QUEBEC CITY--(
BUSINESS WIRE
)--Kobo Resources Inc. (“
Kobo”
or the “
Company
”) (TSX.V: KRI) is pleased to announce
strong gold results from trenching at the Road Cut Zone as part of the ongoing exploration work at its 100%-owned Kossou
Gold Project (“
Kossou
”). Additionally, the Company has received initial results of its structural study undertaken by Dr. Ghislain
Tourigny, which has provided greater insight into the structural domains and controls on mineralisation across the primary area of
interest from the Road Cut Zone south to the Jagger Zone at Kossou.
Edward Gosselin, CEO and Director of Kobo commented:
“These
exceptional gold results from recent trenching at the Road Cut Zone
confirm our previous sampling work at this target and continue to validate
our ongoing exploration strategy at Kossou. Mineralization has been
confirmed along the entire length of the Road Cut Zone, south of hole
KRC044 and north of hole KRC022, which supports our belief that the gap
that exists between these intersections should be drilled. Additionally, the
impressive results from the Road Cut Zone were intersected just east of
the road, an area which remains largely underexplored. As such, the
Company intends to prioritize drilling of this anomaly as part of our future
exploration work.
”
Strong Gold Results from Trenching at the Road Cut Zone
KTR049: 33 metres (“m”) at 4.68 g/t Au, including 11 m @ 9.37 g/t Au and a separate zone of 5 m at 12.51 g/t Au
KTR059: 47 m at 3.92 g/t Au, including 21 m at 4.70 g/t Au and 3 m at 12.12 g/t Au
Significant trenching and channel sampling has been competed at the Road Cut Zone with results confirming a unique style of
mineralisation with strong gold values at this target. The Road Cut Zone was exposed along the access road that bisects the
northern portion of the property and a diamond blade portable rock saw was used to recover channel samples for analysis.
Trenching has returned two very significant results in the northern area of the target: trench KTR049 has returned 33 m at 4.68 g/t
Au, including 11 m at 9.37 g/t Au with a separate zone of 5 m at 12.51 g/t Au and KTR059 has returned 47 m at 3.92 g/t Au,
including 21 m at 4.70 g/t Au and 3 m at 12.12 g/t Au.
On going exploration work supports previous results from the Company’s initial discovery in 2016 where sampling returned 18.2
m at 4.64 g/t Au. Further sampling to the south has confirmed mineralisation occurs over
a distance of 450
m
at the Road Cut
Zone. Trench KTR053 has returned 8 m at 1.73 g/t Au, including 4 m at 3.13 g/t Au and 2 m at 5.31 g/t Au, with trench KTR054
returning 8 m at 2.82 g/t Au, including 6 m at 3.69 g/t Au, both located at the southern end of the road exposure (see Figure 1
and Table 1 for detailed results). These findings provide confirmation that there is a gold in soil anomaly under overburden east of
the road, which remains largely unexplored. Additionally, these results are further supported by initial drill results at the Road Cut
Zone (
see press release August 14, 2023
).
Structural Study Provides Greater Insight into the Structural Domains and Controls at Kossou
The Company has received initial results from a structural study performed by its structural geology consultant, Dr. Ghislain
Tourigny. Based on recent detailed structural mapping and sampling at the Road Cut Zone
, the study indicates that the system
contains two styles of gold mineralisation including 1) a replacement style composed of disseminated sulphides and
carbonates in highly silicified basalts and 2) late quartz-carbonate veins that obliquely crosscut the silicified
mineralisation. Significant gold occurs within both style of mineralisation.
Gold mineralisation occurring at the Road Cut
Zone, Jagger Zone, Kadie Zone and
key observations have defined a broad anastomosing fault network developed in the
structural hanging wall of a crustal scale first order fault defined as the Contact Zone Fault.
The proximity of the Road
Cut Zone to the Contact Zone Fault, which has been identified as a significant first order structure and is likely a deeply
seated discontinuity that may have channelled gold bearing fluids during the progressive structural history of the area,
provides an exciting exploration target at Kossou.
Dr. Ghislain Tourigny, Kobo’s Structural Geology Consultant, commented,
“It is important to note that significant gold
mineralisation occurs in both styles of mineralisation. The diverse nature and styles of gold mineralization at the Road
Cut Zone open new perspectives for gold exploration at Kossou.”
Additional insights from the structural study show that gold mineralisation at Kossou has been identified within a well-defined
NNW to NS striking corridor approximately 300 m in width and greater than 2 kilometre (“
km
”) in length and extends from the
Road Cut Zone south to the Jagger Zone and Kadie Zone.
This deformation corridor is pervasively altered which implies the
existence of a significant mesothermal system and remains open to the north, south and to depth. The pervasive
replacement style of gold mineralisation identified at the Road Cut Zone is a unique style in the belt and provides new
perspectives for gold exploration on the property moving forward.
A number of recommendations have been put forth, including additional trenching targets at the Jagger Zone and Kadie Zone,
with detailed mapping and sampling at the previously identified Shadow Zone and Kilo Zone.
The Contact Zone Fault has also
been identified as a potential key target based on significant and pervasive alteration in the hanging wall of this
structure.
