Kobo Resources Expands Gold Mineralisation at Kossou with High-Grade Results from Road Cut and Jagger Zones

Key Takeaways:

• New drill results confirm high-grade gold at the Road Cut and Jagger Zones.
• Over 42,000 meters of drilling in 222 holes have been completed.
• Step-out drilling extends the Jagger Zone footprint by about 150 meters.
• A second drill rig will soon be mobilized to advance resource definition.
• Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate is anticipated in the second half of 2026.

Background on Kobo Resources’ Progress

Kobo Resources Inc. announced significant drilling results from its Kossou Gold Project in Côte d’Ivoire, consolidating the Company’s focus on advancing multiple target areas. With more than 42,000 meters drilled across 222 holes, the exploration campaign has consistently intersected gold mineralization within recognized shear corridors and V2 vein systems.

Road Cut Zone: High-Grade Findings

The Road Cut Zone delivered some of the Project’s most compelling intervals. One drill hole returned 7.0 meters at 5.67 g/t Au approximately 125 meters below surface. The intersected quartz-carbonate breccia was described as characteristic of the strongest mineralization encountered in the Kossou area. Additional drill holes will further test the zone’s depth potential and strike continuity.

Expanding the Jagger Zone

At the Jagger Zone, 2.0 meters at 75.29 g/t Au were recorded, including a one-meter intercept at 150.0 g/t Au. Step-out holes continue to expand the mineralized footprint by roughly 150 meters south of the main zone. Highlights include 22.0 meters at 0.65 g/t Au and narrower intervals with higher grades. Drill holes consistently confirm the Company’s structural model, underscoring the scale of the discovery.

CEO Insights

Edward Gosselin, CEO and Director of Kobo, underscored the potential for growth at Kossou. “These latest results continue to demonstrate the scale and growth potential emerging across the Kossou Gold Project,” he stated, adding that the Company is encouraged by high-grade results at the Road Cut Zone and the expanding footprint at the Jagger Zone.

Extensive Exploration and Future Plans

Kobo has surpassed 42,000 meters of drilling to date, with continued focus on the Jagger, Road Cut, and Kadie Zones, as well as broader targets along a 9-plus kilometer prospective strike. A second drill rig will be mobilized in June to expedite the campaign ahead of the maiden Mineral Resource Estimate, currently targeted for the second half of 2026.

Kotobi Permit on Deck

Kobo plans to initiate its first drill program at the Kotobi Permit in late June 2026. Previous exploration revealed multiple gold-in-soil anomalies, and the Company aims to advance these targets rapidly. Infrastructure preparations are underway, including construction of a new camp and drill pads, signifying Kobo’s commitment to expanding its footprint in Côte d’Ivoire.

With the assay process back on track after regional power disruptions, Kobo anticipates a steady flow of results from its ongoing exploration program. The Company remains focused on advancing both the Kossou Gold Project and upcoming drilling at Kotobi, laying a foundation for its maiden Mineral Resource Estimate in 2026.
