FIELD WORK IDENTIFIES NEW MINERALIZED TREND AND ADDITIONAL GOLD TARGETS AT GOLDEN ROSE
TRU provides an update on the ongoing target generation field works at its Golden Rose Project strategically located along the gold deposit bearing Cape Ray – Valentine Lake Shear Zones in Central Newfoundland, and neighbouring Equinox Gold Corp.'s Valentine Mine.
Toronto, Ontario – March 5, 2026 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU, FSE:706) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on the ongoing target generation field works at its Golden Rose Project (“Golden Rose”) strategically located along the gold deposit bearing Cape Ray – Valentine Lake Shear Zones in Central Newfoundland, and neighbouring Equinox Gold Corp.'s Valentine Mine.
Subsequent to the completion of the 2025 drilling program at Golden Rose, the results of which can be found in the Company’s news release dated September 10, 2025, the TRU exploration team was in the field advancing focused mapping and ground truthing programs aimed at further refining the geological and structural site-wide model and expanding the pipeline of quality drill targets both within and beyond the initial area of drilling focus.
Highlights from the 2025 Field Work
Field work to follow up the mineralized sandstone unit discovered during the 2025 drilling program(1) positions the sandstone unit within an extensive and previously unrecognised mineralized trend extending for at least 3,000 metres (“m”) along strike and some 600m wide;
The mineralized trend is supported by outcrop and float mapping and sampling. Assay results of grab samples include 91.3g/t gold (“Au”), 36.1g/t Au and 3.3g/t Au in outcrop, and 72.7g/t Au and 40.6g/t Au in float. 4 assayed samples contained visible gold (“VG”);
The mineralized trend aligns with the Northcott and Mark’s Pond zones 1.2 kilometres (“kms”) to the northeast, and Rich House 4.5 kms further to the northeast. Structural continuity over these distances is interpreted, but remains to be demonstrated;
Previously recognised showings at Falls Zone and in the Jacob’s to Rose Gold(2) corridor, have been elevated to higher ranking targets following field work and reinterpretation indicating these targets to be more prospective than originally understood;
Field work also identified new targets in previously unexplored areas including the southwest extensions of the Rogerson Lake Conglomerate (“RLC”), along a portion of the Valentine Lake Shear Zone (“VLSZ”), and either side of the Wood Lake mineralization; and
Trenching and follow-up drilling programs are being planned for the 2026 field season.
TRU CEO Steve Nicol commented: “TRU is diligently advancing with its stated aim of efficiently discovering the full gold and copper potential at its Golden Rose Project. In the 2025 mapping and ground truthing program, a previously unknown mineralized trend of already impressive dimensions has been delineated centered upon the mineralized sandstone unit discovered during the 2025 drill program(1), with final dimensions of the trend yet to be determined. Trenching and subsequent drilling is now in planning for this area. The 2025 field work also elevated the prospectivity of the previously recognised Falls Zone and the Jacobs to Rose Gold corridor adding significantly to the previously limited understanding of these prospective targets. Furthermore, the 2025 field work identified other quality targets across the project area warranting further examination as knowledge grows regarding the controls on mineralization at Golden Rose. I want to personally thank the TRU team for its tireless efforts during an arduous 3 month “on foot” field work program achieving near total coverage over much of the large project area resulting in an invaluable database of surface information. This information has dramatically advanced the knowledge and understanding of the distribution of mineralization across much of the project area which is important in focussing and accelerating work streams into the future.”
The field work commenced with a series of 20 mapping and sampling traverses on foot spaced 1 to 2 kms apart and trending SE to NW (across strike) along a 30km section of the main corridor within Golden Rose prospective for orogenic gold mineralization proximal to the VLSZ. During traversing, outcrops were located, mapped and sampled building a large database of surface information across this important corridor. Upon completion of the across strike traversing, the team undertook along strike traversing in areas identified as having elevated prospectivity. Each crew member completed over 400kms of off-trail traversing on foot across the main project corridor, with detailed data and mapping collected on some 400 outcrops.
The reported rock samples are selective grab samples (from outcrop and/or float) and are not necessarily representative of mineralization on the property. The presence of visible gold in certain samples is qualitative in nature and does not indicate the grade distribution of mineralization. A total of 292 rock samples were collected during the entire traversing program across all areas. Table 1 lists the 16 samples collected within the newly identified mineralised trend that returned > 1g/t Au.
Mineralized trend discovered during 2025 drilling
This detailed focussed mapping and sampling along the traverses has significantly upgraded the prospectivity of the mineralized sandstone unit within the RLC discovered in drillholes GR 25-03 and GR 25-04 during the 2025 drilling campaign(1) with mineralized quartz vein outcrop and quartz float now defining a trend that is over 3kms along strike and up to 600m wide. The mineralized trend aligns with the Northcott and Mark’s Pond zones some 1.2 kms further to the northeast. The outcrop and float defining this zone is mineralized with pyrite and arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, and tourmaline. VG was noted both in outcrop and in float. Assay results >1g/t Au from grab samples taken of the outcrop and float are provided in Table 1 below:
Table 1: Assay results >1g/t Au from grab sampling within the new trend
The trend consists of strike parallel intermittent exposures of quartz vein outcrops and alteration associated with substantial quantities of angular quartz float with VG. The trend includes several outcrops of strongly sericite altered and quartz veined conglomerates suggesting that further potentially parallel mineralized zones are likely to be present. Veining ranges from < 1cm veinlets to > 1m in thickness, have a range of mineralization styles including VG with no sulphides, VG associated with pyrite and arsenopyrite mineralization, VG associated with sericite alteration within the wallrock of the veins, and polymetallic (chalcopyrite, galena, pyrite, and arsenopyrite) sulphide mineralization lacking VG but returning assay grades up to 36.1g/t Au. Alteration of the host rock ranges from strongly sericitic to strongly chloritic, with VG being observed in samples with both alteration styles. A trenching program to delineate this exciting and expanding mineralized trend is planned for 2026, with drilling to follow. A hypothesized additional extension of the trend as far to the northeast as Rich House (an additional 4.5 kms) will be the subject of detailed field truthing during 2026. Figure 1 provides detail on this extensive mineralized trend.
Figure 1: New mineralized trend
Other priority targets
In addition to significantly increasing the footprint and elevating the importance of the mineralized sandstone unit identified in the 2025 drilling program, the detailed traversing program has also elevated the prospectivity and importance of the previously recognised but little understood showings at Rose Gold and Falls Zone.
