QUEBEC CITY — Kobo Resources Inc. (' Kobo' or the ' Company ') (TSX.V: KRI) is pleased to announce results from the first four diamond drill holes of the Company's current exploration program at its 100%-owned Kossou Gold Project (' Kossou ') in Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa. The new holes targeted the Jagger Zone and returned multiple high-grade gold intercepts while significantly improving the Company's understanding of the geology and structural controls that host mineralisation across this priority target.

Jagger Zone Diamond Drill Results – Highlights:
Article content
Edward Gosselin, CEO and Director of Kobo commented: 'We continue to deliver strong results at our Kossou Gold Project. Our latest drill results strengthen our understanding of the continuity of gold mineralisation at the Jagger Zone and continue to validate the broader structural model we've been developing at Kossou. In addition, new intercepts indicate additional mineralisation in the footwall of the Jagger Shear Zone within 'Jagger Structure 6' and additional drilling is warranted to further define this target.'
Article content
He continued: 'Gold mineralisation at the Jagger Zone occurs within an approximately 70-m wide zone of shearing and is closely associated with the quartz feldspar porphyry and diorite intrusives within the basalts, part of an overall 200 m wide deformation zone that has been mapped the length of the Jagger-Road Cut Zone area. This improved understanding of the structural controls gives us greater confidence in our ability to define additional mineralised zones and strategically advance the project going forward. As our 2025 diamond drilling campaign progresses, we remain focused on uncovering additional near-surface mineralization as we work to unlock the broader potential of Kossou.'
Article content
Drill hole KDD0077, completed on Jagger Section JZ650, was drilled to test the continuity of mineralisation between previously drilled in holes KRC006 and KRC007 ( see press release July 24, 2023). The hole successfully confirmed the predicted continuity of the Jagger Shear Zone and its associated gold-bearing structures. Notably, Jagger Structure 6 (' JS6 ') was intersected near the bottom of the hole, returned 5.0 m at 1.88 g/t Au, highlighting its potential as a significant but relatively underexplored gold-bearing shear zone. JS6 will be prioritized for additional drill testing in future phases. See Figure 2 for cross section JZ650. Detailed collar information and intercepts for all four holes are provided in Table 1.
Article content
Drill hole KDD0078, completed on section JZ625, demonstrated continuity of the Jagger Shear Zone and higher-grade mineralisation, similar to what has been observed in previous drilling. The hole is projected onto section JZ600 (see Figure 3), and demonstrates strike continuity of gold mineralisation across the zone. Importantly, KDD0078 also intersected significant mineralisation within JS6, returning 4.0 m at 2.39 g/t Au, reinforcing the structure's potential as a key mineralized target.
Article content
Drill hole KDD0079, completed on section JZ575, continued to demonstrate strong correlation between the overall Jagger Shear Zone and associated higher-grade gold mineralized intervals. Consistent with previous drilling, KDD0079 intersected JS6, returning a broad zone of 14.0 m grading 0.87 g/t Au.
Article content
Additional shear zones with anomalous gold values were encountered in all four diamond drill holes on the footwall side of JS6, suggesting potential for additional mineralised shear zones within the volcanic package approaching the first order Contact Fault Zone.
Article content
The gold mineralisation at Kossou is localized within a broad, north-south–trending and steeply west-dipping deformation corridor with an estimated width of approximately 200 m, consisting of anastomosing second- and third-order fault zones in close proximity to the first-order Contact Zone Fault that separates basaltic volcanics from volcano-sedimentary rocks.
Article content
The brittle-ductile shears and faults in the area serve as the primary structural controls on gold mineralization. The development of shears at the Jagger Zone is strongly influenced by lithological competency contrasts between basalt and diorite/quartz feldspar porphyry dykes within the volcanic package.
Article content
The main zone of shearing at the Jagger Zone occurs within an approximately 70-m wide corridor and is closely associated with the quartz feldspar porphyry and diorite intrusives within the basalts.
Article content
The primary vein types intersected in the drill core are V1 quartz veins and veinlets, which are parallel to the S1 foliation and are gold-bearing within the main shear zones. The dominant gold-bearing veins are V2A veins, which trend WNW to NW and are prominent within and in close proximity to the shears. A relatively minor set of sub-horizontal V2B veinlets and hairline fractures contains sporadic mineralization.
Article content
Recent drilling has shown that JS6, situated approximately 100 m in the footwall of the main Jagger Shear Zone, contains a consistent and laterally persistent shear zone, with all four of the latest diamond drill holes intersecting this structure.
Article content
The results of these four diamond drill holes demonstrate that gold intersections occurred where predicted, providing evidence of relatively good along-strike continuity within this part of the shear zone.
Article content
Drill hole KDD0076 was completed using an azimuth of 045° to test the effectiveness of the current drill orientation. In contrast, drill holes KDD0077 through KDD0079 were completed at the standard 070° azimuth. Results from this test confirm that the 070° orientation remains optimal for targeting the mineralized structures at Jagger, and that no adjustments to the current drilling pattern are necessary.
