NEWS RELEASE
Trident Resources Corp. Announces Strategic Rebrand and Engages Independent
Trading Group as Market Maker
Vancouver, BC, April 23, 2025 – Trident Resources Corp. (TSX-V: ROCK) (OTCQB: EROSD)
(“Trident” or the “ Company”) is pleased to announce its rebranding, a name that reflects the
transformational three-way transaction consolidating Rockridge and MAS Gold’s high-grade gold
and copper assets in Saskatchewan with Eros’ strong balance sheet - marking the beginning of
an exciting new chapter for the Company.
This strategic rebrand underscores Trident’s focus on gold and copper markets through a portfolio
of highly prospective assets with historical mining, historical resources and significant exploration
upside on a regional scale. The new company will focus on the Contact Lake and Greywacke
Gold Project’s located in the La Ronge Gold Belt, as well as the Knife Lake Copper Project also
located in Saskatchewan , Canada . The Company’s newly redesigned website is now live at
www.tridentresourcescorp.com, featuring updated investor materials that reflect Trident’s
expanded focus on its portfolio of advanced-stage exploration assets host to gold and copper
resources.
Jon Wiesblatt, Chief Executive Officer of Trident, commented: “Trident Resources now boasts
historical, high-grade gold and copper resources in a relatively under-explored greenstone belt in
Canada. The opportunity to build a new, emerging gold and copper company is excellent given
the current historical mineral global resources of over 1 million ounces gold and over 200 million
pounds copper. Furthermore, there is the potential to unlock additional value through exploration
in a new major mining camp which is very exciting for the Company and its shareholders. Trident
has consolidated ownership in three notable gold and copper projects, has assem bled a very
capable geological and management team, and is supported by a strong balance sheet to
generate significant value for its shareholders going forward.”
