Zodiac Gold Inc. has reported first-pass trenching results from the Lewis North trend at its flagship Todi Gold Project in Liberia, returning 52 metres at 0.71 g/t gold, including 19 metres at 1.51 g/t gold in trench LWT001.

The initial trenching program has confirmed broad, near-surface gold mineralization along a second 1.8-kilometre, east-west gold-in-soil anomaly running parallel to the Lewis South trend. Trench LWT001 also intersected higher-grade intervals of 3 metres at 3.33 g/t gold and 5 metres at 2.71 g/t gold, with individual one-metre samples reaching up to 6.59 g/t gold. A separate zone in the same trench returned 25 metres at 0.43 g/t gold.

Approximately 400 metres away along the same trend, trench LWT002 intersected 28 metres at 0.48 g/t gold, including a 2-metre higher-grade core at 2.64 g/t gold. Results from a third trench, LWT003, remain pending.

The flagship Todi Gold Project covers a 2,316 square kilometre land package in Liberia and encompasses a 16-kilometre mineralized corridor known as the Monterra Trend. The Lewis target represents one of five priority targets situated along the Todi Shear Zone within the property.

“Lewis is rapidly emerging as a significant new exploration opportunity within our 16-kilometre Monterra Trend. We now have two parallel 1.8-kilometre gold-in-soil anomalies at Lewis, both returning broad, near-surface gold mineralization with higher-grade zones, strengthening our conviction in the scale and potential of this system. With drilling already underway at Lewis South and Arthington, we are mobilizing an additional drill rig to the Todi Gold Project, which is set to commence drilling within the next two weeks, allowing us to aggressively test multiple targets and accelerate our understanding of the continuity, geometry and overall scale of mineralization. Lewis is another example of the growing pipeline of high-priority targets across Monterra, and with the capital, team and infrastructure in place, we intend to systematically drill-test these opportunities.”

— David Kol, President & CEO

A third drill rig is currently being mobilized to the project to test targets including Lewis North and Feh Feh, with drilling operations scheduled to commence within two weeks. Zodiac Gold is advancing exploration across the property with the objective of releasing an initial mineral resource estimate for the Todi Gold Project in the fourth quarter of 2026.
