STELLAR AFRICAGOLD SUMMER DRILL PROGRAM BEGINS AT HIGH-GRADE GOLD TARGET AT TICHKA EST, MOROCCO

Stellar AfricaGold Inc. has commenced drilling at its 82-square-kilometre flagship Tichka Est gold project in Morocco's Western High Atlas Mountains.

Summer 2025 drill program under way

The remediation and extension of the access road to the Zone B drill sites and the construction of drill platforms are complete. Stellar's 10-hole 1,500-metre summer diamond drill program at Tichka Est's Zone B is under way.

Zone B, located within the over two-kilometre-long B structure, is the most advanced target discovered thus far at the Tichka Est project. It is characterized by the presence of three mineralized horizons and at least two shear zones.

The Zone B drill program will test four primary targets:

• Lateral and downdip continuity of the MT1 sill-hosted mineralization;
• High-grade northeast shear-hosted shoots;
• Depth extensions of Trench 7B dike and potential parallel dikes eastward;
• Previously untested targets identified along the newly mapped faults and conjugate fractures.

Structural mapping and sampling at Structure B indicate a complex deformation system controlling gold mineralization, including conjugate shears and northeast-trending fault corridors. High-grade gold has been intersected in both dioritic sills and intrusive dikes, with mineralized shoots interpreted to plunge gently to the north-northeast. These geological features, along with the scale and continuity of mineralization observed to date, position the Zone B area within the B structure as the principal focus of the coming diamond drill program.

About the Tichka Est gold project

The Tichka Est gold project comprises one exploitation permit and four exploration permits covering an area of 82 square kilometres located in the High Altas region of Morocco, approximately 90 kilometres south of Marrakech. Under an earn-in agreement with Morocco's National Office for Hydrocarbons and Mining (ONYHM), Stellar can earn an 85-per-cent interest after incurring exploration expenditures totalling $2.39-million (U.S.) ($3.5-million) over three years.

To date, early-stage localized exploration (mapping, sampling, trenching and a small first-pass RC (reverse circulation) drill program) have identified three gold-bearing structures: Structure A extending over 450 metres along strike, Structure B extending over two kilometres along strike and Structure C extending over two kilometres along strike. Additionally, regional stream sediment sampling over a 12-square-kilometre area surrounding the three known gold structures identified numerous other metal anomalous areas that warrant further mapping and sampling to identify new zones of mineralization for detailed exploration. These new areas include six areas anomalous for gold, five areas anomalous for silver, two areas anomalous for copper, and three areas anomalous lead and zinc. These early discoveries are over only a small portion of the 82-square-kilometre Pichka Est permits, leaving most of the property as yet unexplored or only superficially explored.

About Tichka Est Zone B gold discovery

Stellar's 2025 exploration focus is on the Zone B gold discovery area where a 10-hole, 1,500-metre summer drill program is under way.

Structure B is a N80-degree-trending gold structure extending over two kilometres 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. Trenching programs by Stellar produced significant assay intersections, including Trench 1B -- 2.21 grams per tonne gold over 17 metres, Trench 2B -- 4.55 g/t Au over 15 metres, Trench 6B -- 3.4 g/t Au over 17 metres, Trench 7B -- 3.40 g/t Au over 20 metres and Trench 9B -- 4.67 g/t Au over 14 metres, while a deep mechanical trench (MT1) returned 3.5 g/t Au over 155.7 metres. Recent chip samples from the diorite sill exposed by Trench MT1 yielded significant gold grades, including 102 g/t Au, 34 g/t Au and 27 g/t Au. A limited exploratory RC shallow drill program returned encouraging confirmatory results, including 3.71 g/t Au over nine metres, 3.03 g/t Au over six metres, 2.27 g/t over six metres and 3.30 g/t Au over four metres. (For further details of trenching assays, see news releases of April 21, 2021, Oct. 6, 2021, Oct. 25, 2021, and Oct. 4, 2022; for further details of the RC drilling assays, see news release of Oct. 4, 2022; and, for details of the chip sampling, see news release of July 10, 2025). A detailed structural interpretation at Structure B including digital 3-D modelling provided additional clarification of the controls of the gold mineralization and concluded that the controls of the gold mineralization appear to be as follows:

• Gold is predominantly hosted in northeast-trending, subvertical quartz-ankerite-arsenopyrite veins and diorite sills controlled by brittle deformation along major faults and conjugate splays.
• Key intercepts in Trench MT1 and Trench 7B dikes plunge gently north-northeast, with additional mineralized sill-hosted gold observed to the northwest and projected at depth.
• Despite complex faulting, deep intercepts suggest continuation of the system at depth; drilling will focus on testing northeast-trending brittle structures and gently northeast-dipping shear corridors.

Structural mapping indicates that steeply west-dipping fractures and northeast shears control high-grade gold-mineralized shoots and that carbonate-sill contacts and dikes similar to those identified in Trench 7B may host additional gold mineralization along the hinge of the anticline.
