Trailbreaker Resources Commences Surface Exploration at Castle ROCK Property, Northern Vancouver Island, BC
TRAILBREAKER RESOURCES COMMENCES SURFACE EXPLORATION AT CASTLE ROCK
PROPERTY, NORTHERN VANCOUVER ISLAND, BC
May 27, 202 4 – Trailbreaker Resources Ltd. ( TBK.V) (“Trailbreaker” or “the Company” ) is pleased to
announce the commencement of the 2024 surficial exploration program at our Castle Rock property on
northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia (BC).
The program will consist of follow-up exploration on the results obtained during 2023 (see Figure 1 below,
and November 27th, 2023 news release) as well as reconnaissance exploration on unexplored ground.

program will follow up on results at the newly discovered Watch tower and Kokummi zones , the historic Flan zone, and will
investigate unexplored ground along trend to the northwest.
During 2023, a 3 km gold -in-soil geochemical anomaly was defined along a magnetic lineament. This
anomaly includes the Heart zone (historic chip sample of 2.0 g/t Au [gold] over 30 metres1) as well as the
newly discovered Kokummi and Watchtower zones. Interpretation of airborne magnetic data indicates
that mineralization is associated with northwest -trending structures splaying off from the Kokummi
granodioritic stock in the southwest property area. This interpretation suggests that much of the property
with mineral potential has not yet been explored.
The 2024 exploration program will consist of approximately 400 soil geochemical samples combined with
prospecting of the Watchtower and Kokummi zones , in an effort to expand and define the geochemical
signature.
Reconnaissance exploration will also be conducted on unexplored ground along trend to the northwest,
as well as on the Flan zone. The Flan zone includes a historic showing that has returned assays of up to
135 g/t Au in boulders 2. Exploration in 2023 confirmed high-grade gold mineralization, with assays up to
42.1 g/t Au and 1.93% Cu (copper). As well, basalt -hosted semi-massive pyrite-chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite
mineralization sampled in outcrop returned assays up to 3.1 g/t Au. It is believed that this outcrop-hosted
mineralization is associated with the float samples , and that higher-grade material is likely not exposed
due to vegetation and/or till cover.
Message from the President
“The Castle Rock property represents an exciting opportunity for new mineral discoveries in an area with
little historic exploration. We are eager to follow -up on the 2023 results and to continue advancing the
project. There’s a lot of unexplored ground here with high potential for new discoveries.”

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 (see August 8, 2023 news release ). 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.
