[{"type":"text","content":"TRU Precious Metals Moves Drilling to King George IV Area of Golden Rose Project After Discovering More Visible Gold Grains at SurfaceFredericton, New Brunswick--(Newsfile Corp. - November 18, 2021) - TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV: TRU) (OTCQB: TRUIF) (FSE: 706) (\"TRU\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that the Company has commenced drilling in the King George IV lake area (\"KG4\") at its flagship Golden Rose Project (\"Golden Rose\"), in the Central Newfoundland Gold Belt, building off a recently-completed IP geophysical survey. This is part of the Company's approximately 5,000 metre (m) diamond drill program underway at Golden Rose, as previously announced on October 19, 2021. Highlights500m x 400m IP anomaly identified near pristine gold grains on shoreline of KG4Larger, approximately 1.5 kilometre (km) x 1.1 km horseshoe shaped IP anomaly identified near a cluster of quartz stockwork containing chalcopyrite, sphalerite, pyrite and pyrrhotiteTill sampling at KG4 yielded numerous anomalous values over 500 parts per billion (ppb) gold (Au), including 1,699 ppb Au coincident with IP anomalyFirst ever drill program at KG4 Barry Greene, VP of Property Development and Director of TRU, commented: \"As we take a pause to await assay results from our drilling at the Wood Lake Gold Zone, including drill core with visible gold, we are excited to have now moved drilling to the never-before-drilled KG4. Between these new till sampling results showing significantly more visible gold grains at KG4, and the IP survey delineating clear drill targets, we believe that we are vectoring in on the potential source of the earlier visible gold grains we discovered and announced on July 14, 2021. We are very encouraged that these samples contain higher gold concentrations.\"Current ExplorationTRU is pleased to report that several geologically well-situated IP targets have been identified and initial drill targets have been selected. The initial drilling is focusing on a 500m x 400m N-S trending IP anomaly (Figure 1) located a few hundred meters upslope of the KG4 shoreline, where 97 gold grains were returned from the previously-announced panned sample containing numerous pristine gold grains. The IP anomaly is directly upslope of the cemented hardpan gossan identified near those gold grains. A similar layer of hardpan gossan can also be...
