(“Kobo” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: KRI) (FWB: Q1Z) is pleased to report diamond drill results from fourteen (14) additional holes completed at its 100%-owned Kossou Gold Project (“Kossou”) in Côte d’Ivoire. Six holes completed at the Road Cut Zone continued to extend and define gold mineralisation across multiple structures, including the Artisanal Shear, Main Road Cut Shear and Contact Zone Fault, with drilling providing further evidence that the mineralised system continues to the north. Eight additional holes tested shear and quartz-vein structures at the Kadie Zone, returning several high-grade gold intercepts.Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

The hole also intersected additional mineralisation proximal to the Contact Zone Fault, further strengthening our understanding of how these structures contribute to the broader Road Cut gold system.”He continued: “Separately, drilling farther north on sections RCZ000 and RCZ-200 is providing additional evidence that the Road Cut gold system continues beyond the areas we have drilled more extensively to date. These northern areas remain relatively lightly drilled and give our exploration team clear targets for follow-up as we continue testing the scale of the system.”KDD0191 Confirms Strong Continuity at the Artisanal Shear at the Road Cut ZoneDrill hole KDD0191 was completed on section RCZ500 (Figure 2) to test the up-dip extension of gold mineralisation associated with the Contact Zone Fault identified in KDD0170, which returned 8.0 m at 2.65 g/t Au from 355.0 m (see press release dated August 6, 2026). KDD0191 returned two intervals proximal to the Contact Zone Fault: 4.0 m at 2.05 g/t Au from 134.0 m, including 1.0 m at 7.17 g/t Au, and 2.0 m at 2.91 g/t Au from 156.0 m. These results confirm the presence of mineralisation associated with shearing and quartz veining along the structure.This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.KDD0191 was also designed to test continuity of the Artisanal Shear between KDD0012, which returned 11.0 m at 1.71 g/t Au (see press release dated July 11, 2024), and KDD0091, which returned 15.55 m at 2.30 g/t Au, including 8.30 m at 3.43 g/t Au, as previously reported on July 10, 2025. KDD0191 returned 19.0 m at 1.94 g/t Au from 67.0 m, including 14.20 m at 2.44 g/t Au and 9.0 m at 3.29 g/t Au, demonstrating strong continuity of gold mineralisation within the Artisanal Shear on this section. Further drilling is planned across the Main Road Cut Shear, Artisanal Shear and Contact Zone Fault, all of which remain open at depth.Figure 1: Road Cut Zone Simplified Geology Map with Diamond Drill Hole CollarsFigure 2: Road Cut Zone Simplified Section – RCZ500Contact Zone Fault Mineralisation Extended Farther NorthDrill hole KDD0188 was completed on section RCZ-200 to test for potential mineralisation along the Contact Zone Fault farther north, based on soil geochemistry and surface mapping (Figure 3). Previous drilling in KDD0153 did not successfully intersect the interpreted fault position. Based on updated geological information, KDD0188 was collared within the volcanic package and returned three separate zones of mineralisation, highlighted by 7.0 m at 1.28 g/t Au from 245.0 m directly associated with the Contact Zone Fault.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Two additional lower-grade intervals were intersected in the hanging wall of the Contact Zone Fault, returning 4.85 m at 0.45 g/t Au from 218.0 m and 5.0 m at 0.40 g/t Au from 228.0 m. These results confirm the presence of the mineralised system at depth on this section. Further drilling is planned to test the continuity of mineralisation along the structure in this area and up-dip and down-dip of the current results.Figure 3: Road Cut Zone Simplified Section – RCZ200Drilling Confirms Road Cut Shear System Continues NorthTwo holes were completed on section RCZ000 to test the extension of the shear systems and gold mineralisation north of the main drilling completed to date at the Road Cut Zone (Figure 1). KDD0182 returned the strongest intercept of 6.0 m at 1.17 g/t Au from 36.0 m, interpreted to be associated with the structures parallel to the Road Cut Main shear system. Additional mineralised intervals included 3.0 m at 1.06 g/t Au from 156.0 m and 3.0 m at 1.22 g/t Au from 175.0 m appear to be related to the Road Cut Main shear system.KDD0186 was completed below KDD0182 and intersected several narrow, weak-to-moderate grade zones, including 2.0 m at 2.17 g/t Au from 164.0 m, 3.0 m at 1.03 g/t Au from 186.0 m and 1.0 m at 1.47 g/t Au from 292.0 m associated with the Contact Zone Fault. These holes provide further evidence that the shear system continues north. The approximately 200 m gap between sections RCZ-200 and RCZ000 remains a target for future drilling.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Kadie Drilling Returns Additional High-Grade Gold InterceptsEight drill holes were completed at the Kadie Zone to test multiple shear and quartz-vein structures. Significant results include 9.0 m at 2.44 g/t Au from 62.0 m, including 2.0 m at 9.78 g/t Au, in KDD0192 on section KZ275; 2.0 m at 9.26 g/t Au from 213.0 m in KDD0185 on section KZ250; and 2.20 m at 3.91 g/t Au from 62.0 m in KDD0189 on section KZ400.Most of these intercepts are associated with high-grade quartz-carbonate veins hosted within weakly foliated to unfoliated volcanic rocks. Additional work is required to further define the distribution and continuity of these shear and vein structures. Kobo has completed approximately 4,400 m across 25 drill holes at the Kadie Zone to date.Figure 4: Kadie Zone Simplified Geology Map with Diamond Drill Hole CollarsTable 1: Summary of Significant Diamond Drill Hole ResultsBHIDEastNorthElev.Az.DipLengthFrom (m)To (m)Int.

Drill holes are planned to intersect mineralised zones perpendicular to interpreted targets. All intercepts reported are downhole distances, true widths are unknown.Sampling, QA/QC, and Analytical ProceduresDrill core was logged and sampled by Kobo personnel at site. Drill cores were sawn in half, with one half remaining in the core box and the other half secured into new plastic sample bags with sample number tickets. Core samples are drilled using HQ core barrels to below the level of oxidation and then reduced to NQ core barrels for the remainder of the bore hole. Samples are transported to the SGS Côte d’Ivoire facility in Yamoussoukro by Kobo personnel where the entire sample was prepared for analysis (prep code PRP86/PRP94). Sample splits of 50 grams were then analysed for gold using 50g Fire Assay as per SGS Geochem Method FAA505. QA/QC procedures for the drill program include insertion of a certificated standards every 20 samples, a blank every 20 samples and a duplicate sample every 20 samples. All QAQC control samples returned values within acceptable limits.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Review of Technical InformationThe scientific and technical information in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Paul Sarjeant, P.Geo., who is a Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101.
