NEWS RELEASE
Trident Resources Announces the Commencement of an Airborne Magnetic and
Radiometric Geophysical Survey over the Reindeer Gold Property
Vancouver, BC, August 25th, 2026 – Trident Resources Corp. (TSXV: ROCK) (OTCQB:
TRDTF) (Frankfurt: 6BP0) (“Trident” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the
commencement of an airborne magnetic and radiometric geophysical survey over the
underexplored Reindeer Gold Project in the La Ronge Gold Belt (LRGB) of Northern
Saskatchewan. The fixed-wing low level tight drape high resolution radiometric and aeromagnetic
survey began on August 17th and will continue for the next few weeks.

The Reindeer survey represents an important component of Trident’s broader district -scale
exploration strategy in the La Ronge Gold Belt. Across its strategic 98,700-hectare land position
within the LRGB, the Company is using geophysical surveys, surface sampling, prospecting and
focused drilling to identify and systematically advance high-priority gold targets.
Trident’s properties cover prospective geological structures associated with past-producing gold
mines, established deposits and numerous documented mineral occurrences, providing multiple
opportunities for new discoveries and the expansion of known mineralized systems.
About the Reindeer Property
The Reindeer Property comprises 29,300 hectares near the intersection of highways 102 and
905, the two main arteries that connect the important industry of northeastern Saskatchewan to
the populated centres to the south. The Property straddles the highly p rospective boundary
between the La Ronge and Kisseynew lithostructural domains, a compelling exploration target
that defines the focus of Trident’s exploration strategy within the LRGB. There are multiple
documented precious and base metal occurrences within the boundaries of the early -stage
exploration Property.

The 6,600-line km airborne survey will be completed by Special Projects Inc., a company that
specializes in low altitude surveys that produce high-quality data for use in the mineral exploration
industry. Trident intends to utilize high-resolution aeromagnetic data to identify geologic structures
that have the potential to host orogenic gold deposits. These structures exert a first order control
on all known gold deposits and occurrences throughout the LRGB. The radiometric data will assist
in delineating different lithologies and when combined with the aeromagnetic data will help define
targets for subsequent ground-truthing and future drilling.

Exploration Update at Flagship Contact Lake and Preview Projects
While the airborne survey advances early -stage exploration at Reindeer, drilling and field
exploration are also underway at Trident’s Contact Lake and Preview target areas at the flagship
and more advanced Contact Lake Gold Project. Contact Lake hosts a past-producing, high-grade
gold mine and, together with the nearby Preview deposits, forms a key part of Trident’s district -
scale strategy in the La Ronge Gold Belt.
The 20,000-metre summer drill program at Contact Lake is almost halfway done and continues
to return encouraging visual indications of mineralization with final geochemical assays pending.
Concurrently, Trident is conducting a comprehensive soil sampling and prospecting program
across Contact Lake and the adjacent Preview project area, located approximately 2.5 kilometres
to the southeast along a parallel shear structure. The program is ex pected to comprise
approximately 9,000 soil samples and is designed to identify and refine targets for future drilling.
Equity Grant Clarification
Further to the Company’s news release dated July 24th, 2026 whereby the Company granted an
aggregate 1,525,000 stock options and 1,107,500 DSUs to certain directors, officers and
consultants of the Company, the Company wishes to clarify that such grants are subject to
approval of the Company’s shareholders at the next annual general meeting, in accordance with

Plan. If the Plan is not approved by the shareholders at the next annual general meeting, the
stock options and DSUs shall be immediately cancelled. The Company will recommend in favor
of the approval of the Plan.
