(TSXV:TG)(OTCQB:TRRFF) (\"Trifecta\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report the results of a 3D inversion of airborne magnetic and Z-Tipper Electromagnetic (\"ZTEM\") data collected from the Mt. Hinton Project (\"Mt. Hinton\"). Mt. Hinton is located immediately to the southeast of Hecla Mining's Keno Hill Mine and Mill Complex within the Tombstone Gold Belt (\"TGB\") of central and eastern Yukon. Processing of the geophysical data, which was collected earlier this year, has confirmed a large, strong resistivity anomaly at the GC target where granitic boulders were discovered in 2024 (Trifecta Gold Announces ZTEM and Magnetic Results from Mt. Hinton Project, Yukon and Describes Ongoing Research Studies). The resistivity feature, which extends along a 3 km axis oriented northwest-southeast, is defined by values in excess of 1235 ohm-m at surface and widening in size at depth. In addition, the resistivity anomaly is spatially associated with a parallel magnetic anomaly (see attached figures). These results are highly suggestive of a buried intrusion in the floor of Granite Creek that may be the driver of mineralization in the district.Mt. Hinton hosts four major precious metal rich vein trends developed within the Keno Hill Quartzite Formation. Mid- to Late-Cretaceous granitic stocks of the Tombstone and Mayo suites intrude the quartzite sporadically throughout this portion of the TGB. Elsewhere in the belt, Tombstone and Mayo Suite stocks are associated with substantial gold endowments deriving from large arrays of sheeted, sulphide-poor quartz veins hosting native gold. Examples include Snowline Gold Corp.'s Valley deposit, and Sitka Gold Corp.'s RC deposit. Gold mineralization at Mt. Hinton is also thought to be related to this intrusive event, but prior to the 2024 exploration campaign no significant amount of intrusive rock had been identified on the property.Tombstone and Mayo Suite intrusions com...
