Diamond Drill Results Highlights:

Road Cut Zone:

• KDD0095
  • 17.0 metres (‘m’) at 3.87 g/t Au from 22.0, including 9.0 m at 6.84 g/t Au, from 23.0 m
• KDD0098
  • 6.0 m at 1.48 g/t Au from 157.0 m
• KDD0099
  • 5.0 m at 2.82 g/t Au from 170.0 m (Contact Zone Target)

Jagger Zone

• KDD0096
  • 4.0 m at 1.48 g/t Au from 21.0 m
  • 3.0 m at 2.34 g/t Au from 31.0 m
  • 5.0 m at 1.41 g/t Au from 106.0 m
• KDD0097
  • 4.0 m at 2.30 g/t Au from 240.0 m
  • 6.0 m at 1.52 g/t Au from 350.0 m

These results represent the first six holes from Kobo’s ongoing 12,000–15,000 m diamond drilling program launched on September 4, 2025. The current campaign is focused on systematically expanding known mineralized zones at the Jagger and Road Cut Zones while testing the interpreted structural corridor that links them. Drilling is also continuing to evaluate the Contact Zone Fault ‘( CZ Fault ‘), an important regional structure believed to provide deep fluid pathways for gold mineralisation at Kossou.

Edward Gosselin, CEO and Director of Kobo commented: ‘The latest intersections continue to demonstrate the strength of gold mineralisation within the Road Cut and Jagger structural zones. These results are confirming the continuity of gold-bearing shears and the importance of the Contact Zone Fault as a potential regional control on mineralisation. Particularly, the consistency of gold mineralisation at the Jagger Zone, from surface to greater than 180 m depth, highlights the continuity and strength of the system.’ He continued: ‘Ongoing drilling will allow us to further test these controls, define extensions along strike and at depth, and continue building a comprehensive geological model for Kossou as we progress toward a maiden Resource Estimate on the project.’

Road Cut Zone Highlights

KDD0095, KDD0098, and KDD0099 were drilled along a 150-metre strike length on Sections RCZ500, RCZ600, and RCZ650 (see Figure 1 for drill-hole locations). Full assay results are presented in Table 1 .

The most significant intersection was returned from KDD0095 on Section RCZ500, averaging 17.0 m at 3.87 g/t Au from 22.0 m, including 9.0 m at 6.84 g/t Au from 23.0 m (see Figure 2 and Figure 3). This intercept occurs approximately 20 m beneath artisanal workings and is hosted within a shear zone previously intersected in KDD0012 (11.0 m at 1.71 g/t Au) and KDD0091 (15.55 m at 2.30 g/t Au) . The shear zone parallels the main CZ Fault and lies roughly 60 m west of this structure, suggesting a close spatial and structural relationship.

KDD0098 , drilled on Section RCZ600 , intersected 6.0 m at 1.48 g/t Au from 157.0 m within a shear zone exhibiting typical alteration and quartz veining approximately 12.0 m from the CZ Fault. The mineralisation occurs about 120.0 m below surface. Several additional lower-grade intervals were also intersected within 50.0 m of the CZ Fault in sheared basalt (see Figure 4).

KDD0099 , located approximately 50 m south of KDD0098 on Section RCZ650, intersected 5.0 m at 2.82 g/t Au from 170.0 m directly on the CZ Fault, confirming the presence of gold mineralisation along this important regional structure (see Figure 5).

The intensity of shearing, alteration and quartz veining in the three drill holes in the vicinity of the artisanal mine and CZ Fault is very encouraging for further gold mineralisation and will be further tested with additional diamond drilling.

Jagger Zone Highlights

KDD0094 , KDD0096 , and KDD0097 were drilled on Section JZ600 to evaluate the core mineralisation previously identified and to test the continuity of Structure JZ6 near surface and at depth (see Figures 6 and 7).

KDD0096 intersected 5.0 m at 1.41 g/t Au associated with Structure JZ6, approximately 65 m below surface. KDD0097 , which targeted the 8.0 m at 3.72 g/t Au intersection in KDD0028 at depth, returned 2.0 m at 0.58 g/t Au . Drilling confirms that well-defined shears extend to at least 240 m below surface, with gold grades corresponding to the density of quartz veining within these structures.

Additional intersections of 4.0 m at 2.30 g/t Au and 6.0 m at 1.52 g/t Au in KDD0097 , associated with Structures JZ1 and JZ4 respectively, demonstrate good continuity between 150 m and 180 m depth along the shear zones. These results further validate the Company’s structural model, indicating that gold mineralisation is hosted within a series of steep, westerly dipping shears closely associated with quartz-feldspar porphyry and diorite intrusives within the basaltic volcanic sequence.

Next Steps: Progressing the 2025 Drill Program and Advancing Resource Definition at Kossou

To date, the Company has completed nine diamond drill holes (2,016 m) of a planned 15-hole program (3,600 m) at the Road Cut Zone, and eight holes (2,820 m) of 23 planned holes (11,300 m) at the Jagger and Jagger South Zones. Two drill rigs remain active on site, with drilling continuing to test extensions along strike and at depth across both zones.

