TRU Reports on Results from 2025 Drilling Program Intersecting Gold-Bearing Mineralization in Every Hole

Executive Summary

• TRU completed a 1,988 m, four‑hole diamond drilling program on the Golden Rose Project, intersecting gold‑bearing mineralization in every hole.
• Two previously unknown broad sandstone-hosted zones were discovered, each returning ~1.0 g/t Au over >5 m within wider lower‑grade envelopes (up to 65 m).
• The program confirmed vertical continuity of the historic Northcott zone at depth (2.1 g/t Au over 0.4 m) and provided encouraging step‑out results that expand the known strike length to >500 m.

Key Details

• Drill Hole GR 25‑03: 1.0 g/t Au over 13.3 m (including 1.3 g/t Au over 5.3 m); broader envelope 0.3 g/t Au over 65.3 m.
• Drill Hole GR 25‑04: 1.0 g/t Au over 5.1 m; broader envelope 0.5 g/t Au over 18.2 m.
• Drill Hole GR 25‑02 (step‑out): 1.0 g/t Au over 4.0 m in a sandstone unit similar to that intersected in GR 25‑03/04.
• Drill Hole GR 25‑01 (Northcott test): 2.1 g/t Au over 0.4 m at ~240 m vertical depth (367 m downhole). Also intersected two lower‑grade intervals (0.5 g/t Au over 3.0 m and 0.7 g/t Au over 2.8 m) in the Mark’s Pond zone.
• Interpretation: Minimum strike extension of the newly discovered sandstone-hosted mineralization ≥500 m; open in all directions. Potential down‑dip continuity of Northcott zone indicated.
• Program Objectives Met:
• Fulfilled drilling expenditure commitments under the Option Agreement for Staghorn property.
• Infilling a 200 m gap near historic Mark’s Pond drilling.
• Testing down‑dip extension of Northcott and prospectivity of intervening lithology.
• Exploring repeat potential of Mark’s Pond zone ~1.6 km southwest.
• Resulting Action: Completion of the program enabled TRU to exercise its option to acquire a 51 % interest in the Staghorn property (per July 10 2025 release).
• QA/QC: Half‑core sampling, 5 % blanks and standards, field duplicates; analysis by ALS Laboratories (ICP‑MS & fire assay). No samples >10 g/t Au encountered. Independent Qualified Person Prof. G. Earls verified all data.
• Forward Outlook: TRU will continue mapping, ground‑truthing, and planning follow‑up drilling based on these results; the company remains focused on expanding its drill target pipeline across Golden Rose.
