[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 20, 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 additional results from the on-going trenching program along the Ben Ben to Youth Camp trend at its flagship Todi Gold Project in Liberia. The Ben Ben target, located 1.3km along strike from the Company's Arthington Discovery, lies within a 16km gold-in-soil corridor extending from Arthington to Youth Camp. Following the Company's success at the Arthington Discovery, the Ben Ben–to–Youth Camp portion of the trend is now being tested through a 3,600m trenching program and up to 14,000 m of drilling, advancing toward a mineral resource estimate in Q4 2026. Results have been received from 860m of trenching, while core logging, sampling, preparation and analysis is on-going for the first nine holes drilled. Exploration at the Ben Ben target continues to demonstrate the compelling geological characteristics of the 16km Arthington to Youth Camp trend, consistent with a district-scale, shear-hosted gold system within the broader Todi Shear Zone. Previous exploration by Zodiac Gold at the Arthington Discovery demonstrated the presence of multiple parallel mineralized zones and, importantly, trenching at Ben Ben has now confirmed gold mineralization across both interpreted east-west to northwest-southeast trends. The southern trend, which has been the focus of exploration by Zodiac Gold to date, has a strike length of 1km, while the northern trend extends over 7.5km to the Youth Camp target to the southeast. Notably, the lithologies identified in the mineralized zones on both the northern and southern trends are interpreted as weathered amphibolite and melanocratic gneiss; the same hosts of gold mineralization as at the Company's Arthington Discovery and other priority targets including Youth Camp and Alasala. In addition to the lithological control on mineralization, the northwest trending, regional-scale Todi Shear Zone, formed during the Pan African Orogeny, along with second order structures, structural intersections and folding, are interpreted to play an important role in the localization of gold mineralization in the region.
