An ongoing land-use dispute in British Columbia’s mineral-rich Golden Triangle has escalated into a full-blown legal battle as Tudor Gold (TSXV:TUD,OTC Pink:TDRRF)takes the province and rival Seabridge Gold (TSX:SEA,NYSE:SA) to court over tunneling rights linked to one of Canada’s largest undeveloped mining projects.

Tudor filed a civil claim in the BC Supreme Court on September 22 and a separate petition for judicial review on October 3, alleging that the province acted improperly in granting Seabridge permission to tunnel through Tudor’s mineral claims for the construction of underground infrastructure tied to the massive Kerr–Sulphurets–Mitchell (KSM) project.

The KSM project, owned entirely by Seabridge, is described as one of the world’s largest undeveloped gold and copper deposits.

Tudor, meanwhile, operates the neighboring Treaty Creek property, where exploration since the early 2010s has identified major gold and copper resources at the Goldstorm deposit.

In its filings, Tudor is asking the court to declare that a conditional mineral reserve, which is imposed by the province to protect Seabridge’s tunneling rights, does not apply to its claims, or that British Columbia’s authorities exceeded their legal powers in granting the rights of occupation.

Failing that, Tudor is seeking compensation for expropriation or damages related to misrepresentation.

“We have a new team at Tudor Gold with a significant amount of experience exploring, developing, and mining in the Golden Triangle,” said Tudor president and CEO Joe Ovsenek.

“In assessing the various aspects of the Treaty Creek Project, we filed the claim as we believed it was necessary to preserve our rights impacted by a limitation period; however, we believe the best path forward is to resolve this dispute through negotiation,” Ovsenek added.

Tudor’s case also targets a September 2024 decision by the Ministry of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship (WLRS) granting Seabridge a renewed Licence of Occupation (LoO) for the tunnel corridor.

The 2024 LoO replaced an earlier 2014 licence and provided Seabridge the right to occupy a narrow stretch of Crown land that overlaps Tudor’s mineral claims.

In a July 2024 statement, former Tudor CEO and President, Ken Konkin, wrote: “It is the company’s position that any LoO which allows access for KSM Mining to construct the MTT tunnels through Tudor’s mineral claims is subject to the prior rights of Tudor to its mineral tenures. As a result, the company will continue to strongly oppose any LoO and MTT Tunnel route planned by KSM Mining that would impair Tudor’s newly discovered Goldstorm Deposit.’

The company insists that a Licence of Occupation cannot interfere with the rights of a mineral claim holder, and that the government has a duty to safeguard those rights.

Seabridge, however, maintains that the provincial authorizations are valid and were granted in line with established procedures.

“We have attempted to find terms to avoid a conflict like this with Tudor, but their demands have been unreasonable,” said Seabridge chair and CEO Rudi Fronk in a recent statement. “We are confident that the Province has acted within the law and that the various authorizations for the MTT are appropriate and reliable.”

Fronk added that the KSM project has been deemed in the public interest. Currently, it is already backed by environmental assessment approvals, a pre-feasibility study demonstrating economic viability, and multiple construction permits.

He also accused Tudor of pursuing multiple overlapping court actions in an effort to delay KSM’s progress.

“Tudor now has three concurrent, separate legal actions all directed at voiding authorizations for the MTT. In our view, if Tudor thinks it must bring three separate legal actions, it probably lacks confidence in the success of any one of them,” Fronk added.

For now, the 2024 Licence of Occupation remains in effect as the province and Seabridge prepare to defend it in court. The company said it will continue advancing development work on the KSM project for the benefit of its shareholders.

The silver price kept surging on Thursday (October 9), breaking US$51 per ounce.

The white metal has never risen past US$51, and has only traded at the US$50 level twice in the past — once in 2011, and once in 1980, when the Hunt brothers attempted to corner the market.

Silver price chart, October 2 to October 9, 2025.

Known for lagging behind gold before outperforming, silver is now ahead of its sister metal in terms of percentage gains — it’s up just over 65 percent year-to-date, while gold has risen around 53 percent.

Both metals are now at historic highs, with gold breaking US$4,000 per ounce this week. The US government shutdown has helped drive gold’s latest rise, but it’s also seeing underlying support from strong central bank buying, global geopolitical uncertainty, concerns about fiat currencies and expectations of lower interest rates.

Silver acts as both a precious and industrial metal, meaning that it’s driven by many of the same factors as gold, but also has additional sources of demand. According to the Silver Institute, industrial demand for silver reached a record 680.5 million ounces in 2024, driven by usage in grid infrastructure, vehicle electrification and photovoltaics.

