Zodiac Gold Intersects Broad Gold Mineralized Zone; Commences Drilling at Ben Ben North
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 26, 2026) - Zodiac Gold Inc. (TSXV: ZAU) (OTCQB: ZAUIF) (FSE: K19) ("Zodiac Gold" or the "Company"), a West African gold exploration company, is pleased to report positive trenching results that confirm a new priority drill target in its ongoing exploration of the Ben Ben to Youth Camp area at its flagship Todi Gold Project in Liberia. Trenching Highlights: The Company has now successfully delineated a high-priority 700m long and up to 56m wide northwest-trending zone on the Ben Ben North area (Map 1) with potential for extension in both directions as demonstrated in other trenches. Following the return of broad intercepts from trenching—including a standout 56m at 0.40 g/t Au with multiple samples above 1g/t Au—Zodiac Gold has immediately mobilized a drill rig to test this target at depth: Trench BBT004: 56m at 0.40 g/t Au, including 1m at 1.21 g/t Au, 1m at 1.17 g/t Au, 1m at 1.09 g/t Au and 1m at 1.01 g/t Au (announced on April 20, 2026).
Trench BBT009: 54m at 0.20 g/t Au. Trench BBT010: 26m at 0.28 g/t Au, including 1m at 1.59 g/t Au, and 6m at 0.28 g/t Au. Trench BBT012: 21m at 0.26 g/t Au and 30m at 0.22 g/t Au.
The broad mineralized zones identified across previously untested gold-in-soil anomalies substantially enhance the potential for a district-scale gold system along the 16km Arthington to Youth Camp areas, (now referenced as the "Monterra Trend") which already includes the Arthington discovery where 37 of 39 holes drilled intersected gold. Importantly, the trenching results at Ben Ben North are characterized not only by the presence of gold, but by the continuity and scale of the mineralized zones encountered. These wide, continuous zones of mineralization at surface, with higher-grade intervals, are considered highly encouraging at this early stage of exploration because they could represent the upper expression of higher-grade, robust, hydrothermal mineralized system at depth.
