Kobo Resources Expands Gold Mineralisation at Kossou with High-Grade Results
Kobo Resources Inc. has announced significant diamond drill results from its Kossou Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire, highlighting high-grade gold intercepts at both the Road Cut and Jagger Zones. The company reported that drilling at the Road Cut Zone returned 7.0 meters at 5.67 grams per tonne gold approximately 125 meters below surface, confirming continuity of high-grade mineralisation within the main shear system. At the Jagger Zone, high-grade gold was intercepted within the interpreted V2 vein set, with 2.0 meters at 75.29 g/t Au, including 1.0 meter at 150.0 g/t Au.
Step-Out Drilling Extends Jagger Zone
Step-out drilling south of the main Jagger Zone returned broad mineralised intervals and extended the strike potential of the system by approximately 150 meters. Notable results include 22.0 meters at 0.65 g/t Au, including 7.0 meters at 1.20 g/t Au. These results continue to demonstrate the scale and growth potential emerging across the Kossou Gold Project.
Edward Gosselin, CEO and Director of Kobo, commented: "These latest results continue to demonstrate the scale and growth potential emerging across the Kossou Gold Project. At the Road Cut Zone, drilling returned some of the strongest grades intersected to date within the main shear system, while step-out drilling south of the core Jagger Zone continues to extend mineralisation and expand the footprint of the broader mineralised system."
Drilling Program Progress
Recent drilling continues to support the company's structural interpretation at Kossou, with gold mineralisation consistently intersected within expected shear corridors and associated V2 quartz vein systems. With more than 42,000 meters of drilling now completed across 222 holes, Kobo continues to expand mineralisation across the project's three primary target areas and broader 9+ km prospective strike length as it advances toward a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate.

Gosselin added: "With more than 42,000 m drilled to date, results continue to support our structural interpretation across multiple target areas as we advance Kossou toward a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate. Recent drilling south of the core Jagger Zone also continues to demonstrate the broader scale potential of the system beyond the currently defined targets. In addition to Kossou, we are also focused on advancing regional targets, such as our Kotobi Permit, across the company's broader project footprint in Côte d'Ivoire."
