Stellar AfricaGold - Regolith Mapping and Lidar Survey Commenced at Zuenoula Gold Project, Cote d'ivoire

Core Viewpoint - Stellar AfricaGold Inc. is advancing its exploration strategy at the Zuénoula Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire through a detailed regolith mapping and high-resolution LiDAR survey program, which aims to enhance understanding of gold dispersion patterns and refine drilling targets [7][8]. Exploration Update - SEMS Exploration Côte d'Ivoire SARL has been engaged for an integrated regolith mapping, rock chip sampling, and high-resolution LiDAR survey at the Zuénoula Project [1]. - The regolith mapping program will utilize field traverses, rock chip sampling, and integration with soil geochemistry and remote sensing data [2]. - A UAV LiDAR survey covering approximately 21 km² will generate high-resolution Digital Terrain Models (DTM) and orthophoto imagery to support structural interpretation and target generation [3][4]. Technical Details - The LiDAR survey will be conducted using a DJI Matrice RTK drone with a Zenmuse L2 LiDAR sensor, achieving a point density of approximately 94 points/m² and horizontal and vertical accuracies of 5 cm and 4 cm, respectively [4][18]. - The combined programs are designed to refine structural interpretation, improve regolith understanding, and prioritize future drilling targets within the Zuénoula permit area [5][20]. Project Background - The Zuénoula Gold Project is a joint venture between Stellar's Ivorian subsidiary Aucrest SARL and MetalsGrove Mining Ltd, covering an area of 395.78 square kilometers [7][21]. - MetalsGrove can earn up to a 50% interest in the project by incurring US$3,000,000 in exploration expenditures and up to an 80% interest by incurring a total of US$6,000,000 [7]. Management Commentary - Stellar's President and CEO, J. François Lalonde, emphasized that the commencement of detailed regolith mapping and high-resolution LiDAR surveying is a significant step in advancing the exploration strategy for the Zuénoula Gold Project [8].
