[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver, BC, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trident Resources Corp. (TSXV: ROCK) (OTCQB: TRDTF) (Frankfurt: 6BP0) (“Trident” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results for 5 (five) diamond drill holes from the 2026 winter drill program at the Contact Lake Gold Project in northern Saskatchewan. Hole CL26036 represents the best drill result to date by Trident and returned high-grade gold values from a broad zone of variably sheared host rocks within and adjacent to the Bakos Shear Zone. Trident’s Regional Project Location Map All five holes were collared on the ice of Contact Lake to target gold mineralization in the BK3 Zone, an area located over 200m ENE along strike from the Contact Lake Main Zone. These latest results demonstrate the mineralizing system at Contact Lake consistently delivers broad mineralized intervals with well‑developed high‑grade cores. Gold mineralization at Contact Lake is both laterally and vertically extensive and remains open in all directions. Contact Lake Gold Property Map Highlights: Hole CL26036 returned 15.11 g/t gold (Au) over 51.83m from 256.00m including 14.60 g/t Au over 12.77m from 258.64m in the hanging wall including 20.69 g/t Au over 28.69m from 280.50m in the Bakos shear including two single assay results that returned 256.00 g/t Au over 0.55m (from 258.64m) and 1055.00 g/t Au over 0.50m (from 307.33m) Hole CL26032 returned 5.07 g/t Au over 21.50m from 359.50m All holes reported intersected gold mineralization; assays are pending for fifteen more holes from the Contact Lake program Winter drilling activity has now concluded with 29 holes complete; additional upcoming drilling planned to start in late Spring “Results thus far from the winter program at Contact Lake demonstrate significant continuity of mineralization, support the scalability of the deposit, and indicate substantial remaining exploration potential,” said Jon Wiesblatt, Trident’s Chief Executive Officer. “The intercept reported in Hole CL26036 represents a rare, high-grade result in Canadian gold exploration. Results to date at Contact Lake are comparable in style and tenor to other significant high-grade discoveries in Canada, including the Dixie Project in Red Lake and Eskay Creek in British Columbia’s Golden Tr...
