Kobo Resources Inc. has intersected multiple high-grade gold intervals at the Road Cut Zone within its 100%-owned Kossou Gold Project in Côte d’Ivoire, extending the Main Road Cut Shear at depth where the system remains open.

Diamond drill hole KDD0179 returned a high-grade intercept of 1.0 metre at 68.60 g/t gold from 197.0 metres. The same hole intersected 5.0 metres at 4.55 g/t gold from 214.0 metres, including 1.0 metre at 17.60 g/t gold, alongside a separate interval of 6.0 metres at 2.30 g/t gold from 223.0 metres.

Additional drilling on the northern sections of the Road Cut Zone also returned notable results. Hole KDD0175 intersected 7.0 metres at 2.25 g/t gold from 166.0 metres and 2.0 metres at 6.50 g/t gold from 187.0 metres. Hole KDD0177 returned 6.0 metres at 0.93 g/t gold from 279.0 metres and 4.0 metres at 4.26 g/t gold from 294.0 metres.

The company is utilizing a two-drill program to advance exploration across the deposit. Cumulative diamond drilling at Kossou reached 26,267 metres with total drilling standing at 32,154 metres as of November 2025, and recent activity has pushed total project drilling past 51,295 metres across more than 50 holes during the current active phase.

The ongoing exploration program is designed to support resource definition ahead of an inaugural Mineral Resource Estimate for the Kossou Gold Project, which Kobo Resources expects to release in the fourth quarter of 2026. Within the wider region, Montage Gold Corp. reported exploration results at its Didievi gold project in July 2026, including an intercept of 15.0 metres at 20.97 g/t gold at the Blaffo Guetto deposit.

One of our primary objectives at Kossou is to continue testing the boundaries of the mineralised systems we have identified at the project, and the northern end of the Road Cut Zone is giving us good reason to keep drilling.

What is particularly encouraging is what these holes are telling us about where the Road Cut Zone can continue to grow.

— Edward Gosselin, CEO and Director of Kobo
