[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trailbreaker Resources Ltd. (TBK.V) (“Trailbreaker” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce drill results from the recent 2,039-m first-pass diamond drill program at the Eakin Creek gold property in south-central British Columbia (BC) (see June 29, 2023 news release). Drilling returned gold-bearing intervals in all eleven drillholes, and successfully identified a bedrock source of the surface geochemical anomalies. Additional drilling is recommended in order to expand the known zones of mineralization. Highlights Gold-bearing mineralization was intersected in all eleven drill holes Drilling intersected the bedrock source of the gold-bearing boulder-hosted surface geochemical anomaly comprised of silicified intermediate intrusive rocks Highlights of the drill intersections include: EC-23-02: 1.0 m of 14.3 g/t Au from 67.0 m EC-23-01: 3.0 m of 2.42 g/t Au from 145.0 m, including 1.0 m of 4.94 g/t Au from 147.0 m EC-23-05: 15.7 m of 0.32 g/t Au from 38.3 m, including 2.0 m of 1.50 g/t Au from 52.0 m About Eakin Creek The Eakin Creek property is located 100 kilometres north of Kamloops, BC and can be accessed via Highway #24 and by well-maintained forest service roads. The claims cover 1,610 hectares of prospective ground that drains into placer gold-bearing Eakin Creek. The target was initially acquired due to: the historic ‘G Occurrence’ located on the highway in one of the few exposed outcroppings on the property; a field of gold-bearing boulder samples (inferred to be local), and a grouping of some of the highest gold-in-till values in BC from regional till sampling. During 2022, Trailbreaker completed a 10.75 line-kilometre Induced Polarization (IP) survey, a 302-sample Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) soil survey, and a prospecting program. A 1,000 x 600-metre area was defined as having a gold-silver-copper-antimony (Au-Ag-Cu-Sb) soil anomaly coincident with chargeability and resistivity anomalies. Also, widespread gold mineralization in bedrock and float samples was identified. The 2023 drill program was designed to comprehensively test this area.
