(
“

” or “the Company”
)
is pleased to
announce
results from
the
2021 exploration
program
at their 100%
-
owned Skelly property in northern
British Columbia (BC).
A chip sample across a historic showing re
-
identified by Trailbreaker in 2020 has returned an assay of 25.4
g/t
gold
(Au)
and 882 g/t
silver
(Ag)
over 1.5m.
Further prospecting 200
met
er
s to the
west of the historic
showings has identified a new gold zone
,
with outcrop grab samples assay
ing
up to 3.43 g/t Au and 78.3
g/t Ag. Soil sample results indicate the zone
extends
at least
another 250m
farther
west
and remains open
(

–
Skelly Property Exploration Highlights
).
Daithi Mac Gearailt, CEO of Trailbreaker, commented:
“
The chip sample
results
confirm the high
-
grade
nature of th
e historic
showing
that
the team
re
-
identifie
d last year
.
It is
also
very encouraging that new
mineralization has been found in the area and the soil samples show there is
potential for
more to be
discovered.

About Skelly
Covering 2,526 hectares, the Skelly property is located just south of the Yukon
-
BC border, approximate
ly
100 km south of Whitehorse, Yukon.
The property is contiguous to Bessor Minerals’ 8,178
-
hectare Golden Eagle property that contains
significant drilled gold prospects comprising high
-
grade, gold
-
bearing quartz
-
sulphide veins. Although
exploration on th
e Skelly property dates back to the 1890s, old shafts provide the only evidence of past
work. Before 2020, no modern exploration has been documented on the majority of the Skelly property.
In the summer of 2020, Trailbreaker conducted a short, 3
-
day first
pass reconnaissance exploration
program that re
-
identified historic shafts. Grab samples obtained from quartz veins within these assayed
up to 1.03 oz/ton gold and 14.24 oz/ton silver
(see
October 5
th
, 2020 news release
for more information).
The auriferous quartz veins were sampled over a 1
8
0
-
meter northwest
-
trending shear zone, open along
strike and paralleling a contact with granitic rocks.
2021 Exploration
A brief,
two
-
day
exploration program was conducted at the Skelly property in 2021 to follow
-
up on 2020
assay results
,
and
to
explore a
portion
of
newly staked ground. The team collected 111 soil samples, 28
prospecting rock grab samples, and one rock chip sample.

The
chip sample
was conducted
across
the previously identified
historic showing
and returned an assay
of
25.4 g/t Au
and 882 g
/t Ag
over 1.5m.
A grab sample
located
3
m
et
er
s
from the chip sample also yielded
high gold and silver grades, assaying 22.4 g/t Au and 1
,
147 g/t Ag.
Mineralization
related to this
historic
showing
has been traced along
strike
for
1
8
0 met
ers to the
northwest
.
It is interpreted to be related to a
shear zone at the contact between late Cretaceous granite to the southwest
,
and
old
er
, late Paleozoic
metamorphic rocks to the northeast.
New
ly identified
mineralization was discovered
200m
west
-
southwest of
th
e historic showings
in a deeply
incised creek canyon
which also cuts through the
high
-
grade shear which hosts the historic showings
.
Multiple ‘stacked’ quartz
-
pyrite
-
arsenopyrite veins were identified
. These veins are typically
shallow
dipping
to flat l
ying
,
and 20
-
30cm
in width
.
A
ssay
s returned grades
as high as 3.43 g/t Au and 78.3 g/t Ag
with anomalous
molybdenum (
Mo
)
,
copper (
Cu
)
,
lead (
Pb
)
,
arsenic (
As
)
,
antimony (
Sb
)
,
bismuth (
Bi
)
, and
tellurium
(
Te
)
.
Soil sample results indicate that the gold
mineralization
discovered in this zone
likely extends westward
along the creek
for a minimum of
250m
and remains open
. A series of four soil samples over 150m assayed
anomalous gold values
ranging from
24.1 ppb Au
to
65.6 ppb Au.
Prospecting
1.5 km northwe
st of the high
-
grade gold zone
has also uncovered a
zone of gossanous
shears
in
metamorphic
rock
close to the granite contact
. One
rock grab
sample of
local
pyriti
c
float
returned an
assay of 0.2
1
g/t Au.
A significant portion of the 2,526
-
hectare
property remains un
-
explored.
Message from the President
“
In
two
short days of exploration the
Trailbreaker
team has managed to
both
expand the mineralized zone
and
yield new targets for future exploration. There is a lot of blue sky at the Skelly propert
y and I am excited
to see what we’ll find next.
