# Zodiac Gold Trenching Intersects 52 Metres at 0.71 g/t Au, Including 19 Metres at 1.51 g/t Au, Confirming Second 1.8 km Mineralized Trend at Lewis Target, Todi Gold Project, Liberia Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/zodiac-gold-trenching-intersects-52-metres-at-0-71-g-t-au-including-19-metres-at--9d22454a-7134-4988-8cfd-a8ccb41349ae Original source: https://orestocks.com/company/ZAU.V/press-releases/7357565018391370 Publisher: orestocks Original announcement: 2026-09-02T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Zodiac Gold Inc. - Ticker: ZAU.V - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: Liberia - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-09-02 11:37:40 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Zodiac Gold has confirmed a second 1.8 km mineralized trend at the Lewis Target within its Todi Gold Project in Liberia through first-pass trenching. The trenching results, specifically from LWT001 and LWT002, show broad near-surface gold mineralization with high-grade intercepts up to 6.59 g/t Au. Reasoning: First-pass trenching successfully confirmed a new parallel mineralized trend \(Lewis North\) with encouraging grades and significant width, expanding the Lewis target footprint. - Positive factor: Confirmation of a second 1.8 km mineralized trend - Positive factor: Broad near-surface mineralization - Positive factor: High-grade intercepts \(up to 6.59 g/t Au\) - Positive factor: Expansion of exploration footprint - Negative factor: Apparent width only \(trenching/no true width reported\) Facts used in scoring: 6 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Confirmed a second 1.8 km mineralized trend 400m away from the existing Lewis South trend. Evidence · text > establishing a second compelling mineralized trend parallel to Lewis South **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 details blanks, duplicates, and accredited ALS Geochemistry laboratory. Evidence · text > QA/QC procedures included the addition of blank and duplicate samples **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 trenched lengths rather than true thicknesses. Evidence · text > Intervals are trenched lengths rather than true thicknesses, which cannot be accurately estimated ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 6.

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.
