Triumph Gold Discovers a New Silver and Gold Vein Showing at the Freegold Mountain Project, Yukon

triumph gold Corp. (TSXV: TIG) (OTC Pink: TIGCF) (FSE: 8N6) ("triumph gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the discovery of a new Silver-Gold vein system, now named the Proton Zone, at its 100%-owned Freegold Mountain Project in Yukon, Canada. The discovery lies 1.3 km northeast of the Nucleus Deposit and 2.75 km northwest of the Revenue Deposit.

The Proton Zone was uncovered in fresh bedrock exposed by placer mining at Mechanic Creek in a previously unexplored area. The mineralized zone spans approximately 15 x 15 metres and lies over 300 metres from the nearest historic sampling or drill hole (Figures 1-3). The shear-hosted quartz-sulfide veins share a similar geochemical signature to the nearby Nucleus deposit but are hosted in granodiorite, similar to the Revenue deposit.

Highlights from Proton Zone Sampling (see Table 1):

Grab sample C959830: 1.68 g/t Au, 8.99 g/t Ag, >10,000 ppm As
Chip sample C959831 (30 cm): 5.95 g/t Au, 7.17 g/t Ag, >10,000 ppm As

C959829	380510	6714755	Grab	0.50	1.26	153	9,030	94.4	8.57
C959830	380508	6914767	Grab	1.68	8.99	212	>10,000	153	68.3
C959831	380515	6914772	30cm Chip	5.95	7.17	161	>10,000	38.8	49.6

Other high-grade vein zones have been sampled along Mechanic Creek. The Drone Zone, located 1.3 kilometres south of the Proton Zone, returned up to 450 g/t gold and 19 g/t silver (March 2019). An additional zone 600 meters south of the Proton Zone returned values up to 6.58 g/t gold and 13.6 g/t silver.

These zones all feature gold-silver-copper-arsenic-antimony-bismuth geochemistry and have not been followed up with drilling. Their proximity to the Nucleus and Revenue deposits suggests a potential link to the Revenue porphyry mineralizing event. The Revenue system is similar in style to the Casino deposit, part of the Tintina Gold Belt.

Sample Descriptions:

C959829: Silicified vein-breccia with up to 10% arsenopyrite
C959830: Similar to above, about 10 meters away along the same structure
C959831: Clay-altered, gossanous zone with no visible sulphides, east-trending

triumph gold's VP of Exploration Jesse Halle comments: "Mechanic Creek continues to generate highly prospective exploration targets, demonstrating the significant growth potential of the Revenue and Nucleus deposits. This new zone shows gold-and-silver-dominant geochemistry like the Vest Pocket and Granger zones, the latter being added to the 2020 resource estimate. A new mineralized trend is emerging, and we are excited to see where it leads."

Nucleus Deposit Overview

The Nucleus deposit hosts epithermal gold-silver-copper mineralization within Paleozoic schists and gneisses, crosscut by quartz-feldspar porphyry dykes and a leucogranite stock. Structural control is related to the Big Creek fault system.

2020 Resource Estimate (at 0.30 g/t AuEq cutoff):

Indicated: 31 million tonnes grading 0.65 g/t gold, 0.07% copper, and 0.7 g/t silver
Inferred: 9.4 million tonnes grading 0.56 g/t gold, 0.04% copper, and 0.7 g/t silver

triumph gold's Principal Geologist, Marty Henning, comments: "With rising gold and silver prices, the Nucleus resource is showing strong potential for growth. Mineralization extends below the current $1,500 per ounce gold pit resource, and further drilling along key structural trends could significantly expand the resource."

The last major exploration program at the Nucleus deposit was conducted in 2021. Figure 1, Table 2 and Table 3 provide details of the program and demonstrate the growth potential of the Nucleus deposit. Drilling completed in 2021 was designed to test mineralization continuity along the four corners of the main and northern satellite pit resource, the Big Creek South Fault, and the newly defined Orbit Zone (New Release May 4, 2022). Drill hole attributes are summarized in Table 1, and gold equivalent (AuEq) composite grades are highlighted in Table 2.

