[{"type":"text","content":"QUEBEC CITY / Jul 04, 2023 / Business Wire / Kobo Resources Inc. (\"Kobo” or the \"Company\") (TSX.V: KRI) is pleased to announce it has commenced its first-phase drill program at the Company’s 100%-owned Kossou Gold Project (“Kossou”) in Cote d’Ivoire, one of West Africa’s most prolific gold districts. A total of 8,000 metres (\"m\") of reverse circulation (\"RC\") drilling is planned this year which will be conducted in two phases. The drilling will initially target three priority zones, the Jagger Zone, the Road Cut Zone and the Contact Zone (Figure 1) based on the previously reported high-grade gold mineralization intersected in rock and trench samples. The first phase program will consist of 45 inclined boreholes ranging between 50 m and 230 m depth totalling 4,250 m. A total of 23 holes will be completed at Jagger (2,650 m), 10 holes at the Road Cut Zone (1,000 m), and 12 holes (600 m) in the Contact Zone. The second phase RC drilling totalling 3,750 m will be completed after a short pause in drilling in order to evaluate the results from Phase 1 and to plan the construction of additional drill platforms at the Jagger South Zone and at other targets generated by the Company. Edward Gosselin, CEO and Director of Kobo commented: “With the completion of the road access and drill platforms, we are pleased to have started our maiden drill program at the Kossou Gold Project with the immediate objective of defining the strike and down-dip extensions of the gold mineralization identified on surface. The recently reported high-grade intersection averaging 29 m at 6.42 g/t Au in trench KTR028 at Jagger Zone represents our primary target, and we look forward to delineating a significant gold bearing shear structure in this area.” He continued: “The Road Cut Zone and Contact Zone remain highly prospective targets at Kossou with significant potential for additional gold bearing structures to be discovered. As part of our ongoing exploration program, we are currently completing regional and detailed geological mapping and geochemical sampling programs across several new target areas.” Jagger Zone: Primary Target for 2023 Exploration Program Following Recent Trench Results The Jagger Zone is represented by a major, well-defined north-south trending shear zone which is defined by the largest and strongest soil geochemical anomaly discover...