Total silver demand was down 3 percent year-on-year in 2024, but still exceeded supply for the fourth year in a row, resulting in a deficit of 148.9 million ounces for the year.

Watch five experts share their thoughts on the outlook for silver.

With silver now past its all-time high, investors are wondering about its long-term prospects.

While many experts have lofty expectations for silver, including triple-digit price predictions, there’s a broad consensus that the white metal may correct before continuing on upward.

However, there’s also recognition that silver’s situation today is different than it was previously.

‘If you have something happen with the supply, and then on top of that at some point you’re running into issues with debt loads and currencies, that would certainly leave us probably into a much different environment for silver than either 1980 or 2011,’ said Chris Marcus, founder of Arcadia Economics.

An expected sixth vote to reopen the government didn’t come to fruition on Tuesday, but lawmakers face a new wrinkle: the possibility that furloughed employees won’t be paid. 

The government shutdown marched into its seventh day with both Senate Republicans and Democrats still at odds on a path forward, and no real clear end in sight. The Senate was expected to vote on the GOP’s plan again, but no agreement could be reached to bring the bill, along with the Democrats’ counter-proposal, to the floor. 

Both sides are still entrenched in their positions, too. Senate Democrats want a firm deal on the extension of expiring ObamaCare tax credits to earn their votes to reopen the government, while Senate Republicans have promised that negotiations on the credits can happen once the government is open again.

Lawmakers failed to hold a sixth vote to reopen the government Tuesday as a new White House memo warned that furloughed workers may not get paid.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has continued to ramp up his messaging that Americans broadly support their push, and blamed House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and House Republicans for not being in session as a major roadblock to progress. 

‘Hundreds of thousands of federal workers are furloughed and thousands more are working without pay. And meanwhile, House Republicans are getting paid and not working,’ Schumer said. ‘So federal workers working and not getting paid. House Republicans paid and not working. Very bad. Very bad thing for them. Very bad picture for them.’

While lawmakers traded barbs and discussed an off-ramp on Capitol Hill, the latest memo from the White House, first reported by Axios, signaled that up to 750,000 nonessential furloughed federal workers may not be paid.

The memo adds fresh uncertainty for hundreds of thousands of federal employees caught in the political crossfire.

When asked if it was the White House’s position whether federal workers should be paid back pay, President Donald Trump said, ‘I would say it depends on who we’re talking about.’

‘I can tell you this,’ Trump said. ‘The Democrats have put a lot of people in great risk and jeopardy, but it really depends on who you’re talking about. But for the most part, we’re going to take care of our people. There are some people that really don’t deserve to be taken care of, and we’ll take care of them in a different way.’

Many lawmakers had just learned about the memo as of Tuesday afternoon. It suggested that a 2019 law signed by Trump that guaranteed back pay for furloughed workers in future shutdowns may not have to be followed.

‘I just heard that,’ Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.V., said. ‘My phones are lighting up.’

When asked if the memo hurt or helped talks, she said, ‘It could get more urgent, it also could tick a lot of people off.’

Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said that the memo was ‘probably not a good message to send right now to people who are not being paid.’

‘I’m not an attorney, but I think it’s bad strategy to even say that sort of stuff,’ Tillis said. ‘We got a lot of hard-working people there on the sidelines now because the Democrats have put them there.’

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said that she believed that issue had been settled with the 2019 law, but as a ‘back up,’ Congress could pass a bill that any ‘obligations that were incurred during the shutdown are authorized to be paid.’

And Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, argued that regardless of the memo, the law said ‘shall.’

‘I left my law degree in the car, but ‘shall’ is relatively straightforward,’ he said. ‘I think it doesn’t matter at all, because we’re fighting for healthcare.’

The latest pressure tactic on Senate Democrats comes after the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) directed in a previous memo that mass firings could be on the horizon beyond the typical furloughs during a shutdown.

It also comes after OMB Director Russ Vought announced nearly $30 billion in federal funding was set to be withheld from blue cities and states. 

Both Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., wanted to see federal workers get paid, but contended that the issue would go away if Schumer and Senate Democrats reopened the government.

‘My assumption is that furloughed workers will get back pay,’ Thune said. ‘But that being said, this is very simple. Open up the government and this is a non-issue. We don’t have to have this conversation. Everybody gets paid when the government is open.’

Meanwhile, the previous tactics did little to nudge Democrats from their position, and so far, have not killed talks between either side.

