Stellar AfricaGold – Tichka Est Gold Project Momentum Builds as
Technical Program Advances;
High-Grade Rock Sample of 218.15 g/t Au Returned Between Zones A and B
Vancouver, British Columbia – April 23, 2025 – Stellar AfricaGold Inc. (TSX-V: SPX | FSE: 6YP | TGAT: 6YP)
(“Stellar” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing technical work program at the
Tichka Est Gold Project in Morocco. The Company is pursuing a fully integrated, multi-disciplinary exploration
program aimed at refining drill targeting and advancing geological understanding of the three priority
exploration areas identified to date, namely zones A, B and C.
The Company also reports the identification of a high-grade rock sample returning 218.33 g/t Au, collected
from a system of discontinuous quartz veins located between Zones A and B.
Highlights
• Integrated technical program underway combining 3D geological modelling, structural analysis,
remote sensing, and geochemistry.
• Drone topographic survey to improve the accuracy of 3D model and planning of the upcoming drill
campaign.
• Viridien Group (UK) engaged to deliver advanced hyperspectral and remote sensing interpretation.
• Arethuse Geology (France) appointed to lead structural analysis and support development of the
3D geological model.
• Strategic collaboration with Mohammed VI Polytechnic University ( “UM6P”) for core scanning,
analytical workflows, and advanced geoscience studies.
• Program designed to refine targeting ahead of a planned 5,000-metre drill campaign.
• High-grade rock sample of 218.33 g/t Au collected within a dyke structure between Zones A and B.
Integrated Technical Program
Following completion of its inaugural drilling campaign, Stellar launched a comprehensive and integrated
technical program aimed at consolidating all available datasets into a robust geological and structural
framework.
The program combines internal expertise with leading external partners:
• Remote sensing (Viridien): High -resolution spectral and structural interpretation to delineate
lithological variability, alteration footprints, and regional structural architecture
• Structural geology & 3D modelling (Arethuse): Development of a refined structural framework and
integrated 3D geological model incorporating drilling, mapping, and geophysical datasets
• Academic collaboration (UM6P): Deployment of advanced core scanning technologies (e.g.,
hyperspectral, geochemical imaging) and support for analytical workflows, data processing, and
research integration
Core components of the program include:
• 3D litho-structural modelling integrating drilling, mapping, geophysics, and geochemistry
• Field validation including outcrop mapping, structural measurements, and core re-logging
• Multi-scale remote sensing analysis to identify alteration systems and structural corridors
• Multi-element geochemical analysis and vectoring
• Database validation and integration to support targeting workflows
This integrated approach is designed to significantly enhance the understanding of structural controls on
gold mineralization and support the identification of high-priority drill targets across Zones A, B, and C.
High-Grade Rock Sample
The Company reports results from a series of selective rock samples collected across Zones A, C, and the
corridor between Zone A and B.

The high -grade sample (TE -Raz-E2) shows the presence of high -grade gold mineralization outside the
currently drilled Zone B area and within the corridor between Zone A and B.
*Samples are selective in nature and may not be representative of overall mineralization.
Drone-Based Topographic Survey
As part of its ongoing technical program, Stellar has commissioned a high -resolution drone -based
topographic survey over approximately 6.5 km² (650 hectares) of priority drill areas within the Tichka Est
Project. The survey is being conducted at low altitu de (approximately 120 m flight elevation) to generate
high-resolution terrain data.
The program includes aerial acquisition, data processing, and quality control (QA/QC), with key deliverables
comprising:
• High-resolution orthophotography (GeoTIFF)
• Digital Terrain Model (DTM) and Digital Surface Model (DSM)
• 3D point cloud datasets (LAS/LAZ)
• Topographic contours and GIS-compatible outputs (SHP , DXF)
• Georeferenced datasets supporting drillhole collar positioning and field integration
These datasets are expected to significantly enhance topographic control, structural interpretation, and 3D
geological modelling, and will be fully integrated into the Company’s exploration database.

Next Steps
The ongoing technical program is designed to:
• Refine the geological and structural model of the Tichka Est Project.
• Identify and prioritize additional mineralized corridors across the permit area.
• Define drill-ready targets for the planned 5,000 -metre diamond drilling campaign, with focus on
structurally favorable zones.
Technical Disclosure and QA/QC
Rock samples were collected by Stellar’s on -site team of geologists. Sample preparation and gold assaying
were performed by Afrilab in Marrakech, an ISO-certified laboratory independent of the Company. Samples
were crushed to 70% passing 2 mm, split to 250 g, and pulverized to 85% passing 75 μm. Gold assays were
performed using 50 g fire assay with an atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish. Over -limit assays (>5
g/t Au) were re-assayed with gravimetric finish.
About the Tichka Est Gold Project
The Tichka Est Gold Project comprises seven permits covering approximately 82 km² in the High Atlas region
of Morocco approximately 90 km south of Marrakech. Under an earn-in agreement with Morocco’s National
Office for Hydrocarbons and Mining (ONHYM), Stellar can earn an 85% interest after incurring exploration
expenditures totaling US$2.39M (C$3.5M) over three years.
Exploration to date has identified three gold-bearing zones (Zones A, B, and C), with Zone B representing the
most advanced area following recent drilling. Gold mineralization is associated with structurally controlled
systems linked to diorite intrusions and carbonate host rocks.
