Trailbreaker Resources Commences Drilling at the Swan Zone, Atsutla GOLD Project, British Columbia
TRAILBREAKER RESOURCES COMMENCES DRILLING AT THE SWAN ZONE, ATSUTLA GOLD
PROJECT, BRITISH COLUMBIA
July 27, 2026 – Trailbreaker Resources Ltd. (TBK.V) ("Trailbreaker" or "the Company") is pleased to
announce the completion of its maiden drill program at the Highlands Zone, and the drill’s mobilization
to the Swan Zone at the Company's 100% -owned, 300 km² Atsutla Gold Project in northwestern British
Columbia (BC), Canada.
While drilling at the Highlands Zone targeted high -grade, vein-hosted gold (Au), silver (Ag), and copper
(Cu) showings, drilling at the Swan Zone will be directed at a Cu-Au-Ag porphyry target. The two zones are
26 km apart and hosted in entirely different geological units. The Highlands Zone is hosted in the Jurassic
Christmas Creek batholith, and the Swan Zone is hosted in the Cretaceous Glundebery batholith.

Daithi Mac Gearailt, CEO of Trailbreaker, commented, "The Swan Zone continues to be one of the most
compelling targets in Trailbreaker’s portfolio. Over the past five years we have devel oped this prospect
from a new discovery and have added layers of data through systematic exploration. Detailed geological
mapping, combined with soil geochemical, induced polarization (IP) and airborne magnetic surveying have
led us to this current stage. The now-completed Highlands Zone drill program was executed on schedule
and within budget, and I anticipate drilling the Swan Zone to proceed in a similar fashion.”
The completed diamond drill program at the Highlands Zone consisted of four holes totalling 883.40
metres. The drilling tested a strike length of 500 m and a vertical extent of 412 m. For details on the
Highlands Zone drill target, see June 29, 2026 news release.
Swan Zone Drill Target
The Swan Zone is a Cu-Au-Ag porphyry target located in the Cretaceous Glundebery batholith. Trailbreaker
has completed geochemical and geophysical surveys of significant extent to define the drill targets, which
occur within a 1.5 km x 1.5 km multi-element (Au-Cu-Ag-arsenic [As]-molybdenum [Mo]-antimony [Sb]-
bismuth [Bi]) soil geochemical anomaly. Rock grab samples from the zone grade up to 11.7 g/t Au, 212 g/t
Ag, and 0.81% Cu . The geochemical anomaly is coincident with a 2.1 km x 1.4 km donut -shaped
chargeability high feature (defined by a 2024 induced polarization survey) , as well as a zone of elevated
potassium marked by a magnetic low signature indicated from 2024 airborne magnetic and radiom etric
surveys. Although limited historic drilling has been conducted in the valley adjacent to the Swan Zone, the
Swan Zone itself has never been drilled.
The diamond drill program will target surface geochemical anomalies and geophysical anomalies. The
program will test an estimated strike length of 1,000 m to a vertical depth exceeding 400 m. The Company
anticipates this preliminary drill program will improve our understanding of mineralization controls and
the overall deposit model at the Swan Zone, to support the design of future, more targeted drill
campaigns.
Other Future Drilling in 2026
In September 2026, Trailbreaker plans to drill several Cu-Au porphyry targets at the Coho property ,
located 30 km northwest of the Mt. Milligan mine in central BC. For further details of these programs, see
the May 25, 2026 news release.
More about the Atsutla Gold Project
The Atsutla Gold Project is centered over the regional-scale Teslin-Thibert fault system which marks the
contact between the Quesnel and Cache Creek terranes. Gold mineralization is associated with Mesozoic
batholitic intrusions that are the predominant geological unit on the property. Since discovery in 2020,
Trailbreaker has outlined five significant zones of gold mineralization on the property, across a span of 26
kilometers. These are:
• Highlands Zone – A 2.0 km by 1.5 km area in the western Atsutla Gold Project region, with veins
containing coarse visible gold assaying up to 630 g/t Au and 1,894 g/t Ag.
• Christmas Creek Zone – Gold-bearing quartz veins 1.5 km east of the Highlands Zone, with rock
samples assaying up to 102 g/t Au and 524 g/t Ag.
• Snook Zone – High-grade veins 3.5 km northeast of the Highlands Zone , with rock samples
assaying up to 53.3 g/t.
• Willie Jack Zone – 1.25 km long gold-in-soil anomaly with soil samples assaying up to 3.77 g/t Au
and rock samples up to 9.9 g/t Au.
• Swan Zone – A Cu -Au-Ag porphyry target defined by a 1.5 km x 1.5 km multi-element soil
geochemical anomaly (Au-Cu-Ag-As-Mo-Sb-Bi), with rock grab samples grading up to 11.7 g/t Au,
212 g/t Ag, and 0.81% Cu. The geochemical anomaly is coincident with a 2.1 km x 1.4 km donut-
shaped chargeability high (defined by a 2024 induced polarization survey) as well as a zone of
elevated potassium marked by a magnetic low signature indicated from a 2024 airborne magnetic
and radiometric survey.