But Sen. Jean Shaheen, D-N.H., who has been a key communicator for Senate Democrats in bipartisan talks, said that Vought’s actions weren’t helping matters.

‘It would be a lot easier to resolve the situation if Russ Vought would stop talking,’ Shaheen said.

Former FBI Director James Comey will be arraigned in federal court Wednesday morning after being indicted on charges of alleged false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding.

Comey has said he is innocent.

The former FBI director is set to have his first court appearance at 10 a.m. Eastern Time in the Albert V. Bryan United States Courthouse in the Eastern District of Virginia.

The judge presiding over the hearing is District Judge Michael S. Nachmanoff.

Comey was indicted in September by a federal grand jury on two counts: alleged false statements within jurisdiction of the legislative branch and obstruction of a congressional proceeding.

The indictment alleges that Comey obstructed a congressional investigation into the disclosure of sensitive information in violation of 18 USC 1505.

The indictment also alleges Comey made a false statement when he stated he did not authorize someone at the FBI to be an anonymous source. According to the indictment, that statement was false.

Fox News Digital exclusively reported in July that Comey was under criminal investigation by the FBI. The probe into Comey centered on whether he lied to Congress during his Sept. 30, 2020, testimony about his handling of the original Trump–Russia probe at the FBI, known inside the bureau as ‘Crossfire Hurricane.’

‘No one is above the law,’ Attorney General Pam Bondi said on X after the indictment, adding that it ‘reflects this Department of Justice’s commitment to holding those who abuse positions of power accountable for misleading the American people. We will follow the facts in this case.’

FBI Director Kash Patel said ‘previous corrupt leadership and their enablers weaponized federal law enforcement, damaging once proud institutions and severely eroding public trust.’

‘Every day, we continue the fight to earn that trust back, and under my leadership, this FBI will confront the problem head-on,’ Patel said. ‘Nowhere was this politicization of law enforcement more blatant than during the Russiagate hoax, a disgraceful chapter in history we continue to investigate and expose.’

He added: ‘Everyone, especially those in positions of power, will be held to account – no matter their perch.’

Comey, after being indicted, posted an Instagram video, denying the allegations.

‘My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump, but we couldn’t imagine ourselves living any other way,’ he said. ‘We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn’t either. Somebody that I love dearly recently said that fear is the tool of a tyrant, and she’s right.’

‘But I’m not afraid,’ Comey added.

‘My heart is broken for the Department of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system and I am innocent, so let’s have a trial and keep the faith,’ Comey said.

Fox News Digital also exclusively reported that former CIA Director John Brennan is under criminal investigation related to the Trump–Russia probe. 

Under federal law, prosecutors have five years to bring a charge, with the five-year mark occurring Tuesday.

The case is being handled by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia.

The FBI opened its Trump-Russia probe in July 2016, known inside the bureau as ‘Crossfire Hurricane.’ 

President Donald Trump, during his first term, fired Comey in May 2017. 

Days later, Robert Mueller was appointed special counsel to take over the FBI’s original ‘Crossfire Hurricane’ investigation.

After nearly two years, former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, which concluded in March 2019, yielded no evidence of criminal conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russian officials during the 2016 presidential election.

Shortly after, John Durham was appointed as special counsel to investigate the origins of the ‘Crossfire Hurricane’ probe.

Durham found that the FBI ‘failed to act’ on a ‘clear warning sign’ that the bureau was the ‘target’ of a Clinton-led effort to ‘manipulate or influence the law enforcement process for political purposes’ ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

‘The aforementioned facts reflect a rather startling and inexplicable failure to adequately consider and incorporate the Clinton Plan intelligence into the FBI’s investigative decision-making in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation,’ Durham’s report states.

‘Indeed, had the FBI opened the Crossfire Hurricane investigation as an assessment and, in turn, gathered and analyzed data in concert with the information from the Clinton Plan intelligence, it is likely that the information received would have been examined, at a minimum, with a more critical eye,’ the report continued.

Durham, in his report, said the FBI ‘failed to act on what should have been — when combined with other incontrovertible facts — a clear warning sign that the FBI might then be the target of an effort to manipulate or influence the law enforcement process for political purposes during the 2016 presidential election.’

Former FBI Director James Comey pleaded not guilty on charges of alleged false statements and obstruction of congress during his first court appearance in Virginia on Wednesday.

The former FBI director appeared at 10 a.m. Eastern Time in the Albert V. Bryan United States Courthouse in the Eastern District of Virginia. Comey’s wife, Patrice, and daughter Maureen were spotted waiting in line outside the courthouse Wednesday morning.