Gold equivalent [AuEq] is used for illustrative purposes to express the combined value of gold, silver, and copper as a percentage of gold. No allowances have been made for recovery losses 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, and US$4.00 per pound of copper.

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

Sample Preparation and QAQC

Rock samples from the Freegold Mountain Project Proton Zone were submitted to the ALS Geochemistry laboratory in Whitehorse for sample preparation. Sample pulps were shipped directly to ALS Vancouver for analyses.

Rock samples were weighed, dried and crushed to 70% passing 2 millimetres, then riffle-split to obtain a 250-gram sub-sample pulverized to greater than 85% passing 75 microns (PREP-31). A 0.25-gram sample from each pulp was analyzed for multi-element geochemistry using 4-acid (near-total) digestion and induced coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS), giving 48 elements (ME-MS61). A 30-gram sample from each pulp was analyzed for Au using fire assay and atomic absorption spectroscopy (Au-AA23).

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). Sample preparation is completed at ALS Whitehorse, and sample pulps are shipped to ALS Vancouver for analysis. 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 over-limit 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.

Sample Quality Assurance/Quality Control ("QAQC") measures include unmarked certified reference materials (CRMs), rock blanks, and field duplicates inserted into the sample sequence. These 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.

Blackrock Drills 4.2m of 700 g/t AgEq and Reports Multiple +1 kg/t AgEq Intercepts at Tonopah West

M&I Conversion Program Drilling Continues to Expand and Confirm Continuity of High-Grade Gold and Silver Mineralization in the Shallowest Portion of the M&I Conversion Area

HIGHLIGHTS:

TXC25-138 returned multiple broad zones of high-grade silver and gold mineralization spanning from 230.4 metres to 241.86 metres down hole, including:
- 4.24 metres grading 700 grams per tonne (g/t) silver equivalent (AgEq) (Ag/Au ratio 90:1) (378.5 g/t silver (Ag) and 3.57 g/t gold (Au)) from 230 metres down hole, including 0.31 metres grading 3,182 g/t AgEq (1,805.0 g/t Ag and 15.27 g/t Au); and
- 5.18 metres grading 556 gt/ AgEq (328.2 g/t Ag and 2.53 g/t Au) from 236.68 metres, which included intervals of 3,340 g/t AgEq (1,987 g/t Ag and15.0 g/t Au) over 0.31 metres and 1,714 g/t AgEq (1,037.0 g/t Ag and 7.51 g/t Au) over 0.61 metres respectively.
There are ten drillholes with pending assays from the M&I Conversion Program, and seven drillholes are pending assays from the Resource Expansion program.
Modelling of the M&I Conversion Program drillholes is now underway, with an updated mineral resource estimate on track for Q3, 2025.

Blackrock Silver Corp. (TSXV: BRC) (OTCQX: BKRRF) (FSE: AHZ0) ("Blackrock" or the "Company") announces additional high-grade silver and gold drill intercepts from the M&I Conversion Program (as defined herein) at its 100% owned Tonopah West project ("Tonopah West") located in Nye and Esmeralda Counties, Nevada, United States.

The Company is currently in the process of completing its in-fill drilling program at Tonopah West which commenced in mid-July 2024 and consists of 62 drillholes within the shallow southern portion of the Bermuda-Merten vein group ("DPB South") resource area (the "M&I Conversion Area") with a goal to convert up to 1.0-million tonnes of material from inferred mineral resources to measured and indicated mineral resources (the "M&I Conversion Program"). The M&I Conversion Area represents the initial years of production based on the mine plan laid out in the Company's Preliminary Economic Assessment on Tonopah West (see September 4, 2024 news release).

Andrew Pollard, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: "Additional results from our M&I Conversion Program continue to validate our model, supporting mineral continuity as we track and define the geometry of the high-grade shoots within the vein system. Today's results, coupled with results previously announced from this same program, highlight that broader intercepts are associated with higher-than-average grades which should be beneficial in delineating high-grade tonnes. The broad zones of high-grade mineralization encountered in drillhole TXC-138 are a standout for us, as at a composite of 11.46 metres of 514 g/t AgEq (290 g/t Ag & 2.48 g/t Au), this is thickest (composite) zone we've drilled throughout the district outside of the historic Victor mine. As we await the final assays from the M&I Conversion Program, modelling has begun for our upcoming mineral resource update on Tonopah West, currently on track for Q3, 2025."

