(TSXV: ZAU) (FSE: K19) (\"Zodiac Gold\" or the \"Company\"), a West African gold exploration company, is pleased to report new trenching results from the Ben Ben target at its flagship Todi Gold Project in Liberia. The Ben Ben target forms part of a 16-kilometre gold-in-soil anomaly along the Todi Shear Zone and is one of five priority targets being advanced within the project area.Zodiac Gold completed 345.8 metres (\"m\") of trenching at the Ben Ben target in 2025, including a standout result of 30m at 1.24 g/t Au (including 1m at 25.1 g/t Au and 1m at 6.61 g/t Au), and commenced a 3,600m trenching program along the Ben Ben to Youth Camp trend in February 2026. Results from the recently completed BBT005 returned an intercept of 32m at 0.56 g/t Au (including 14m at 1.08 g/t Au with a higher-grade interval of 1m at 9.4 g/t Au).Additional intersections in trenches BBT002, BBT003 and BBT005 include broad zones of lower-grade mineralization ranging from 0.21 to 0.31 g/t gold over widths of 13 to 36 metres, defining a coherent mineralized zone which can be traced for a distance of 225m between trenches and for a total of 500m along the soil anomaly to the artisanal mining pit to the southeast (Map 1). Zodiac Gold has commenced drilling to test the zone beneath BBT002 as part of Zodiac Gold's on-going drilling program at the Ben Ben target.