At Rose Gold (900m west-northwest of the Northcott Zone – Figure 2), bedrock sampling in 2025 confirmed the high-grade sampling of 2015 with the latest samples returning 20.4g/t Au and 6.3g/t Au. Additionally, traversing and prospecting in the surrounding area discovered two > 50cm quartz veins some 650m east-northeast of the Rose Gold showing which host similar pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralization and have a similar east-west orientation as at Rose Gold. This is a geologically complex area with multiple opportunities for rheological contrast to be developed. Samples of the surrounding veins returned slightly elevated Au values, the controls on the mineralization remain unknown and a program of non-mechanised trenching is planned for 2026. In a wider context, the 2025 detailed traversing program has increased knowledge of the prospectivity of the corridor from Rose Gold at least as far as Jacob’s (2.0 kms to the southwest) through an area in which TRU geologists are reinterpreting the historically mapped geology.
At the Falls Zone (Figure 2), traversing and outcrop mapping resulted in the discovery of quartz veins up to 1m thick and intermittently exposed over 50m along strike of the Falls Zone approximately 200m northeast of the original showing with elevated gold values (131ppb) coincident with the contact between sediments of the Storm Brook Formation and a rhyolite within the same formation. In addition, abundant mineralized quartz float between these quartz veins and the Falls Zone contains >30% pyrite or arsenopyrite. These float rocks were >0.5m in diameter and only slightly rounded indicating they have not been transported far. The source is yet to be identified. The sulphide mineralized quartz boulders returned grades including 2.2g/t Au, 1.3g/t Au and 1.1g/t Au. As at Rose Gold, these results indicate the potential for a significantly larger zone of mineralization at Falls Zone than has been previously recognised. Mechanised trenching is planned for the area during 2026.
Figure 2: Priority targets
Other areas:
Along the southeast side of the Victoria river valley, in an area which has little or no systematic exploration, sulphide mineralized quartz veins up to 0.3m thick were discovered along the contact of the Peter Strides Granitoid (“PSG”) suite and the Storm Brook formation along with very angular quartz boulders >1.5m in size indicating much larger veins in the area. This corresponds to the interpreted location of the VLSZ. Mineralized granitic float in the vicinity returned high grade assay results including 11.35g/t Au and 2.01g/t Au whilst the veins returned up to 0.3g/t Au. Further field work is planned for 2026 to understand the controls and dimensions of this newly identified showing named PSG Contact (Figure 2).
The impressive grades and dimensions related to the newly identified mineralized zone within the RLC centred on the 2025 drilling are focussing renewed interest on the rest of the RLC which extends for some 11 kms in a southwesterly direction parallel to the VLSZ within the Golden Rose property. The southwest part of the RLC (RLC-SW – Figure 2) has received little previous attention as much of the area is covered by bog and till. Programs are being designed for an intensive surface field work program in 2026 aimed at identifying and gathering all surface information possible to aid in identifying areas of extension and potential repetition, of the newly identified mineralized zone to the northeast within the RLC.
At Wood Lake (Figure 2), a revised interpretation of controls on the mineralization will be tested during 2026 in an effort to significantly extend the limits of the current known mineralization.
In addition to the priority prospects, the detailed traversing program highlighted a further 6 - 8 areas of significant interest to be further investigated.
The objective of the 2026 field work in these areas will be to work up and define drilling targets for subsequent field seasons.

Quality Assurance - Quality Control ("QA/QC")
During all exploration sampling and analysis works on its Golden Rose project TRU maintains a strict quality assurance program, implements a quality control program, and has a sample security procedure in place. These are tailored as necessary to be appropriate to the types of samples being collected.
Samples reported on in this News Release comprised grab samples from a mix of outcrop or float taken by TRU geological field crews. These samples were each packed in tie-sealed plastic bags, uniquely numbered at the site of sampling and delivered to the TRU onsite camp by the TRU geological field crews. Duplicate samples were also taken and bagged for storage onsite (reference samples).
QA/QC samples, including blanks and certified standards were inserted into the sample runs prior to samples being loaded into rice sacks, in accordance with TRU Standard Operating Procedure for QAQC sample selection and insertion. Insertion rates for blanks and certified standards were approximately 2.5% (each) of all samples submitted for assay.
Bagged samples for analysis were packed into tie-locked rice sacks, and transported by the TRU Project Geologist directly to the shipping agent in Corner Brook, who shipped the samples directly to the ALS Laboratory in Moncton, NB.
Chemical analysis of rock samples was carried out at ALS laboratories in Moncton NB (17 Somers Dr, Moncton, NB E1H 2P3) a commercial geoscience laboratory that is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited and completely independent of TRU. Samples were analyzed using a 4-acid digestion with Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP MS) finish (25g) for a full suite of elements plus fire assay (30g) with Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) finish for gold values. Samples returning assayed values in excess of 10g/t Au were automatically re-assayed using fire assay with Gravimetric finish (30g).

TRU REPORTS ON RESULTS FROM 2025 DRILLING PROGRAM INTERSECTING GOLD-BEARING MINERALIZATION IN EVERY HOLE
TRU is pleased to provide the results from its 2025 diamond drilling program consisting of 1,988 meters in a total of four holes on its Golden Rose Project.
Toronto, Ontario – September 10, 2025 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU, FSE:706) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide the results from its 2025 diamond drilling program consisting of 1,988 meters (“m”) in a total of four holes on its Golden Rose Project (“Golden Rose”). (See Figure 1)
Highlights
The investigative, wide-spaced, four-hole, (1,988m) diamond drilling program intersected gold-bearing mineralization in every hole
A previously unknown broad mineralized sandstone unit was intersected in two of the drill holes (GR 25-03 and GR 25-04) over an interpreted minimum strike length of 500m. Assay results from this mineralized sandstone are:
1.0 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) over 13.3m including 1.3g/t over 5.3m, within a much wider interval of 0.3g/t over 65.3m in GR 25-03
1.0g/t Au over 5.1m within a wider interval of 0.5g/t over 18.2m in GR 25-04
A second previously unknown mineralized zone displaying similarities to the above-mentioned mineralized sandstone, and which may represent an along strike extension of the same zone, was intersected in drill hole GR 25-02 providing an intercept of 1.0g/t Au over 4.0m
Indications of continuity of the previously trenched Northcott zone were identified over 240m vertically at depth in drill hole GR 25-01
Reported intervals are length-weighted down-hole. True widths of reported mineralized intervals, as a percentage of down-hole intervals, are estimated to be between 60% and 80%. Sample length varied between 1.5m maximum and 1.0m minimum, except where smaller sample lengths were required for geological reasons. No grade capping applied.
