[{"type":"text","content":"Troubadour Announces 2020 Exploration PlansVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 27, 2020) - TROUBADOUR RESOURCES INC. (TSXV: TR) (OTC Pink: TROUF) (the \"Company\") is pleased to announce 2020 exploration plans at the Company's 100% owned Amarillo Copper Project, Southwestern BC. Drilling on the 1km long Trench Anomaly in late 2019 lead to a new porphyry discovery and returned an intercept of 0.14% CuEq over 11.5m (see Company news release dated January 16, 2020). Geophysical and geochemical analysis suggests the discovery intersection clipped the north side of a large porphyry copper target. Staking immediately after the discovery has secured the prospective ground extending towards the south.Exploration Plans for 2020:2,000m of drilling focused on the extensive Trench Anomaly, following up on the 2019 drill discovery of 0.14% CuEq over 11.5m as well as other high priority targets.Expand geophysical coverage to include newly acquired ground to the south and high priority regional targets following up on grab samples assaying 0.43% and 0.49% Cu. Age dating of porphyry mineralization to understand the relationship with district scale mineralization.\"We are very encouraged by the alteration and mineralization encountered during the latest drill program. This is a brand-new discovery in an area that has seen exploration activity for decades. Using a systematic approach to exploration, we discovered a new porphyry system in only our sixth exploration drill hole. We have just touched the edge of a large porphyry system within the extensive Trench Anomaly and see great potential for increased grade and thickness of mineralization as we explore south to the core of the anomaly,\" states Geoff Schellenberg, Company President.The porphyry mineralization encountered in the Fall 2019 drill program transitioned the Company's exploration model from concept to reality and was a large step forward for the project. The age of the mineralizing event at Amarillo is an important indicator in the prospectivity of the project and has been a recurring question in meetings with industry peers who have shown interest in the project. The company is currently in the final stages of selecting a supplier of this service and expects to receive this age data in Q2.In addition to the age dating, the Company is planning to extend existing g...
