Trifecta Gold drills 1.97 m of 1,465 g/t Ag at Rye

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."
