Trident Resources Intersects 7.28 g/t Au over 15.0m including 16.69 g/t Au over 6.0m as well as 4.43 g/t Au over 39.5m at the Contact Lake Gold Project in Northern Saskatchewan; Large Winter Drill Program Forthcoming

Core Viewpoint - Trident Resources Corp. has reported positive results from its diamond drill program at the Contact Lake Project, indicating substantial gold mineralization and plans for a follow-up winter drill program [1][2]. Summary of Drilling Results - The first thirteen holes of the drill program intersected significant gold mineralization, with all holes showing broad zones of shearing and alteration at shallow depths [2][4]. - Notable results include: - Hole CL25006: 7.28 g/t gold over 15.0m, including 16.69 g/t over 6.0m [2][14]. - Hole CL25007: 4.43 g/t gold over 39.5m, including 5.76 g/t over 15.5m [2][14]. - Hole CL25005: 5.66 g/t gold over 5.94m, including 42.95 g/t over 2.55m [2][14]. - Hole CL25008: 7.41 g/t gold over 6.0m [2][14]. - The drilling has confirmed the continuity of mineralization outside the historical mine footprint, suggesting significant untapped potential [2][3]. Financial Position and Future Plans - Trident is fully funded for the upcoming winter drill program with over $12 million in cash and marketable securities [2][3]. - The company aims to aggressively follow up on the initial drilling success to expand the resource estimate, particularly in areas not included in previous assessments [2][3]. Project Overview - The Contact Lake Gold Project spans approximately 22,790 hectares and includes the past-producing Contact Lake mine, which produced around 190,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 6.16 g/t from 1994 to 1998 [16]. - The project is located in the La Ronge Gold Belt of Saskatchewan, a region known for its gold potential [16].
