Stellar AfricaGold - Tichka Est Gold Project Momentum Builds as Technical Program Advances; High-Grade Rock Sample of 218.15 g/t Au Returned Between Zones A and B
(TheNewswire)
Vancouver, British Columbia – April23, 2025 - TheNewswire– Stellar AfricaGold Inc. (TSX-V: SPX | FSE: 6YP | TGAT: 6YP)(“Stellar” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an updateon its ongoing technical work program at the Tichka Est Gold Projectin Morocco. The Company is pursuing a fully integrated,multi-disciplinary exploration program aimed at refining drilltargeting and advancing geological understanding of the three priorityexploration areas identified to date, namely zones A, B and C.
The Company also reports the identification of a high-grade rocksample returning 218.33 g/tAu, collected from a system of discontinuous quartz veinslocated between Zones A and B.
Integrated technical programunderway combining 3D geological modelling, structuralanalysis, remote sensing, and geochemistry.
Drone topographic survey toimprove the accuracy of 3D model and planning of the upcoming drillcampaign.
Viridien Group (UK) engaged to deliver advanced hyperspectral and remote sensing interpretation.
Arethuse Geology (France) appointed to lead structural analysis and support developmentof the 3D geological model.
Strategic collaboration withMohammed VI Polytechnic University (“UM6P”) for core scanning, analytical workflows,and advanced geoscience studies.
Program designed to refine targeting ahead of aplanned 5,000-metre drillcampaign.
High-grade rock sample of218.33 g/t Au collected within a dyke structure between Zones Aand B.
Following completion of its inaugural drilling campaign, Stellarlaunched a comprehensive and integrated technical program aimed atconsolidating all available datasets into a robust geological andstructural framework.
The program combines internal expertise with leading externalpartners:
Remote sensing (Viridien): High-resolution spectral and structuralinterpretation to delineate lithological variability, alterationfootprints, and regional structural architecture
Structural geology & 3D modelling (Arethuse): Development of arefined structural framework and integrated 3D geological modelincorporating drilling, mapping, and geophysical datasets
Academic collaboration (UM6P): Deployment of advanced core scanningtechnologies (e.g., hyperspectral, geochemical imaging) and supportfor analytical workflows, data processing, and research integration
Core components of the program include:
3D litho-structural modelling integrating drilling, mapping,geophysics, and geochemistry
Field validation including outcrop mapping, structural measurements,and core re-logging
Multi-scale remote sensing analysis to identify alteration systems andstructural corridors
Multi-element geochemical analysis and vectoring
Database validation and integration to support targeting workflows
This integrated approach is designed to significantly enhance theunderstanding of structural controls on gold mineralization andsupport the identification of high-priority drill targets across ZonesA, B, and C.
The Company reports results from a series of selective rock samplescollected across Zones A, C, and the corridor between Zone A and B.

Drone-Based Topographic Survey
As part of its ongoing technical program, Stellar has commissioned ahigh-resolution drone-based topographic survey over approximately 6.5km² (650 hectares) of priority drill areas within the Tichka EstProject. The survey is being conducted at low altitude (approximately120 m flight elevation) to generate high-resolution terrain data.
The program includes aerial acquisition, data processing, and qualitycontrol (QA/QC), with key deliverables comprising:
High-resolution orthophotography (GeoTIFF)
Digital Terrain Model (DTM) and Digital Surface Model (DSM)
3D point cloud datasets (LAS/LAZ)
Topographic contours and GIS-compatible outputs (SHP, DXF)
Georeferenced datasets supporting drillhole collar positioning andfield integration
These datasets are expected to significantly enhance topographiccontrol, structural interpretation, and 3D geological modelling, andwill be fully integrated into the Company’s exploration database.

The ongoing technical program is designed to:
Refine the geological and structural model of the Tichka Est Project.
Identify and prioritize additional mineralized corridors across thepermit area.
Define drill-ready targets for the planned 5,000-metre diamonddrilling campaign, with focus on structurally favorable zones.
Technical Disclosure and QA/QC
Rock samples were collected by Stellar’s on-site team of geologists.Sample preparation and gold assaying were performed by Afrilab inMarrakech, an ISO-certified laboratory independent of the Company.Samples were crushed to 70% passing 2 mm, split to 250 g, andpulverized to 85% passing 75 ?m. Gold assays were performed using 50g fire assay with an atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish.Over-limit assays (>5 g/t Au) were re-assayed with gravimetricfinish.
About the Tichka Est Gold Project
The Tichka Est Gold Project comprises seven permits coveringapproximately 82 km² in the High Atlas region of Moroccoapproximately 90 km south of Marrakech. Under an earn-in agreementwith Morocco’s National Office for Hydrocarbons and Mining (ONHYM),Stellar can earn an 85% interest after incurring explorationexpenditures totaling US$2.39M (C$3.5M) over three years.
Exploration to date has identified three gold-bearing zones (Zones A,B, and C), with Zone B representing the most advanced area followingrecent drilling. Gold mineralization is associated with structurallycontrolled systems linked to diorite intrusions and carbonate hostrocks.
