PRESS RELEASE OCTOBER 3, 2024
Kobo Resources Intersects 7.0 Metres at 4.83 g/t Au in Strong Initial
Results at the Jagger Zone from Resumed 2024 Diamond Drilling
Program at its Kossou Gold Project
Jagger Zone continues to show strong potential for high-grade gold mineralization, with the
system remaining open at depth
QUEBEC CITY, QC – Kobo Resources Inc. ("Kobo” or the "Company") (TSX.V: KRI) is excited to report
the first results from its resumed 2024 diamond drilling program at the Company’s 100%-owned Kossou
Gold Project (“Kossou”), in Cote d’Ivoire, West Africa. The results confirm significant mineralization at the
Jagger Zone, including 7.0 metres (“m”) at 4.83 g/t Au, further expanding the high-grade potential of this
high prospective target.
• First results from resumed 2024 diamond drilling campaign at Kossou Gold Project
o 7.0 m at 4.83 g/t Au from 230.0 m, including 4.0 m at 7.84 g/t Au from 232.0 m and
o 6.0 m at 1.62* g/t Au from 291.0 m
• Jagger Zone continues to show strong potential for high-grade gold mineralization, with
the target remaining open at depth
Edward Gosselin, CEO and Director of Kobo commented: “The results from our initial hole of our resumed
2024 10,000 m diamond drilling campaign are very encouraging, intersecting 7.0 meters at 4.83 g/t Au at
the Jagger Zone, a highly prospective gold target at Kossou. This reinforces the significant potential of the
Jagger Zone, where mineralization remains open at depth.” He continued: “Our exploration program is
progressing as planned, and with several high-priority targets still to be tested, we are optimistic about
further expanding mineralization across our key gold target zones. These strong early results set a solid
foundation as we continue to unlock the value of Kossou for our shareholders.”
KDD0026 was drilled to test for the depth extension of gold mineralisation at the Jagger Zone on section
JZ700 beneath reverse circulation (“RC”) holes KRC008 and KRC009 (see press release dated July 24,
2023) and diamond drill holes KDD0001 – 19.0 m at 2.82 g/t Au, including 3.7 m at 11.82 g/t Au (see
press release dated April 30, 2024) and KDD0021 – 14.0 m at 2.90 g/t Au (see press release dated August
13, 2024). KDD0026 undercut KDD0021 by approximately 50 m and further delineated a broad zone of
sheared volcanics, showing moderate to strong silicification and accompanying sericite-chlorite-carbonate-
tourmaline alteration with disseminated pyrite and quartz/quartz-carbonate veins and veinlets. Within this
broad shear structure, key high-grade gold zones reported (see Table 1) correspond to the more intense
shearing and alternation. Several other zones of anomalous gold mineralisation were encountered down
hole correlating to zones of additional shearing and alteration.
The Jagger Shear has now been drilled to a depth of approximately 150 m below surface and remains open
to depth. Drilling continues at the site with holes planned to continue exploring the core of the Jagger Zone
at similar depths and to also test a 300 m gap in drilling south of section JZ700. Planned holes will also test
beneath RC holes drilled in 2023, including KRC015 that returned 6.0 m at 4.31 g/t Au and KRC020 that

returned 18.0 m at 0.60 g/t Au amongst others (see press release dated August 14, 2023) up to 500 m
south of the current drill section.

An accurate dip and strike and controls of mineralisation are unconfirmed at this time and the true width of
mineralisation are unconfirmed at this time. Drill holes are planned to intersect mineralised zones
perpendicular to interpreted targets. All intercepts reported are downhole distances.
Next Steps and 2024 Diamond Drill Program Details
The Company’s ongoing 10,000 m diamond drill program at Kossou will focus on key gold targets, including
the Jagger, Road Cut, and Kadie Zones, with the first ever diamond drilling being conducted at the Contact
Zone. The program aims to confirm and extend known mineralization, while testing new parallel structures
identified through previous work.

Sampling, QAQC, and Analytical Procedures
Drill core was logged and sampled by Kobo personnel at site. Drill cores were sawn in half, with one half
remaining in the core box and the other half secured into new plastic sample bags with sample number
tickets. Samples are transported to the SGS Côte d’Ivoire facility in Yamoussoukro by Kobo personnel
where the entire sample was prepared for analysis (prep code PRP86/PRP94). Sample splits of 50 grams
were then analysed for gold using 50g Fire Assay as per SGS Geochem Method FAA505 . QAQC
procedures for the drill program include insertion of a certificated standards every 20 samples, a blank
every 20 samples and a duplicate sample (split of the 1 m original sample) every 20 samples. All QAQC
control samples returned values within acceptable limits.

About Kobo Resources Inc.
Kobo Resources is a growth-focused gold exploration company with a compelling new gold discovery in Côte d'Ivoire,
one of West Africa’s most prolific and developing gold districts, hosting several multi-million-ounce gold mines. The
Company’s 100%-owned Kossou Gold Project is located approximately 20 km northwest of the capital city of
Yamoussoukro and is directly adjacent to one of the region’s largest gold mines with established processing facilities.
The Company is drilling to unlock the potential size and scale of Kossou within 9+ km strike length of highly prospective
gold in soil geochemical anomalies with excellent rock and trench sampling, as well as drill results. Significant gold
mineralisation has been identified at three main targets within a 300 m wide, 2+ km long, pervasively altered structural
corridor defining a potentially large orogenic gold system. In 2023, the Company completed approximately 5,900 meters
of reverse circulation (RC) drilling and 5,400 meters of trenching, alongside 4,368 meters of diamond drilling in 2024.
Moving forward, the Company plans to conduct an additional 10,000 meters of core diamond drilling during the
remainder of 2024 at key targets at the Kossou Gold Project. The Company also plans on additional exploration on its
Kotobi Permit and pending approval for over 600 km2 of prospective ground as part of its strategic efforts to expand its
footprint in Côte d'Ivoire.
