Trifecta Gold Completes Rye Drill Program and Provides Exploration Update
Trifecta completes its Yukon drill program, with assays pending as the company expands its regional exploration footprint.
Trifecta Gold Ltd. has completed its 2026 diamond drill program at the Rye Project in the Yukon, drilling six holes for a total of 1,852 meters. Core samples have been logged, split, and shipped to ALS for assay preparation, with results expected in early October 2026.
Surface rock sampling at Rye returned values up to 19.25 g/t gold. Exploration at the Liam and Lois projects identified new targets, including sheeted quartz veining at Liam and new skarn mineralization at Lois.
The company outlined upcoming investor events, including the Precious Metals Summit (Sep 22-25), TAKESTOCK Investor Series (Nov 4), and Yukon Geoscience Forum (Nov 16). Technical information was approved by Jackson Morton, P.Geo., a Qualified Person under NI 43-101.
Trifecta Gold Ltd. (TG) released a routine operational update confirming the completion of its planned 2026 drilling program as scheduled. The announcement aligns with prior expectations established in the July 2026 permit and drilling commencement announcements.
No new assay results were provided in the release, with market impact deferred until the expected October assay release. While the update included surface sampling highlights and new project targets identified as Liam/Lois, these additions are considered incremental and do not alter the near-term valuation catalyst, which remains the Rye assay results.
Trifecta Gold Ltd. (TG) is a Canadian-based precious metals exploration company focused on the highly prospective Tombstone Gold Belt in east-central Yukon. Its flagship asset is the Rye Project, located 14 km from the North Canol Road, situated between the Itsi and Itsi East plutons. The company is targeting a Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold System (RIRGS) characterized by sheeted quartz veining.
The 2025 maiden drill program returned 1.98 g/t Au over 15 meters and a high-grade silver intercept of 1,465 g/t Ag over 1.97 meters. It also intersected a 210-meter-wide zone of sheeted veining, supporting the hypothesis of a large hydrothermal system.
The company holds interests in 11 projects in the Tombstone Belt, plus the Liam and Lois projects (earning 100% from Strategic Metals Ltd.). The Yuge project in Nevada has been optioned to Nortec Minerals.
