Triumph Gold Corp. (TSX-V: TIG | OTCMKTS: TIGCF | Frankfurt: 8N61) ("Triumph Gold" or "the Company") is pleased to announce results from 896.72 metres of diamond drilling in 3 holes from the Blue Sky Zone ("BSZ") within the Revenue Deposit at the Freegold Mountain Project (Figure 1), highlighted by 106.50 metres ("m") of 0.76 grams per ton ("gt") gold equivalent 1 ("AuEq") in RVD21-05.

 

  Highlights:  

 

During the 2021 exploration program, three drill holes were completed at the Blue Sky Zone totaling 896.72 metres (Figure 2, Tables 1 and 2).

 
  • Drilling encountered multiple styles of mineralization including porphyry-style stockwork veins, disseminated sulphides, sulphide breccias, and epithermal veins
  •  
  • Drilling added near-surface mineralization of the Blue Sky Zone within the open pit resource (Figure 2)
    • 106.50 metres of 0.76 g/t AuEq from 120.00 metres in RVD21-05  
      • Containing 0.27 g/t gold ("Au"), 5.43 g/t silver ("Ag"), 0.22% copper ("Cu"), and 0.014% molybdenum ("Mo")
      •  
    •  
    • 26.82 metres of 0.67 g/t AuEq from 169.18 metres in RVD21-06  
      • Containing 0.50 g/t Au, 1.54 g/t Ag, 0.07% Cu, and 0.004% Mo
      •  
    •  
    • 15.65 metres of 0.49 g/t AuEq from 205.35 metres in RVD21-06  
      • Containing 0.22 g/t Au, 2.01 g/t Ag, 0.09% Cu, and 0.017% Mo
      •  
    •  
    • 71.00 metres of 0.51 g/t AuEq from 204 metres in RVD21-07  
      • Containing 0.19 g/t Au, 1.39 g/t Ag, 0.06% Cu, and 0.036% Mo
      •  
    •  
  •  
  •   RVD21-06 intersected porphyry-style mineralization with 27.00 metres of 0.44 g/t AuEq from 244.00 metres
    • Containing 0.17 g/t Au, 2.38 g/t Ag, 0.09% Cu, and 0.015% Mo
    •  
  •  

The Blue Sky Zone is defined by 12 drill holes: three holes from the 2021 program (Table 1) and nine historical holes (Table 3). The Blue Sky Zone is a NE-striking, near vertical body of Au-Cu-Ag-Mo mineralization that remains open at depth. The Revenue Deposit is made up of the Blue Sky Zone , WAu Zone, and zones of Cu-Mo-Au porphyry-style mineralization.

 

The Blue Sky Zone has been expanded 100 metres westwards and towards the surface with a modeled strike length of 210 metres. The zone has an average width of 70 metres and a depth of 480 metres below surface. The 2021 drilling program expanded both the Blue Sky Zone and the WAu Zone and reduced the gap between the two zones to 65 metres (Figure 2).

 

46% of the 6,615 metres of the 2021 diamond drilling program have been reported to date (   PR#21-11   ). Further updates will be provided when the results for the remainder of the 2021 exploration program are received and interpreted from the Nucleus Deposit, Big Creek South Fault Zone, the Orbit Zone, and regional exploration activities (Figure 1).

  "We are pleased to report these exceptional drill results that support the teams' geological interpretation of the    Blue Sky Zone    extending towards surface within the open-pit resource.   We are excited that the    WAu Zone    and    Blue Sky Zone    continue to grow bulk-tonnage mineralization within the    Revenue Deposit,    " stated Brian May, President, Triumph Gold Corp.

 

  Detailed Interpretation and Geology  

 

RVD21-05 intercepted the Blue Sky Zone and returned 106.50 metres of 0.76 g/t AuEq from 120.00 metres. This intercept is located 60 metres southwest of RVD18-16, which had an intercept of 110.42 metres grading 1.86 g/t AuEq (   PR#18-08   ). The 2021 program expanded the Blue Sky Zone 100 metres westwards and towards the surface (Figure 2). The updated expression of the Blue Sky Zone is now modeled to be 65 metres from the WAu Zone , suggesting the two zones may be linked in a NE orientation (Table 1 and Figure 2).

