Trident Resources Corp. Commences Regional Structural Analysis of La Ronge Gold Belt Properties Trident Resources Corp. announced the commencement of a regional geological structural analysis of available data on their La Ronge Gold Belt Properties in Saskatchewan. The study will be completed by SRK Consulting and will help focus future exploration across the entire Trident claim package. Phase 1 will be a GAP Analysis that focuses on available mapping, drilling, and geochemical data, and any available reports. Also includes a high-level assessment of the current geological interpretation and mineralization controls for orogenic gold. Phase 2 will consist of a Litho-Structural Interpretation of Airborne Magnetic Data. This will be done with current advanced known technologies and knowledge. Program integrated with a three-year collaborative academic structural study with The University of British Columbia. Following the completion of the structural geological interpretation, SRK will prepare a summary report with maps and diagrams. A set of targeting criteria for the AOI will be developed and a set of ranked targets will be produced to inform future exploration. The Company expects 2026 to be very active as exploration efforts continue to expand across the project area. With multiple targets emerging and a growing understanding of the regional geology, the next phase of work will focus on advancing priority areas and testing for additional high-grade orebodies comparable to those that helped establish the Red Lake Camp as one of the world’s highest grade mining camps. Trident remains fully funded with more than $28 million in its treasury. Additionally, assay results from fifteen holes at Contact Lake and eleven holes at the Preview South deposit from the company’s winter drilling program remain pending and are expected in the coming weeks. The structural geological interpretation of the area of interest (AOI) project will focus on understanding the geological history of the project and its relevance to gold mineralization by examining: the geometry of rock fabrics (form line mapping); the distribution and generations of faulting and shear zone development; the distribution and generations of folding; and an option is also proposed to examine the distribution of lithological units. Phase 1 will be a GAP Analysis that focuses on available mapping, drilling, geochemical data, and any available reports, as well as a high-level assessment of the current geological interpretation and mineralization controls for orogenic gold. This high-level review of available remote sensing data will include any available airborne magnetic, electromagnetic, radiometric and elevation data (DEM and/or LiDAR). Data will be evaluated for quality and spatial coverage. Both publicly available and proprietary data will be reviewed. Phase 2 will consist of a Litho-Structural Interpretation of Airborne Magnetic Data. This will be done with current advanced known technologies and knowledge. The scope of work includes a desktop structural geological interpretation of airborne magnetic data to be supplied to SRK by Trident, including: Proprietary, fixed wing aeromagnetic horizontal gradient and VLE-EM survey (75-metre line spacing), acquired by Tundra Airborne Surveys in 2012, covering the Preview, Komis, and Greywacke properties. Proprietary, ground magnetic and IP data, acquired by Bingham Geoscience in 2017 over the Preview SW deposit. Proprietary VTEM data acquired by Geotech in 2018 over the Greywacke, Northlake, Point and Joe deposits. Proprietary IP and drone magnetic data acquired by Dias Geophysical in 2020 over the Hailstone project. Publicly available, regional magnetic compilation data. Data to be acquired from the Saskatchewan Geological Survey. Following the completion of the structural geological interpretation, SRK will prepare a summary report with maps and diagrams. A set of targeting criteria for the AOI will be developed and a set of ranked targets will be produced to inform future exploration. The Company has initiated a collaborative PhD research project with The University of British Columbia Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at UBC Okanagan to develop a regional-scale structural model aimed at identifying the optimal settings for gold deposits across the La Ronge Gold Belt and within Trident’s tenure area. The project is being undertaken in collaboration with Dr. Tarryn Cawood and will integrate academic research with industry-focused exploration objectives. The initial structural assessment to be provided by SRK Consulting will provide a strong technical foundation for the research and support ongoing multidisciplinary collaboration between Trident Resources and UBC-Okanagan researchers. The Company met last week with Saskatchewan’s Minister of Energy and Resources, the Honourable Chris Beaudry, to discuss the province’s growing leadership in the Canadian mining sector and the future development potential of the Contact Lake Gold Project. The meeting highlighted Saskatchewan’s strong investment climate, stable regulatory framework, skilled workforce, and supportive government approach, which continue to position the province as one of the world’s most attractive jurisdictions for mineral exploration and development. Trident also highlighted the significant long-term opportunity at the Contact Lake Gold Project, including ongoing exploration activities, the advancement of priority targets and the project’s potential to contribute to northern Saskatchewan’s economic growth and employment opportunities. With Saskatchewan forecast to see continued growth in mineral exploration spending and resource investment, the Company believes Contact Lake is well-positioned to benefit from the province’s strong momentum in the mining sector.
