About the Trident Property
Located approximately 50 km to the southeast of Northwest Copper’s Kwanika Deposit and 50 km to the northwest
of Centerra Gold’s Mt. Milligan Mine, the Trident property covers 6,618 hectares and is accessible by vehicle using
well established logging roads.
Copper mineralization on the property was first discovered in 1969, whil e following up on anomalous stream
sediment samples. The following year Falconbridge Ltd. optioned the property and over the next two years
completed IP and magnetic surveys, geological mapping, soil sampling and diamond drilling. This work identified
the A Zone with intersections in drilling up to 0.84% copper over 45.7 metres (DDH-1971-13) and 0.70% copper
over 51.8 metres (DDH-1971-20).
Additional exploration programs were completed by Kookaburra Gold Corp. from 1988 through 1991, Solomon
Resources Ltd. From 2006 through 2008 and PEMC/Oz Minerals Ltd. From 2014 to 2015. All of these programs
completed diamond drilling, geophysical surveys and geochemical sampling.
Diamond drilling by Solomon Resources Ltd. at the A Zone in 2007 confirmed the presence of intriguing gold
grades and demonstrated that mineralization extended at depth.
Selected Highlights from Historical Drilling at Trident
Work by Pacific Empire from 2013-2015 was successful in identifying the source of copper -gold mineralization
encountered in drilling as being directly related to porphyry intrusions encountered at the A Zone.
Mineralization on the property is most significant in three areas, 1) the A Zone, 2) the Slide Zone and 3) Campbell
Trench. Further information and details including updated maps can be found on the Company’s website
at www.pemcorp.ca and in the Corporate Presentation.
