Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – March 24, 2025) – Zodiac Gold Inc. (TSXV: ZAU) (“Zodiac Gold” or the “Company”), a West-African gold exploration company, is pleased to announce the successful mobilization of a diamond drill rig to its Arthington Target on the Todi gold project. The Company is now set to commence its highly anticipated Phase III infill drilling program.
“With the mobilization now complete, we are eager to commence Phase III drilling and build upon the strong results from our previous exploration campaigns,” said David Kol, President & CEO of Zodiac Gold. “The Arthington target has consistently demonstrated the potential for significant gold mineralization, and this next phase of drilling is an important step toward unlocking its full value. We are dedicated to advancing this project efficiently and responsibly, with a view to maximizing shareholder value while maintaining our commitment to environmental and social responsibility.”
Following the success of its Phase I and II drilling campaigns at the Arthington target, the Company has planned additional diamond drilling of up to 3,000m to further define and expand the interpreted mineralized zones, which include high-grade gold intersections. To date, the Company has completed a total of 5,557 meters of drilling at Arthington, with significant intersections reported in 30 of 32 holes, including:
7.50 g/t Au over 9.65m from a depth of 87.35m (including 20.36 g/t Au over 3m).
10.60 g/t Au over 6m from a depth of 55m (including 20.45 g/t Au over 3m).
2.10 g/t Au over 25.90m from a depth of 93.30m (including 4.20 g/t Au over 9.14m).
4.67 g/t Au over 5.65m from a depth of 10.25m (including 11.70 g/t Au over 2m).
1.10 g/t Au over 17m from a depth of 60m (including 3.07 g/t Au over 1m and 2.47 g/t Au over 3m).1
The Phase III drilling program will focus on infill drilling, improving the understanding of the deposit and controls on mineralization, and testing extensions of known mineralized zones. The Company’s extensive geological mapping and sampling support the strong prospectivity of the Todi land package.
