NEWS RELEASE
Trident Resources Announces Strategic Appointment of David Chan, P.Geo
as Technical Advisor
Vancouver, BC – March 23, 2026 – Trident Resources Corp. (TSX-V: ROCK) (OTCQB:
TRDTF) (“Trident” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. David T.M.
Chan, B.Sc., P.Geo., as Technical Advisor, effective immediately.
Mr. Chan is a Professional Geoscientist and NI 43-101 Qualified Person with more than 36 years
of international experience in mineral exploration, resource estimation, and geological modelling.
He has worked across uranium, gold, and porphyry systems and i s recognized for advancing
projects through effective targeting, data integration, and geological interpretation.
Mr. Chan brings direct exploration and geological experience within the La Ronge Gold Belt,
including prior work at and around the Company’s flagship Contact Lake Mine. During his tenure
with Cameco, he was involved in geological work at Contact Lake that provided him with a strong
understanding of the deposit’s structural controls and mineralization styles. This experience
positions him well to help identify new exploration targets and expansion opportunities both along
strike and at depth.
In addition to his work at Contact Lake, Mr. Chan has led and supported exploration programs
across northern Saskatchewan, including within the La Ronge Belt, where he advanced multiple
gold prospects through drilling and geological modelling toward resour ce definition. His
experience in target generation, drill program design, and interpretation of structurally controlled
gold systems will support Trident’s strategy of expanding known mineralization and unlocking
district-scale potential.
Mr. Chan has also contributed to major mining operations, including the McArthur River Mine,
where his work in geological modelling and data validation supported improved understanding of
complex mineralized systems. This combination of technical rigor and exploration insight will be
directly applied to advancing Trident’s assets. Mr. Chan is a professional geologist with over 36
years of experience in the mineral exploration industry, with a track record of delivering high -
confidence resource estimates and advancing projects from exploration through to production.
Jonathan Wiesblatt, CEO and Director, stated: “ We are pleased to welcome David as Strategic
Advisor. What stands out is not only his depth of experience, but his direct history working in the
La Ronge Gold Belt and familiarity with Contact Lake. That context is incredibly valuable as we
continue to build scale in the district. We look forward to leveraging his technical insight, business
acumen, and network as we execute on our plans for the year ahead.”
