Trillium Gold Intersects New East-West
Structures at Newman Todd
• 4 metres @ 24.2 g/t gold including 1.15 metres @ 73.67 g/t gold from NT21-
202 in a new east-west fault corridor more than 400 metres southwest
along the NT Zone from the Main Zone Fault
• Wide zone of 15.5 metres @ 4.6 g/t gold containing 1.45 metres @ 35.86 g/t Au
from 247 metres downhole in NT21-196
• Testing and confirming gold mineralization on multiple east-west structures
cutting through the NT Zone
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. April 20, 2022 – Trillium Gold Mines Inc. (TSXV:TGM,
OTCQX:TGLDF, FRA:0702) (“Trillium Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to report results from
drill holes NT21-195 to -203 and RV21-36A at the Company’s 100% owned Newman Todd (NT)
Complex. Despite having been drilled in the last quarter of 2021, final results from these holes
have only been received in late March 2022 due to the general backlog in assay laboratory
turnaround.
The group of drillholes was designed to follow up on previous results and to initiate testing of
newly interpreted east -west (E-W) structural corridors cutting through the NT Zone. Significant
intersection highlights from these holes are listed in Table 1 below and can be viewed on sections
located on Trillium Gold’s website at www.trilliumgold.com.
William Paterson, Trillium Gold’s Vice President of Exploration added, “We continue to intersect
significant mineralization as we follow up on the known east-west structures within the NT Zone
and have received additional significant results as we begin to test new interpreted structures
further southeast along the NT Zone. Our structural model and int erpreted controls on the gold
mineralization seem to be holding up well. Further work is necessary, but we are confident that
subsequent drilling will yield similar results as we continue our work. We also feel it is time to
commence testing high-priority structural targets both east and west of the NT Zone in order to
begin expanding the resource footprint in the greater project area.”
Russell Starr, Interim Chairman, President and CEO of Trillium Gold commented, “This program
is the culmination of months of piecing together a complex network of historic data that
encountered high grade intercepts lacking explanation and focused almost entirely inside the NT
Zone. These results have validated our interpretation that several other struct ures displaying
significant widths of mineralization can be found by stepping out of the Main Zone to enhance the
value of the overall project. The Newman Todd-Rivard project has yet to be meaningfully drilled
beyond 400 metres at depth and continues to evolve as a more viable open-pit scenario with
further informed drilling.”

Hole NT21- 195 targeted high-grade Rivard-style quartz vein mineralization along the footwall
contact of the NT Zone where two of the more significant results were found in siliceous NT Zone
breccia segments offset into the footwall along E-W faults.
Holes NT21-196 and -197 followed up on previous significant intersections associated with hole
NT21-194 (9m @ 19.73 g/t Au) and the Camp Zone Fault (see NR dated September 23, 2021).
Hole NT21-196 was drilled above hole NT21-194 and intersected mineralized portions of the NT
Zone with veining containing visible gold (VG) associated with galena and sphalerite, located in
the footwall contact area. Hole NT21-197 stepped back to collar in the Camp F ault area testing
the down-dip continuity of mineralization and the E-W Main Zone Fault structure. Both holes
returned numerous significant assay results ; NT21-196 throughout the hole, with VG seen in
quartz veins between 257.8m and 259.4m , and in the lower portion of NT21-197, in the Main
Zone Fault area. See Figures 1 and 2.
In the south region of the Main Zone portion of the NT Zone, a series of holes (NT21-198 to -203)
were drilled to the north and south across known and newly interpreted E-W breccia fault corridors
crossing the NT Z one, often seen associated with better grade mineralization and Rivard -style
quartz vein clusters along the fault trends . The Rivard- style vein intersected in NT21 -202 at
262.25 - 264.2m contained multiple specks of VG and assayed 4m @ 24.2 g/t Au. All the ho les
returned grades and widths as expected, supporting the interpretation that these E-W structural
corridors are influencing and focusing gold in the NT Zone.
In the southwest portion of the NT Zone, hole RV21-36A was drilled to assist in refining the model
for the south portion of the NT Zone, as well as the SW Zone, and greatly extends the depth and
extents of known mineralization. The hole first intersected the SW Zone showing patchy
mineralization followed by a second breccia zone , towards the southeast, correlating to the NT
Zone proper. In addition, the VG located in a sheared felsic volcanic section (at 695.5m) and in a
quartz lens (at 705.5m) , in the lower portion of the hole, expands the limits of VG occurrences
cored in the project area. The E -W fault corridor associated with this gold mineralized zone is a
new addition into our model for future targeting. Two very significant intercepts were received
from this hole of 0.45m @ 17.5 g/t Au from 695.35m and 12m @ 3.08 g/t Au from 704m (including
1m @ 22.6 g/t Au). This hole was only stopped due to diminishing drill productivity.

All drilling was supervised by Paul Barc, PGeo. The drilling was conducted by Rodren Drilling
Ltd., of West St. Paul, Manitoba. Drill core was logged and sampled in a secure core facility on
site. Core samples from the program were cut in half, using a dia mond cutting saw, and half
cores were sent for analysis to Activation Laboratories Ltd. in Dryden and Thunder Bay, ON,
both accredited mineral analysis laboratories. All samples were analysed for gold using standard
Fire Assay-AA techniques. Samples returning over 10.0 g/t gold were analyzed utilizing standard
Fire Assay-Gravimetric methods. Any samples with results greater than one ounce per ton gold
were also analyzed with a standard 1 kg metallic screen fire assay. Certified gold reference
standards, blanks and duplicates are routinely inserted into the sample stream, as part of Trillium
Gold’s quality control/quality assurance program (QAQC) to monitor accuracy and precision. No
QAQC issues were noted with the results reported herein. All drill intercepts reported are down-
hole core lengths, which do not necessarily represent true widths. References to visible gold
(VG) are factual observations and should not be construed as quantifiable grade.