The judge presiding over the hearing is District Judge Michael S. Nachmanoff, an appointee of former President Joe Biden.

Comey’s trial date is set for Jan. 5. His lawyer, Patrick Fitzgerald, told Judge Nachmanoff that representing Comey ‘is the honor of my life.’ Fitzpatrick also told the judge they would be filing motions alleging a vindictive and retaliatory prosecution as well as outrageous government conduct.

A crew member has died from injuries sustained during a Houthi attack on a Dutch cargo ship in the Gulf of Aden, as the Iran-backed rebels escalate their campaign against international targets and detain United Nations workers in Yemen.

The Philippines’ Department of Migrant Workers confirmed that the victim was a Filipino national aboard the Minervagracht, a vessel operated by Amsterdam-based Spliethoff. The ship was struck by an explosive device while sailing in international waters, igniting a fire that forced the evacuation of 19 crew members of Russian, Ukrainian, Filipino and Sri Lankan nationalities. They were rescued by helicopter and transported to safety, the company said.

Iran-backed Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack, alleging the vessel had ‘violated the entry ban to the ports of occupied Palestine.’ The group has repeatedly targeted commercial shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, claiming its attacks are acts of solidarity with Palestinians amid Israel’s war in Gaza.

But the strike on the Minervagracht was the first major assault in the Gulf of Aden, which links the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea, since July 2024.

And the strike on the Minervagracht marked the Houthis’ first assault on a commercial ship since the Sept. 1 attack on the Israeli-owned tanker Scarlet Ray near the Saudi port city of Yanbu.

Meanwhile, the United Nations said that 10 of its staff members — all Yemeni nationals — were detained this week in areas controlled by the Houthis. They were working to deliver humanitarian aid in one of the world’s poorest and most war-torn countries.

According to the U.N., a total of 54 staff members have been detained by the Houthis since 2021 as the rebels intensify their crackdown on international aid organizations. The Houthis have previously accused detained aid workers of being part of a ‘spy network,’ a claim the U.N. and human rights groups have strongly denied.

The detentions come as Yemen’s civil war, now in its 10th year, continues to fragment the country and complicate aid delivery, with more than two-thirds of the population reliant on humanitarian assistance.

The attacks come after Washington agreed to a ceasefire with the Houthis in May — raising questions about whether it will hold.

The Houthis ‘say they will not be blowing up ships anymore,’ President Donald Trump said on May 6 when he announced the ceasefire.

In July, the Houthis attacked Greek-owned commercial vessel Magic Seas and the Liberia-flagged bulk carrier Eternity C.

Between December 2023 and February 2024, Houthi attacks caused a 90% drop in global container shipping through the Red Sea, according to the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency.

The Houthis have not violated the ceasefire provision banning attacks on U.S. ships but have breached the agreement’s clause requiring ‘the smooth flow of international commercial shipping.’

President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has once again stepped into the geopolitical arena, landing in Egypt alongside White House Special Envoy Steve Witkoff on Wednesday to secure a ceasefire deal in Gaza. 

The presence of Kushner — who has largely stayed out of Trump’s White House during the president’s second term and holds no official role in the administration after previously serving as a senior advisor to Trump — signifies that the U.S. is ‘serious’ about securing a deal between Hamas and Israel, bringing an end to the two-year war and returning all 48 hostages. 

A White House official told Fox News Digital that Kushner, a ‘major architect of the Abraham Accords,’ is an ‘extremely trusted voice on Middle East policy’ and has been in contact with Witkoff throughout the Israel-Hamas negotiations over the last year.

The official said the White House is ‘grateful’ for his expertise as it attempts to secure a deal and end the war this week, and remains ‘cautiously optimistic’ that an agreement will be reached. 

‘To bring him in now, I think, indicates that, one: the Trump administration is really determined to get some progress here. Two: they’re bringing some pretty serious firepower to make some deals,’ Rebeccah Heinrichs, senior fellow and director of the Hudson Institute’s Keystone Defense Initiative, told ‘Fox and Friends’ Wednesday morning. 

‘It’s promising that Jared is there,’ Heinrichs added, noting his prominent role in securing the Abraham Accords during the first Trump administration. 

Reports on Wednesday suggested that the pair intend to remain in Egypt alongside other mediating nations, including Qatar, for as long as it takes to secure a deal. 

Their arrival marked the third day of serious negotiations after Israeli and Hamas officials convened on Monday in the Egyptian coastal resort city of Sharm El Sheikh, located at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula. 