TRU CEO Steve Nicol commented: “I am very pleased to be reporting upon the results achieved in our investigative 2025 drilling program which exceeded expectations with all 4 holes intersecting gold-bearing mineralization. We are very encouraged by the positive first test of the potential vertical continuity of the Northcott mineralization typified by high grades over narrow widths at surface from the 2023 trenching(1), and especially by the discovery of two previously unknown gold mineralized zones, one of which is approximately 1.6 kilometers to the southwest of Mark’s Pond with an interpreted strike length in excess of 500m and favourable initial intercepts within broad lower grade envelopes. The significance of these results continues to be assessed together with ongoing results from the mapping and ground truthing programs currently underway across the Golden Rose Project area all feeding into the design of future follow-up drilling programs.”

There were no known drilling, sampling, recovery or other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data referred to in this news release.
Discussion of Results
Aims of the drilling included:
Complying with the contractual drilling expenditure commitments under the Option Agreement between Quadro Resources Ltd. and TRU concerning the Staghorn property in Newfoundland and Labrador (“Staghorn”), as amended (the “Option Agreement”)
Infilling a 200m gap in past drilling near the historic southwest extent of drilling on the mineralized zone at Mark’s Pond
Exploring potential for down dip continuity of the mineralized zone at Northcott
Exploring the prospectivity of the intervening sequence of lithology between the Mark’s Pond and Northcott mineralized zones – a horizontal distance of some 200m.
Exploring the prospectivity of a potential repeat of the Mark’s Pond zone some 1.6 kilometers (“km”) further to the southwest.
The target area for the 2025 drilling program was focused upon a portion of the Mark’s Pond to Rich House “exploration fairway.” (see the Company’s news release dated April 03, 2025) based upon its interpreted prospectivity and the necessity to comply with certain drilling commitments pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement. The Staghorn licenses comprise part of the exploration fairway and represent approximately 11% of the total Golden Rose licenses area. (see the Company’s news releases dated June 16, 2022 and August 18, 2022). Satisfactory completion of the 2025 drill program enabled TRU to exercise its option to acquire a 51% interest in the Staghorn property. (See the Company’s news release dated July 10, 2025)
Geological Results (See Figures 2 and 3)
Drillholes GR 25-03 and GR 25-04 were both drilled with the aim of testing a coincident soil and magnetic anomaly located to the southwest of Mark’s Pond which is similar to that which vectored to the original Mark’s Pond discovery in 2018 (see Quadro Resources Ltd. New Release dated November 06, 2018). GR 25-03 was collared some 1.6km southwest of Mark’s Pond, with GR 25-04 being collard a further 500m to the southwest beyond GR 25-03. Whilst not intersecting mineralization similar to the Mark’s Pond mineralization, both drillholes intersected a wide zone of gold-bearing mineralization hosted in a pale green to grey fine grained tuffaceous sandstone unit containing pyrite, arsenopyrite, and galena, which has not been previously encountered at Golden Rose. Both drillholes provided 1.0g/t Au intercepts over widths of 13.3m and 5.1m respectively, each contained within much larger lower grade envelope of 0.3g/t over 65.3m, and 0.5g/t over 18.2m, respectively. Correlation across the two drillholes is positive suggesting a minimum 500m extension of this previously unknown mineralization which is open in all directions.
Drillhole GR 25-01 was targeted to infill a gap of some 200m in historic drilling in the Mark’s Pond zone. The hole encountered two intercepts (0.5g/t Au over 3.0 m from 79.7m downhole, and 0.7g/t Au over 2.8m from 144.5m) which are interpreted to indicate the potential for the mineralization at Mark’s Pond to continue to the southwest.
GR 25-01 was then extended to provide an initial test of the down dip continuity of the Northcott mineralized zone, as well as a drill test on the intervening lithology. Northcott lies some 200m to the northwest of the Mark’s Pond zone and was discovered by TRU in 2023 (see the Company’s news release dated January 12, 2023) during surface trenching in the area. Northcott provided several bonanza grade intercepts across approximately 2.0m of quartz veining in the trenching, including considerable visible gold. GR 25-01 is interpreted to have intersected the down dip extension of the Northcott mineralized zone at a vertical depth of some 240m (367m downhole) providing an intercept of 2.1g/t over 0.4m. Whilst not replicating the bonanza grades seen in parts of the trench, this result points to a significant downdip potential for the zone which remains open at depth.
GR 25-02 was designed with similar aims to GR 25-01 and represented a parallel step-out drill hole collared some 300m to the southwest of GR 25-01. While GR 25-02 did not intersect gold grade corresponding to the projected position of either the Mark’s Pond or Northcott mineralized zones, it did intercept (1.0g/t Au over 4.0m) hosted in a lithological unit displaying similarities to the sandstone unit hosting the mineralized zone intersected in GR 25-03 and GR 25-04 located approximately a kilometer to the southwest. Additional work is required to understand if the mineralized unit intercepted in GR 25-02 represents an extension of the same zone discovered in GR 25-03 and GR 25-04, or whether it is a similar though parallel additional mineralized zone.

TRU geologists and advisors will be assessing all the results achieved in the 2025 drilling program, and their implications for prioritisation of targets for future drill programs.
In parallel, the TRU exploration team remains in the field for the rest of the 2025 field season advancing mapping and ground truthing programs across the entire project area with the objective of further refining the geological and structural site-wide model and adding to the expanding pipeline of quality drill targets.
Quality Assurance - Quality Control ("QA/QC")
During all exploration sampling and analysis works on its Golden Rose Project, TRU maintains a strict quality assurance program, implements a quality control program, and has a sample security procedure in place. These are tailored as necessary to be appropriate to the types of samples being collected.
Samples reported on in this news release comprised half (cut) NQ diamond drill core.
