Zodiac Gold Spots Gold & Critical Minerals in Liberia's Mining Boom - streetwisereports.com

AI desk brief

Zodiac Gold reported soil-sampling results from 530 km of its Liberian licenses showing coherent multi-kilometer anomalies in gold, nickel, cobalt, chromium and copper, with peak pXRF readings of 686 ppm Ni, 894 ppm Co, 3,368 ppm Cr and 512 ppm Cu. The program also flagged coincident gold-arsenic trends over as much as 2.5 km and gold values up to 1.16 g/t, which Zodiac says will guide follow-up sampling, trenching and drilling ahead of a targeted resource estimate by year-end 2026.

The article frames the work within Liberia’s mining resurgence: iron ore output is projected at 25-30 million tons in 2026, supported by ArcelorMittal’s expansion and infrastructure upgrades, while nearly 80% of the country is said to remain underexplored. It also notes proposed changes to Liberia’s mining framework that could increase state participation and alter licensing/mineral-rights terms, though Zodiac stresses its results are early-stage and not yet evidence of an economic deposit.
