[{"type":"text","content":" Over 10,000 metres of historical core retrieved, logged and sampled to date – assays awaiting Gold targets considerably enhanced through compilation of hundreds of assessment reports and drill logs Documented occurrences of copper and zinc show great potential for associated critical mineral discoveries throughout the property including indium, gallium, cobalt and lithium Little to no evidence of previous analysis for critical minerals in historical work All seven Early Exploration drill permits have now been issued VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trillium Gold Mines Inc. (TSXV:TGM, OTCQX:TGLDF, FRA:0702) (“Trillium Gold” or the “Company”) provides results of extensive compilation of historical data and core sampling activities in the second half of 2022 over its approximate 55,000 hectare Confederation Belt project in Red Lake, Ontario. The project encompasses one of the largest contiguous land positions ever assembled along the same geological trends as the Red Lake Operations [Evolution Mining] and the LP Fault Zone of the ‘Dixie’ discovery [Kinross Gold] in this world-class mining jurisdiction predominantly known for its VMS base metal mineralization. Russell Starr, President & CEO of Trillium Gold stated, “Trillium’s Confederation belt project is our crown jewel bridging over 100 km along the two key north and south structural trends. The ignored potential for gold and now modern-day critical minerals associated with known copper and zinc resources underscores the importance of our early vision to consolidate the greenstone belt in this prolific district. Clearly, we have just begun to scratch the surface of this unprecedented opportunity.” Trillium’s program of re-logging historical core commenced in mid-2022 and continued until just prior to year end with over 10,000 metres of equivalent drilling completed. Selection of the holes was based upon several gold related criteria, chiefly but not limited to, their proximity to high-potential structures, position on-trend of known gold mineralization and proximity to gold showings in historical or field sampling by Trillium. Trillium’s geologists found that very little of the core had been sampled previously, with the limited sampling focused mainly on massive sulphides or EM conductors. Over 3,400 samples have been collected from the historic...