All the NQ core recovered during the 2025 drilling program was delivered on a shift-by-shift basis by the drilling contractor to the core processing area purpose built by TRU onsite at Golden Rose. All core was orientated, photographed, detail logged, and delineated for sampling by TRU geological team. Core was subsequently halved by a diamond-bladed core saw operated by TRU geological team, with one half of the core then being sampled and bagged (in accordance with in-house procedures) for sending to the laboratory for analysis. The remaining half of the core was stored for future reference or use.
Half core samples, each with a unique sample identification, were individually sealed inside tie-locked plastic bags which were packed into rice sacks which were also tie-locked. The rice sacks were packed onto wooden shipping pallets with the pallet load being plastic wrapped ready for dispatch. All this was carried out by TRU geological team at the core processing area under the direct supervision of Joel Cranford, TRU’s Qualified Person.
All the above steps, including selection of half core for analysis, were conducted in accordance with TRU in-house written Standard Operating Procedures for Core Handling, Core Photography, Core Logging, Core Cutting, and Core Sampling.
QA/QC samples, including blanks and certified standards were inserted into the sample runs prior to samples being loaded into rice sacks, in accordance with TRU Standard Operating Procedure for QAQC sample selection and insertion. Insertion rates for blanks and certified standards were approximately 5% (each) of all samples submitted for assay. Field duplicates were also used.
The plastic wrapped rice sacks on pallets were loaded onto a contractor flat-tray truck for transport directly from the Golden Rose site to the shipping agent in Corner Brook, who shipped the pallets directly to the ALS Laboratory in Moncton, NB.
Chemical analysis of core samples was carried out at ALS laboratories in Moncton NB (17 Somers Dr, Moncton, NB E1H 2P3) a commercial geoscience laboratory that is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited and completely independent of TRU.
Samples were analyzed using a 4 acid digestion with Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP MS) finish (25g) for a full suite of elements plus fire assay (30g) with Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) finish for gold values.
Samples returning assayed values in excess of 10g/t Au were to be re-assayed using fire assay with Gravimetric finish (30g), however, no such samples were encountered.
Re-assaying (by screened fire assay, fire assay with gravimetric finish or other appropriate method) of two samples with logged visible gold is yet to be undertaken.

TRU ELECTS TO MAINTAIN A 51% INTEREST IN STAGHORN PROPERTY
TRU Precious Metals Corp. has opted not to exercise the Additional Option that would have seen the Company acquire an additional 14% interest in the Staghorn Property.
Toronto, Ontario – August 6, 2025 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU, FSE:706) (“TRU” or the “Company”) wishes to announce that it has opted not to exercise the Additional Option that would have seen the Company acquire an additional 14% interest in the Staghorn Property. As such, TRU and Quadro Resources Ltd. (“Quadro”) are now deemed to have entered into a 51%/49% Joint Venture Arrangement on the Staghorn Property.
On July 10, 2025 TRU announced that it had formally exercised the Initial Option to acquire a 51% interest in the Staghorn Property pursuant to an option agreement between TRU and Quadro dated June 15, 2022, as subsequently amended (the “Option Agreement”). Section 3.3 of the Option Agreement provided TRU with a 30-day period during which it could provide written notice of its intention to exercise the Additional Option enabling it to acquire an additional 14% interest in the Staghorn Property. The Company has decided not to avail itself of this right to exercise the Additional Option accordingly, the parties will now commence negotiations aimed at finalising the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement (“JVA”) that will regulate the new arrangement between the parties. The JVA will contain normal industry standard terms and other terms broadly set out in the Option Agreement.
Exercising the Additional Option would have seen TRU obliged to pay $200,000 cash to Quadro, and incur $850,000 of exploration expenditures, including $510,000 of drilling activity on the Staghorn Property, within two years of having exercised the Initial Option.
TRU CEO Steve Nicol commented: “The decision not to exercise the Additional Option on the Staghorn Licenses, which cover approximately 11% of the total project area of Golden Rose, is in line with our stated aim of taking a “big picture” perspective of the entire consolidated land package. Exercising the Additional Option would have resulted in restrictions being placed upon where exploration dollars could have been spent in the next 2 years, and this was not considered the most efficient manner to advance our efforts aimed at discovering the full gold and copper potential that may exist within Golden Rose.
The TRU exploration team is now back out in the field advancing the mapping and ground truthing programs across the entire project area aimed at further refining the geological and structural site-wide model and expanding the pipeline of quality drill targets. Assay results from out drilling program completed earlier this season are now being received and will be reported upon when they have been compiled and assessed.”

TRU Announces Commencement of Drilling at Golden Rose
TRU is pleased to report that drilling has commenced on an approximate 1,800 metres 2025 diamond drilling program at the Golden Rose Project.
Toronto, Ontario – May 6, 2025 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU, OTCQB:TRUIF, FSE:706) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that drilling has commenced on an approximate 1,800 metres 2025 diamond drilling program at the Golden Rose Project (“Golden Rose”). Golden Rose is strategically located along the gold deposit bearing Cape Ray – Valentine Lake Shear Zones in Central Newfoundland.
The target area for the 2025 drilling program is focused upon a portion of the Mark’s Pond to Rich House “exploration fairway.” (see News Release dated April 03, 2025). This exploration fairway was selected for the 2025 drill program based upon its interpreted prospectivity and to comply with certain drilling commitments required prior to early July 2025 pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement with Quadro Resources, as modified, on the Staghorn licenses, which comprise part of the exploration fairway. (see News Releases dated June 16, 2022 and August 18, 2022). The Staghorn licenses represent less than 12% of the total Golden Rose licenses area.
Concurrently, the Company has recently completed its revised and refined geological and structural property-wide synthesis of Golden Rose and is now advancing an assessment of the outcomes of this work. The completed models identify numerous targets with potential for orogenic gold mineralization across the nearly 300 sq. kilometres (“km”) land package. This pipeline of quality exploration targets will be validated by field work prior to drilling.
TRU CEO Steve Nicol commented: “We are very pleased to announce the commencement of the 2025 drill program at the Mark’s Pond to Rich House exploration fairway which represents the first area to be tested among the multiple prospective targets emerging from our geological and structural site-wide model. I look forward to updating investors on the results of this initial drilling program, and upon our ongoing assessment of other emerging target areas, as results from each become available.”

TRU Awards Drilling Contract for the 2025 Drilling Program at Golden Rose
TRU has awarded a contract to MCL Drilling to provide drilling services for an approximate 1,800 metres diamond drilling program planned for the 2025 field season at the Golden Rose Project.
