Trans Canada Gold Announces Expanded Gold Potential While the Company Prepares for Exploration and Drilling on its Harrison Lake Gold Project

Executive Summary

• Trans Canada Gold Corp. announced a corporate update outlining its upcoming 2026 diamond drilling program for the Harrison Lake Gold Project in British Columbia.
• The release highlights historic drill intercepts (e.g., 7 m @ 21.4 g/t Au, 9 m @ 13.5 g/t Au) and identifies a conceptual exploration target of 2–10 Mt grading 1.0‑5.0 g/t Au.
• Drilling permits for 2026‑2027 have been approved; execution will depend on the successful closing of a concurrent private placement.

Key Details

• Project Overview
• Harrison Lake Gold Project sits on a 7 km strike length within the Harrison Lake Structural Zone, featuring stockwork gold mineralization in diorite intrusions (Jenner and Portal Zones).

• Historical drilling includes 2,920 m in 21 surface holes and 2,754 m in 23 underground holes; Portal Zone work totals 6,978 m across 50 holes (1983‑1988).

• Key Historic Intercepts

• DDH‑84‑52: 102 m @ 3.54 g/t Au
• DDH‑88‑76: 7 m @ 21.4 g/t Au
• DDH‑88‑121: 9 m @ 13.5 g/t Au

• DDH‑88‑130 (Hill Zone): 30 m @ 3.0 g/t Au

• Exploration Target

• Conceptual target of 2–10 Mt containing 1.0‑5.0 g/t Au, based on geological understanding and historic drill data across >2 km strike and >700 m vertical elevation.

• 2026 Drill Program (Two Phases)

• Large‑diameter NTW (>2") core drilling to systematically sample a known higher‑grade zone and test metallic screen gold assaying, which may increase reported grades by 10‑40%.

• Objectives: update GIS database, identify additional drill targets along the 7.5 km corridor, and improve geological model.

• Permitting & Financing

• Drilling permits for 2026‑2027 have been approved by the Province of British Columbia.

• Execution of the program is contingent upon closing a private placement announced concurrently with the property acquisition (details not disclosed).

• Technical Team

• Michael Magrum, Exploration Manager and Qualified Person (NI 43‑101), will oversee technical management of all drilling activities; brings >40 years of gold exploration experience.

• Expenditures to Date

• Over US$10 million spent on prior exploration drilling at Harrison Lake.