The negotiations began after Trump late last month revealed a 20-point peace plan to end the war and return the hostages within a 72-hour window of an agreement being finalized.

Shortly after, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to the terms before Trump began pushing Hamas to respond. 

Hamas appeared to accept the majority of the proposal over the weekend, though it flagged issues with certain elements of the 20-point blueprint, including the swift return of all the hostages, particularly the deceased hostages, some of whom it says are buried under rubble and, therefore, cannot be quickly retrieved. 

Reports also suggested Hamas took issue with the call for it to completely disarm and flagged distrust that Israel would hold up its end of the bargain by ending its military ambitions in the Gaza Strip once all the hostages are returned. 

Security experts have told Fox News Digital that Trump, after months of backing Israel’s aggressive military strategy in the Gaza Strip, is in a unique position to squeeze Netanyahu and force both sides to the negotiating table. 

‘It’s absolutely imperative for Israel’s long-term security and, frankly, for Netanyahu’s political future to keep the U.S. and Trump on side,’ John Hannah, security expert and Randi & Charles Wax senior fellow at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America, told Fox News Digital. ‘A flat-out rejection and confrontation with the United States would have been disastrous for Netanyahu as well as for Israel.’

Netanyahu is facing a precarious political front at home with immense frustration by the public over his failure to return the hostages, but also within his own coalition, which sees his negotiating with Hamas as a concession and collapse of his previous stated security aims.

  • High-grade gold intercepts confirm strong continuity at the Road Cut Zone with multiple parallel shears traced along the Contact Zone Fault
  • Drilling continues to expand mineralisation at the Jagger Zone, confirming gold-bearing shears to depths exceeding 240 m and reinforcing the strength of Kobo’s structural model
  • Ongoing 12,000–15,000 m program advancing toward Kobo’s maiden Mineral Resource Estimate, with two rigs active and geological modelling underway across priority targets

Kobo Resources Inc. (‘ Kobo’ or the ‘ Company ‘) ( TSX.V: KRI ) is pleased to report additional diamond drill results from the Jagger and Road Cut Zones at its 100%-owned Kossou Gold Project (‘ Kossou ‘) in Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa. The new results continue to confirm strong continuity of high-grade gold mineralisation at Kossou and enhance the Company’s confidence in the emerging scale and potential of its highly prospective target areas.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251008273472/en/

Figure 1: Road Cut Zone Drill Hole Location Map and Simplified Geology

Diamond Drill Results Highlights:

Road Cut Zone:

  • KDD0095
    • 17.0 metres (‘m’) at 3.87 g/t Au from 22.0, including 9.0 m at 6.84 g/t Au, from 23.0 m
  • KDD0098
    • 6.0 m at 1.48 g/t Au from 157.0 m
  • KDD0099
    • 5.0 m at 2.82 g/t Au from 170.0 m (Contact Zone Target)

Jagger Zone

  • KDD0096
    • 4.0 m at 1.48 g/t Au from 21.0 m
    • 3.0 m at 2.34 g/t Au from 31.0 m
    • 5.0 m at 1.41 g/t Au from 106.0 m
  • KDD0097
    • 4.0 m at 2.30 g/t Au from 240.0 m
    • 6.0 m at 1.52 g/t Au from 350.0 m

These results represent the first six holes from Kobo’s ongoing 12,000–15,000 m diamond drilling program launched on September 4, 2025. The current campaign is focused on systematically expanding known mineralized zones at the Jagger and Road Cut Zones while testing the interpreted structural corridor that links them. Drilling is also continuing to evaluate the Contact Zone Fault ‘( CZ Fault ‘), an important regional structure believed to provide deep fluid pathways for gold mineralisation at Kossou.

Edward Gosselin, CEO and Director of Kobo commented: ‘The latest intersections continue to demonstrate the strength of gold mineralisation within the Road Cut and Jagger structural zones. These results are confirming the continuity of gold-bearing shears and the importance of the Contact Zone Fault as a potential regional control on mineralisation. Particularly, the consistency of gold mineralisation at the Jagger Zone, from surface to greater than 180 m depth, highlights the continuity and strength of the system.’ He continued: ‘Ongoing drilling will allow us to further test these controls, define extensions along strike and at depth, and continue building a comprehensive geological model for Kossou as we progress toward a maiden Resource Estimate on the project.’

Road Cut Zone Highlights

KDD0095, KDD0098, and KDD0099 were drilled along a 150-metre strike length on Sections RCZ500, RCZ600, and RCZ650 (see Figure 1 for drill-hole locations). Full assay results are presented in Table 1 .

