Trifecta Gold Announces Phase One 2025 Exploration Plans for Mt. Hinton
Trifecta Gold Announces Phase One 2025 Exploration Plans for
Mt. Hinton
• Fully funded, inaugural drill campaign at the GC target.
• Mapping and prospecting in the southern portion of Mt. Hinton.
• Detailed surface sampling to better characterize known gold veins.
• Continued mapping, prospecting and research studies in partnership with the
Yukon Geological Survey and Canadian Universities.
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 17, 2025 / Trifecta Gold Ltd. (TSX-
V:TG)(OTCQB:TRRFF) ("Trifecta" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that crew and
equipment are mobilizing to its road accessible Mt. Hinton project, situated within the
Keno Hill Mining District of the Tombstone Gold Belt. The Mount Hinton Project is located
less than 4 km from Hecla Mining Company's Keno Hill mill.
"Trifecta is excited to conduct the first ever drill campaign targeting a potential source
intrusion at Mt. Hinton, " states Richard Drechsler, President and CEO of Trifecta. "The
extensive system of precious metal rich veins at Mt. Hinton is theorized to be related to a
local intrusive event. The geochemical zonation at Mt. Hinton, and the larger Keno Hill
District, combined with a distinct magnetic signature and a concomitant resistivity high at
the GC target suggest the presence of a near surface intrusion in the floor of the Granite
Creek valley. "
Drilling
Trifecta plans to drill a minimum of 1,000 m at the GC target to determine the bedrock
source of a conspicuous resistivity and magnetic anomaly on the floor of Granite Creek.
Existing roads extending through the geophysical anomaly will allow for track mounted drill
access. A recent ground-based resistivity survey conducted by placer miners at the GC
target suggests up to 18 m of till cover above the bedrock interface. Granitic rocks were
discovered in float at this location late in 2024.
Mapping, Prospecting and Soil Sampling
Previous soil surveys have identified large areas with gold-in-soil results greater than 100
ppb that have not been explained by follow up prospecting, one of which is located directly
northwest of the GC target. Prospecting in 2024 within a previously identified soil anomaly
to the southwest of the GC target discovered quartz veining in float that assayed 2.07 g/t
gold. The mineralization in this area is hosted in narrow veinlets cutting quartzites, similar
to mineralization seen at Banyan's Aurmac Deposit. Large, highly productive placer mining
operation are located directly downhill from both geochemically anomalous areas.
Geological mapping at Mt. Hinton will continue as part of a planned, multi-year research
program in the Keno Hill District, undertaken by the Yukon Geological Survey, Simon Fraser
University, the University of Alberta and partner companies. This work is intended to better
characterize the styles of mineralization at Mt Hinton and other projects within the Keno
Hill District and to determine its context within the broader Tombstone Gold Belt.
About Mt. Hinton
Mt. Hinton is a road accessible, camp-scale property with over 60 precious metals veins
identified to date. The project is underlain by direct extensions of the stratigraphy that
hosts Hecla's Keno Hill Mines and, because of this, much of the historical exploration at
Mt. Hinton focused on its silver potential. Surprisingly, historical workers largely overlooked
gold potential, despite visible gold that has been found in many of the known veins. Many
bonanza grade (>100 g/t gold) assays have been reported from surface grab and chip
samples.
There are active placer mines on the creeks draining in all directions from the property.
Based on metal zonation within the district and the regional magnetic signature at Mt.
Hinton, a reduced intrusion on the property is theorized to be the driver for much of the
mineralization in the district. Many recently identified gold-in-soil anomalies have yet to be
prospected and a large magnetic low in the southeastern part of the project, the GC Target,
will be drilled in 2025.
Tombstone Gold Belt
Extending more than 1000 km from the Fairbanks district in Alaska eastward across the
entire width of Yukon, the Tombstone Gold Belt hosts many large Reduced Intrusion-
Related Gold System (RIRGS) mines such as Fort Knox in Alaska (>10 million oz), Eagle and
Olive in Yukon (>4 million oz) and the past-producing Brewery Creek Mine, also in Yukon.
Since May 2020 over 17 million additional ounces of gold have been discovered in the
Yukon portion of the belt, including Snowline Gold's Tier 1 Valley discovery, Sitka Gold's RC
deposit, Banyan Gold's AurMac deposits and Victoria Gold's Raven deposit.
Tombstone Gold Belt systems are characterized by sheeted, auriferous quartz veins
forming in the carapace zones of Cretaceous-age plutons. They have a characteristic
geochemical signature with a gold-bismuth-tellurium±tungsten core within a broader gold-
arsenic halo. The deposits are found within and surrounding the reduced intrusions and
typically exhibit a geophysical signature comprising a magnetic low (ie. reduced) coinciding
with at conductivity low. Veining in RIRGS systems is typically zoned with a core of sheeted
veins surrounded by more discrete gold-arsenic veins and more distal silver-lead-zinc
veins.

About Trifecta Gold Ltd.
Trifecta is a Canadian-based precious metals exploration company dedicated to increasing
shareholder value through the discovery and development of 100% held gold projects in
Yukon and Nevada. Trifecta has secured an option to acquire a 100% interest in Mt. Hinton,
Rye and 9 other highly prospective, intrusion-related gold projects located in Yukon's
Tombstone Gold Belt where over 17 million ounces of gold have been discovered since May
2020. Initial drilling at the Company's Yuge Gold Project, located in northern Nevada, has
identified multiple broad zones of gold mineralization near historical high-grade mines. The
Company's Eureka Project hosts an 8 x 2.5 kilometre belt of surface showings and
anomalous gold-in-soil that straddle the headwaters of two of the most productive placer
creeks in Yukon's southern Klondike Goldfields. Trifecta's Treble Project covers a large
hydrothermal system, located midway between Western Copper and Gold Corporation's
Casino Deposit, the largest copper and gold deposit in the Yukon, and Rockhaven
Resources Ltd. 's Klaza Deposit, a high-grade gold-silver deposit.
