Stellar AfricaGold finalizes 5,000-metre Phase II drill program at Tichka Est
Vancouver, BC – August 11, 2026 – TheNewswire - Stellar AfricaGold Inc. (TSXV: SPX) ("Stellar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that hole-by-hole targeting has been finalized for the fully funded 5,000-metre Phase II diamond drill program at its Tichka Est Gold Project, Morocco. ( See news release March 3, 2026 .) Drill targeting is the direct outcome of an integrated technical program completed during the first half of 2026. The Company also reports the assay results for the concluding holes of its Phase I drill campaign.
Highlights
Phase II drill program finalized at 24 diamond drill holes totalling approximately 5,000 metres across Zone B (10 holes / 1,995 meters See Figure 1 below), Zone C (9 holes / 2,055 meters) and a new target area together with regional targets (5 holes / 950 meters). This program is fully funded.
Additional drill holes including structural tests along the Arg-Erdouz corridor and new dyke zone are secondary targets held in abeyance to be added promptly if initial drilling confirms mineralization.
Phase II targeting integrated three independent datasets completed in the first half of 2026: a high-resolution satellite remote-sensing study (Viridien), a 90-sample pathfinder lithogeochemical survey, and a structural review and 3D litho-structural model (Arethuse Geology).
The Phase I drill program was completed at 11 diamond drill holes totalling 1,579.0 metres all within Zone B. Assays from the last holes include 0.2 meters grading 18.03 g/t Au at the bottom of hole TCK-010, abandoned at 30.2 metres for technical reasons while still in mineralization , and 3 meters grading 1.76 g/t Au in hole TCK-008, extending mineralization to the southwest of the main Zone B drill area.
