Notable Quotes

• Steve Nicol, CEO: "A later end to the snow melt resulted in a minor delay to the start of the 2026 field season however, the TRU team is now in the field with an aggressive works schedule and program aimed at catching up from the earlier delay. The Company's focus is to efficiently discover the full gold and copper potential across the entire Golden Rose Property aiming to identify multiple mineralised zones leading to economic scale. The 2026 field program remains true to that focus in that it will examine prospectivity across several different areas rather than focussing only upon already identified mineralised occurrences. I look forward to updating investors as initial results of this year's program become available."
