and hard rock artisanal gold mining sites displaying visible gold, and historical data. The program is

expected to provide crucial insights into the geology and mineralization of the area, serving as the

foundation for designing a drill program at the Alasala t arget.

Alasala is a drill - ready target with a continuous and well defined 2.0 km long and 250 m wide

mineralization trend delineated by soil sampling, trenching, channel sampling and auger drilling as well as

extensive artisanal workings with visible gold . Zodiac Gold has previously completed significant

exploration work at the Alasala t arget including:

 Drilling Highlights: 19.6m at 6.17g/t Au, 6.0m at 7.69 g/t A u, and 9.0m at 4.46 g/t Au ;

 Trench Highlights: 14m at 1.35 g/t Au, 30m at 0.35 g/t Au, 6m at 1.24 g/t Au, and 14m at 0.48g/t A u;

and

 Rock Chip samples of up to 107 g/t Au
