TriMetals Mining Inc. Reports First Results from Gold Springs 2017 Drilling Program

TriMetals Mining Inc. (TSX: TMI) (OTCQX: TMIAF), (“TMI” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce the first 2017 drill results from the Gold Springs project located in Nevada and Utah. All the reported drilling is located on the Utah side of the project and includes the first 2017 hole from the Central Jumbo area located 1,000 metres south of the Jumbo resource and 600 metres northeast of the South Jumbo resource (Etna). Results from the first hole (SS-17-001) drilled in this area includes 21.3 metres @ 1.53 g/t Au and 2.5 g/t Ag. In addition, TMI reports results received to date from the South Jumbo target in the historic Etna Mine area. Highlights from this drilling include 80.8 metres at 0.74 g/t Au and 7.2 g/t Ag in hole E-17-005 and 83.8 metres at 0.64 g/t Au and 6.5 g/t Ag in hole E-17-003.

Ralph Fitch, President and CEO of the Company stated, “The results from the first holes of the 2017 drill program continue to expand the footprint of the mineralization within the Jumbo Trend confirming the expansion potential. The first 2017 hole in Central Jumbo (SS 17-001) starts to join our two Jumbo resource blocks, one in the north and one in the south together. Drilling is clearly both outlining and filling in the potential of this 5.5 km long structural trend. With less than 20% of this target drilled and less than 15% of project wide targets drilled we continue to believe in the substantial potential of the Gold Springs Project.”

TMI has received results for a total of nine holes in the South Jumbo target, in the area of the historic Etna Mine, and one hole in the Central Jumbo area. These holes were designed to test the character of the gold mineralization in the Central Jumbo area and continue to expand the recently reported resource at South Jumbo (PR 17-05, March 29, 2017). Drilling also tested an area 200 metres to the east of the South Jumbo resource which is obscured by post-mineral cover.
Holes E-17-001 and E-17-006 tested the area east of the South Jumbo resource, while holes E-17-002, E-17-003, E-17-004 and E-17-005 were designed to expand the South Jumbo resource and better understand the mineralization. Holes E-17-007, E-17-008 and E-17-009 were drilled near the southern end of the Jumbo trend south of the South Jumbo resource.
Results from the first 9 holes at South Jumbo and the first hole in Central Jumbo include:

Hole E-17-001 was drilled toward the east of the current resource and stayed in post mineral material until a depth of 143.3 metres before it intersected altered and mineralized rocks which included 3 metres of 0.67 g/t Au and 3.2 g/t Ag near the bottom of the hole. This altered and mineralized zone suggests there may be a parallel system 200 metres east of the current South Jumbo resource. Hole E-17-006 was also drilled toward the east of the resource block and contained weakly altered material but no significant gold mineralization. Hole E-17-007, drilled south of the South Jumbo resource, intersected a 3 metre void created by an old mine working. Seven and a half metres on either side of the void carried plus half gram gold, so total intercept would have been approximately 18 metres. Holes E-17-008 and E-17-009 were drilled in the very southern end of the Jumbo trend and entered weakly mineralized fault blocks with no significant gold values.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control
Approximately 10 kg of RC chips were sent to the laboratory for each 1.52 metre drill interval. Fifteen percent of the samples submitted by the Company are blanks and standards for QA/QC purposes. In addition, the laboratory also includes duplicates of samples, standards and blanks. The results of these check assays are reviewed prior to the release of data. All RC chip sample assays are also reviewed for their geological context and checked against the drill logs.
Assay Method
TMI Assays were performed in Sparks, Nevada by Bureau Veritas Mineral Laboratories, an ISO 9001:2000 Certified laboratory. Gold was analyzed by fire assay of a 30-gram sample with an AAS finish with samples assaying greater than 10 g/t re-assayed using a 30-gram sample and a gravity finish. All other elements were analyzed by a four acid leach ICP method coded MA300.
