In a comprehensive discussion at PDAC 2024, Edward Gosselin, CEO, Director, and Corporate Secretary of Kobo Resources Inc. (TSXV: KRI), shed light on the company’s strategic objectives and its recent advancements in gold exploration within Côte d’Ivoire, one of West Africa’s most prolific and developing gold districts, hosting several multi-million-ounce gold mines. Gosselin elucidated the company’s primary mission of showcasing their venture to prospective investors and operating companies, aiming to augment their capital for an expanded drill program. Emphasizing the concept of “closeology play,” Gosselin stated, “We’re less than 9 km away from one of the region’s largest gold mines with established processing facilities…it’s a no-brainer.” This strategic proximity underscores Kobo’s leverage in logistics and geological similarity, making it an attractive Brownfield project.

Kobo Resources Inc., with its 100%-owned Kossou Gold Project located near the capital city of Yamoussoukro and adjacent to the substantial Yaouré mine operated by Perseus Mining Limited (ASX: PRU | TSX: PRU), is poised for growth. The company’s focus on the Kossou Gold Project aims to delineate the potential size and scale of the discovery within a 9+ km strike length of highly prospective gold in soil geochemical anomalies. The completion of approximately 6,000 meters of RC drilling and 5,400 meters of trenching in 2023, with plans for further exploration in 2024, highlights significant gold mineralization within a potentially large mesothermal gold system. Christopher Ecclestone underscores the project’s strategic positioning in another InvestorNews interview with: “If Kobo strikes gold in commercial quantities, they’re going to be sort of a natural prey for Perseus to move upon to provide Perseus with extended mine life with Yaouré.”

The Kossou Gold Project’s promising initial exploration results and the upcoming Phase 2 Diamond Drilling in March 2024 signal the project’s vast potential. With a keen emphasis on rigorous exploration and the allure of significant gold anomalies, Kobo Resources Inc. represents a compelling investment opportunity, underscored by a seasoned leadership team with extensive in-country experience. The company’s strategic location and exploration prowess underscore its potential as a pivotal player in the gold-rich grounds of West Africa.

Wars, inflation, possible recessions, and a volatile world are all factors in 2023 that are helping to support the price of gold. Looking at the chart below gold continues to perform well over a long period of time.

The gold price is now at US$1,977/oz leading investors to search for well-valued gold miners, ideally those able to grow a resource and make it to production. Today’s company fits the bill with a recently announced good-sized resource in the safe jurisdiction of Canada.

Troilus Gold Corp.

Troilus Gold Corp. (TSX: TLG | OTCQX: CHXMF) (“Troilus”) is focused on bringing the former Troilus gold and copper mine back into production. Troilus has a strategic land position of 435 km² in the Frôtet-Evans Greenstone Belt in Quebec, Canada.

On October 16, 2023, Troilus announced an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for their Troilus Project. The result was an Indicated Resource of 11.21M Oz AuEq contained and Inferred Resource of 1.80M Oz AuEq contained, a massive 126% increase on the 2020 Resources estimate.

The Troilus gold-copper Project has a M&I Resource of 11.21 million ounces equivalent

Source: Troilus news October 16, 2023

An 11.21M Oz equivalent gold exploration-development stage project in Canada is quite rare and ranks Troilus as having one of the largest gold-copper resources of any junior miner in Canada. The lower grade of 0.69g/t AuEq is the main concern; however, a well-managed open pit project with a good scale can overcome this, especially in the case of Troilus where a lot of the infrastructure is already in place due to being a former mine. The upcoming Feasibility Study will be key to watch and to get a feel for the economics of the project, in particular the forecast operating expenses. The PEA used a hybrid underground/open pit design which is no longer applicable given the latest resource showed the vast majority of the resource is accessible via the open pit.