The most significant intersection was returned from KDD0095 on Section RCZ500, averaging 17.0 m at 3.87 g/t Au from 22.0 m, including 9.0 m at 6.84 g/t Au from 23.0 m (see Figure 2 and Figure 3). This intercept occurs approximately 20 m beneath artisanal workings and is hosted within a shear zone previously intersected in KDD0012 (11.0 m at 1.71 g/t Au) and KDD0091 (15.55 m at 2.30 g/t Au) . The shear zone parallels the main CZ Fault and lies roughly 60 m west of this structure, suggesting a close spatial and structural relationship.

KDD0098 , drilled on Section RCZ600 , intersected 6.0 m at 1.48 g/t Au from 157.0 m within a shear zone exhibiting typical alteration and quartz veining approximately 12.0 m from the CZ Fault. The mineralisation occurs about 120.0 m below surface. Several additional lower-grade intervals were also intersected within 50.0 m of the CZ Fault in sheared basalt (see Figure 4).

KDD0099 , located approximately 50 m south of KDD0098 on Section RCZ650, intersected 5.0 m at 2.82 g/t Au from 170.0 m directly on the CZ Fault, confirming the presence of gold mineralisation along this important regional structure (see Figure 5).

The intensity of shearing, alteration and quartz veining in the three drill holes in the vicinity of the artisanal mine and CZ Fault is very encouraging for further gold mineralisation and will be further tested with additional diamond drilling.

Jagger Zone Highlights

KDD0094 , KDD0096 , and KDD0097 were drilled on Section JZ600 to evaluate the core mineralisation previously identified and to test the continuity of Structure JZ6 near surface and at depth (see Figures 6 and 7).

KDD0096 intersected 5.0 m at 1.41 g/t Au associated with Structure JZ6, approximately 65 m below surface. KDD0097 , which targeted the 8.0 m at 3.72 g/t Au intersection in KDD0028 at depth, returned 2.0 m at 0.58 g/t Au . Drilling confirms that well-defined shears extend to at least 240 m below surface, with gold grades corresponding to the density of quartz veining within these structures.

Additional intersections of 4.0 m at 2.30 g/t Au and 6.0 m at 1.52 g/t Au in KDD0097 , associated with Structures JZ1 and JZ4 respectively, demonstrate good continuity between 150 m and 180 m depth along the shear zones. These results further validate the Company’s structural model, indicating that gold mineralisation is hosted within a series of steep, westerly dipping shears closely associated with quartz-feldspar porphyry and diorite intrusives within the basaltic volcanic sequence.

Next Steps: Progressing the 2025 Drill Program and Advancing Resource Definition at Kossou

To date, the Company has completed nine diamond drill holes (2,016 m) of a planned 15-hole program (3,600 m) at the Road Cut Zone, and eight holes (2,820 m) of 23 planned holes (11,300 m) at the Jagger and Jagger South Zones. Two drill rigs remain active on site, with drilling continuing to test extensions along strike and at depth across both zones.

Geological modelling of the Jagger and Road Cut Zones is ongoing, with new data being integrated to refine the Company’s structural interpretation and support the definition of mineralized envelopes in advance of Kossou’s maiden mineral resource estimate.

Notes:

Cut-off using 2.0 m at 0.30 g/t Au

Intervals are reported with no more than 3.0 m of internal dilution of less than 0.3 g/t Au except where indicated*

An accurate dip and strike and controls of mineralisation are unconfirmed and mineralised zones are reported as downhole lengths. Drill holes are planned to intersect mineralised zones perpendicular to interpreted targets. All intercepts reported are downhole distances as true width is unknown.

Sampling, QA/QC, and Analytical Procedures

Drill core was logged and sampled by Kobo personnel at site. Drill cores were sawn in half, with one half remaining in the core box and the other half secured into new plastic sample bags with sample number tickets. Core samples are drilled using HQ core barrels to below the level of oxidation and then reduced to NQ core barrels for the remainder of the bore hole. Samples are transported to the SGS Côte d’Ivoire facility in Yamoussoukro by Kobo personnel where the entire sample was prepared for analysis (prep code PRP86/PRP94). Sample splits of 50 grams were then analysed for gold using 50g Fire Assay as per SGS Geochem Method FAA505. QA/QC procedures for the drill program include insertion of a certificated standards every 20 samples, a blank every 20 samples and a duplicate sample every 20 samples. All QAQC control samples returned values within acceptable limits.