Geological modelling of the Jagger and Road Cut Zones is ongoing, with new data being integrated to refine the Company’s structural interpretation and support the definition of mineralized envelopes in advance of Kossou’s maiden mineral resource estimate.

Table 1: Summary of Significant Diamond Drill Hole Results

An accurate dip and strike and controls of mineralisation are unconfirmed and mineralised zones are reported as downhole lengths. Drill holes are planned to intersect mineralised zones perpendicular to interpreted targets. All intercepts reported are downhole distances as true width is unknown.

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 using HQ core barrels to below the level of oxidation and then reduced to NQ core barrels for the remainder of the bore 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 every 20 samples. All QAQC control samples returned values within acceptable limits.

Homerun Resources Inc. (TSXV: HMR,OTC:HMRFF) (OTCQB: HMRFF) (‘Homerun’ or the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce that our technical partners in the Belmonte (BA) Solar Glass Manufacturing project have confirmed that the exceptional purity of the silica sand from the Company’s resources in the Santa Maria Eterna District will allow the Company to offer customers a portfolio of solar glass that is 100% free of added antimony compounds.

In traditional solar glass manufacturing, antimony improves refining, prevents oxidation of iron ions, resulting in higher transmittance and fewer defects. However, the global solar industry is at an inflection point. Concerns are rising about the environmental toxicity and recyclability challenges posed by antimony, a heavy metal flagged by the USEPA as hazardous at even minuscule concentrations. Leading regulatory bodies in Europe and the U.S. are increasingly emphasizing antimony-free standards for solar glass, with Germany’s latest PV manufacturing guidelines and the EU’s Ecolabel directive setting new environmental boundaries for imported and locally produced panels.

Homerun’s technical partners advise that the Company will produce solar glass that is 100% free of added antimony from the initiation of production. Equipment and furnace design are already prepared, with the same or less CAPEX required. Operational adjustments are minor and within the existing specifications and should result in reduced OPEX since antimony substitutes are less costly. This is only possible because of the exceptionally low oxidizable iron ions levels, below 20ppm, of the Company’s HPQ silica sand in Santa Maria Eterna, Belmonte, Bahia, Brazil.

Bans and restrictions on antimony use in solar glass are increasing global demand for high-purity, low-iron silica sand as glassmakers shift to safer, more sustainable feedstocks that can deliver the required optical clarity and durability without chemical additives. As antimony-free manufacturing becomes the industry standard, only silica sand with extremely low iron content is suitable for premium solar glass. This should add demand and add increased value in the marketplace for these scarce low iron feedstocks.

This innovation comes at a crucial moment for the global solar sector. Demand for cleaner PV technologies is soaring, as industry analysts anticipate solar module and glass waste volumes reaching 1.5-1.7 million tons by 2030, with antimony residues presenting long-term risks for people and ecosystems. The ability to supply 100% antimony-free solar glass positions Homerun Resources as a market leader delivering both superior performance and uncompromising health and environmental standards and developing complete recycling toward a true circular solar economy.

‘Starting our operations without adding antimony represents a decisive economic and environmental milestone for Homerun. By leveraging the exceptional purity of our silica sand resources, we can combine cutting-edge technology with the highest standards of environmental responsibility, positioning the Company as a leader in the global solar glass industry,’ stated Odir Pedrazzi, Vice-President of Operations for Homerun.

Independent test results from institutions like Switzerland’s SPF confirm that antimony-free solar glass offers the highest efficiency and resilience against photo-degradation among all major glass formats. [1]

Golconda Gold Ltd. (‘Golconda Gold’ or the ‘Company’) (TSX-V: GG; OTCQB: GGGOF) is pleased to announce production of 3,588 ounces of gold for the third quarter of 2025 (‘Q3’) at its Galaxy Gold Mine (‘Galaxy’), an 18% increase in gold production compared to Q2 2025 and a 51% increase compared to Q3 2024.

The Q3 production numbers are as follow:

Golconda Gold CEO, Ravi Sood commented: ‘Galaxy achieved record gold production in Q3, totalling 3,588 ounces of gold, an 18% increase on Q2 2025 and a 51% increase on Q3 2024. This was largely due to increased ore mined from the Princeton orebody, increasing 81% compared to Q2 2025 due to commencing mining at the Princeton Top section during the quarter. Production in the first three quarters of 2025 is 74% ahead of the same period in 2024. With the materially higher gold price, the Company is generating significant operational cash flow and continues to de-leverage its balance sheet and invest in further expansion at Galaxy, including refurbishment of the existing sub-vertical shaft and associated infrastructure to allow mining on a second level at the Galaxy ore body by the end of 2025, adding an additional ore source to the processing plant, which has significant spare capacity ¹ .’
