Drill Program Completed At The Alasala Target

VANCOUVER - Zodiac Gold Inc. reported on the program at the Alasala target, including 4.05m at 13.92 g/t (including 1.6m at 34.5 g/t Au), 7m at 2.23 g/t Au (including 1m at 12.65 g/t Au) and 4.25m at 0.99 g/t Au (including 0.7m at 5.25 g/t Au). In addition, channel sampling in the Lion Hill artisanal mining pit during this drill program by Zodiac Gold's geological team returned 6.05m at 9.06 g/t Au (including 1m at 46 g/t Au and 1m at 7.6 g/t Au). The results of drilling confirm that the high grades reported from surface exploration and previous drilling in the oxide zone have strong continuity at depth, with 4.05m at 13.92 g/t Au intersected 75m below surface. These zones are believed to be open at depth.

David Kol, President & CEO, said, "We are thrilled to unveil high-grade drilling and channel sampling results from the Alasala target, reinforcing the immense potential of the Todi Project following the success of our Phase 1 and Phase 2 programs at the Arthington target. Our geological team's agility in executing this campaign, adapting strategies as new structural insights emerged, has been pivotal. This enhanced understanding of the Alasala target's geology lays a powerful foundation for even greater success in our upcoming exploration efforts."

The drilling program, which commenced in Q3 of 2024 and was completed on October 11, 2024, consisted of eight diamond drill holes in the Mandingo Hill, Man Field and Lion Hill areas of the Alasala target.

ALDD007 returned results of 4.05m at 13.92 g/t (including 1.6m at 34.5 g/t Au), having intersected the interpreted down dip extension of a steeply dipping mineralized zone, close to the intersection of interpreted northwest and northeast trends. Previous results in this area include 19.6m at 6.15 g/t Au(1) and 9m at 4.6 g/t Au. ALDD008 targeted a northwest trending cross-cutting structure identified in the Lion Hill artisanal mining pit and returned results of 7m at 2.23 g/t Au (including 1m at 12.65 g/t Au) and 4.25m at 0.99 g/t Au (including 0.7m at 5.25 g/t Au).

The geological mapping and drill hole logging indicate a complex geological history. The recognition of the cross-cutting structures as highly significant to the distribution of gold mineralization, as well as the presence of favorable host rocks such as amphibolite and melanocratic gneiss, provides a strong model for future drilling as evidenced by the results of ALDD007 and ALDD008, the final two holes of the program. The Company plans to complete additional geological mapping, with a focus on the numerous cross-cutting structures identified in a satellite data interpretation study, and a structural study to aid in future drill hole targeting. Cross-cutting structures are interpreted on both the northwesterly Pan African age trend and the northeasterly Liberian age trend. The Todi Shear Zone marks the northwest trending zone between Liberian age rocks and rocks deformed during the Pan African Orogeny. Gold mineralization is known to occur on both northwesterly and northeasterly trends within the Todi Shear Zone.
