Highlights of the new Eagle Lake property
• Situated directly adjacent to Consolidated Woodjam Copper Corp.’s Woodjam Cu -Au (copper -
gold) porphyry project which hosts an inferred resource of 1.7B lbs copper and 968,100 oz gold
with an aggressive 2022 exploration program planned.
• Results of limited historic exploration at the Eagle Lake property include a drill intercept of 3.52
g/t Au over 9.9 metres which remains to be followed up.
• Covers 18,990 hectares of prospective ground with potential for porphyry copper -gold and
mesothermal gold discoveries.
• 100%-owned by Trailbreaker Resources, with a portion of the claim package subject to a 1% Net
Smelter Royalty (NSR) held by Teck.
• Located 55 km east of Williams Lake, BC in the Caribou Mining district.
• Excellent road accessibility via an extensive network of well-maintained forest service roads.
• Situated within the Quesnel terrane which is host to several of BC’s large tonnage Cu-Au porphyry
deposits.
Daithi Mac Gearailt, CEO of Trailbreaker, commented , “This is a landmark acquisition for Trailbrea ker
Resources and we are very thankful to Teck who clearly understood our vision to consolidate this land
package and increase our chances of making a new discovery in this underexplored area of BC.”
About the Eagle Lake property
The 18,990-ha Eagle Lake property is an early-stage porphyry copper-gold and mesothermal gold prospect
located in the Cariboo Mining district, approximately 55 km east of Williams Lake in south-central BC.
(see Overview Map). The property is road accessible by an extensive network of well -maintained forest
service roads. The Eagle Lake property is 100%-owned by Trailbreaker, with a portion of it subject to an
underlying 1% NSR to Teck.
The newly consolidated Trailbreaker claims are situated within the Quesnel terrane which is host to
several of BC’s large tonnage copper -gold porphyry deposits . These include New Gold’s Afton mine,
Imperial Metals’ Mount Poll ey mine, Taseko’s Gibraltor mine, and Centerra Gold’s Mount Milligan and
Kemess mines. The Quesnel terrane also hosts numerous advanced -stage gold projects , such as the
Spanish Mountain Gold project (measured and indicated resource of >4.5 M oz Au) located 45 km north
of Eagle Lake, and Karus Gold’s FG gold project, located 35 km to the east.
The property is underlain by Late Triassic to Early Jurassic intrusive rocks of the Takomkane Batholith, with
minor late Triassic volcanic rocks of the Nicola Group (see Regional Geology Map). The Eagle Lake property
is contiguous to the advanced-stage Woodjam Cu-Au project and shares a similar geological setting. The
Woodjam project covers a Cu-Au porphyry deposit with an inferred resource of 1.7 billon lbs copper and
968,100 oz gold.
Trailbreaker’s team believes the gold potential of the property has been overlooked in the past, as copper
porphyry-style mineralization was the focus of all previous exploration conducted on the property. For
example, in 2010, a small diamond drill program targeting Cu -Au porphyry mineralization (the “Moffat
zone”) at the south end of the Eagle Lake property encountered significant gold-only mineralization. At
the Moffat zone, drilling returned an intercept of 3.52 g/t Au over 9.9 m , (commencing at 253 m) within
quartz stockworks and breccias (see Moffat Zone Map). No follow-up work was ever done. A regional-
scale till sampling program executed in 2019 demonstrated that anomalous gold -in-till values were
returned from the southern portion of the Eagle Lake property hosting this drill hole.
2022 exploration at Eagle Lake
Trailbreaker is planning to focus exploration efforts at the Moffat zone with a detailed mobile metal ion
(MMI) soil geochemical survey. MMI geochemistry is a proven surficial exploration technique that has a
track record of discovering deep ly buried miner al deposits worldwide. Unlike conventional soil
geochemical surveys, MMI analysis measures metal ions that travel upward from the bedrock and
accumulate in the surface soil, allowing this method to detect deeply buried mineralization and to provide
more fo cused anomalies. The planned MMI survey will be tightly spaced , and is designed to provide
focused drill targets for potential future drill campaigns.
Terms of the agreement with Teck
The sale of the claims held by Teck is subject to the following terms:
• Trailbreaker shall issue 125,000 common shares within 7 business days of receipt of TSX Venture
Exchange approval. Concurrent with the share issuance, Teck will transfer the title of the Property
to Trailbreaker
• Teck shall retain a 1% NSR on the Property.

Message from the President
“I am very excited about the addition of the Eagle Lake property to our growing portfolio of projects. We
are all looking forward to a busy exploration season that has now been substantially enhanced with the
addition of our new southern BC projects. The Eagle Lake property could be a real game changer for
Trailbreaker.
There is a lot of ground here to explore, with great access and infrastructure, and with a neighbour like the
Woodjam copper-gold project, it’s easy to envision the potential of this area.
As always, stay tuned for further updates!”
