[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Triumph Gold Corp (TSX-V: TIG) (OTCMKTS: TIGCF) (“Triumph Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce plans for the upcoming exploration season on their 100% owned, 200 square kilometre, road-accessible Freegold Mountain Project in the prolific Dawson Range district of mining-friendly Yukon Territory. The Project is host to three NI 43-101 Mineral Deposits and covers an extensive section of the Big Creek Fault zone, a structure related to epithermal gold and silver mineralization as well as gold-rich porphyry copper mineralization. The primary goal of the proposed exploration program is to significantly advance underexplored, near-surface gold targets of the Freegold Mountain Project. This includes epithermal gold targets of the Mount Freegold Property, southeast of the Nucleus and Revenue Deposits, as well as shallow gold targets related to the gold-rich porphyry copper mineralization surrounding the Revenue Resource area. The latter will be guided in part using a new drillhole-constrained 3D magnetic inversion geophysical model received from Mira Geoscience earlier this year. “The 2020 exploration program is aimed at unlocking the higher grade gold areas of the Freegold Mountain Project that our Technical Team have been working on over the past couple of years,” said John Anderson, Executive Chairman. “Now that there is a clear path to be able to work in Yukon given delays due to COVID-19, we are very pleased to start drilling the first week of August. We are truly excited about what these projects can deliver using a ‘gold first’ exploration focus.” Highlights of the 2020 exploration program include: Testing the Irene-Goldstar Epithermal Au-Ag Corridor with well-spaced step-out drillholes from the successful 2018 drill campaign at the Irene Zone, through the Vindicator Zone, culminating at the Goldstar Au-Ag Vein on top of Freegold Mountain Trenching and inaugural drill testing of the highly prospective Melissa Epithermal Zone: a massive multi-element soil anomaly with similarities to the Nucleus Au-Ag-Cu Resource Drill testing a shallow, underexplored, geophysical and geochemical porphyry copper-gold target south of the phyllic-altered Keirsten Zone, as well as a geophysical target identified by the recent drillhole-constrained 3D magnetic inversion model Tre...