AgEq = Ag + Au(Factor); where Factor = (Au Price/Ag Price)(Au Recovery/Ag Recovery or Factor=($1900/$23)*(95%/87%)=90.21; True thickness is 90 to 100% of interval thickness based on the modelled vein geometries; Cut-off grade is 150 gpt AgEq; Reverse Circulation (RC)/Core = RC pre-collar with core tail.

As is evident from Table 1, the highest-grade results are associated with thicker intercepts of quartz vein material. This is similar to previous results seen from the M&I Conversion Program where broader intercepts were encountered, such as: TXC24-095 which returned 5.03 metres of 774.5 g/t AgEq (461.5 g/t Ag and 3.47 g/t Au),¹ TXC24-119 which returned 4.69 metres of 714 g/t AgEq (379.0 g/t Ag and 3.72 g/t Au),² and TXC24-122 which cut 5.21 metres of 563 g/t AgEq (3.02 g/t Au and 292 g/t Ag)³ .This combination of high grade and thickness should have a positive impact on the proposed development of the M&I Conversion Area and the scheduled mineral resource update. Modelling of the M&I Conversion Program drillholes has started and an updated mineral resource estimate on Tonopah West is currently scheduled for Q3 2025.

The geometry of the high-grade silver and gold is sizable with high-grade shoots plunging to the northwest within the M&I Conversion Area. These shoots are open to the northwest, east and open down plunge. TXC25-138 shows high-grade shoots have thicker vein intercepts along the axis of the shoot and multiple high-grade intercepts are being returned under the M&I Conversion Program. Allowing for the 3 metres of internal waste, TXC25-138 would have a drill interval of 11.46 metres grading 290.2 g/t Ag and 2.48 g/t Au or 514.3 g/t AgEq. The thickness of this mineralized shoot is approaching those seen in the historic mining at the Victor and Ohio mines where the Victor vein area was 24 metres thick and the Ohio vein area was 15 metres thick⁴.

Drillholes TXC25-133, -134, -135, and TXC25-136 returned silver and gold assays below the cutoff grade for Table 1. The drillholes returned silver equivalent grades ranging between 100 and 144 g/t AgEq with silver values ranging between 6 to 71 g/t and gold values between 0.51 and 1.34 g/t. There are ten drillholes (TXC25-137, -139, -141, -142, and TXC25-146 to -TXC25-151) with pending assays from the M&I Conversion Program. In addition, seven drillholes are pending assays from the Company's exploration drill program that is targeting expansion potential across a one kilometre trend of vein corridor linking the Denver-Paymaster and Bermuda-Merten vein groups and the Northwest step out resource area at Tonopah West (the "Resource Expansion Program") (see February 24, 2025 news release).

Figure 2 is a plan map showing the location of all the drillholes in the M&I Conversion Program and highlighting those reported in this news release.

Quality Assurance/ Quality Control

All sampling is conducted under the supervision of the Company's project geologists, and a strict chain of custody from the project to the sample preparation facility is implemented and monitored. The RC and core samples are hauled from the project site to a secure and fenced facility in Tonopah, Nevada, where they are loaded on to American Assay Laboratory's (AAL) flat-bed truck and delivered to AAL's facility in Sparks, Nevada. A sample submittal sheet is delivered to AAL personnel who organize and process the sample intervals pursuant to the Company's instructions.

The RC samples are lined out at the lab and logged in to AAL's system. The core samples are cut using core saws and personnel at AAL's facility in Sparks, Nevada according to the Company's instructions delivered with each core hole.

