# Zodiac Gold Expands Monterra Gold System with 12m at 1.16 g/t Au from Trenching at Feh Feh and Discovers New Gold-Bearing Targets Parallel to the 16km Trend Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/zodiac-gold-expands-monterra-gold-system-with-12m-at-1-16-g-t-au-from-trenching--7f3ced98-4628-46cb-badb-12ae2a0ea285 Original source: https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/311195/Zodiac-Gold-Expands-Monterra-Gold-System-with-12m-at-1.16-gt-Au-from-Trenching-at-Feh-Feh-and-Discovers-New-GoldBearing-Targets-Parallel-to-the-16km-Trend Publisher: newsfile Original announcement: 2026-08-25T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Zodiac Gold Inc. - Ticker: ZAU - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: Liberia - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-08-25 11:21:32 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.70 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Zodiac Gold reported encouraging trenching results at the Feh Feh target of the Todi Gold Project, including a 12m at 1.16 g/t Au intercept. The company also identified new gold-bearing artisanal workings outside the existing Monterra Trend footprint, suggesting potential for district-scale expansion. Reasoning: Trenching results at Feh Feh confirm gold mineralization with high-grade sub-intervals, and new artisanal workings suggest expansion of the known Monterra Trend footprint. - Positive factor: Step-Out Extension - Positive factor: QA/QC Disclosed - Positive factor: Bonanza Intercept - Negative factor: Apparent Width Only Facts used in scoring: 16 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: New gold-bearing targets identified outside the existing soil geochemical survey footprint. Evidence · text > identified new gold-bearing artisanal workings outside the footprint of the existing soil geochemical survey **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: Release mentions addition of blanks and duplicates to the trenching sample sequence. Evidence · text > QA/QC procedures included the addition of blank and duplicate samples **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: 1m at 8.28 g/t Au is exceptionally high grade. Evidence · table > 8.28 Context: 1.00 **Apparent Width Only** Polarity: negative Definition: Interval given as downhole width with no true width or drill orientation — apparent width may overstate true thickness. Why it applies: Trenching results are reported as sampled lengths rather than true thicknesses. Evidence · text > intervals are sampled lengths rather than true thicknesses **No QA/QC Disclosure** Polarity: negative Definition: Release does not disclose QA/QC — lab certification, CP/QP sign-off and assay protocols cannot be checked from this document. Why it applies: No QA/QC samples were added to the artisanal pit channel sample sequence. Evidence · text > No QA/QC samples were added to the artisanal pit channel sample sequence ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 16.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
