Troilus Intercepts 2.44 g/t AuEq Over 23m Within Broader Zone of 1.79 g/t AuEq Over 36m; Extends High-Grade Zone to Surface in the Southwest Zone

Core Insights - Troilus Gold Corp. reported additional positive drill results from the Southwest Zone of its Troilus Project in Quebec, Canada, as part of its 2025 drill campaign aimed at identifying higher-grade mineralization and enhancing confidence in the block model [1][2][4] Southwest Highlights - The drill results indicate strong continuity of higher-grade mineralization at surface, which reinforces the potential to optimize and de-risk the Southwest Zone block model, covering the first five years of the mine plan [2][4] - Drill hole SW-25-681 returned 1.79 g/t AuEq over 36 meters, including 2.44 g/t AuEq over 23 meters, while SW-25-709 returned 1.52 g/t AuEq over 21 meters, including 3.09 g/t AuEq over 5 meters [6][8] - The high-grade core of the Southwest is hosted within transitional to tholeiitic brecciated pillow basalts, with significant mineralization signatures indicating Troilus as one of Canada's largest undeveloped gold-copper projects, with 11.21 million gold equivalent ounces in the indicated category and 1.80 million in the inferred category [7][19] Drilling Program - The drilling program at the Southwest Zone focused on defining high-grade zones for the early years of production, with results extending the enriched ore shoot to surface [5][6] - Drilling in the Southwest Zone is now complete, with assays pending for several holes, and the exploration team will shift focus to advancing near-site and regional field targets [8][9] Future Plans - The company plans to release remaining results in the coming weeks, which will further enhance confidence in the block model and help de-risk the early years of production [4][8] - The next phase of drilling is scheduled for the third quarter of 2025, with opportunities to expand on the highest-grade zones of the Southwest [9]
