    • Payable metal of 99% for Au;
    • Offsite costs (TC/RC/Transport) for Au of US$5.80/oz;  
    • Pit slopes are 45 degrees;
    • Mining cost of mineralized material of CDN$2.56/t and CDN$2.40/t for waste, and;
    • Processing costs of CDN$15.60/t with G&A costs of CDN$7.20/t. 
  1. Metallurgical recoveries are 90% for all deposits.
  2. Forex = 0.72 $US:$CDN
  3. The NSR equation is: NSR (CDN$/t) = (Au*90%*CDN$114.68/g)
  4. The specific gravity for each deposit and lithologies or domains ranges from 2.40 to 2.91.
  5. Numbers may not add due to rounding.

TECHNICAL REPORT DETAILS:

The updated MRE was prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and industry best practices. Key aspects of the resource modeling include updated wireframing, optimized block modeling, and classification based on drill spacing and geological continuity. Gold resources have been reported using appropriate cut-off grades and constrained within reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction.

The Technical Report entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report on Updated Mineral Resource Estimates for the Preview SW, Preview North, North Lake and Greywacke Deposits, La Ronge Gold Belt, Saskatchewan, Canada" has been filed on SEDAR+ and contains detailed supporting information regarding data inputs, assumptions, methodologies, and resource tables.

Jon Wiesblatt, CEO of Trident Resources, stated: "This updated Mineral Resource Estimate represents a meaningful step forward for Trident, demonstrating substantial growth in gold ounces and improved confidence across our La Ronge Gold Belt deposits," said Jon Wiesblatt, CEO of Trident Resources. "Importantly, this MRE does not include any resources from our flagship Contact Lake Project, where recent drilling has delivered exceptional results. Building on a very successful Fall 2025 campaign, we are preparing to commence a fully funded, minimum 10,000-metre winter drilling program at Contact Lake shortly. We believe this next phase of drilling has the potential to be a significant catalyst as we continue to unlock the broader value of our district-scale asset base.".
