Kobo Resources Inc. has received $1,275,010 in total gross proceeds from the exercise of 4,250,034 common share purchase warrants, representing 100 per cent of the outstanding warrants expiring Aug. 31, 2023.

The company has appointed Dr. Ghislain Tourigny as structural geology consultant to assist in furthering the understanding of the structural setting and controls on gold mineralization of key targets at its 100-per-cent-owned Kossou gold project.

Edward Gosselin, chief executive officer and director of Kobo, commented: "The successful exercise of warrants reaffirms our existing shareholders' confidence in our ability to successfully deliver and execute on our exploration program thus far at Kossou. Among the subscribers are several industry professionals which represents a strong vote of confidence towards Kobo and its quest in making Kossou a successful project. The additional capital will help support our exploration plans going forward. We remain enthusiastic about the opportunities that lie ahead, especially with the planned additional drilling on the Jagger zone, Road Cut zone and first holes at the Kadie zone to further define and extend gold mineralization within these zones."

He continued: "It is a pleasure to have Dr. Ghislain Tourigny join our team to help further our understanding of the overall structural framework of our key targets at Kossou. Dr. Tourigny has over 35 years of experience in structural geology, including four years as the group structural geologist at Perseus's Yaoure gold mine and three additional years consulting to Perseus mapping exploration and exploitation permits and conducting detailed open-pit mapping at the Yaoure mine with an emphasis on structural controls on gold mineralization. The expertise that Dr. Tourigny possesses of the area will prove invaluable as we work to further understand the structural setting of our prospective targets, including the Jagger zone, Road Cut zone and the newly mapped Kadie zone."

Dr. Tourigny is a distinguished and accomplished structural geologist with over four decades of expertise in geology, particularly in West Africa. Dr. Tourigny most recently served as group structural geologist at Perseus in Ivory Coast, where he focused on the structural mapping of the Yaoure gold mine open pit, with an emphasis on the structural controls of the gold-bearing lenses, structural logging of the main fault zones and the structural interpretation of airborne geophysical data. Dr. Tourigny's notable experience in West Africa over the past 20 years includes holding the positions of exploration manager at SEMS Exploration Services Ltd., structural and mineral deposits geologist at Etruscan Resources Inc., and senior regional geologist at High River Gold Mines Ltd. in Burkina Faso as well as regional geologist at Gold Fields Ltd. in Mali. Dr. Tourigny holds a PhD in structural geology and metallogeny and a master in structural geology from the University of Montreal, and a bachelor in geology from the University du Quebec, Montreal.
