Bringing Art, Youth, and Football Together: Kobo's Workshop in Kossou
Article content QUEBEC CITY — Kobo Resources Inc. (TSX.V: KRI): Article content Article content The Kobo Cup was created as a way to launch Kobo Resources' community engagement efforts in a way that felt local and genuinely rooted in the lives of the people we work alongside. In Côte d'Ivoire, as across much of Africa, football is more than a sport. It's a shared language, a daily ritual, and a powerful force that brings people together across generations. Article content Despite its modest scale, the Kobo Cup 2024 sparked something powerful. It proved that football could be more than a game; it could be a platform for community connection, for showcasing local identity and for inspiring youth. It showed us what's possible when we invest in more than just infrastructure, we invest in culture. Article content That initial match planted the seed for a bigger vision: to make the Kobo Cup an annual, community-rooted tournament that grows in both reach and impact each year. That's why, for the second edition of the Kobo Cup, Kobo Resources has stepped it up, transforming the single match into a dynamic multi-team tournament featuring the villages of Kossou, Bocabo, and Angossé, all located in the vicinity of Kobo's flagship property The Kossou Gold Project for the 2025 edition, scheduled for late November. This expansion reflects our ongoing commitment to community engagement and inclusion, ensuring more youth, more talent, and more villages get to take part in the celebration. Article content For 2025, we introduced a village jersey design workshop, allowing young people who may never play on the field to still be part of the tournament in a powerful way. Article content The Workshop Article content On Monday June 16 th, 2025 at the Kobo Camp situated on the Kossou License, creativity took center stage. A handful of young people from Kossou, Bocabo, and Angossé gathered for an inspiring art workshop, hosted by Kobo Resources in partnership with African Boyz Club, to design the official jerseys their villages will proudly wear at Kobo Cup 2025. Article content This workshop marked more than a moment of artistic expression. It was the beginning of something bigger: a celebration of identity, talent, and the belief that everyone, on and off the field, has a role to play in the story of their community. Article content The session began with freehand sketching. Pens, pencils, and blank pages quickly filled with bold symbols, vibrant colors, and personal visions, each design inspired by the history, culture, and energy of the youth's own communities. Article content The workshop was led by two Ivorian artists from African Boyz Club, who brought not only artistic expertise but a deep understanding of how art can empower. They guided the youth through a process that was both creative and intentional, encouraging them to think of their designs as visual representations of village pride, unity, and voice. Article content Each village's final jersey design was converted into a professional tech pack by Kobo's design team. These original creations will be produced and unveiled for the upcoming Kobo Cup tournament, bringing authenticity, pride, and ownership to the pitch like never before. Article content More Than a Match Article content At Kobo Resources, our commitment to community runs deeper than development. This initiative reflects our belief in youth empowerment, cultural expression, and meaningful local engagement. It's part of our broader Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) vision, one that celebrates not just what we do, but how and with whom we do it. Article content This entire journey, from creative expression in June to athletic excellence later this year, is enhanced by incredible local partnerships: Article content African Boyz Club, a company based in Abidjan, is leading the way in the youth workshop, offering creative guidance and mentorship as the children design jerseys and create transfer art rooted in their local experiences. Coast 2 Coast Entertainment is playing a key role in the tournament itself, by providing high-quality football equipment to every player across all participating teams. This ensures that when it's time to step on the pitch, every player is equally equipped and ready to play, no matter where they come from. Article content Together, these partners help Kobo Resources ensure that both the workshop and the tournament reflect our shared values: inclusion, fairness, and celebration of local talent. Article content Both partners, led by Ivorian men deeply connected to their communities, embody the spirit of the Kobo Cup: grassroots empowerment, local talent, and sustainable contribution. Through art they're helping transform the Kobo Cup into a space where creativity, culture, and sport intersect.

