Company Overview

Trident Resources Corp. is a Canadian junior exploration company created in early 2025 from a three-way merger. Its focus is on advancing its portfolio of gold and copper assets in the prolific La Ronge Gold Belt of Saskatchewan, a top-tier mining jurisdiction.

The company's flagship project is the Contact Lake Gold Project, a 100%-owned, past-producing high-grade underground gold mine. The mine was operated by Cameco from 1994 to 1998 and was shut down due to low gold prices (approx. US$300/oz). Trident is undertaking the first modern, systematic exploration of the project in nearly 30 years, believing that significant unmined resources remain and that the mineralized system is open for expansion.
