Drill Results
Troilus Drills 1.15 g/t AuEQ Over 37 m, Including 3.84 g/t AuEQ Over 5 m, at Connector Zone, Extending High-Grade Mineralization Within Current Mine Plan Area
Troilus drills high-grade connector zone extensions while a $1.2 billion debt close and ESIA approval remain the primary catalysts for the project.

Executive Summary
- Troilus Mining Corp. announced drill results from the Connector Zone at its Troilus Project in north-central Quebec as part of its 2026 exploration program.
- Hole J-26-359 returned 37 m @ 1.15 g/t AuEq (0.91 g/t Au, 3.23 g/t Ag, 0.13% Cu), including 5 m @ 3.84 g/t AuEq.
- Hole J-26-360 returned 54 m @ 0.78 g/t AuEq, including 3.9 m @ 3.03 g/t AuEq and 6 m @ 2.02 g/t AuEq.
- Hole J-26-351 returned 28.7 m @ 1.23 g/t AuEq, including 1 m @ 25.53 g/t AuEq and 1 m @ 4.78 g/t AuEq.
- The program targets inferred mineralization within existing reserve pit areas and tests up-plunge extensions between the Z87 and J open pits.
- Objectives include converting inferred material to indicated resources, optimizing mine sequencing, reducing strip ratios, and providing early-year mill feed for the planned 50,000 tpd operation.
- Mineralization is hosted in deformed intermediate volcanic breccia with albite, sericite, and silica alteration. True thickness is estimated at 75% to 90% of drilled length.
- CEO Justin Reid emphasized that upgrading inferred material to indicated is critical for early-stage mining activities and operational efficiency.
Material Impact
- The results are consistent with the company's stated 2026 exploration strategy announced in March, which allocated ~40,000 metres to near-mine resource growth and pit optimization.
- The high-grade continuity and grade-thickness at the Connector Zone validate the geological model and support the feasibility study's mine plan parameters.
- The news does not introduce new financing terms, permit approvals, or changes to the project's capital cost or production profile.
- It is an expected, incremental update that de-risks near-mine operations but does not alter the fundamental investment thesis or timeline for construction.
- The market has already priced in the progression toward detailed engineering and the $1.2 billion debt mandate upsizing in May 2026.
