Zodiac Gold intersects 3.15 g/t Au over 58 m at Lewis North

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 15, 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 exceptional results from additional trenching at the Lewis North target, part of the Company's 16-kilometre Monterra Trend at its flagship Todi Gold Project in Liberia. Trench LWT003 returned 58 metres at 3.15 g/t Au , including 11 metres at 15.40 g/t Au, with a 1 metre sample at 158 g/t Au . The result represents the strongest combination of width and grade reported to date from the Lewis target and materially advances the Company's understanding of the emerging 1.8-kilometre anomalous trend. Importantly, LWT003 is located approximately 310 metres ("m") west of LWT001 (Map 1), extending mineralized zones interpreted from trenching along strike and providing further evidence of a laterally extensive mineralized system.

Highlights:

Exceptional Width and Grade at Lewis North: LWT003 intersected 58m at 3.15 g/t Au, including 11m at 15.40 g/t Au, with a 1m sample at 158 g/t Au. The broad mineralized interval, together with the substantial higher-grade internal zone, advances the understanding of Lewis North and establishes a new priority target for follow-up drilling.

High-Grade Gold Hosted Within Favourable Banded Iron Formation: The 11m interval grading 15.40 g/t Au, including 1m at 158 g/t Au, occurs within weathered banded iron formation ("BIF"). The presence of exceptionally high-grade gold within this favourable reactive host represents a telling geological vector for ongoing exploration and drill targeting. The wider mineralized zone also extends into amphibolite, a recurring host of gold mineralization elsewhere along the Monterra Trend.
