Trifecta Gold completes 1,992 m of drilling at Rye

Mr. Richard Drechsler reports TRIFECTA GOLD COMPLETES 2025 DRILLING PROGRAM AT THE RYE PROJECT, YUKON Trifecta Gold Ltd. has completed 1,992 metres of diamond drilling as part of its 2025 program at the Rye project. Rye is situated 14 kilometres from the North Canol Road between two mid-Cretaceous granitic intrusions -- the Itsi and Itsi East plutons -- in the eastern portion of Yukon's Tombstone gold belt. Diamond drilling equipment has now been demobilized from the property, and the logged and photographed drill core has been shipped to Whitehorse, Yukon, for sawing and geochemical analysis. A total of six holes were completed, with visual observations from the first three holes previously announced on Aug. 28, 2025. All six holes were directed toward zones of densely sheeted quartz-tourmaline-plus-or-minus-arsenopyrite veins, located in and around the reduced, mid-Cretaceous Itsi pluton. Hole RY-25-01 cut a 224-metre-wide zone (from surface) of hornfels hosting an abundance of sheeted quartz-pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite-plus-or-minus-arsenopyrite-plus-or-minus-scheelite veins, with measured vein densities averaging 15 per metre, including broad areas with vein densities greater than 25 per metre. The final hole of the program, RY-25-06, was collared about 130 metres behind and south of RY-25-01 and was designed to better assess the width and downdip extent of the sheeted veins. Hole 25-06 cut a 210-metre-wide zone, with measured vein densities averaging 13 per metre. RY-25-04 was drilled from the same pad as RY-25-02 but directed southeast, toward sheeted veins identified in surface exposures of hornfels, which are cut by a number of granitic dikes associated with elevated vein densities. The strongest veining was from the top 97 metres of the hole, which intersected meta-sandstone and narrow dikes with a measured average vein density of seven quartz-plus-or-minus-pyrite-plus-or-minus-pyrrhotite and quartz-tourmaline veins per metre. Scheelite (tungsten) mineralization was observed disseminated within the dikes, and the hole was terminated in a fault before it could reach its intended depth. RY-25-05 was collared 300 metres southwest of hole RY-25-04. The hole intersected weakly silicified feldspar-porphyry granodiorite as well as a number of narrow dikes of various compositions. Vein densities over all were generally low, comprising quartz-plus-or-minus-pyrrhotite-plus-or-minus-chalcopyrite veins with measured densities of two or less per metre. RY-25-06 was a stepout hole collared 130 metres south of hole RY-25-01, with the same azimuth and dip. The hole was designed to test the width and downdip extent of the zone of sheeted veins encountered in hole RY-25-01. Like hole RY-25-01, hole 25-06 encountered a 210-metre-long zone of sheeted quartz-pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite-plus-or-minus-arsenopyrite-plus-or-minus-scheelite veins, with an average measured vein density of 13 per metre, including local vein density measurements greater than 25 per metre. Hole RY-25-06 represents an approximately 105 metres stepout down dip and a 55-metre stepout along strike from 25-01, and the zone of dense veining remains open along both axes. Assay results from rock samples collected in 2025, in preparation for the inaugural diamond drill program, included a highlight result of 21.1 grams per tonne gold and 8,550 parts per million bismuth. A further 28 rocks were collected as the drill program proceeded, and geochemical results from these samples are pending. While the company considers the visual results of the above-mentioned drill holes to be encouraging, it cautions that the significance of the mineralization observed will not be known until assays have been received and reviewed.

Tombstone gold belt Extending more than 1,000 kilometres from the Fairbanks district in Alaska eastward across the entire width of Yukon, the Tombstone gold belt hosts many large reduced intrusion-related gold system (RIRGS) mines such as Fort Knox in Alaska (greater than 10 million ounces), Eagle and Olive in Yukon (greater than million ounces), and the past-producing Brewery Creek mine, also in Yukon. Since May, 2020, over 17 million additional ounces of gold have been discovered in the Yukon portion of the belt, including Snowline Gold's Tier 1 Valley discovery, Sitka Gold's RC deposit, Banyan Gold's AurMac deposits and Victoria Gold's Raven deposit. Tombstone gold belt systems are characterized by sheeted, auriferous quartz veins forming in the carapace zones of Cretaceous-age plutons. They have a characteristic geochemical signature with a gold-bismuth-tellurium-plus-or-minus-tungsten core within a broader gold-arsenic halo. The deposits are found within and surrounding the reduced intrusions and typically exhibit a geophysical signature comprising a magnetic low (that is, reduced) coinciding with at conductivity low. Veining in RIRGS systems is typically zoned with a core of sheeted veins surrounded by more discrete gold-arsenic veins and more distal silver-lead-zinc veins. About Trifecta Gold Ltd. Trifecta is a Canadian-based precious metals exploration company dedicated to increasing shareholder value through the discovery and development of 100-per-cent-held gold projects in Yukon and Nevada. Trifecta has secured an option to acquire a 100-per-cent interest in Mount Hinton, Rye and nine other highly prospective, intrusion-related gold projects located in Yukon's Tombstone gold belt, where over 17 million ounces of gold have been discovered since May, 2020. Initial drilling at the company's Yuge gold project, located in northern Nevada, has identified multiple broad zones of gold mineralization near historical high-grade mines. The company's Eureka project hosts an eight-kilometre-by-2.5-kilometre belt of surface showings and anomalous gold in soil that straddle the headwaters of two of the most productive placer creeks in Yukon's southern Klondike goldfields. Trifecta's Treble project covers a large hydrothermal system, located midway between Western Copper and Gold Corp.'s Casino deposit, the largest copper and gold deposit in Yukon, and Rockhaven Resources Ltd.'s Klaza deposit, a high-grade gold-silver deposit.
