[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 4, 2026) - Zodiac Gold Inc. (TSXV: ZAU) (OTCQB: ZAUIF) (FSE: K19) (\"Zodiac Gold\" or the \"Company\"), a West African gold exploration company, is pleased to announce the commencement of a high-resolution drone magnetic and LiDAR survey over its flagship 16km Arthington-Youth Camp trend (Map 1). This survey is a key step in advancing the Company's 2026 exploration program and unlocking district-scale potential at its Todi Gold Project. David Kol, President & CEO, commented: \"We've already made a discovery at Arthington, now we're scaling it. This program is about turning that discovery into a repeatable model across 16 kilometers. That's how you move from a single discovery to a district-scale gold system, and that's where real value is created. This survey will give us the data to target smarter, drill more efficiently, and accelerate resource growth.\" The Arthington discovery has already demonstrated exceptional consistency, with gold intersected in 37 of 39 drill holes. This survey is designed to identify the geophysical signature of that discovery and to search for zones with similar characteristics across the broader trend, significantly enhancing targeting and accelerating the conversion of exploration success into resource growth. By integrating high-resolution magnetics with LiDAR, Zodiac Gold will map the structural controls on mineralization, including key shears, faults, and lithological contacts, while generating a detailed digital terrain model to support both targeting and mineral resource estimation. The 47.8km² survey will be flown on northeast-southwest flight lines at 50m spacing by Axis Drone Surveys, with comprehensive data processing and interpretation to be completed by renowned geophysical consultants, Southern Geoscience Consultants (SGC). The interpretation will feed directly into the Company's ongoing 14,000m drill program, of which 2,343m has been completed in 13 holes, with geological logging showing encouraging signs along the southern gold-in-soil trend at Ben Ben. The survey is expected to improve drill precision, increase discovery rates, and support a planned mineral resource estimate in Q4 2026, positioning the Company to demonstrate scale and continuity across the 16km trend.
