Stellar Africagold Completes Stream Sediment Sampling of New Permits Adjacent to Tichka EST Project IN Morocco and Identifies GOLD, Silver, Copper, Lead and Zinc Anomalies
STELLAR AFRICAGOLD COMPLETES STREAM SEDIMENT SAMPLING OF NEW PERMITS ADJACENT TO TICHKA
EST PROJECT IN MOROCCO AND IDENTIFIES GOLD, SILVER, COPPER, LEAD AND ZINC ANOMALIES
Montreal, February 8, 2022– Stellar AfricaGold Inc., (TSX-V: SPX, OTCQB: STLXF, FSE: 6YP1) ("Stellar" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce the positive results of the recently completed stream sediments sampling
program covering 100% of Permits 3738988 and 3738989 which the Moroccan Office Nationale des
Hydrocarbures et des Mines (“ONHYM”) recently included in the Tichka Est Project exploration agreement (see
News release January 11, 2022). The two permits, which cover 28 km2, are to the North and East of Permit 183369
which hosts gold structures A and B previously announced. See Figure 1 below.
Commentary
“I am excited about the results for the recent stream sediments sampling program” said Stellar President François
Lalonde. “The discovery of seven anomalous mineralized zones containing gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc is
extremely encouraging for future exploration at Tichka Est especially after factoring in Stellar’s previous gold
discovery zones on permits contiguous to these. Stellar continues to actively explore these permits and results
will be announced when available.”
Stream Sediments Results
The stream sampling program which was conducted by Atlas GéoServices of Marrakech, Morocco revealed seven
zones of anomalous mineralization including both precious and base metals . The seven anomalous zones
included combinations of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc and each zone includes from two to five minerals
except Zone 7 which is purely a silver anomaly.
To summarize the stream sampling program identified:
• 6 zones anomalous for gold (Au) (see Figure 2 below)
• 5 zones anomalous for silver (Ag) (see Figure 3 below)
• 2 zones anomalous for copper (Cu) (see Figure 4 below)
• 3 zones anomalous lead (Pb) (see Figure 5 below)
• 3 zones anomalous zinc (Zn) (see Figure 6 below)
In conclusion, Stellar is very encouraged with the results of this program. The discovery of strong anomalous
zones of both precious metals (gold and silver) and base metals (copper, lead and zinc) warrants immediate
follow-up exploration. Stellar’s technical crew is on site searching for up -stream surface occurrences of new
mineralized structures which will add to structures A and B already identified at surface with gold mineralization
in trenches over an aggregate strike length of over 1,200 metres. All new identified surface areas of interest will
be sampled and trenched and the data included in the planning of upcoming drilling programs.

Methodology, technical information and quality control notes
Stellar mandated Atlas GéoServices of Marrakech, Morocco, to design and complete an extensive stream
sediments sampling programs on two new permits which appear to share geology similar to the permits hosting
discovery structures A and B.
The stream sediments sampling program consisted of first tracing the drainage network of the area on a Google
earth image and then systematically sampling the main watercourses as well as the primary tributaries. The
objective was to locate gold and base metals anomalies in the fine sediments in the beds of the streams and
tributaries to better focus further prospecting upstream and locate the source of any in situ precious and base
metals.
A total of 140 samples were taken in the active beds of major streams and their primary tributaries. Each sample
was screened on site to remove large fraction material and smaller fraction materials were bagged for assay and
sent to the African Laboratory for Mining and Environment (“Afrilab”) in Marrakech, Morocco, where samples
were crushed and screened to -125 microns for Fire Assay for gold and ICP analysis for base metals.
Sample collection was conducted by two experienced senior geologists of Atlas GéoServices under the
supervision of Yassine Belkabir, Stellar’s Director in Morocco, and Dr. Ali Saquaque, Stellar’s Technical Advisor
for Africa. The samples were bagged on- site and stored in safe areas until being transported to Afrilab in
Marrakech for analysis.
In addition to the 140 samples and for the purpose of quality control, 24 extra samples were added to the
batch, 8 standards, 8 duplicates and 8 blanks samples. Two standard grades were used in this case. All
standards analysis results fall within the tolerance range of the original samples. The duplicates all show the
reliability of the analysis. The blank sample values were all below the detection limit for gold.
About Tichka Est Project
The Tichka Est gold project, comprising seven permits aggregating 82 square kilometres, is in the High Atlas
Mountain region of Morocco approximately 80 kilometres south -southwest of Marrakech, a region easily
accessible year-round via national and regional roads to the village of Analghi located near the mineralized gold
zone. Follow up on gold sampling results reported by ONHYM lead Stellar to the discovery of 2 extensive gold
mineralized structures A and B.
