Stellar AfricaGold commences auger drilling at Zuénoula permit

  Vancouver, BC – July 15, 2026 – TheNewswire - Stellar AfricaGold Inc. (“Stellar” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SPX, TGAT: 6YP and FSX: 6YP) is pleased to announce that a 10,000-meter auger drill program is now underway at the Stellar-MetalsGrove Joint Venture Zuénoula Gold Project, Cote d’Ivoire. Highlights Ongoing technical review and interpretation of recent infill soil sampling results have refined the exploration focus at the Zuénoula Permit to the area of six drill targets within three principal prospects: Fifty-Five, Central and South East.     These targets will be progressively refined through additional infill soil sampling and auger drilling before advancing to Aircore (AC), Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond Drilling (DD) programs anticipated to begin in late 2026     New 200m × 50m infill soil sampling results from the Fifty-Five Prospect have extended Drill Target T1 to a strike length of approximately 3.3km . The program also returned a new peak soil assay of 1,324ppb Au (1.324g/t Au) , further supporting the high prospectivity of the target area.     The 10,000-metre auger drilling program has commenced and will test the highest-priority gold anomalous cluster areas encompassing Drill Targets T1 and T3–T5 within the Fifty-Five and Central Prospects     The Auger drilling program has been designed to drill an average depth of approximately 5 metres , targeting the upper saprolite horizon to evaluate the bedrock potential beneath the surface soil gold anomalies.     A 200m X 50m infill soil sampling program is underway across Drill Target T6 within the South East Prospect , and a similar program is scheduled over Drill Target T2 in the northeastern extension of the Fifty-Five Prospect .
