Highlights
- First borehole TCK-001 hit13 meters 6.12 g/t au including 2 meters from 22.28 g/t au, and
- 16 meters from 1.98 g/t au including 1 meter from 11.55 g/t au
- Mineralization is mainly organized in sub-horizontal diorite sills, which confirms the continuity of favorable lithology.
- A total of 492.8 meters diamond core to date drilled over three holes in zone B. One drilling installation that is currently working, with the progress of the drill on average approximately 10.5 meters diamond core per day per day.
(Composite intervals include 0.1 g/t au cut-off & maximum internal dilution of 3m.)

Detail of results
Diamond Boorgat TCK-001 is designed to test the interpreted mineralized sub-horizontal diorite sills that function both lithological and structural controls for gold mineralization.
Two well -defined mineralized zones were intersected:
- Inside Diorite 1 between 83-99 meters: 16 m 1.98 g/t au, including 1 m of 11.55 g/t au
- Inside Diorite 2 between 125–138 meters: 13 m 6.12 g/t au, including 2 m 22.28 g/t au
- Within Diorite 3, the mineralization was found in earlier surface slots of the third diorite zone not found in Boorgat TCK-001 consistent with the absence of vein or break in the core.
These intersections support the geological model developed for Tichka Est Zone B and offer a strong encouragement for expanding the drilling program.
Diamond D Rilling now has 492.8 meters over three holes, with core of holes TCK-002 and TCK-003 that confirm the presence of the sulfide-bearing sub-horizontal diorite sills that were previously found in hole TCK-001.
The drilling progresses with an average speed of approximately 10.5 meters per day. Recently, progress was temporarily impeded by broken zones in the gap for which cementation was needed to reduce water loss, logistics of the water supply on the site and weather -related effects that require repairs in roads and drilling platforms. Despite these operational challenges, drilling continues, with excellent core recovery.
Subsequent steps
- Keep drill the planned diamond drill program of 1500 meters to lateral continuity and down-DIP extensions of sulfide-bearing subhorizontal diorite sills, and
- Encourage geological, structural and change models with new data.
- Continued reconnaissance exploration during the Tichka Est Gold Project 82 km permit area.
Management commentary
“Drill Hole TCK-001 at Tichka Est has confirmed the presence of a promising gold system,” said J. François Lalonde, President and CEO of Stellar Africagold. “With mineralization that is now being confirmed at depth, we become more confident in the potential of the Tichka Est Gold Project and we are enthusiastic to expand both our current drilling program to test the continuity of mineralization and extra new goals, while we will promote the zone B Gold Discovery. -area of Tichka Est continue. ”
“In addition to these exciting results, Stellar wants to announce the relaunch of our company newsletter. The renewed newsletter wants to keep stakeholders and shareholders informed of transparent, timely updates. Subscribe to this to use company updates, press releases, press releases and third party media coverage.”
About the Tichka Est Zone B Gold Discovery
The identified zone B structures are located within an area of approximately 1 km2 of the total area of 82 km2 of the Tichka Est Gold project. To date, Stellar has built an 8.5 kilometer mountain access roads and extensive mapping, sampling and trench that focuses on the regions in and around Zone B. To date, three important zones of gold mineralization have been discovered with many of the total Tichka EST project area that is still unexplored or only investigated superficially.
At the zone B, various programs of mechanical and hand graves yielded a series of impressive test results, including slots MT1 3.5 g/t Gold more than 155.7 meters 1, mt2 1.52 g/t gold over 39.7 meters and 1.58 g/t more than 17 meters 3 and T2b 4.56 golds 2. Stellar reconnaissance survey will remain in the Tichka Est Gold Project area.

Technical disclosure
The drilling campaign at Tichka Est is performed by two geologists from the African Bureau or Mining Consultants, under the supervision of Mr. Yassine Belkabir.
Diamond drills was performed using the core of the HQ diameter. Core runs were collected every 3.0 m or less, measured with recovery and recorded for each run. Average recovery in reported intervals exceeded 99%. Kern was oriented with a Reflex ACT III tool, photographed (wet and dry) and laid down for lithology, change, mineralization and structure.
Sampling intervals for test were typically one meter long, defined by geological boundaries. Core was cut with a diamond saw, half-core archived and half-core submitted for analysis.
Test preparation and tests were carried out by Afrilab in Marrakech, an ISO-certified laboratory independent of the company. Samples were crushed to 70% that passed 2 mm, split to 250 g and pulverized to 85% that passed 75 urn. Golds Assays were performed using 50 g fire determination with an atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish. Over-limit provisions (> 5 g/t au) were again adopted with a gravimetric finish.
QA/QC program consisted of 8 reference materials (standards) and 8 spaces that were inserted at regular intervals by geologists. In addition, Laboratory QA/QC protocols include internal spaces, standards and duplicates, with performance reported to the exploratory team for Independent Review. No material QA/QC problems were noticed in the reported batches.