All samples are dried, crushed to 85% passing 10 mesh (2mm) and a 250-gram sub-sample split is collected and pulverized to 200 mesh (74 micron) in a ring and puck pulverizer. Then the pulverized material is digested and analyzed for gold using fire assay fusion and an Induced Coupled Plasma (ICP) finish on a 30-gram assay split (FA-PB30-ICP). Silver is determined using five-acid digestion and ICP analysis (ICP-5AM48). Over limits for gold and silver are determined using a gravimetric finish (GRAVAU30 and GRAVAG30). Data verification of the assay and analytical results are completed to ensure accurate and verifiable results. Blackrock personnel insert a blind prep blank, lab blank or a certified reference material approximately every 15th to 20th sample.

⁽¹⁾		The term "managed operations" refers to subsidiaries managed by AngloGold Ashanti and included in its consolidated reporting, while the term "non-managed joint ventures" (i.e., Kibali) refers to equity-accounted joint ventures that are reported based on AngloGold Ashanti's share of attributable earnings and are not managed by AngloGold Ashanti.

		Managed operations are reported on a consolidated basis. Non-managed joint ventures are reported on an attributable basis.

⁽²⁾		On 22 November 2024, the acquisition of Centamin plc ("Centamin") was successfully completed. Centamin has been included from the effective date of the acquisition.

⁽³⁾		Includes gold concentrate from the Cuiabá mine sold to third parties in Q1 2024.

⁽⁴⁾		The financial measures "headline earnings (loss)" and "headline earnings (loss) per share" are not calculated in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards, but in accordance with the Headline Earnings Circular 1/2023, issued by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants (SAICA), at the request of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange Limited (JSE). These measures are required to be disclosed by the JSE Listings Requirements and therefore do not constitute Non-GAAP financial measures for purposes of the rules and regulations of the US Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") applicable to the use and disclosure of Non-GAAP financial measures.

⁽⁵⁾		The Company is not providing quantitative reconciliations to the most directly comparable IFRS measures for its Non-GAAP financial guidance shown above in reliance on the exception provided by Rule 100(a)(2) of Regulation G because the reconciliations cannot be performed without unreasonable efforts as such IFRS measures cannot be reliably estimated due to their dependence on future uncertainties and adjusting items, including, among other factors, changes in economic, social, political and market conditions, including related to inflation or international conflicts, the success of business and operating initiatives, changes in the regulatory environment and other government actions, including environmental approvals, fluctuations in gold prices and exchange rates, the outcome of pending or future litigation proceedings, any supply chain disruptions, any public health crises, pandemics or epidemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic), and other business and operational risks and challenges and other factors, including mining accidents, that the Company cannot reasonably predict at this time but which may be material. Outlook economic assumptions for 2025 guidance are as follows: $0.65/A$, BRL5.88/$, AP1,099/$, ZAR18.00/$ and Brent $75/bbl.

		Cost and capital forecast ranges for 2025 are expressed in "nominal" terms. "Nominal" cash flows are current price term cash flows that have been inflated into future value, using an appropriate "inflation" rate. Estimates assume neither operational or labour interruptions or power disruptions, nor further changes to asset portfolio and/or operating mines and have not been reviewed by AngloGold Ashanti's external auditors. Other unknown or unpredictable factors, or factors outside the Company's control, including inflationary pressures on its cost base, could also have material adverse effects on AngloGold Ashanti's future results and no assurance can be given that any expectations expressed by AngloGold Ashanti will prove to have been correct. Measures taken at AngloGold Ashanti's operations together with AngloGold Ashanti's business continuity plans aim to enable its operations to deliver in line with its production targets. Actual results could differ from guidance and any deviations may be significant. Please refer to the Risk Factors section in AngloGold Ashanti's annual report on Form 20-F for the financial year ended 31 December 2024 filed with the SEC.

⁽⁶⁾		To enhance comparability with industry peers, AngloGold Ashanti has revised its definition of free cash flow, which is a Non-GAAP financial measure. Pursuant to its revised definition, free cash flow is calculated as operating cash flow less capital expenditure. Operating cash flow is defined as net cash flow from operating activities, plus repayment of loans advanced to joint ventures, less dividends paid to non-controlling interests (e.g., dividends paid to non-controlling interests in Sukari (50%), Siguiri (15%) and Cerro Vanguardia (7.5%)). Free cash flow* figures for prior periods (including Q1 2024) have been adjusted to reflect this change in reporting.