Kobo Resources Intersects 21.5 m at 1.14 g/t Au and 20.0 m at 1.41 g/t Au at the Jagger Zone and Files FY 2025 Financial Results
Article content All reported holes intersected gold mineralization, reinforcing continuity and improving structural understanding at the Jagger Zone Results support the Company's systematic exploration and targeting approach for further resource definition at Kossou Article content QUEBEC CITY — Kobo Resources Inc. (' Kobo' or the ' Company ') (TSX.V: KRI) is pleased to announce additional diamond drill results from the ongoing exploration program at its 100%-owned Kossou Gold Project (' Kossou ') in Côte d'Ivoire. Results from the Jagger Zone continue to confirm broad zones of mineralisation and extend the footprint of gold-bearing structures along strike and at depth. Article content Article content Diamond Drill Results – Highlights: Article content Jagger Zone: Article content Edward Gosselin, CEO and Director of Kobo commented: 'These latest results reinforce the scale and continuity of gold mineralisation at the Jagger Zone. We are encouraged by the width and tenor of the intercepts, which continue to validate our structural model and further support our systematic exploration approach at Kossou. With drilling still underway across our other high-priority targets, we are well-positioned to advance Kossou toward its maiden resource estimate next year as our exploration work continues.' Jagger Zone Drilling Highlights Scale and Continuity Results from seven diamond drill holes (KDD0080 to KDD0086), completed on sections JZ 525 to JZ 725 within the Jagger Zone, have been received and continue to expand the Company's understanding of this highly prospective target (see Figure 1). Article content Gold mineralisation is hosted within and along the contacts of quartz feldspar porphyry and diorite intrusions, as well as within sheared contacts of basaltic massive and pillowed flow units. These structures define significant, laterally and vertically continuous gold-bearing zones that are traceable along strike and down dip. Notably, wide mineralised intervals in hole KDD0084, including 8.0 m at 1.41 g/t Au from 88.0 m and 21.5 m at 1.14 g/t Au* from 106.0 m (see Figure 2), demonstrate the presence of multiple stacked gold zones across the broader Jagger Shear Zone. Article content On section JZ 700, gold mineralisation continues to demonstrate strong continuity and consistent geological associations observed in earlier drilling. Notable intercepts include 20.0 m at 1.41 g/t Au* from 106.0 m, including 5.0 m at 3.70 g/t Au, and 7.0 m at 1.20 g/t Au from 154.0 m. These results support the broader interpretation of the Jagger Shear Zone as a robust, multi-zone gold system and correlate well with previously reported drill holes and surface trench KTR030a (see Figure 3 for Section JZ 700.) Article content Geological and Structural Setting of Gold Mineralisation at Kossou and the Jagger Zone Article content Gold mineralisation at Kossou is hosted within a N-S trending, steeply west-dipping deformation corridor associated with the regional Contact Zone Fault, which separates basaltic volcanic flows from volcano-sedimentary rocks. Within this corridor, the 'Jagger Shear Corridor', brittle-ductile shear zones act as the primary structural controls on gold emplacement, particularly where lithological contrasts occur between basaltic units and intrusive rocks, including diorite and quartz-feldspar porphyry dykes. Article content At the Jagger Zone, the main shear system is developed within a zone approximately 70-m wide and is closely associated with intrusive contacts. Drill core analysis has identified multiple quartz vein generations related to mineralisation. The V1 vein set consists of quartz veins and veinlets parallel to the S1 foliation, commonly occurring within the main shear zones and bearing gold. The dominant mineralized structures, however, are V2A veins, which trend west-northwest to northwest and are prominent both within and adjacent to the shears. A secondary vein set, V2B, is characterized by sub-horizontal hairline fractures and veinlets, which carry only sporadic gold mineralisation. Article content Drilling to date indicates that gold mineralisation pinches and swells along strike and at depth, consistent with structurally controlled orogenic gold systems commonly found within the Birimian terrane of West Africa. Article content Table 1: Summary of Significant Diamond Drill Hole Results Article content An accurate dip and strike and controls of mineralisation are unconfirmed at this time and the true width of mineralisation are unconfirmed at this time. Drill holes are planned to intersect mineralised zones perpendicular to interpreted targets. All intercepts reported are downhole distances. Article content The Company also reports the filing of its audited consolidated financial statements for the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2025, and related management's discussion and analysis. Copies of these financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis can be found on the Company's issuer profile on SEDAR+ at as well as on the Company's website at Article content Sampling, QA/QC, and Analytical Procedures Article content 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 HQ to below oxidation level and then is reduced to NQ for the remainder of the drill 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 (split of the 1 m original sample) every 20 samples. All QAQC control samples returned values within acceptable limits. Article content Review of Technical Information Article content The scientific and technical information in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Paul Sarjeant, who is a Qualified Persons as defined in National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Sarjeant is the President and Chief Operating Officer and Director of Kobo. Article content About Kobo Resources Inc.

Drill holes are planned to intersect mineralised zones perpendicular to interpreted targets. All intercepts reported are downhole distances. The Company also reports the filing of its audited consolidated financial statements for the twelve-month period ended March 31, 2025, and related management's discussion and analysis. Copies of these financial statements and related management's discussion and analysis can be found on the Company's issuer profile on SEDAR+ at as well as on the Company's website at 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 HQ to below oxidation level and then is reduced to NQ for the remainder of the drill 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 (split of the 1 m original sample) every 20 samples. All QAQC control samples returned values within acceptable limits.

The Company's 100%-owned Kossou Gold Project is located approximately 20 km northwest of the capital city of Yamoussoukro and is directly adjacent to one of the region's largest gold mines with established processing facilities. With over 15,000 metres of diamond drilling, nearly 5,900 metres of reverse circulation (RC) drilling, and 5,900 metres of trenching completed since 2023, Kobo has made significant progress in defining the scale and prospectivity of its Kossou's Gold Project. Exploration has focused on multiple high-priority targets within a 9+ km strike length of highly prospective gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies, with drilling confirming extensive mineralisation at the Jagger, Road Cut, and Kadie Zones. The latest phase of drilling has further refined structural controls on gold mineralisation, setting the stage for the next phase of systematic exploration and resource development. Beyond Kossou, the Company is advancing exploration at its Kotobi Permit and is actively expanding its land position in Côte d'Ivoire with prospective ground, aligning with its strategic vision for long-term growth in-country.
