Stellar Africagold Updates Ongoing Exploration and Drilling Activities at the Tichka Est Gold Project, Morocco
(TheNewswire)
Vancouver, BC – TheNewswire- December 2, 2025 Stellar AfricaGold Inc. (“Stellar” or the “Company”) is pleased to providean update on the exploration and drilling program at Tichka Est GoldProject in the High Atlas of Morocco.
Summary of drilling progress todate:
7 diamond drill holes completed, totaling 1,218metres
Average drilling rate of 11 meters per day
Drill progress suffered minor adverse impacts causedby:
intermittent wet weather events impacting access roadsand drill pad degradation requiring limited remediation,
cementing of fractured zones in certain drill holes,and
minor mechanical delays
Status of drill holes:
3 drill holes have been fully assayed, including TCK1(See news release October 2,2025 for details of TCK1 assay results), which intersected multiple gold-bearingintervals ( 13 meters of 6.12g/t Au including 2 meters of 22.28 g/t Au , and 16 meters of1.98 g/t Au including 1 meter of 11.55 g/t Au) and confirmed that mineralization continues more than 100metres beyond the nearest high-grade trench
3 drill holes have been sampled and are currently atAfrilab, an ISO-certified laboratory in Marrakech, foranalysis.
1 drill hole is pending transport from Tichka Estproject site to Afrilab for analysis.
2 final drill holes remain and will complete thecurrent 1,500 meters drill program.
All pending assays results will be released once theyare received, validated, compiled, analysed and integrated into thegeological working model.
Geological Context
The current drill campaign was designed to test severalgeological targets within Zone B, a structurally favorable domainsituated at the intersection of two major regional faultsystems:
Tizgui Fault Zone (NE-striking) and
Arg-Erdouz Fault Zone (ENE-striking).
According to the structural assessment completed by Dr.David Selley (August 2025), this intersection forms a transpressivedomain characterized by enhanced brittle deformation, vertical/lateralescape structures, and pervasive hydrothermal fluid circulation .These conditions have localized gold-bearing quartz-carbonate–sulphide veins preferentially withinfractured diorite sills hosted within carbonate strata. (See Figure 1below).
On a regional scale Zone B represented a significantstructural intersection, between the Tizgui and Arg-Erdouz faultswhich created a Y-shaped trap that focussed gold-bearing hydrothermalfluids. This setting, linked to deep structures around the Tichkagranite, generated intense fracturing and the deposition of high-gradegold veins in favourable carbonate and diorite hosts. In essence,Structure B exhibited as an exceptional structural trap site for goldmineralisation.
Figure 1. The geological map illustrates the largegranite intrusive (red) associated with gold-rich hydrothermal fluidswhich were focussed into the region associated with the intersecting‘Y’ faults (white lines) depositing gold at Zone B.
Field observations and on-site core logging continue tovalidate the drill targeting model, with mineralization identifiedvisually in:
Diorite sill contacts,
Shear structures along the Tizgui zone,
The Arg-Erdouz structural trend, and
Repeated diorite intrusions within the transpressivecorridor.
These preliminary findings strengthen/reinforce thegeological rationale for continued systematic drilling across ZoneB.
2.Geological Interpretation and 3D Modelling.
The Company has initiated a major update of the geological andstructural model to integrate newdrilling information, rock mechanics observations, and historicaldatasets.
The structural interpretation is ongoing as drilling iscontinuing. Preliminary integration suggests:
Gold distribution is strongly structurally andrheologically controlled,
The most favourable settings occur where brittledioritic intrusions intersect ductile carbonate units,
Multiple drill intercepts visually confirmquartz–ankerite–arsenopyrite vein arrays,
Shear-zone intercepts visually display evidence offocused hydrothermal fluid circulation, consistent with the regionaldeformation architecture.
These elements will be refined within the updatedLeapfrog 3D model.
Over the coming weeks, the Company will:
Integrate all drill assays and structuralmeasurements,
Update lithological and alteration models, and
Prioritize targets for the next drillcampaign.
“We are very pleased with thetechnical progress achieved thus far during this campaign. Earlydrilling results confirm the strength of the structural model and thepotential to expand mineralized zones within and beyond the ZoneB-structural corridor. Following the successful completion of ourrecent private placement, Stellar is well-positioned to accelerateboth drilling and regional exploration. We look forward to deliveringadditional updates as assays and modelling work advance.”

About the Tichka Est GoldProject
The Tichka Est Gold Project comprises seven permitscovering an area of 82km 2 located in the High Altas region of Moroccoapproximately 90km south of Marrakech. Under an earn-in agreement withMorocco’s National Office for Hydrocarbons and Mining (ONYHM)Stellar can earn an 85% interest after incurring explorationexpenditures totaling US$2.39M (C$3.5M) over three years.
To date early-stage exploration (mapping, sampling,trenching and a small first pass RC drill program) has identifiedthree gold-bearing zones: Zone A extending over 450 meters alongstrike, Zone B: extending over two kilometers along strike and Zone Cextending over two kilometers along strike. Additionally, regionalstream sediment sampling over a 12 km2 area surrounding the threeknown gold zones identified numerous other metal anomalous zones thatwarrant further mapping and sampling. In total the following regionshave been highlighted: 6 zones anomalous for gold, 5 zones anomalousfor silver, 2 zones anomalous for copper and 3 zones anomalous forlead and zinc. Most areas of the seven permits have never received anymodern exploration.