Toronto, Ontario – April 03, 2025 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU, OTCQB:TRUIF, FSE:706) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that it has awarded a contract to MCL Drilling (“MCL”) to provide drilling services for an approximate 1,800 metres (“m”) diamond drilling program planned for the 2025 field season at the Golden Rose Project (“Golden Rose”). Golden Rose is strategically located along the gold deposit bearing Cape Ray – Valentine Lake Shear Zones in Central Newfoundland.
The 2025 drilling program constitutes the first pass in a larger plan to follow up on the pipeline of quality exploration targets emerging from the revised and refined geological and structural property scale model that has been in preparation for several months and is expected to be completed shortly. The focus of the 2025 drilling program is on the Mark’s Pond to Rich House “exploration fairway”, a portion of which is host to the very high-grade gold grab samples that were collected by TRU late in 2024 (see News Release dated December 5, 2024). Drilling will commence once the target selection on the exploration fairway is complete.
TRU CEO Steve Nicol commented: “The shift to a “big picture” perspective at Golden Rose announced in October 2024 is leading to the generation of a pipeline of exploration and drill targets, with this 2025 drilling program being the first step down the road towards following up on each of the prioritised targets generated. We are very pleased to have arrived at an agreement with MCL for the provision of the drilling services and excited about working with this very experienced and well-regarded local drilling and civil works company to efficiently execute the 2025 drilling program. I look forward to updating investors on the results of this initial drilling program, and on results of subsequent follow-up works on the other targets generated by our “big picture” review across the remaining project area, as results become available.”
Drilling Contact
Following a competitive tendering process that began in February 2025, TRU selected MCL as the preferred tenderer. MCL will provide all drilling and reclamation services with mobilisation currently expected in the Spring 2025. The 2025 drilling program is planned to comprise approximately1,800 m of diamond drilling, depending upon results or conditions encountered.
2025 Drilling Program
In October 2024, the Company reported on its shift to a “big picture” view of Golden Rose embarking on the preparation of a revised and refined geological and structural property scale model with the view to identifying multiple targets across the nearly 300 sq. kilometres (“km”) land package. The initial focus of this work is on the Mark’s Pond to Rich House exploration fairway. (See News Release dated October 22, 2024).
Figure 1: Initial Exploration Fairway at Golden Rose
The Mark’s Pond to Rich House exploration fairway, which is approximately 7.5 km long and up to 2 kms wide (see Figure 1) and forms part of the Staghorn licenses, was selected for the initial exploration and drilling focus based upon its interpreted prospectivity and to comply with certain drilling commitments required prior to early July 2025 pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement with Quadro Resources, as modified, on the Staghorn licenses. (see News Releases dated June 16, 2022 and August 18, 2022).
The Staghorn licenses cover areas of significant exploration potential and include the Mark’s Pond gold zone where past drilling has provided intercepts including 3.22 grams per tonne gold (“g/t Au”) over 5.0 m, the Northcott gold zone where trenching has returned samples including 57.6 g/t Au over 2.5 m, 34.0 g/t Au over 2.0 m, and 23.5 g/t Au over 2.0 m, and also includes the area which is host to the very high-grade gold grab samples that were collected by TRU late in 2024 near Rich House (see News Releases dated January 12, 2023, December 5, 2024 and NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Golden Rose Project, Newfoundland Labrador, Canada dated October 11, 2023 on the Company’s website).
The Staghorn licenses represent less than 12% of the total Golden Rose licenses area.
The eventual locations of the drill holes for the 2025 drilling program will be determined when the final results of the property scale target generation work are completed and interpreted.
The scientific and technical information disclosed in this news release has been prepared and approved by Joel Cranford, P.Geo., Project Geologist for TRU, and a Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101.

TRU Reports High Grade Gold in Rock Samples recovered from the Golden Rose Project
TRU Precious Metals Corp. reports on high grade gold assays from rock sampling and mapping carried out on a section of the company-defined Mark’s Pond to Rich House exploration fairway at its flagship Golden Rose Project.
Toronto, Ontario – December 5, 2024 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU, OTCQB:TRUIF, FSE:706) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to report on high grade gold (“Au”) assays from rock sampling and mapping carried out on a section of the company-defined Mark’s Pond to Rich House (“MPRH”) exploration fairway at its flagship Golden Rose Project (“Golden Rose”). The Golden Rose project is strategically located along the gold deposit-bearing Cape Ray – Valentine Lake Shear Zone in Central Newfoundland.
Highlights
Sampling and mapping were carried out along a 15 metre (“m”) wide strip along the north shore of Lake Victoria made possible by unusually low water levels. This strip represents partial exposure of a 4 km stretch along the MPRH exploration fairway;
A total of 47 bedrock and float grab samples were collected along the exposed shoreline, with 22 having grades in excess of 0.1 grams per tonne (“g/t”) Au, of which 8 returned grades in excess of 30 g/t Au including 4 which returned grades in excess of 100 g/t Au;
12 of the bedrock and float samples contained visible gold (“VG”);
A new bedrock occurrence with Rich House type alteration and veining was discovered approximately 1,100 m southwest (“SW”) of Rich House; and
The exposed north shore provided valuable geological information on what is interpreted to be a portion of a highly prospective structural trend extending through much of the large Golden Rose property.
CEO Statement
TRU CEO Steve Nicol commented: “The impressive grade results returned from this program of rock sampling signals that Golden Rose has the potential to generate high grade gold, but more significantly this rare exposure of lake shore has exposed a portion of the larger structural trend that is interpreted to extend for some 33 kms from NE to SW across the Golden Rose property. As only minimal information is currently available along the trend due to bog and till cover, studying this exposed lake shore provides valuable insight into some of the controls on gold mineralization occurring along this larger trend. The collection of many high-grade rock samples, some containing VG, also reinforces the Company’s selection of the MPRH exploration fairway as the focus for initial drill planning. It is a credit to the TRU geological team that it recognized the importance of the opportunity afforded by the unexpectedly low water levels within Victoria Lake and moved quickly to take full advantage of the opportunity.”
Sampling and Mapping
As previously reported (see news release dated October 22, 2024), TRU is in the process of rigorously and methodically assessing the project-wide data for Golden Rose, including geological re-evaluation, infill sampling, and field validation with the objective of developing an updated model of mineralization potential across the entire project area. The initial focus is on the MPRH exploration fairway where drilling is being planned.