 

Mineralization at the Blue Sky Zone is hosted within hydrothermally-altered granodiorite and contains two overlapping mineralization events:

 
  • The first and most abundant mineralization event is associated with strong potassic alteration with K-feldspar grading outwards into biotite, suggesting a high-temperature porphyry zone. Sulphide mineralization (chalcopyrite, molybdenite, pyrite and pyrrhotite) is characterized by clots, veinlets, and disseminations.
  •  
  • The second phase of mineralization is hosted by epithermal quartz-calcite veins with mineralization of chalcopyrite, molybdenite, galena, sphalerite +/- bismuthinite and visible gold, representing metal enrichment.
  •  

Porphyry-style mineralization was intercepted south of the modeled Blue Sky Zone (Figure 2, Tables 1 and 4). Porphyry-style mineralization consists of local sulphide +/- quartz stockwork veining with broad zones of disseminated sulphide mineralization surrounding vein clusters and local fine grained native gold (Figure 4).

  References and Disclosures  

 

  1 Gold equivalent [AuEq] is used for illustrative purposes, to express the combined value of gold, silver, copper, and molybdenum as a percentage of gold. No allowances have been made for recovery losses that would occur in a mining scenario. AuEq is calculated using US$1,750.00 per troy ounce of gold, US$24.00 per troy ounce of silver, US$4.00 per pound of copper and US$15.00 per pound of molybdenum:

 

  AuEq = Au g/t + (Ag g/t X $24.00 / $1750.00) + (Cu% X $4.00 X 22.0462) / ($1750.00 / 31.10) + (Mo% X $15.00 X 22.0462) / ($1750.00 / 31.10)  

 

Reported assay intervals are calculated using Micromine's grade compositing tool using >0.25 g/t AuEq cutoff, constrained by no more than 6 metres of consecutive internal dilution. High-grade intervals are reported using >1.0 g/t AuEq cutoff with no more than 5 metres of consecutive internal dilution.

 

Reported assays are uncut weighted averages and represent drilled core lengths. The true width of reported mineralization is unknown.

 

  2 Reinterpretation of the Blue Sky   Zone was completed by reviewing historical drill holes along the NE trend. Geological data (core logs, assays, and core photos) was inspected for structural and geochemical signatures that match characteristics of the Blue Sky   Zone . AuEq values are reported using current metal prices for both historical and newly identified intercepts.

 

  Sample Preparation and QAQC  

 

Diamond drill holes at the Freegold Mountain Project are drilled using HTW and NTW core sizes (70.92 millimetres and 56.00 millimetres diameter respectively). Drill core samples average 1.63 metres in length with a minimum length of 0.50 metres and a maximum length of 2.00 metres except at the top of RVD21-07 where core loss resulted in a sample length of 4.66 metres. Drill core is cut along the long axis of the core over the entire length of the drill hole. Sample intervals are defined by mineralization, lithology, structure, and alteration boundaries.

 

Sample preparation is completed at ALS Whitehorse with sample pulps shipped to ALS Vancouver for analyses. Samples are dried and crushed to 70% less than 2 millimetres with a 250-gram riffle-split and pulverized to better than 85% passing 75 microns (PREP-31).

 

A 50-gram sample from the pulp is analyzed for gold using fire assay techniques and atomic absorption spectroscopy with detection limits of 0.005-10 parts per million ("ppm") (Au-AA24). Gold overlimit values are re-analyzed using a gravimetric finish with an upper detection limit of 10,000 ppm (Au-GRA22). A 0.25 gram sample from the pulp is analyzed with multi-element geochemistry (ME-ICP61) using a 4-acid near total digestion and induced coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) providing 33 elements (Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ga, K, La, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, S, Sb, Sc, Sr, Th, Ti, Tl, U, V, W, Zn).

 

Sample Quality Assurance/Quality Control ("QAQC") measures include unmarked certified reference materials (CRMs), rock blanks, and field duplicates are inserted into the sample sequence and make up 5% of the samples submitted to the lab for holes reported in this release. Additional QAQC checks are ongoing in accordance with 43-101 standards.

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.
