Trident Resources Announces the Acquisition of Claims from Eagle Plains Resources
Within the La Ronge Gold Belt in Saskatchewan, Canada
Vancouver, BC, August 12 th, 2025 – Trident Resources Corp. (TSX-V: ROCK) (OTCQB:
TRDTF) (“Trident” or the “ Company”) is pleased to announce that it has signed a non-arm’s
length agreement (the “Agreement”) with Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (“Eagle Plains” or “EPL”)
pursuant to which the Company has acquired a 100% interest in a number of dispositions
comprising 16,245 ha in four individual blocks (the “Properties”) that border the Company’s core
high-grade gold assets within the highly prospective La Ronge Gold Belt. The road-accessible
claims are located along a high-voltage power transmission line and are centered approximately
30km NE of La Ronge, Saskatchewan.
Acquisition Highlights:
Attractive acquisition price, (see Agreement Terms, below);
Highly prospective land package with numerous showings proximal to Trident’s core high-
grade gold projects of Contact Lake and Greywacke;
Multiple high priority targets on the newly acquired property that are on trend with our main
assets; with numerous documented gold showings returning values ranging from trace
mineralization to up to 45.5 g/t Au; and
The Company has over $11.0M in cash and marketable securities on its balance sheet.
Trident is fully funded for its upcoming summer drilling program at its flagship Contact
Lake Gold Project and is in a great position to unlock value and create significant
shareholder value.

Jonathan Wiesblatt, Trident’s CEO, commented: "Our latest land acquisition further adds to
Trident’s overall portfolio of highly prospective claims in the La Ronge Gold Belt. The Company
is in an excellent financial position to maximize the value of our existing gold projects in addition
to adding strategic new claims surrounding our current project portfolio. Trident is well-funded
with over $11.0M in cash and marketable securities on its balance sheet. Over the next few
months, the Company will focus on its exploration work which includes drilling at Contact Lake to
confirm the high-grade potential resources and testing the extension of the trend both along strike
and at depth.”
Geological Summary:
The newly acquired claims are underlain by the northeast-trending La Ronge Domain Central
Metavolcanic Belt supracrustal rocks that consist of mafic to intermediate pyroclastics and flows.
Numerous gold showings are documented within the newly acquired claims and typically consist
of pyrite and associated gold mineralization within rusty, vuggy quartz veining hosted within a
sheared sequence of andesitic to dacitic rocks and granitic plugs.
Agreement Terms – Payments and Commitments:
The purchase price payable by the Company to Eagle Plains for the Properties shall consist of
(a) $14,370 (the “Cash Consideration”) and (b) the NSR Royalty. The Royalty is subject to a 2%
NSR on all 24 claims with a buy-back of $1M for 1%.
The Agreement is not an “Arm’s Length Transaction” as such term is defined in the TSX Venture
Exchange’s (the “Exchange”) Policy 1.1 and therefore constituted a “related party transaction” as
such term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in
Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). Tim Termuende is a director of the Company and is also a
director and officer of Eagle Plains.
In respect of the requirements of MI 61-101 and Exchange Policy 5.9, the Company relied on the
exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval required under MI 61-101. The
Company was exempt from the formal valuation requirement of MI 61-101 in reliance of sections
5.5(b) as no securities of the Company are listed on the specified markets outlined therein.
Additionally, the Company was exempt from minority shareholder approval of MI 61-101 in
reliance of section 5.7(1)(a) (fair market value not more than 25% of the Company’s market
capitalization).
In accordance with the Exchange Policy 5.3, the Agreement constitutes a “Reviewable
Transaction”, as such transaction involves a “Non-Arm’s Length” party.
The Agreement is subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
