Stellar Africagold Starts Work at Tichka EST GOLD Project, Morocco

Corporate Updates

STELLAR AFRICAGOLD STARTS WORK AT TICHKA EST GOLD PROJECT, MOROCCO

Vancouver, British Columbia – April 16, 2025 – Stellar AfricaGold Inc. (TSX-V: SPX) ("Stellar" or the

"Company") announces that work has started at the Tichka Est Gold Project in Morocco.

Tichka Est 2025 Exploration Program

The Company has launched its 2025 exploration program at its Tichka Est Gold Project in the High Atlas

Mountain region of Morocco. The first step in the 2025 program is rehabilitating the access road that

was damaged in the 2024 earthquake in Morocco. The access road winds for 8.5 kilometer s from

Analghi village at the 1,890-meter level to the Zone B gold discovery zone at 2,500 meters elevation. A

contractor has been engaged, its heavy equipment has been mobilized, and the rehabilitation work has

commenced.

The Zone B gold discovery is a N80° trending gold structure extending for over two kilometers along

strike. It lies along a highly sheared contact of limestone and schist that is injected by quartz -ankerite-

calcite veins and veinlets with traces of pyrite, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite.

Following completion of the access road rehabilitation the Company will initiate a mechanical trenching

campaign to follow up on previous trenching at Zone B which yielded 3.5 g/t Au over 155.7 meters .1

Among other targets, the trenching campaign is designed to cut across a diorite sill intrusion that was

mapped previously and the shear zone identified in previous exploration campaigns. This trenching

program is anticipated to take approximately three months to complete.

A similar campaign in 2023 uncovered an important gold anomaly and the current trenching campaign

will target the projected expansion of the same gold-bearing structure. All sampling will be conducted

according to industry standards and sent to Afrilab for assays.

About the Tichka Est Zone B Gold Discovery

The identified Zone B structures are within an approximately 1 km2 area of the 82 km2 total area of the

Tichka Est Gold Project. To date, Stellar has built an 8.5-kilometer mountain access road and conducted

extensive mapping, sampling and trenching focussing on the regions in and around Zone B. Thus far

three significant zones of gold mineralization have been discovered with much of the overall Tichka Est

project area still unexplored or only superficially examined.

At the Zone B several programs of mechanical and hand trenches delivered a series of impressive assay

results including trenches MT1 3.5 g/t gold over 155.7 meters1, MT2 1.52 g/t gold over 39.7 meters

and 1.58 g/t Au over 8.6 meters 4, MT3 1.27 g/t gold over 80 meters 4, T7B 3.4 g/t gold over 20

meters3, T6B 3.4 g/t gold over 17 meters 3, and T2B 4.56 g/t gold over 15 meters2. Zone B is the

primary exploration target for 2025 although Stellar will continue reconnaissance exploration throughout

the Tichka Est Gold Project permits area.
