Edward Gosselin, CEO and Director of Kobo commented: \u2018Again, we are extremely pleased with the overall interest of investors which have subscribed to our upsized non-brokered financing and the confidence placed in Kobo\u2019s exploration and project development strategy. Furthermore, LUSO Global Mining has participated in this second tranche of financing as well to maintain its 9.9% interest in the Company.\u2019 <\/p>\n

3L Capital and Integrity Capital Group (together, the \u2018 Advisors \u2018) acted as financial advisors in connection with the Offering. <\/p>\n

Each Warrant entitles its holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.55 per share until September 10, 2027. <\/p>\n

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to pursue its exploration initiatives initiated in H1-2025 and extend the known zones of mineralisation at its three main targets, the Road Cut Zone, Jagger Zone and Kadie Zone on the Kossou Gold Project, initiate preliminary metallurgical work and further develop its ongoing soil geochemical and trenching survey at Kossou as well as to enhance the geological exploration program on the Kotobi research permit and for general corporate and working capital purposes. <\/p>\n