Troilus CEO Justin Reed comments:

“With an 11.21 Moz AuEq Indicated resource, we believe our project is firmly positioned among North America’s largest undeveloped gold-copper deposits. The definition of the Southwest Zone and the recently discovered X22 Zone has been especially rewarding, with these zones contributing close to 30% of the increased resource. We are also gratified with the excellent quality of the resource, with most of our ounces appearing in the Indicated category. Furthermore, almost the entirety of these contained ounces are classified as ‘open pit’, which will form a strong foundation for our upcoming Feasibility Study, expected to be completed in early 2024. We continue to advance and de-risk our asset with a clear strategic roadmap toward a production scenario, with the goal of ultimately delivering the most value to our shareholders.”

The Troilus Project benefits from being a brownfield project with large infrastructure already in place

Troilus states that due to being a former mine, there is ~US$350M in inherited value in terms of infrastructure already built. This is a huge advantage for a junior gold miner as it reduces the initial CapEx to reach production.

Closing remarks

Troilus Gold is one of those quiet-achieving companies that just sneaks up on you. They have grown their gold equivalent resource by 446% since acquiring the Troilus Project to the point where it is now one of the largest undeveloped (non-producing) gold equivalent resources in North America.

All eyes will be on the upcoming Feasibility Study, expected to be completed in early 2024.

Troilus Gold Corp. trades on a market cap of only C$82M and should definitely be on your radar.

In a recent InvestorNews interview with host Tracy Weslosky, Paul Sarjeant, President, COO, and Director of Kobo Resources Inc. (TSXV: KRI), shared exciting developments about their ongoing exploration program at the Kossou Gold Project located in one of West Africa’s most prolific gold districts.

Paul explained that Kobo has been aggressive in advancing its trenching program, with a keen focus on the newly discovered Kadie Zone, situated just west of the Jagger Zone. Kobo has reported impressive results from both the zones, confirming significant gold soil anomalies at the Kadie Zone and strong gold mineralisation over a strike length in excess of 1.4 kilometres at the Jagger Zone. Paul further added that the Kadie Zone has been elevated to drill-ready status as part the Company’s exploration strategy.

Citing their proximity to an existing gold mine, Paul discussed Kossou Gold Project’s significant potential for gold discovery, its strategic location, and existing infrastructure. As Kobo Resources continues its trenching program and prepares for drilling, Paul also provides an update on the timeline for a resource estimate on the project.

Romios Gold Resources Inc.‘s (TSXV: RG | OTCQB: RMIOF) (“Romios”) focus is on gold, copper and silver exploration in North America. Romios has a 100% interest in five properties in northwestern Ontario, Canada but their recent focus has been on their assets in Nevada, USA.

Therefore today’s article will give an update on Romios’ two projects in Nevada, the Kinkaid Gold-Copper-Silver Project and the Scossa Gold Project.

A summary of Romios’ assets spread across North America focusing on gold, copper and silver

The Kinkaid Gold-Copper-Silver Project (Nevada, USA) (100% owned)

The Kinkaid Project has dozens of old mine workings and prospect pits from the 1930s and ‘40s and includes the historic Montreal Gold-Silver mine.

Various prospecting over recent years has found a number of positive results including:

• In 2021, a small-scale historic mining operation on the southern claims assayed 212 g/t silver (6.8 oz/t Ag), 2.3% copper and 1 g/t gold.
• Chip and grab samples from two old trenches returned assays of 13.5 g/t gold and 4.34% copper from one trench and 5.8 to 36.3 g/t gold and 1.55% to 4.8% copper from another.
• Mineralized veins adjacent to garnet skarn workings (“P.M. Prospect”) on the northern claims also returned excellent results including 1,725 g/t silver (55 oz/t Ag), 6.9% zinc, 0.4% copper, plus lead, antimony, arsenic, and mercury.
• In May 2022, high-grade assays were reported from the southern claims of up to 17.9 g/t gold and 6.59% copper.
• 2023 exploration discovered three copper-bearing samples from the Dry Gulch #2 skarn in the NE corner of the Kinkaid claims assayed 1.1%, 7.2% and 16.55% copper across different intervals 20-40 cm wide.
• 2023 exploration from dumps at a previously unmapped old adit and shaft on a swarm of quartz-sulphide veins in the central Kinkaid claims returned gold assays of 2.4, 5.5 and 32.0 g/t gold and copper assays of 1.27% copper to 3.22% copper.

