(TSXV: TRU) (OTCQB: TRUIF) (\"TRU\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the results from its soil sampling programs completed along the Jacob's Pond trend (\"Jacob's Pond\") (Figure 1) at its 100% owned Golden Rose Project (\"Golden Rose\" or the \"Project\") located in the highly prospective Central Newfoundland Gold Belt.A total of 1,903 soil samples were collected in this region and include sampling completed during the 2022 field season to infill gaps in historical soil sampling coverage. The soil sampling programs were designed to identify new copper-zinc-lead and gold-silver mineralization and provide additional targets for TRU's 2023 exploration and drilling programs along Jacob's Pond. This target extends over 4 km and includes low- to high-grade critical minerals and gold-silver occurrences which have strong Induced Potential (IP) geophysical and soil anomalies.HighlightsTRU has identified strong copper-zinc and gold soil anomalies across Jacob's Pond, which correspond well with the 2022 diamond drilling results at the Jacob's Twin sub-target along trend. For example, hole JP-22-10 intersected several mineralized zones containing quartz-carbonate veining and copper mineralization, one of which assayed 1.03% copper (Cu), 0.71 g/t gold (Au), and 24.95 g/t silver (Ag) over 3.0m from 193.45 m to 196.45 m hole depth (refer to news release dated September 22, 2022 - \"TRU Opens Up New Copper-Gold-Silver Discovery at Golden Rose\").These soil sampling results also appear to correlate well with a high chargeability IP anomaly near the sheared contact with a flow banded rhyolite, and combined, these datasets have defined a new copper target between 750 m to 1.2 km southwest of the Jacob's Twin target. Soil sampling results have identified at least 8 strong copper and gold soil anomalies up to 3 km west of Jacob's Pond, potentially defining a prominent southwest-trending mineralized fault structure that will be a major focus for additional prospecting, trenching, and drilling to confirm mineralization in bedrock.Joel Freudman, Co-Founder and CEO of TRU, commented, \"We are very pleased with the results of our recent soil sampling programs com...
