forward in our exploration of the Arthington target. By intersecting mineralization between the Red Hill Field and Garang Base artisanal workings, we've done more than just add new intercepts of significant width and grade, we've confirmed that these zones are part of a continuous mineralized system. This breakthrough fills in critical gaps along strike, greatly enhancing the scale potential and de-risking our path forward. It's a pivotal milestone that validates our geological model and strengthens the case for a district-scale gold discovery within our extensive license package."

The Ben Ben target, also within the 16km soil anomaly and with a program of trenching ongoing, is interpreted to be the eastern extension of the mineralization at Arthington. Channel sampling from the Ben Ben target has returned results of 0.65m at 53.6 g/t Au, 0.44m at 71 g/t Au and 1.75m at 6.23 g/t Au.

The drilling program has delivered critical geological insights that will enhance targeting for high-grade zones and extensions at depth and along strike. The Arthington target is located within a continuous 16km long soil anomaly with numerous artisanal workings. Drilling in Phases 1-3 has been focused on a 1km strike length, and mineralization is open along strike, with a single hole drilled a further 1km to the west returning 1.05m at 8.98 g/t Au.

With significant mineralization now intersected in 37 of 39 holes drilled to date, the Company's success at the Arthington target demonstrates the district-scale opportunity within the +2,300 sq km license package.
