NEWS RELEASE

Trident Resources Announces the Strategic Addition of Paul Kremer, M.Sc., as

Exploration Manager

Vancouver, BC – December 15, 2025 – Trident Resources Corp. (TSX-V: ROCK) (OTCQB:

TRDTF) (“Trident” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Paul Kremer

as Exploration Manager working alongside the existing geological team led by VP Exploration,

Cornell McDowell. The Board of Directors and Management enthusiastically welcome Mr. Kremer

to the team as Trident accelerates its exploration programs across Saskatchewan’s highly

prospective gold belts.

Mr. Kremer joins Trident following his role as Exploration Manager for SSR Mining in Saskatoon,

where he played a key leadership role in advancing exploration and resource growth around the

Seabee Gold Operation, which includes the high-grade Santoy Mine Complex. Located northeast

of Trident’s Contact Lake Gold Project, the Seabee Gold Operation hosts the only currently

producing gold mine in Saskatchewan and has yielded more than 2M ounces of gold since mining

commenced.

Mr. Kremer’s deep familiarity with the La Ronge Gold Belt, which hosts Trident’s high -grade

Contact Lake Project, provides the Company with a significant strategic advantage. While SSR’s

Seabee/Santoy system extends to vertical depths greater than 1 kilometer, Contact Lake was

historically mined to only ~340 meters, highlighting the substantial and untested depth potential

that Trident is now well positioned to explore.

Jon Weisblatt, CEO and Director of Trident Resources, commented: “We are very pleased

to welcome Paul to the Trident Resources team. His experience leading exploration at SSR

Mining—particularly at the Seabee and Santoy operation—gives him an exceptional

understanding of the geology, structures, and controls that drive high-grade gold deposition in the

region. This is a major stamp of approval on our projects and our early drill results as we believe

Contact Lake is analogous to Seabee. Paul brings exactly the depth of technical expertise we

need as we advance our projects from discovery to resource delineation and definition. He will

contribute to all exploration activities, including follow-up on the strong results thus far from our

2025 drill program, and will assist in the design and execution of our upcoming extensive 2026

campaign.”

With more than a decade spent working in Saskatchewan’s Precambrian terranes, Mr. Kremer

has developed industry-recognized expertise in orogenic gold systems. His work has included

advanced structural interpretation, 3D geological modelling, drill -program design, and the

integration of complex geoscientific datasets to support resource growth and long -term mine

planning. His field experience and technical insight have contributed to a stronger understanding

of the tectonic and structural frameworks that control gold distribution in the region.

Mr. Kremer is a geologist with over 20 years of experience in mineral exploration across the

Canadian Shield. He holds a B.Sc. (Hon.) in Geology from the University of Manitoba and an

M.Sc. from the University of Waterloo, where his research focused on str uctural controls

governing the emplacement of rare-metal pegmatites.

Mr. Kremer’s combination of deep regional knowledge, structural geology expertise, and proven

exploration leadership will play a key role in advancing the Company’s high-grade gold portfolio.
