Ankh Resources strikes strong near-surface gold–copper at Wadi Dara

Ankh Resources Limited (“Ankh” or the “Company”) has delivered a strong start to exploration at its Wadi Dara Concession, reporting encouraging results from the first two surface trenches at Target Area B.

The program has confirmed robust near-surface gold–copper (“Au–Cu”) mineralisation, reinforcing the case for follow-up exploration and targeted drilling across the area.

The results underline the presence of a structurally controlled Au–Cu system, with multiple mineralised zones intersected. Broad anomalous envelopes containing higher-grade internal intervals demonstrate both scale and intensity, while also pointing to strong continuity along strike.

Significant Assay Results Strengthen Exploration Confidence

Assay results have now been received for channel samples from trenches TRB001 and TRB002, completed over a combined length of 2,098 metres at Target Area B, Wadi Dara Prospect.

Trench TRB001 delivered particularly impressive grades:

• 11.3m @ 8.03 grammes per tonne gold (“g/t”) Au and 0.80% Cu, including a high-grade core of 5.3m @ 16.8 g/t Au and 1.6% Cu.

• 3.2m @ 4.65 g/t Au and 1.50% Cu.

• Broad mineralised envelopes including 41m @ 0.15 g/t Au and 0.23% Cu, 50.7m @ 0.08 g/t Au and 0.34% Cu (Zone L2), and 51.9m @ 0.11 g/t Au and 0.17% Cu.

These results confirm both high-grade potential and substantial mineralised widths, highlighting the strength of the system near surface.

Trench TRB002 further extended the mineralised footprint:

• 10.0m @ 2.63 g/t Au and 0.42% Cu, including 2.0m @ 12.85 g/t Au and 1.98% Cu.

• 11.8m @ 0.93 g/t Au and 0.36% Cu, including 2.9m @ 3.26 g/t Au and 0.80% Cu.

• 16.5m @ 0.21 g/t Au and 0.85% Cu, including 5.0m @ 0.56 g/t Au and 1.6% Cu.

Together, the trenches reveal extensive mineralised corridors and confirm lateral continuity of the system.

Trench results are reported as sampled lengths measured along the trench exposure. The true width of the mineralisation depends on the orientation of the mineralised structures relative to the trench and is refined through detailed structural measurements undertaken during trench sampling and geological mapping. Standard industry QA/QC procedures have been applied to the trench sampling program, including the insertion of blanks, certified reference materials (CRMs), and field duplicates.

Management Commentary

“Trenches TRB001 and TRB002 were excavated across the structural corridors of Target Area B to test the extension and lateral continuity of the outcropping mineralised zones ahead of subsurface drilling. The trenches form a strategic component of the exploration program and have successfully exposed multiple broad, near-surface zones of significant copper–gold mineralisation. Trench TRB001 returned an exceptional high-grade interval, particularly at its southwestern end, while Trench TRB002 confirms the strike extension of the mineralised zones intersected in TRB001.

“These results, derived from surface trenching, demonstrate substantial widths and clear continuity of copper–gold mineralisation. The well-defined structural controls observed in the trenches strongly support the interpretation of a robust and well-developed hydrothermal system. We are highly encouraged by these findings, which delineate compelling drill targets for the upcoming subsurface program”

Clear Path Toward Subsurface Drilling

The trenching campaign at Target Area B represents a pivotal step in unlocking the potential of the Wadi Dara Concession. The confirmation of significant gold–copper mineralisation at surface, combined with defined structural controls and strike continuity, sets the stage for a focused subsurface drilling program.

With high-grade cores embedded within broad mineralised zones and consistent geological indicators across both trenches, Ankh has outlined compelling targets that could meaningfully expand the project’s resource potential in the next phase of exploration.
