ZODIAC GOLD LAUNCHES HIGH-RESOLUTION DRONE SURVEY TO SCALE ARTHINGTON DISCOVERY ACROSS 16KM TREND

Zodiac Gold Inc. has commenced a high-resolution drone magnetic and lidar (light detection and ranging) survey over its flagship 16-kilometre Arthington-Youth camp trend. This survey is a key step in advancing the company's 2026 exploration program and unlocking district-scale potential at its Todi gold project.

David Kol, president and chief executive officer, commented: "We've already made a discovery at Arthington, now we're scaling it. This program is about turning that discovery into a repeatable model across 16 kilometres. That's how you move from a single discovery to a district-scale gold system and that's where real value is created. This survey will give us the data to target smarter, drill more efficiently and accelerate resource growth."

The Arthington discovery has already demonstrated exceptional consistency, with gold intersected in 37 of 39 drill holes. This survey is designed to identify the geophysical signature of that discovery and to search for zones with similar characteristics across the broader trend, significantly enhancing targeting and accelerating the conversion of exploration success into resource growth. By integrating high-resolution magnetics with lidar, Zodiac Gold will map the structural controls on mineralization, including key shears, faults and lithological contacts, while generating a detailed digital terrain model to support both targeting and mineral resource estimation.

The 47.8-square-kilometre survey will be flown on northeast-southwest flight lines at 50-metre spacing by Axis Drone Surveys, with comprehensive data processing and interpretation to be completed by renowned geophysical consultants, Southern Geoscience Consultants (SGC). The interpretation will feed directly into the company's continuing 14,000-metre drill program, of which 2,343 metres have been completed in 13 holes, with geological logging showing encouraging signs along the southern gold-in-soil trend at Ben Ben. The survey is expected to improve drill precision, increase discovery rates and support a planned mineral resource estimate in Q4 (fourth quarter) 2026, positioning the company to demonstrate scale and continuity across the 16-kilometre trend.