Romios stated in May 2023: “(Romios) commenced a program of detailed geological mapping and sampling across the Kinkaid property with emphasis on the numerous mineralized showings. Diamond drilling of several showings is anticipated in 2023.”

Romios stated in July 2023 that they intend to “further refine the geological model of the Kinkaid mineralization” and “at this point, various geophysical, geochemical and geological options are under consideration for detecting and outlining any possible porphyry/plutonic systems beneath the veins and skarn occurrences on the Kinkaid claims. Work at Kinkaid is expected to resume in September, 2023.”

The Scossa Gold Project (Nevada, USA) (100% owned)

The Scossa Gold Project covers a former high-grade gold mine that was in production from 1930-1941 and where historic drill programs intersected ‘bonanza’ (super high) grades over multiple meters.

What’s interesting is that past mining only reached as deep as 400 feet (~122 meters). Romios state that “large sections of multiple veins have not been drilled, and there are some newfound areas of potential vein development”.

Romios conducted drilling programs in 2002, 2003 and 2006, intersecting bonanza grade gold mineralization in several shallow holes including 3.35 m @ 180.2 g/t gold. There was also one rock chip sample assaying 25 g/t gold. Romios model shows a high potential target area down plunge of the past mining that has not been drilled and now becomes a high priority target of the next drill campaign.

One new area of potential vein development was found from an assay of 10.2 g/t Au which was returned from a sample of a >1 m wide quartz vein exposed 340 meters south along strike of the main veins at the historic Scossa Gold Mine site.

In a July 31, 2023 market update Romios stated:

“Several days were spent prospecting and mapping areas north and south along strike of the >700 m long epithermal vein system that produced high-grade gold ore averaging more than 1 ounce/ton (31.1 g/t) gold during mining operations in the 1930s……The 340-meter gap between the known veins and this new discovery is now considered highly prospective for extensions of the Scossa gold vein system and will be explored in the coming months through a combination of detailed geological mapping, soil sampling and hand-trenching where appropriate.“

Romios’ 2 Nevada projects (Kinkaid & Scossa) are within major mineral belts in Nevada, the world’s 4th largest gold producing region

Source: Company presentation

Closing remarks

Romios has recently completed fieldwork programs on the Kinkaid and Scossa Projects in Nevada. Both have returned encouraging results from new areas that have expanded the potential extent of both mineralized systems. Findings so far have included some good gold, copper, and silver grades. The next challenge is to discover larger mineralized zones that can be drilled and potentially produce some long drill lengths leading to a potential resource.

Meanwhile, Romios also has their numerous other projects, notably in Canada (details in an InvestorNews video here).

Romios Gold Resources trades on a market cap of only C$7 million, meaning any significant discovery can have a huge impact on the stock. One to follow in 2023.

In a recent interview with Investor.News host Tracy Weslosky, Paul Sarjeant, President, COO, and Director of Kobo Resources Inc. (TSXV: KRI), provides a compelling update on the company’s recent drilling achievements at the Kossou Gold Project in Cote d’Ivoire, West Africa. Paul revealed that Kobo drilled nearly 6,000 meters in under five weeks with assay results confirming strong gold mineralization.

Paul Sarjeant highlighted the success of their drilling program in the Jagger Zone which continues to show promising signs of gold mineralization, with high-grade zones boasting 10-15 grams of gold per ton. They’ve also made noteworthy progress in the Road Cut Zone, confirming significant gold mineralization with consistent grades.

Another key highlight discussed in the interview was the discovery of the Kadie Zone on which Kobo has identified strong geochemical anomalies with results of up to 6,000 parts per billion gold in soil. Paul said that plans are already in motion to explore this area further. To access the complete interview, click here

West Africa’s gold-rich terrains have long enticed mining aficionados from across the globe. Positioned at the forefront of the latest gold rush in this region is Kobo Resources Inc. (TSXV: KRI), a burgeoning exploration force that has recently unveiled some glittering discoveries in Côte d’Ivoire.

