Executive Summary

  • Trifecta Gold Ltd. released final results from its 2025 diamond drilling program at the Rye Project in Yukon, completing 1,992 metres of drilling across six holes.
  • The program identified a significant high-grade silver intercept in Hole RY-25-04, grading 1,465 g/t Ag over 1.97 metres, along with copper and tungsten.
  • Hole RY-25-06 intersected a 210-metre-wide zone of sheeted veining, supporting the interpretation that the project sits on the edges of a large, mineralized hydrothermal system.

Key Details

  • Drilling Program Summary:
    • Total metres drilled: 1,992 metres.
    • Total holes: 6.
    • Location: Rye Project, Yukon (14 km from North Canol road, between Itsi and Itsi East plutons).
    • Ownership: Company has right to earn 100% ownership.
  • Significant Intercepts:
    • Hole RY-25-04: 1.97 metres grading 1,465 g/t Silver, 0.22% Copper, and 0.97% WO3 (Tungsten Trioxide).
      • Terminated at 277.97 metres due to drilling difficulties in a fault; full width unknown.
      • Lead, tellurium, and antimony at background levels, suggesting native silver.
      • Located 640 metres from historically known polymetallic veins (discovered 1950s); inferred to be direct extension of one such vein.
    • Hole RY-25-06: Intersected a 210-metre-wide zone of sheeted veining.
      • Vein densities similar to those in Hole RY-25-01.
      • Geochemical ratios indicate sampling of a lower-temperature portion of the hydrothermal system.
    • Context from Previous Holes (Announced Dec 2, 2025):
      • Hole RY-25-01 intersected 1.98 g/t Gold over 15 metres within a broader intercept of 1.02 g/t Gold over 37 metres.
  • Technical & QA/QC:
    • Analyst: ALS Minerals (Prep in Whitehorse, Assays in North Vancouver).
    • Gold Analysis: 30-gram fire assay followed by atomic absorption spectroscopy (Au-AA23); gravimetric analysis (Au-GRA21) for high-grade samples.
    • Multi-element Analysis: Inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ME-MS61L) for 48 elements; Ag/Cu/Zn-OG62 for silver, copper, and zinc.
    • QA/QC: Certified standards, coarse reject duplicates, field duplicates, and blanks routinely inserted; all results passed screening.
  • Geological Context:
    • Project is in the Tombstone gold belt, characterized by reduced intrusion-related gold systems (RIRGS).
    • Systems feature sheeted, auriferous quartz veins in carapace zones of Cretaceous-age plutons.
    • Characteristic geochemical signature: Gold-bismuth-tellurium core with gold-arsenic halo.

Notable Quotes

  • "With the balance of assays in hand, the wide zones of consistent veining in RY-25-01 and -06 support our belief that we are exploring the edges of a large, mineralized hydrothermal system," stated Jack Morton, vice-president of Trifecta. "Our immediate focus will be on leveraging these new geochemical vectors in combination with structural measurements and lidar data to target higher-temperature, higher-grade mineralization in the next program."
