This work will focus on soil anomalies exceeding 50-100ppb Au and is designed to refine drill targets ahead of the Company's inaugural drilling program at Ben Ben, scheduled to begin in February 2026. The trenches will be thoroughly mapped by the Company's geological team, and samples will be taken at 1m intervals. Samples will be analyzed at an internationally accredited laboratory, with results being announced at regular intervals throughout the program.David Kol, CEO of Zodiac Gold, commented: \"The launch of follow-up trenching at Ben Ben represents a key milestone in our 2026 exploration strategy. The work advances our efforts along the highly prospective 16km gold-in-soil anomaly extending from Arthington to Youth Camp (Map 1). Following our success at Arthington, where 37 of 39 drill holes intersected significant gold mineralization, we are excited to advance our exploration just 1.3km to the east-southeast at the Ben Ben target, with the aim of demonstrating strong continuity along this extensive anomalous trend.\"Map 1: 16km gold-in-soil anomaly with trench locationsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7932/282630_8a943e46b4da1aa6_001full.jpgSurface Sample Results Support Strong PotentialThe Ben Ben target comprises two principal artisanal mining pits 800 metres apart.