Having freshly debuted on the TSXV on March 31, 2023, Kobo, a junior Canadian exploration and mining development entity, is hard at work in the gold-laden landscapes of Côte d’Ivoire. This West African district, bounteous in its gold offerings, has become the cynosure for Kobo’s explorative gaze.

Rewind a bit, and you’d find that the momentum for Kobo began building up in November 2019. It was then that the company secured the ‘Kossou Permit’, a critical research validation synonymous with a mining claim in Côte d’Ivoire. This permit became the starting whistle for a series of aggressive exploration undertakings. Soil and rock sampling, meticulous geological mapping, and trenching activities were initiated, which led to the identification of several gold-rich zones. The Jagger Zone, in particular, emerged as a veritable treasure trove, revealing trench gold values of 6.42 g/t Au over a commendable 29.0 m stretch.

Fast forward to today, and Kobo has more golden news to share. Their recent press release offers a deep dive into the promising outcomes of their initial drilling at the Kossou Gold Project. This intense drilling phase, spanning 5,887 meters across 53 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes, was wrapped up in an impressive duration of less than five weeks. Two zones, the Road Cut Zone and the Jagger Zone, have emerged as the stars of this exploration story.

In the Road Cut Zone, an extensive 850 m strike has brought forth significant gold mineralisation, showcasing findings such as 8 m at 3.18 g/t Au and a longer stretch of 13 m at 2.10 g/t Au. Add to this the prospect of a 500 m stretch, ripe with gold geochemical hints, waiting to be delved into.

The Jagger Zone continues the narrative of abundance, with every drilled hole in its 1,400 m strike revealing gold mineralisation. The standout metric here is an impressive 6 m at 4.31 g/t Au.

However, the story doesn’t end here. Enter the Kadie Zone, Kobo’s latest point of focus, showcasing across a combined strike length of 750 m. Edward Gosselin, the CEO and Director of Kobo commended the geological team for the impressive results in such a brief time period.

Zooming out a bit, it’s essential to note the strategic positioning of the 100%-owned Kossou Gold Project. Nestled about 20 km northwest of Yamoussoukro, Côte d’Ivoire’s capital, the project is in good company, rubbing shoulders with one of the region’s premier gold mines, armed with state-of-the-art processing facilities.

As the calendar pages flip towards the latter part of 2023, Kobo is gearing up for additional drilling, aiming to spotlight significant gold zones just beneath the surface. With a rich portfolio of gold prospects and a leadership team seasoned in the nuances of in-country operations, Kobo is certainly shaping up to be a potential golden goose, indeed.

In a recent InvestorIntel interview, Tracy Weslosky spoke with Paul Sarjeant, the President, COO, and Director of Kobo Resources Inc. (TSXV: KRI) about insights into the exciting potential of Kobo’s mining project in West Africa. Located approximately 20 km northwest of the capital city of Yamoussoukro and directly adjacent to one of the region’s largest gold mines with established processing facilities, the excitement centers around Kobo’s discovery of an underexplored and promising gold mine opportunity adjacent to an operational one in Côte d’Ivoire — Kobo’s 100%-owned Kossou Gold Project.

Located in one of West Africa’s most prolific and developing gold districts and hosting several multi-million-ounce gold mines, Paul explains the significance of Kobo’s unexplored Kossou project. An accomplished geologist, Paul clarifies that for their team ‘closeology’ doesn’t mean simply buying adjoining properties; they’re looking for dominant Shear zones known for strong structures and promising mineralization opportunities.

It is starting to feel like the gold bulls are finding their voice again, as more and more seem to be appearing on the various business TV networks. Perhaps they are always on as frequently as they are now and I just haven’t noticed it, or maybe there is a new wave of hope for the ever-optimistic “gold bugs”.

I’ve heard a few of these experts proclaim that the price of gold mining stocks relative to gold has never been cheaper. I find that hard to believe, but equally hard to disprove without exerting a lot of effort, which I’m not about to do. So let’s assume that there is some merit to this claim and at the very least gold mining stocks are reasonably inexpensive on a relative basis to the price of gold. It may not be the most robust thesis, but it’s enough for me to look at a gold stock today.

