Trailbreaker Resources Reports ROCK Samples up to 42.1 G/T Au and 1.93% Cu and Expands Geochemical Trend to 3-KM at Castle ROCK Property
TRAILBREAKER RESOURCES REPORTS ROCK SAMPLES UP TO 42.1 G/T AU AND 1.93% CU AND
EXPANDS GEOCHEMICAL TREND TO 3-KM AT CASTLE ROCK PROPERTY
November 27, 2023 – Trailbreaker Resources Ltd. (TBK.V) (“Trailbreaker” or “the Company”) is pleased
to report geochemical results from the 2023 surficial exploration program at their Castle Rock property
on northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia (BC).
Highlights from the surficial exploration program include:
• Definition of a 3 km gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly along a magnetic lineament, including the
newly defined Kokummi and Watchtower zones;
• Rock samples assaying up to 42.1 g/t gold (Au) and 1.93% Copper ( Cu) at the Flan zone ,
confirming historic results;
• Extension of the Heart zone in outcrop, with rock sample results up to 2.21 g/t Au (175 m north
of the Heart showing) and 2.18 g/t Au (80 m east of it);
• Moss-mat sampling indicates gold mineralization may occur in drainages where no previous
exploration has occurred;
• Interpretation of magnetic lineaments suggests that mineralization is associated with northwest
trending structures splaying off the Kokummi granodioritic stock in the southwest property area.
This indicates much of the unexplored property areas may have elevated mineral potential.
Message from the President
“Our grassroots exploration efforts at Castle Rock have continued to build upon a showing with limited
previous exploration, and are quickly developing this into a compelling project with multiple targets. Castle
Rock is a great testament to our tried -and-true exploration methodology which has proven to add value
to our portfolio of early -stage exploration projects. We are excited to continue to advance Castle Rock,
along with the rest of our portfolio.” – Daithi Mac Gearailt

Figure 1: Soil geochemical anomalies and highlighted rock and moss-mat samples from the 2023 surface sampling program,
overlain on interpretation of the regional airborne magnetic survey. Sampling defines a 3 km gold-in-soil trend which includes
the Heart zone and newly defined Watchtower and Kokummi zones. Rock sampling has confirmed historic values at the Flan
zone and defined an open gold-in-soil anomaly. Additionally, anomalous moss-mat samples in the southeast and eastern
portions of the property have defined new areas of potential mineralization, leading to additional claim staking.
Heart, Watchtower, and Kokummi zones (3 km long soil trend)
Rock and soil geochemical sampling and prospecting successfully defined a three-kilometre gold-in-soil
trend with multiple >30 ppb gold anomalies, centered on the previously known Heart showing. The Heart
showing was discovered in 2012 and consists of a brecciated granodiorite dyke containing 5 to 10% pyrite-
chalcopyrite. Historic chip sampling returned assays of 2.0 g/t Au over 30 metres1.
During the 2023 surface campaign, rock samples collected from an outcrop 175 m north-northwest of the
Heart showing returned assay results up to 2.2 g/t Au. These samples were collected from a strongly
oxidized granite, very similar to the main Heart zone showing. Additionally, gossanous basalt containing
pyrite was sampled in outcrop 80 m east-northeast of the Heart showing, and returned assay results up
to 2.2 g/t Au.
Soil sampling near the Heart showing expanded the continuous gold-in-soil anomaly, defining the Heart
zone to approximately 1,150 m in strike length and up to 300 m in width.
A new multi-sample gold-in-soil anomaly, the Watchtower zone, was identified approximately 325 m to
the southwest of the Heart showing. No previous sampling had been conducted in the area prior to 2023.
The anomaly remains open to the south and west. This may represent an additional mineralization centre
near the Heart zone.
A second newly identified gold-in-soil anomaly, the Kokummi zone, was defined to the south -southeast
of the Heart zone. This anomaly is on strike of the Heart zone and is defined by gold-in-soil values >30 ppb
along multiple soil sampling lines, defining a >600 m strike length.
Flan zone
Historic sampling at the Flan zone returned assays up to 135 g/t Au in boulders 2. Sampling during 2023
was designed to confirm the presence of mineralization and to define a bedrock source. Gossanous float
material sampled at the Flan zone confirmed high -grade gold mineralization, with assays up to 42.1 g/t
Au and 1.93% Cu. As well, basalt-hosted semi-massive pyrite-chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite 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 similar mineralization may occur under vegetative and/or till cover . The Flan
zone lies at the intersection of two magnetic lineaments. This structural intersection may be an important
control of gold mineralization.
The Flan zone occurs on the western extent of the soil geochemical grid. However, another gold-in-soil
anomaly was defined from the 2023 sampling approximately 500 m north of the outcrop mineralization
at the Flan zone. The anomaly is defined by >30 ppb gold-in-soil, and remains open to the west and north.
Reconnaissance sampling
To assess potential mineralization outside of the primary area covered by soil sampling, moss -mat
sampling, targeting additional drainages on the property, was employed. Moss-mat sampling is used as a
reconnaissance style sampling method, similar to stream sediment sampling, providing indications of
metal content within a drainage and providing a vector for the location of mineralization.
Two areas returned multiple moss -mat samples with greater than 10 ppb gold. The first area is in the
southeastern portion of the property, near the postulated contact of the Kokummi stock and the
Karmutsen basalts. The second area is within a valley that drains from the eastern flank of Mt. Adam. This
valley, which has not undergone any exploration work, is marked by magnetic lineaments, similar to those
at the Heart -Kokummi soil trend. Additional claims were staked in this area to cover all drainages
potentially causing these elevated moss-mat samples.
Future Work Recommendations
Future work at the Castle Rock property will be focussed toward continuing to define the extent of mineral
potential on the property, as well as advancing individual targets toward initial drill testing. This work will
include permitting to conduct advanced exploration activities, additional surface geochemical work, and
geophysical surveying.
About the Castle Rock property
The Castle Rock property covers 3,108 hectares of land, approximately 70 km northwest of Campbell
River, BC on northern Vancouver Island (Figure 1). It was acquired by Trailbreaker in 2022 and was recently
consolidated through an option agreement with Cazador Resources Ltd. (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 (results are contained in this news release).
The claims cover five BC Minfile occurrences on a district -scale structure that is >5 km -long, with newly
identified gold ± copper -enriched intrusions. These Minfile occurrences are 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’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 in 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.
