Kobo Resources Inc. (TSX.V: KRI)<\/strong> announced the commencement of approximately 4,000 to 5,000 metres (“m<\/b>“) of\u00a0diamond drilling\u00a0as part of the first phase of the Company\u2019s 2024 exploration program at its 100%-owned Kossou Gold Project (“Kossou”) located in C\u00f4te d’Ivoire, West Africa.<\/p>\n

The Company\u2019s 2024 drill program is designed to follow up on results from its inaugural 2023 exploration program which identified multiple shear zones of gold mineralization in three key targets with a combined strike length of over four kilometres.<\/p>\n

The Company\u2019s 2023 exploration program consisted of 5,887 m (53 holes) of reverse circulation (“RC<\/b>“) drilling and approximately 5,400 m (93 trenches) of trenching, which outlined significant gold mineralization at the Jagger Zone, Road Cut Zone and Kadie Zone.<\/p>\n

The Company has initiated its first phase of diamond drilling to gain further understanding of the detailed structural controls to gold mineralization at Kossou as well as the association between the strong, through going N-S shear zones and the intersection of those structures with high-grade WNW-ESE and E-W quartz veins (“V2<\/b>” veins) as documented by Dr. Ghislain Tourigny in the detailed structural report provided to the Company in October 2023 (see press released dated November 1, 2023<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The Company\u2019s structural report outlined a significant 300- to +400-meter-wide deformation and alteration zone mapped over a 3+ km strike extent south from the Road Cut Zone, situated in the hanging wall of a crustal scale first order fault identified as the Contact Zone Fault.<\/p>\n

The study also indicates the system contains two styles of gold mineralization including:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A replacement style composed of disseminated sulphides and carbonates in highly silicified basalts and<\/li>\n
  2. Late quartz-carbonate veins that obliquely crosscut the silicified mineralization and shear zones.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Significant gold mineralization occurs within both styles of mineralization and further geological work indicates this structural corridor extends south through the Jagger Zone, over 3.5 kilometers, suggesting the presence of a significant mesothermal gold system at Kossou. The Road Cut Zone, Jagger Zone and Kadie Zone are believed to host similar structure and mineralising controls.<\/p>\n
