Trailbreaker Resources Acquires the Connector GOLD Property, Adjecent to the Past-Producing Brenda MINE
TRAILBREAKER RESOURCES ACQUIRES THE CONNECTOR GOLD PROPERTY, ADJECENT TO THE
PAST-PRODUCING BRENDA MINE
May 4 , 2022 – Trailbreaker Resources Ltd. ( TBK.V) (“Trailbreaker” or “the Company” ) is pleased to
announce the acquisition of the Connector Gold property in the Merritt area of British Columbia (BC). The
newly-staked claims are located just 500 met res north of the past -producing Brenda Cu -Mo (copper -
molybdenum) mine.
Highlights of the new Connector Gold property
• Located 40 km north of Kelowna and 55 km southeast of Merritt, BC, and straddles Highway 97C
(the Okanagan Connector)
• Excellent road accessibility via numerous well maintained forest service roads that extend from
the highway
• 100%-owned by Trailbreaker Resources with no underlying payments or royalties
• Covers 1,894 hectares of ground just 500 m north of the past-producing Brenda Cu-Mo mine
• 15 km northeast of the producing Elk Gold mine, held by Gold Mountain Mining, which has a
Measured and Indicated (M+I) resource of 806,000 oz AuEq (gold equivalent) , at a grade of 5.8
g/t Au (gold)
• Historic exploration shows a similar style of gold mineralization and geologic setting as the Elk
deposit, with grab samples at the Connector Gold property grading up to 187.5 g/t Au and 71.8
g/t Ag (silver)
• Very limited gold-targeted historic drilling has been conducted on the property
About the Connector Gold property
The 1,894 ha, 100%-owned Connector Gold property straddles Highway 97C and is located 40 km west of
Kelowna and 55 km southeast of Merritt in south -central BC. The prop erty is contiguous with Glencore
Corp’s Brenda property which hosts the past-producing Cu-Mo porphyry Brenda Mine. The mine is located
just 500 meters to the south of Trailbreaker’s claims (see Map 1 – Location).
The Connector Gold property was aggressively explored for Cu-Mo deposits in the early 1960s through to
the 1990s , when the Brenda deposit was discovered and developed into a producing mine. At th e
Connector, many Cu-Mo soil geochemical anomalies were identified, and several drill holes intersected

significant Cu-Mo porphyry mineralization. Exploration for precious metals, however, was largely ignored
until 2008 with the rise in precious metal prices.
In 2009, Bitterroot Resources discovered a high-grade gold-bearing vein system located only 300 metres
from the highway, during a trenching program targeting gold -in-soil anomalies. Numerous narrow gold -
bearing shear zones and quartz veins were intersected over a 900-metre span with bedrock grab samples
assaying up 187.5 g/t Au and 71.8 g/t Ag (see Map 2 – Geology and Highlights). Several significant channel
sample intercepts were encountered, including 39 g/t Au and 6.3 g/t Ag over 0.25 meters. In 2 018, an
inaugural 6 -hole drill campaign tested a portion of the gold -bearing quartz vein system exposed by
trenching. While no significant high-grade gold intercepts were encountered, anomalous gold values were
detected in all holes. No exploration has bee n conducted on the property since 2018, rendering several
other gold-in-soil anomalies un-tested by drilling.
The geological setting and style of gold mineralization are very similar to the currently producing Elk Gold
mine located 15 km to the southwest (806,000 oz AuEq, M+I resource). As with the Connector Gold
property, high-grade gold and silver within the Elk deposit is hosted in narrow quartz veins cutting Jurassic
intrusive rocks adjacent to Triassi c Nicola volcanic rocks. Trailbreaker’s team believ es this recent, high-
grade gold discovery at the Connector Gold property has been overlooked and has strong potential to
host high-grade gold mineralization similar to the nearby Elk Gold deposit. At the Elk Gold mine , Gold
Mountain Mining continues to grow their resource, with a 32% increase in its total resource base reported
in late 2021.

property-scale maps will be added in the coming weeks.
Message from the President
“I am pleased to add another exciting asset to our portfolio. As with our recent Eakin Creek acquisition,
the Trailbreaker team has generated a target in a highly prospective geological setting with excellent
access and infrastructure.
The Connector Gold and Eak in Creek projects’ locations also allow for an expanded exploration season. I
anticipate a steady news flow as the Trailbreaker team investigates the historic showings and intensively
explores the property.
As always, stay tuned for further updates!”