That gold company is Kobo Resources Inc. (TSXV: KRI). Kobo is a newly listed (shares commenced trading on March 31, 2023) junior Canadian exploration and mining development company focused on acquiring, exploring and developing gold property assets located primarily in Côte d’Ivoire, one of West Africa’s most prolific and developing gold districts. This includes the Kossou Permit, which forms the basis of the Kossou Gold Project and the Kotobi Permit. The 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. The Company plans to unlock the potential size and scale of Kossou within a 9+ km strike length of highly prospective gold in soil geochemical anomalies with an immediate goal of defining significant near surface zones of gold mineralisation.

Just to be clear, newly listed doesn’t mean that Kobo is a new company (well it kinda does) with a brand new asset. As is common in the world of junior mining, Kobo is the result of a reverse takeover of a Capital Pool Corporation (CPC) by an existing, private mining company. To avoid confusion, we’ll simply assume that there is only one entity that was private and is now publicly traded called Kobo Resources.

In November 2019, the Company was awarded a research permit (the “Kossou Permit”), which is the Côte d’Ivoire equivalent of a mining lease or claim. Since then, Kobo has undertaken plenty of soil and rock sampling activities, as well as additional geological mapping and trenching activities. The Company has received the structural analysis of the various zones of interest discovered to date which includes potential drill targets. Kobo has confirmed the existence of a significant gold bearing structure at the Jagger Zone highlighted by trench gold values in the most westerly zone featuring 6.42 g/t Au over 29.0 m, while the second and more easterly shear zone featured 1.17 g/t Au over 27 m. The total strike length of the Jagger Zone, including untested geochemical anomalies, stands at 1.85 km and will be the primary target of the upcoming drill program.

Which gets us to the fun stuff. With all this data in hand and fresh off of raising C$4.6 million as part of a financing related to the reverse takeover, Kobo is now about to undertake its maiden drill program on the Kossou Gold Project. The Company announced yesterday (July 4^th) the commencement of an 8,000 metre reverse circulation (RC) drilling program which will be conducted in two phases. The first phase program will consist of 45 inclined boreholes ranging between 50 m and 230 m depth totaling 4,250 m. A total of 23 holes will be completed at Jagger (2,650 m), 10 holes at the Road Cut Zone (1,000 m), and 12 holes (600 m) in the Contact Zone. The second phase RC drilling totaling 3,750 m will be completed after a short pause in drilling in order to evaluate the results from Phase 1 and to plan the construction of additional drill platforms at the Jagger South Zone.

As I’ve noted before, I like companies that are cashed up and ready to drill and Kobo falls into that category. And apparently, I’m not alone, as the news that drilling was commencing vaulted Kobo’s share price northward by 28% yesterday. The next few weeks will determine if that optimism is warranted.

Kobo Resources trades at a market cap of C$30 million.

In this InvestorIntel interview, Tracy Weslosky talks with Vatic Ventures Corp.’s (TSXV: VCV | OTCQB: VCVVF) CFO Pieter Bakker about Vatic’s portfolio of gold and critical minerals projects in Canada. Pieter says that they are currently focused on their gold exploration property known as the Hansen prospect located in the Chibougamau area of northern Quebec but the company also has a critical minerals project in New Brunswick that includes copper, molybdenum, nickel, platinum group elements (PGE), rare earths (REE), tin, and tungsten.

The Hansen property is located in the northeast corner of the Matagami-Chibougamau Greenstone Belt and previous work delineated a mineralized zone 15 meters (m) wide over a strike length of 250m.

With an I.P. geophysical survey set to commence soon, followed by drilling on the Hansen Gold Project later on in the year, Pieter discusses that previous work on the project has shown exceptional gold values, including surface grab samples of 33.25 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) and 34.92 g/t Au, and drill intersections of 12.8 g/t Au over 1.05m, 7.94 g/t Au over 1.05m, and 75.29 g/t Au over 0.3m.

He remarks that the Hansen prospect is located in “the most promising area for gold exploration”, according to Quebec Geological Survey.
