Pelangio Exploration Commissions a Deep-Penetrating
CSEM Survey for the Obuasi and Manfo Projects, Ghana
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 27, 2026) - Pelangio Exploration Inc. (TSXV: PX) (OTC Pink:
PGXPF) ("Pelangio" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that a controlled-source electromagnetic
("CSEM") survey has been commissioned for the Obuasi and Manfo projects to be conducted by SEMS
Exploration Services of Ghana.
CSEM surveys will be conducted on Pelangio's Obuasi and Manfo projects to delineate targets up
to 1+ kilometre depth below prospective exploration target areas.
On Pelangio's Obuasi project, the survey will be conducted in tandem with an AngloGold Ashanti
survey on the Obuasi mine property. Pelangio's portion of the two surveys will cover Pelangio's
Obuasi Targets Area interpreted to be on strike with the Obuasi Mine's Main Au Trend. AngloGold
Ashanti's survey covers the north-northeastern extension of their Main Au Trend, within the Obuasi
Mine property.
The survey is intended to search for conductive and resistive targets at depths of up to 1+
kilometer which could represent repetitions of the large, high-grade Obuasi ore shoots extending
to the north-northeast. The northernmost known ore shoot at the Obuasi mine, the 'Far North
Shoot' (AKA Adansi Shoot), sits approximately 4.2 kilometers south-southwest of Pelangio's
property boundary at a depth of 700+ meters.
The CSEM survey on the Manfo property will follow the Obuasi surveys and will explore for deep
targets below (down-dip and down-plunge of) the Pokukrom East and West deposits.
CSEM (Controlled Source Electromagnetic Survey) Details
Pelangio Exploration has commissioned SEMS Exploration Services of Ghana to conduct CSEM surveys
on their Obuasi and Manfo projects to explore for mineral targets at depths up to 1 kilometre or more.
Controlled source electromagnetics is an active EM method where an electromagnetic signal is 'injected'
into the ground with the response measured at multiple stations in a grid array. The SEMS survey will
employ an IRIS Instruments TIP 12000 transmitter powered by a 20kVA generator to create the EM signal
with the subsurface response read by two Metronics Magneto-Telluric (MT) grade receiver units working
on a 170-meter grid node spacing.
The CSEM method is eƯective at detecting conductive features and mapping resistive bodies at shallow
to intermediate depths (up to several km) and could be eƯective at resolving Obuasi-style mineralization
(conductive sulphide ore and resistive gold-bearing quartz lodes) comfortably to a depth of 1 kilometre or
more. The Magneto-Telluric (MT) method in comparison, which is a passive EM method, is a much
broader frequency survey enabling deep imaging (to tens of kilometres), although at a considerably lower
resolution than CSEM can provide and requiring much longer survey times.
Pelangio's Obuasi survey will cover the 'Obuasi Targets Area' on the western edge of the property,
interpreted to be on strike with the Obuasi Mine's Main Au Trend. See Figure 1. The survey will cover an
area of 9.2km² with 295 170-meter spaced stations. AngloGold Ashanti will conduct a parallel CSEM
survey extending Pelangio's survey into their mine property with 333 stations over an area of 10.4 km².
While SEMS will be conducting the survey over both properties, the surveys are independent of one
another and a possible data-sharing agreement has not been discussed.
The northernmost known (from public information) orebody on the Main Au Trend at the Obuasi Mine is
the 'Far North' ore shoot, also referred to as the Adansi ore shoot in some literature. Refer to AngloGold
Ashanti's Obuasi Underground Analyst Site Visit presentation posted on their website on March 17, 2025.
The Far North ore shoot is situated approximately 4.2 kilometre's south-southwest of Pelangio's property
boundary at a depth of 700+ meters. It is believed that if there is a repetition of the Obuasi Mine ore
shoots to the north and into Pelangio's property, it may be at depths comparable to the Far North ore
shoot as there is little evidence of large-scale near-surface mineralization observed in the soil
geochemistry and historical diamond drilling on Pelangio's ground.
The Obuasi CSEM surveys are tentatively planned to commence in mid-April once the equipment is
mobilized from Sweden and will require approximately two months to complete if the weather is mostly
favourable. Another month will be required for 3D inversion modelling of the data plus reporting with
recommendations.
Following the Obuasi surveys, a smaller CSEM survey is planned for the Manfo project covering the area
of the Pokukrom deposits plus the possible down-plunge extensions to the northeast. An area of 2.8 km²
will be surveyed with 100 EM stations. The survey is not targeting as deep as at Obuasi but is intended to
explore for mineralization deeper than the current drill program is planning to test.
Manfo Drilling Update
Resource extensional diamond drilling continues on the Manfo project focussed on the Pokukrom
deposits. Three holes of the 15-hole, 3,150-meter program are nearly complete. There are no assays to
report as yet.
