Trifecta completes 970 m of diamond drilling at Rye

Executive Summary

• Trifecta Gold Ltd. has completed 970 m of diamond drilling across three holes at the Rye property, part of a planned 1,500‑2,000 m program.
• Hole RY‑25‑01 intersected a 224 m wide zone of hornfels with dense sheeted quartz‑pyrrhotite‑chalcopyrite veins (vein density > 25 per m).
• High‑grade assays from historic surface sampling include up to 21.1 g/t Au and 8,550 ppm Bi; drilling is targeting similar vein systems within the Itsi pluton complex.

Key Details

• Program Scope: Inaugural drill program; 970 m completed of a targeted 1,500‑2,000 m total.
• Hole RY‑25‑01: Collared ~400 m from Itsi pluton margin in hornfelsed Road River formation siliciclastics; intersected 224 m of hornfels with dense sheeted quartz‑pyrrhotite‑chalcopyrite‑arsenopyrite‑scheelite veins; vein density > 25 per m.
• Hole RY‑25‑02: Collared 360 m SW of RY‑25‑01, adjacent to Itsi pluton; intersected hornfelsed siliciclastics and granodiorite with chlorite‑rich greisen alteration; sheeted vein density markedly lower, featuring minor quartz‑sulphide veins and incipient tourmaline‑muscovite veins.
• Hole RY‑25‑03 (ongoing): Located 175 m south of RY‑25‑02 within a ~170 m wide extensional corridor; intersected 209 m of hornfels before entering intrusive phases of Itsi pluton that host sheeted quartz‑tourmaline‑arsenopyrite veins.
• Assay Highlights (historical surface samples): Up to 21.1 g/t Au and 8,550 ppm Bi; other vein specimens up to 6.5 g/t Au and 1,565 ppm Bi.
• Analytical Work: Conducted by ALS Minerals; fire‑assay with AAS finish (Au‑AA23) for gold; four‑acid digestion + ICP‑MS (ME‑MS61L) for 48 elements; over‑limit samples (>10 g/t Au) re‑assayed by gravimetric finish (Au‑GRA21).
• Qualified Person: Technical information approved by Vice‑President Jackson Morton, P.Geo., NI 43‑101 qualified person.
