Trailbreaker Expands Watchtower Zone GOLD Anomaly to 350m X 200m Along a 3km GOLD Trend at Castle ROCK Property
TRAILBREAKER EXPANDS WATCHTOWER ZONE GOLD ANOMALY TO 350m X 200m ALONG A
3km GOLD TREND AT CASTLE ROCK PROPERTY
August 12, 2024 – Trailbreaker Resources Ltd. (TBK.V) (“Trailbreaker” or “the Company” ) is pleased to
announce that recent surface sampling at the Watchtower zone has outlined a continuous gold (Au)-in-
soil anomaly covering a 350 m by 200 m area . The zone trends northwest-southeast along a more
extensive 3 km long gold -in-soil trend . Rock sampling from this zone returned assay values up to
2.19 g/t Au, 0.54% copper (Cu), and 6.2 g/t silver (Ag) from an outcrop with a ‘wormy’ quartz vein
stockwork. The ‘wormy’ vein texture indicates a ductile deformational environment, with emplacement
of quartz veining under high-temperature conditions, potentially in proximity to an intrusive body.
Surface sampling was conducted at the Castle Rock property, northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia
(BC) as follow-up exploration based on 2023 results. A total of 339 soil and 72 rock samples were collected
across the property. Trailbreaker has now applied for an advanced exploration permit at Castle Rock.
The Watchtower zone was discovered in 2023 through systematic soil sampling . Follow-up sampling in
2024 shows the potential scale of this zone. The Watch tower soil anomaly is oblique to the Heart zone
and may interconnect at the southern extents of these anomalies. Mineralization at the Heart zone is
hosted by Jurassic granodiorite dykes emplaced along a regional -scale structure. The Watchtower zone
may represent a buried intrusive center similar to the Heart zone.
Infill soil sampling at the Kokummi zone, southeast of the Heart zone, indicates continuity of the Au-in-soil
trend over an 850 m strike extent with a 250 m width. The Kokummi zone occurs along a north-northwest
striking fault near its contact with the Kokummi stock. ‘Wormy’ quartz veining with potassic alteration
selvages occur in this zone , together with anomalous Cu values from rock sampling, indicating that a
potential buried intrusion may be the source of the Au-in-soil anomaly.
First-pass prospecting was conducted at the Moakwa zone, on the eastern side of Castle Rock property,
where elevated Au values from moss-mat sampling were returned in 2023. Numerous rock samples were
taken over an 800 m strike extent , returning anomalous Cu assays up to 0.282%. Anomalous copper-in-
rock values at the Moakwa zone indicate potential for further mineralization at the Castle Rock property.
Message from the President
“The work at the Castle Rock property continues to show potential for multiple zones of mineralization
across the property. In particular, the robust soil anomaly outlined at the Watchtower zone indicates that
two potential zones, the Heart and Watchtower zones, may occur subparallel and in close proximity to one
another.” – Daithi Mac Gearailt

About the Castle Rock property
The Castle Rock property covers 3,108 hectares of land on northern Vancouver Island, approximately
70 km northwest of Campbell River, BC. It was acquired by Trailbreaker in 2022 and consolidated through
an option agreement. Trailbreaker conducted initial exploration assessment work in 2022 and followed
up with a second surface exploration program in 2023.
The claims cover five BC Minfile occurrences located along a district-scale structure that is >5 km -long,
with newly identified gold ± copper -enriched intrusions. These Minfile occurrences represent relatively
new discoveries, mostly due to access created by recent logging activity.
Northern Vancouver Island is host to several large Cu -Au porphyry deposits, including Northisle Copper
and Gold’s Hushamu deposit (Inferred resource of 5.57 Moz AuEq) 3, and BHP Billiton’s past producing
Island Copper porphyry copper deposit (produced >2.7 B lb Cu and >1.0 Moz Au) 3.
At the Castle Rock property, gold is dominantly hosted by Jurassic granodiorite dykes which have been
emplaced along a regional-scale fault zone separating Lower to Middle Triassic Daonella Bed sedimentary
rocks from Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation basalts.