The MPRH exploration fairway is a structural corridor interpreted to be up to 2 kilometres (“km”) wide and over 7 km long, stretching from the Mark’s Pond gold zone in the southwest to the Rich House showing to the northeast (“NE”) (Figure 1). For several kilometres, the MPRH exploration fairway is parallel to the northwest shore of Victoria Lake.
FIGURE 1: MPRH exploration fairway location
The 2024 fieldwork program was assisted by unusually low water levels in Victoria Lake leaving exposed a significant amount of the lake shore and thus uncovering a 15 metre (“m”) wide strip along the entire north shore of the lake representing a 4 km stretch of the MPRH exploration fairway.
Sampling and mapping were carried out by the TRU geological team along this strip of exposed shoreline. Bedrock samples were taken from siliceous intervals associated with a contact zone exhibiting iron carbonate alteration that can be tracked over an extensive strike length. Individual siliceous intervals extend to a width of up to 4 m, over 10’s of metres in length. Many of the float samples collected were from angular boulders suggesting that they may not have been transported very far from the original source. A table of samples that returned in excess of 0.1 g/t from the sampling program is provided below (Figure 2). Figure 3 shows the locations of significant samples along the shoreline, close to Rich House.
FIGURE 2: Table of significant sample results (> 0.1 g/t Au)
FIGURE 3: Grab sample locations and assays with geology close to Rich House
The MPRH exploration fairway forms part of a larger structural trend interpreted to extend for some 33 kms in a NE to SW direction across the Golden Rose property. The geology of this structural trend is complex with numerous sedimentary and volcanics lithologies existing as overlapping thrust slices over 10’s of kms. The trend is interpreted to be highly prospective for Au along its entire length but has limited surface expression. The opportunity provided TRU geologists by the recently exposed Lake Victoria shoreline in a portion of the MPRH exploration fairway provides a valuable source of geological information which will assist to advance TRU’s discovery aims for Golden Rose in this much larger structural trend.
High resolution drone imagery has also been collected over the exposed shoreline to document the outcrops for further geological interpretation.
Data Verification
During all exploration sampling and analysis works on its Golden Rose Project, TRU maintains strict quality assurance and quality control programs and has a sample security procedure in place. These are tailored as necessary to be appropriate to the types of samples being collected.
Samples reported on in this news release comprised rock chip and grab samples. These samples were all packed in sealed plastic bags and transported by the TRU Project Geologist directly to the laboratories of Eastern Analytical in Springdale, NL (ISO 17025 certified) for industry standard assay techniques for gold.
All samples containing VG were assayed using total pulp metallics as well as ICP-34 while the remaining samples were analyzed by 30g fire assay with AA finish and ICP-34 techniques. Blank and standard samples were inserted by the laboratory in addition to analysis of duplicate samples.

TRU Copper Exploration Program Returns Samples assaying 3.7% and 3.2% Cu at Golden Rose
TRU Precious Metals Corp. provides results from the 2024 field season copper exploration program at its flagship Golden Rose Project strategically located along the gold deposit-bearing Cape Ray – Valentine Lake Shear Zone in Central Newfoundland.
Toronto, Ontario – November 5, 2024 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU, OTCQB:TRUIF, FSE:706) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide results from the 2024 field season copper (“Cu”) exploration program at its flagship Golden Rose Project (“Golden Rose”) strategically located along the gold deposit-bearing Cape Ray – Valentine Lake Shear Zone in Central Newfoundland. As previously announced (see news releases dated April 18, 2024 and July 16, 2024), TRU has been conducting a targeted exploration program focused on the critical minerals potential of Golden Rose, with special emphasis on copper. Many of the areas targeted have limited exploration to date as Golden Rose is an historically underexplored asset.
The Jacob’s Prospect and King George Prospect areas both returned significant copper values (up to 3.7% Cu) while other locations returned numerous anomalous values, upgrading these targets for future work (Figure 1).
Highlights from the recently completed program are:
At Jacob’s Prospect, four samples comprising bedrock and float assayed from 2.0% to 3.7% Cu with numerous other rock samples assaying up to 1% Cu. This has extended the area of known copper potential at this prospect by approximately 2 kilometres (“km”) to the west-northwest;
At King George Prospect, outcrop and angular float grab samples assayed 3.7% and 2.4% Cu;
At Glenn’s Prospect, outcrop samples returned values up to 0.9 % Cu extending the area of known copper potential by 750 metres (“m”) to the southwest of the original outcrop reported in 2023 (See news release dated October 03, 2023);
Outcrop and angular float samples with highly elevated copper concentrations have been collected over a 5.5 km strike of the Cape Ray Shear Zone from Glenn’s Prospect to Jacob’s Prospect, with similar elevated copper concentrations also obtained from outcrop and angular float approximately 14 km further along the same structure to the southwest at King George Prospect;
Outcrop samples assaying up to 0.17 % Cu, as well as angular float boulder samples assaying up to 0.15% Cu and 1.4 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) were discovered at the new Annie Prospect, a previously unexplored area 3.5 km north-northeast of Glenn’s Prospect; and
Several samples collected across the above-noted prospects also assayed anomalous zinc (“Zn”) values up to 0.95% Zn.
TRU CEO Steve Nicol commented: “We are very encouraged with the results of our latest exploration program, specifically targeting copper and other critical minerals at various locations within the nearly 300 sq.km Golden Rose Project area. This work continues to highlight the potential of the Project to host significant critical mineral occurrences. Further work is required to better evaluate the full potential of these occurrences. We look forward to working with our Golden Rose earn-in partners Eldorado Gold Corporation (“Eldorado”) to incorporate this latest information into the ongoing preparation of a revised and refined project-wide geological and structural model for Golden Rose” (See news release dated October 22, 2024).
Figure 1: Sample locations providing elevated copper results from the 2024 Cu exploration program
The Cu exploration program comprised prospecting, grab (rock) sampling and reconnaissance soil sampling and was undertaken over areas where previous work identified critical mineral prospectivity and also at locations highlighted by remote sensing work.
