[{"type":"text","content":" 25,000 to 30,000 metres of drilling planned across Trillium Gold's advanced and early stage projects Multiple follow-up holes planned to test additional high-priority targets Geological Team has increased to four full time geologists under the leadership of VP of Exploration, Bill Paterson Continuing to explore previously untested structures and geology with attention to optimizing drilling direction VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 28, 2020 /CNW/ - Trillium Gold Mines Inc. (TSXV: TGM) (OTCQX: TGLDF) (\"Trillium\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report that the Company has initiated a major drill program at the Newman Todd Property in Red Lake along with its other earlier stage projects. This is the second phase of drilling in 2020 at Newman Todd, and it is expected to increase to more than 25,000 metres as new targeting methods demonstrate more positive results. Rodren Drilling Ltd. of West St. Paul, Manitoba has been awarded the contract for this next phase of drilling, which is expected to continue well into 2021. \"Having built a strong team of geologists, most have spent much of their careers in Red Lake with Goldcorp and Rubicon Minerals, Trillium has assembled a team with more than 100 years of combined exploration and production experience in the Red Lake Greenstone Belt\" states William Paterson, Trillium Gold's Vice President of Exploration \"We continue to test our geological and structural concepts with this second phase of drilling. The drilling and outcrop data collected over the summer and fall should allow us to complete a targeting model for more than 1,000m of strike length within the Newman Todd Zone, and it is our expectation that our precision in targeting will increase with this better understanding\" Paterson continued. Russell Starr, CEO of Trillium Gold comments \"The initial assay results have proven to be very encouraging. We have tested new drill angles and azimuths which were not tested previously. These are now proving to be very meaningful in understanding the mineralization controls in the camp. With multiple high-priority drill targets, we expect that we will likely increase the phase one drill program from the current 8,000 metres to over 25,000 metres by drilling these carefully thought-out drill holes.\" Results from the remainder of the Phase One drilling program continued to show positive outcome...
