(TSXV: ROCK) (OTCQB: TRDTF) (“Trident” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce additional positive diamond drill results from a further ten holes during its autumn 2025 drill program at the Contact Lake Project. To date, the company has released assay results from thirteen holes out of the total nineteen holes drilled. The holes that are reported in this release were all collared northeast of the existing underground mine infrastructure to test for lateral extensions of the gold mineralization at relatively shallow depths. Holes CL25014 to CL25019 tested the extension of the mineralization below the known mine workings and assays are pending. Additionally, the Company is mobilizing for a major follow-up winter drill program which will commence soon. Highlights: - The first thirteen holes in Trident’s inaugural drill program at Contact Lake all intersected substantial gold mineralization within broad zones of shearing and alteration at relatively shallow depths - Hole CL25006 returned 7.28 g/t gold over 15.0m from 272.0m including 16.69 g/t Au over 6.0m from 272.0m - Hole CL25007 returned 4.43 g/t Au over 39.5m from 329.5m including 5.76 g/t gold over 15.5m and 9.43 g/t Au over 6.0m from 329.5m - Hole CL25005 returned 5.66 g/t gold over 5.94m from 100.06m including 42.95 g/t gold over 2.55m from 142.0m - Hole CL25008 returned 7.41 g/t gold over 6.0m from 139.0m - Sizeable, fully-funded winter drill program to commence shortly at Contact LakeJon Wiesblatt, CEO of Trident Resources, stated: “These results continue to validate Contact Lake as a high-grade orogenic gold system with blue-sky upside. Every drill hole thus far has intersected notable mineralization including several holes with very high-grades over wide intercepts. The drilling has tested zones outside the historical mine footprint at the past-producing Cameco operation which underscores the scale and potential that remains untapped. Our team believes this will add significantly to the recent resource estimate announced by the Company es...
