He is one of the most accomplished exploration geologists in the industry, with a rare combination of technical depth and real-world success in building mines. As Zodiac Gold continues to advance its district-scale land package in Liberia, Pete's experience across West Africa and globally will be invaluable in refining our geological model, accelerating discovery and ultimately driving toward resource definition and development. We are building a strong technical team, and Pete is a cornerstone addition."

Mr. Flindell added: "Zodiac Gold has assembled a highly compelling land package in Liberia with clear indications of a large-scale mineralized system. The work completed to date has established a strong foundation, and I believe there is significant opportunity to unlock additional value through systematic exploration and disciplined technical execution. I look forward to working with the team to help advance these assets toward their full potential."
