[{"type":"text","content":" MONTREAL, May 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Troilus Mining Corp. (“Troilus” or the “Company”, TSX: TLG; OTCQX: CHXMF; FSE: CM5R) is pleased to announce the first batch of results from the West Rim Zone (“West Rim”) as part of its ongoing 2026 Exploration Program (see March 31, 2026 press release) at its copper-gold Troilus Project located in northcentral Quebec, Canada. The now concluded West Rim drill program followed up on the newly discovered West Rim Zone, identified in 2024 within 200 metres of the North Reserve Pit outlined in the Company’s 2024 Feasibility Study (see May 14, 2024 press release). The latest drilling significantly expands and strengthens the original discovery, returning some of the strongest near-pit grade-thickness intercepts drilled to date at Troilus. Importantly, all reported intercepts remain entirely outside the current mineral resource estimate while being located in close proximity to planned mining and infrastructure areas contemplated in the 2024 Feasibility Study. The results continue to support the potential for both open pit and underground development scenarios at West Rim. Assays from several holes in the West Rim drill program remain pending. All grades are uncut, and true thicknesses are approximately 75% to 90% of drilled length. West Rim Intercept Highlights (see Figure 1): 2.92 g/t gold equivalent (“AuEQ”) (2.69 g/t Au, 3.24 g/t Ag, 0.03 % Cu) over 19 m, including 7.82 g/t AuEQ (7.76 g/t Au, 3.66 g/t Ag, 0.01 % Cu) over 5 m starting at 99 m downhole in hole WR-26-016. 1.97 g/t gold equivalent (“AuEQ”) (1.94 g/t Au, 1.22 g/t Ag, 0.01 % Cu) over 20 m, including 5.96 g/t AuEQ (5.92 g/t Au, 2.1 g/t Ag, 0.01 % Cu) over 6 m starting at 48 m downhole in hole WR-26-019. Justin Reid, CEO of Troilus, commented, ““Discovered less than two years ago immediately adjacent to our planned reserve pits, West Rim is rapidly emerging as one of the most exciting near-mine discoveries made at Troilus in recent years. The latest drilling has significantly outperformed the initial discovery intercepts announced in 2024 and returned some of the strongest near-pit grade-thickness results encountered to date on the property. What makes these results particularly compelling is that the mineralization remains entirely outside the current resource estimate while sitting within 200 metres of the reserve pits outline...