At Jacob’s Prospect (previously known as Jacob’s Pond and Jacob’s Twin), results include outcrop and angular float grab samples assaying 3.7%, 3.2%, 2.4% and 2.0% Cu, with numerous other Cu mineralized samples identified over a 1.5 km length and samples assaying up to 0.95% Zn. Rock types identified are mafic volcanics with massive, semi-massive and disseminated sulphide mineralization. Antimony (“Sb”) grades up to 0.2% Sb are also present. The Cu mineralization is interpreted as being associated with an east-west trending splay off the Cape Ray Shear Zone, with many of the anomalous samples taken from an area 1.4 km north of the 2022 drilling at Jacob’s Twin (see news release dated September 22, 2022) thereby extending the previously known anomalous copper zone significantly to the west-northwest by approximately 2 km.
At King George Prospect, results include outcrop and angular float grab samples assaying 3.7% and 2.4% Cu, with up to 0.9% Zn also encountered over an area of approximately 500 m x 500 m. The prospect lies in the area of an extensive geophysical anomaly. Rock types sampled are mafic volcanics with disseminated and fracture fill Cu and Zn mineralization.
At Glenn’s Prospect, the copper potential is supported by outcrop samples assaying up to 0.9 % Cu in the area surrounding the initial discovery outcrop. Rock types sampled are mafic volcanics and diabase hosting disseminations and fracture filling sulphide mineralization extending up to 750 m southwest of the initial discovery at Glenn’s Prospect.
At the new Annie Prospect, located in the Annieopsquotch Mountains, outcrop and angular float boulder samples assayed up to 0.17% Cu and up to 1.4g/t Au. Satellite and remote sensing data had previously indicated the potential for critical mineral prospectivity over parts of the Annieopsquotch Mountains. The discovery of elevated copper values in this area based solely on remote sensing data gives confidence that this data set can be used to identify additional base and precious metals mineralization zones at Golden Rose for future exploration.
Results from a soils program at the King George Prospect are pending.

TRU Provides Update on Flagship Golden Rose Project
TRU Precious Metals Corp. provides an update on its flagship Golden Rose Project.
Toronto, Ontario – October 22, 2024 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU, OTCQB:TRUIF, FSE:706) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its flagship Golden Rose Project (“Golden Rose”). In August 2024, the Company completed the granting of an exclusive option (the “Option”) to Eldorado Gold Corporation (“Eldorado”) to earn an 80% ownership interest in Golden Rose, strategically located along the gold deposit-bearing Cape Ray – Valentine Lake Shear Zone in Central Newfoundland (see news releases dated July 30, 2024 and August 22, 2024).
The financial backing of Eldorado, via the Option, is affording TRU the ability to undertake a detailed review of the potential of Golden Rose. The claims that comprise Golden Rose were consolidated over several years, and TRU is now conducting a project wide exercise to understand and update the discovery potential for gold and other minerals across the 300 sq. km project area. The review will methodically apply geoscience and exploration practices across the entire property package.
TRU CEO Steve Nicol commented: “TRU is shifting to a “big picture” perspective of Golden Rose viewing the complete consolidated land parcels and claims as one entity to facilitate the development of an updated model of mineralization potential for the entire property, aimed at optimising the discovery process. TRU is focused on efficiently discovering the full gold and copper potential that may exist at Golden Rose.”
The objective of the initial step in this methodical process, designed in conjunction with Eldorado, is to extract the maximum information and knowledge from existing project data which will be reassessed and verified, then infilled and updated or improved where required. This work, which has already commenced, includes infill and geochemical sampling, reinterpretation of magnetic survey data, prospecting, re-mapping, and re-examination of drill core.
The wealth of information generated from this process will feed into preparation of a revised and refined geological and structural site-wide model, which will be utilized to generate a pipeline of quality drill targets across the property for prioritization and drilling.
While it is expected that this rigorous and methodical assessment will result in the identification of multiple targets across the property, it is initially being focused on the northeast-trending ‘exploration fairway’ between the Mark’s Pond zone and the Rich House zone (7.5km long x up to 2kms wide; Figure 1). Initial targeting in this area is expected to be completed by early 2025 with drilling planned to commence immediately thereafter.

TRU Appoints Experienced Mining Executive Steve Nicol as New CEO
TRU Precious Metals Corp. announces the appointment of Steve Nicol as the new CEO of the Company, effective August 7, 2024.
Toronto, Ontario – August 8, 2024 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU, OTCQB:TRUIF, FSE:706) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Steve Nicol as the new CEO of the Company, effective August 7, 2024. Mr. Nicol is currently a director on the TRU board of directors (the “Board”) and also serves as Technical Advisor to TRU’s strategic investor Ormonde Mining plc (“Ormonde”). One of his initial key focusses will be overseeing the multi-year, partner-funded gold and copper focused exploration program at the Golden Rose Project (“Golden Rose”) in Western-Central Newfoundland pursuant to the earn-in agreement with Eldorado Gold Corporation (TSX:ELD, NYSE:EGO) (“Eldorado”) announced on July 30, 2024.
Mr. Nicol is a mining engineer with over 35 years of experience in the mining industry, including in operations management, mine evaluation and development, and other diverse corporate roles. He has held Operations Management positions in various underground and open pit mines, culminating in a 13-year period as Managing Director and Project Manager of the Spanish-based company that identified, studied, designed, permitted, financed, constructed, and put into successful operation the Barruecopardo Tungsten mine in Western Spain. That mine continues successfully operating today, adjacent to an environmentally protected area, employing some 200 people and selling a high-quality mineral concentrate product across the globe.
A generalist, with a very strong ESG as well as economic focus, Mr. Nicol’s experience covers base, precious and specialty metals, open pit and underground mining, CIL, flotation, and gravity processing, and direct hands-on management of all phases of diverse mining projects from early-stage exploration through to mine closure and rehabilitation.
To transition leadership of the Company, now embarking on an exciting new phase of its development as a Newfoundland mineral resources explorer, Joel Freudman, who has been serving TRU as CEO since founding the Company in its current incarnation in late 2020, has resigned from his positions as CEO and director. Mr. Freudman will continue to provide transitional capital markets advisory support through his Toronto-based merchant bank, Resurgent Capital Corp.
TRU’s Chairman of the Board Manish Z. Kshatriya commented: “I would like to congratulate Steve on his appointment as CEO. Through our work on the TRU Board, I have had the opportunity to get to know him as a highly analytical, strategic thinker with an expansive technical expertise in mining and operations. As the Company is moving forward with more extensive exploration plans, we are certainly in good hands with more technical mining leadership experience. Through its new earn-in arrangement with Eldorado, management believes that TRU and Golden Rose are positioned for significant value creation.”
