Harrison Lake district-scale gold project -- gold and exploration highlights: The Harrison Lake gold project contains a seven-kilometre-long ridge with diorite/quartz-bearing extensive intrusive-related gold mineralization, situated near Harrison Lake, British Columbia. Historical drilling results confirm the presence of significant gold mineralization. The Harrison Lake mineral claims (5,025 hectares or 7,475 acres) are fully road accessible from the Trans-Canada Highway and Highway 7 in southwestern British Columbia, with numerous secondary logging roads and related power and rail service. The property covers a seven-kilometre strike length of the gold-rich Harrison Lake structural zone, with stockwork-type gold mineralization within diorite intrusions (Jenner and Portal zones), including DDH-84-52 (102 metres of 3.54 grams per tonne gold). The Jenner and Portal zones include DDH 88-76, which intersected 7.0 metres averaging 21.4 g/t, and DDH 88-121, which intersected 9.0 meters averaging 13.5 g/t. (Note: The intercept in DDH 88-121 is more than 50 metres vertically below the historic resource estimate and requires additional drilling.) A corridor of similar diorite intrusions and gold-in-soil anomalies that extends for more than two kilometres to the south of the original discovery. Follow-up drilling of some of these anomalies identified more diorite-hosted, stockwork-type mineralization, including DDH 88-130, which tested the Hill zone and reportedly returned 30 metres averaging 3.0 g/t. The style of mineralization is similar to the gold deposits of the Tintina gold belt that straddles the Yukon-Alaska border and it has also been recognized that the mineralized diorite intrusions are localized along a regionally extensive shear zone adjacent to a large diorite batholith. Snowline Gold's recent discovery of the Valley deposit clearly demonstrates the potential of these types of occurrences. There has been over $10-million in previous exploration drilling expenditures, with a strong technical team in place experienced in underground and exploration drilling for gold. Drilling permits have been approved and granted by the Province of British Columbia for 2026-2027. Michael Magrum, PEng, is the exploration manager mining, and, as its key technical adviser (as a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101), Mr. Magrum will be responsible for overseeing the technical management of all of Trans Canada Gold's mineral properties and will be carrying out all requisite oversight for all new gold exploration drilling.
