Zodiac Gold Completes Pre-Drilling Satellite Data Interpretation at the Alasala Target on the Todi Gold Project


Zodiac Gold Inc. (TSXV: ZAU) ("Zodiac Gold" or the "Company"), a West-African gold exploration company, is pleased to announce that it has completed a satellite data interpretation study (the "Study") covering the Alasala target of the Company's Todi Gold Project, which builds on the regional interpretation completed by A.C.A Howe International Limited ("ACA Howe") in 2021. The Study focused on a 72 km2 area including the 2 km long mineralized trend from Mandingo Hill to Lion Hill (see Map 1 below), delineated by soil sampling, trenching, channel sampling, auger drilling, and extensive artisanal workings with visible gold.

Management Commentary

David Kol, CEO, commented, "Completing this satellite data interpretation study marks a significant step forward in our exploration efforts at the Alasala target. The detailed insights into the geological setting and the identification of new structural trends improve our understanding of the controls on mineralization and enhance our confidence in the potential for high-grade gold mineralization. We are excited to advance to the next phase of our drill program and further unlock the value of the Todi Gold Project."

Highlights

The Study was completed by ACA Howe in advance of Zodiac Gold's upcoming drill program at Alasala and serves to improve the understanding of the geological setting and history of the area, as well as providing information on potential controls on mineralization. Specifically, the Study has revealed the following key points:

  • The 2 km mineralized trend broadly follows a topographical high shown in radar data (see Map 2 below). A series of scarps has been identified on this trend and these continue along strike to the north and south. Initial follow-up on the ground by Zodiac Gold's geological team has identified weathered amphibolites and gneisses aligned with the north-northeast trending feature.
  • A number of previously unknown cross-cutting east-northeast trending structures have been interpreted and it has been determined that a higher intensity structural corridor coincides with highly anomalous soil sample results at Mandingo Hill and Mamie Field (see Map 2 below). Notably, Zodiac Gold's recent rock chip samples of 32 and 33 g/t Au from Mandingo Hill (reported in Zodiac's press release dated May 28th, 2024), are in close proximity to interpreted cross-cutting east-northeast trending structures.
  • High grade soil samples and the Man Field artisanal pit are also located on an interpreted cross-cutting east-northeast trending structure (see Map 2 below).
  • Several northwest trending structures were also interpreted and the foliation and banding in the metamorphic rocks of the area is confirmed as being predominantly to the northwest and dipping to the southwest (see Map 2 below), in line with the regional scale Todi shear zone.
  • The follow up drill program is expected to begin on the Todi Gold Project in roughly 2 weeks.

Zodiac Gold believes the interaction of these structural features, as well as the presence of favorable host rocks, provides potential for high grade gold mineralization as demonstrated by the recent rock chip samples and historical drilling results (reported in Zodiac's press release dated May 28th, 2024).