Mr. Kshatriya continued: “We respect and appreciate Joel’s decision to resign from his positions as CEO and director, to ensure that TRU, under the leadership of Steve and together with the assistance of current serving President and CFO Olga Nikitovic, can deliver operational excellence paving the path for major discoveries. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Joel for his valuable role in identifying and securing the Golden Rose Project opportunity in the Cape Ray-Valentine Lake Shear Zone. Through subsequent tactical acquisitions and option agreements, TRU was able to consolidate a district-scale land package that is now approximately triple the original project size. Joel was pivotal in attracting a number of strategic investments and partnerships for TRU despite challenging market conditions for junior mining companies. The talented team he helped assemble will provide continuity and support for the new CEO. We look forward to Joel’s continued future contributions as capital markets advisor.”

TRU Precious Metals Enters Definitive Option Agreement with Eldorado Gold
TRU Precious Metals Corp. signed a definitive earn-in agreement with Eldorado Gold Corporation, effective July 29, 2024, pursuant to which Eldorado has been granted the exclusive option to earn an 80% ownership interest in TRU’s Golden Rose Project strategically located along the gold deposit-bearing Cape Ray – Valentine Lake Shear Zone in Central Newfoundland.
TRU Grants Option to Acquire 80% Ownership of TRU’s Golden Rose Project
Toronto, Ontario – July 30, 2024 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU, OTCQB:TRUIF, FSE:706) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has signed a definitive earn-in agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with Eldorado Gold Corporation (TSX:ELD, NYSE:EGO) (“Eldorado”), effective July 29, 2024, pursuant to which Eldorado has been granted the exclusive option (the “Option”) to earn an 80% ownership interest in TRU’s Golden Rose Project (as defined below), strategically located along the gold deposit-bearing Cape Ray – Valentine Lake Shear Zone in Central Newfoundland (see Figure 1). All figures are in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated.
TRU Co-Founder and CEO Joel Freudman commented: “We are thrilled to partner with Eldorado to advance the Golden Rose Project, which we consider a strong endorsement of the work completed since optioning the initial land package from Altius Minerals in 2021, including leveraging the support of our strategic investor Ormonde Mining over the past year. Eldorado’s expenditures under the Option Agreement will accelerate the advancement of the Project’s gold and copper potential, while the cash payments will help fund TRU’s corporate overhead as we remain operator of the Project.”
Figure 1: Golden Rose Project Location
Terms of the Option Agreement
In order to acquire an 80% interest in the Golden Rose Project, Eldorado must make payments and incur exploration expenditures (“Exploration Expenditures”) on or before the corresponding dates set forth below:
Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, TRU will initially act as operator of the Golden Rose Project. A technical committee, comprised of three Eldorado representatives and two TRU representatives, will review work programs, exploration expenditures and provide guidance on operations.
The Option Agreement, if exercised, would result in Eldorado owning an 80% interest in each of (a) TRU’s 100%-owned mineral claims and (b) TRU’s right to acquire up to a 65% interest in certain contiguous mineral claims pursuant to an option agreement with Quadro Resources Ltd., as amended (collectively, the “Golden Rose Project”, “Golden Rose”, or the “Project”).
Upon Eldorado exercising the Option, TRU and Eldorado will negotiate and enter a joint venture agreement. If TRU’s interest in such joint venture is diluted below 10%, its interest would convert to a 2% net smelter returns royalty, of which 1% would be re-purchasable by Eldorado for $5,000,000 at the time of commercial production.
The Option Agreement also contains a mechanism by which Eldorado will relinquish rights to portions of the Project containing discoveries of certain excluded critical minerals, specifically zinc and nickel, so that TRU remains beneficial owner of any non-gold and non-copper discoveries.
The Option Agreement is subject to certain conditions, namely: (i) final approval by the TSXV, (ii) approval by the shareholders of the Company as required by the TSXV, which TRU proposes to obtain by written consent; and (iii) TRU’s receipt of certain permits required to conduct Exploration Expenditures. The completion of the granting of the Option is expected on or about August 6, 2024
A copy of the Option Agreement will be filed under TRU’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca. The description of the Option Agreement contained herein is qualified by the complete text of the Option Agreement.

TRU Commences Copper Exploration Program at Golden Rose
TRU Precious Metals Corp’s copper-focused exploration program at its Golden Rose Project in Western-Central Newfoundland is underway.
Toronto, Ontario – July 16, 2024 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU, OTCQB:TRUIF) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its copper-focused exploration program at its Golden Rose Project (“Golden Rose”) in Western-Central Newfoundland is underway. As previously announced on April 18, 2024, exploration will be focused on the critical minerals associated with the deposit-bearing Cape Ray – Valentine Lake Shear Zone, with the view to developing a deeper understanding of the overall critical minerals potential at Golden Rose, and ideally to identifying drill targets for such minerals.
While special emphasis is on copper exploration (“Cu”), the program will also investigate other critical minerals occurrences hosting nickel (“Ni”) and zinc (“Zn”), which have been identified in previous exploration activities carried out by the Company.
Exploration work will include prospecting, grab (rock) sampling, reconnaissance soil sampling and trenching over interpreted critical minerals anomalies determined through previous work by TRU, historical data compilation, and recently acquired high resolution satellite and remote sensing data over the entire property. Many of the planned target areas have had limited exploration to date as Golden Rose is a historically underexplored asset.
Target areas for the exploration program will include locations for which exploration in 2021-2023 identified critical mineral anomalies in soils, rock samples and drill core. These areas include: Jacob’s Pond (up to 3.42% Cu), Jacob’s Twin (up to 11.0% Cu), Jacob’s West (up to 1,094 ppm Cu in soils), Glenn’s Prospect (up to 7.6% Cu), King George IV (up to 0.66% Cu and 1.33% Zn) and Bear Pond (up to 409 ppm Ni) (see Figure 1). The exploration program will also test a number of new opportunity areas which have been identified.

TRU Co-Founder and CEO Joel Freudman commented: “Our exploration season has begun, and we are excited to continue advancing the potential at Golden Rose for additional copper, zinc and nickel discoveries, in addition to the heightened prospectivity for gold. Our top objective for this program, which will be eligible for enhanced government funding, is to hone in on potential critical minerals drill targets, which could supplement the gold-oriented drill program we are preparing for internally. We look forward to evaluating the incoming data from the field program and sharing the results with the market.”
