Zodiac Gold Commences Trenching at the Ben Ben TargetVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 29, 2025) - Zodiac Gold Inc. (TSXV: ZAU) ("Zodiac Gold" or the "Company"), a West- African gold exploration company, is pleased to announce that it has commenced an initial 500m trenching program at the Ben Ben target, with potential for extension dependent on results. Alongside the trenching program, the Company will complete detailed geological mapping and channel sampling in artisanal pits, which will help to plan the first drilling program at Ben Ben.David Kol, CEO of Zodiac Gold, commented: "Launching the trenching program at Ben Ben marks an important milestone for Zodiac Gold as we advance exploration across the highly prospective Todi Shear Zone. With encouraging high-grade gold values already identified at surface, this next phase of work is a critical step toward our first drill program at Ben Ben. Building on the success at Arthington, we are confident in the potential to define a new zone of mineralization and unlock further value for shareholders."Ben Ben is one of five priority targets in the Todi Project and is part of a 16km gold-in-soil anomaly on the Todi Shear Zone in Liberia. Ben Ben is considered to be the eastern extension of the Arthington target where the Company has reported significant mineralization in 30 of 32 holes drilled, including 9.65m at 7.50 g/t Au (including 3m at 20.36 g/t Au), 6m at 10.60 g/t Au (including 3m at 20.45 g/t Au) and 25.9m at 2.1 g/t Au (including 9.14m at 4.2 g/t Au). Highlighted results of previous channel sampling in the main pit at Ben Ben (Map 1) are shown below:0.65m at 53.60 g/t Au.0.44m at 71 g/t Au.1.75m at 6.23 g/t Au (including 0.7m at 15.06 g/t Au).2.50m at 2.58 g/t Au (including 1.25m at 4.21 g/t Au).0.87m at 6.38 g/t Au.2.95m at 1.80 g/t Au (including 0.52m at 5.44 g/t Au).Map 1: Gold-in-soil anomaly at the Ben Ben target with trench locations and artisanal workingsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7932/253758_3aec0f4e541eb806_001full.jpgThe Arthington target, where the Company is currently drilling a 2,000m program, consists of a sheared amphibolite and melanocratic gneiss package, which hosts gold mineralized zones dipping to the southwest.
