Trifecta Gold Ltd. is Drilling Sheeted Quartz Veins at Rye Property, Yukon
• Inaugural drill program underway at Rye Property, Yukon
• Preliminary 2025 rock sampling returned multiple assays greater than 5 g/t gold, including a
highlight assay of 21.1 g/t gold
• First hole intersected a broad area with sheeted vein densities greater than 25 per metre
within hornfels, suggesting close proximity to a gold-bearing fluid source
August 28, 2025 - Trifecta Gold Ltd. (TSX-V: TG) (OTCQB:TRRFF) (“Trifecta” or the “Company”) is
pleased to report that its inaugural drill program at the Rye Property is underway. The Project is situated
14 km from the North Canol Road between two mid-Cretaceous granitic intrusions – the Itsi and Itsi East
plutons – in the eastern portion of Yukon’s Tombstone Gold Belt.
The Company has completed 970 m of diamond drilling in three holes to date, as part of a planned 1500 to
2000 m program (Figure 1). The holes are directed toward zones of densely sheeted quartz -
tourmaline±arsenopyrite veins, located in and around the reduced, mid-Cretaceous Itsi Pluton, where rock
sampling has returned multiple assays in excess of 5 g/t gold and 1000 ppm bismuth, including a highlight
assay of 21.1 g/t gold and 8550 ppm bismuth collected in 2025.

Hole RY-25-01 was collared approximately 400 m from mapped extent of the Itsi Pluton, within hornfelsed
Road River Formation siliciclastics. The hole targeted an area of intense sheeted veining in outcrop where
specimen samples of individual, one to five centimetre wide, quartz-arsenopyrite veins have yielded up to
6.5 g/t gold and 1565 ppm bismuth. Hole RY-25-01 cut a 224 m wide zone (from surface) of hornfels
hosting an abundance of sheeted quartz -pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite±arsenopyrite±scheelite veins , with
measured vein densities greater than 25 per metre (Figure 2).

scheelite-pyrrhotite veins
Hole RY-25-02 was collared 360 m southwest of RY-25-01, adjacent to the mapped extent of the Itsi Pluton.
The hole intersected hornfelsed siliciclastics, as well as intervals of granodiorite, commonly exhibiting a
chlorite-rich greisen type of alteration. Sheeted vein density was significantly lower than the first hole,
comprising only minor quartz -sulphide veins in the hornfels and incipient tourmaline-muscovite veins in
the granodiorite.
Hole RY-25-03 is currently in progress, 175 m south of hole RY-25-02. It is directed toward sheeted veins
in hornfels outcrop, developed within an approximately 170 m wide extensional structural corridor. Within
this corridor, specimen samples of individual veins have yielded up to 21.1 g/t gold and 8550 ppm bismuth.
The hole intersected 209 m of hornfels from surface before pr ogressing into intrusive phases of the
underlying Itsi Pluton, which host sheeted quartz±tourmaline±arsenopyrite veins (Figure 3).

RY-25-03 442893 6978453 115 -45 In progress
Analytical work was done by ALS Minerals, with sample preparation in Whitehorse, Yukon and assays and
geochemical analyses completed in North Vancouver, British Columbia. All rock samples were analyzed
for gold by fire assay with an atomic absorption spect roscopy (AAS) finish on 30 g samples (Au -AA23),
and 48 other elements by four acid digestion and inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ME -
MS61L). Overlimit analysis for samples with gold values greater than 10 g/t were analyzed by fire assay
using a gravimetric finish (Au-GRA21).

About Rye
The Rye Project is located in eastern Yukon, 14 km south of the North Canol Road, an unpaved,
government-maintained highway. Work in 2024 outlined an intense, 500 x 200 m gold -, bismuth-, and
tellurium-in-soil anomaly overlying the contact zone of a mapped Tombstone Gold Belt reduced intrusion
and surrounding hornfels. Sheeted quartz veining is observed both within the intrusion and surrounding
hornfels and vein specimen samples have yielded up to 21.1 g/t gold and 8550 ppm bismuth.
Tombstone Gold Belt
Extending more than 1000 km from the Fairbanks district in Alaska eastward across the entire width of
Yukon, the Tombstone Gold Belt hosts many large Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold System (RIRGS) mines
such as Fort Knox in Alaska (>10 million oz), Eagle an d Olive in Yukon (>4 million oz) and the past -
producing Brewery Creek Mine, also in Yukon. Since May 2020 over 17 million additional ounces of gold
have been discovered in the Yukon portion of the belt, including Snowline Gold’s Tier 1 Valley discovery,
Sitka Gold’s RC deposit, Banyan Gold’s AurMac deposits and Victoria Gold’s Raven deposit.
Tombstone Gold Belt systems are characterized by sheeted, auriferous quartz veins forming in the carapace
zones of Cretaceous-age plutons. They have a characteristic geochemical signature with a gold -bismuth-
tellurium±tungsten core within a broader gold-arsenic halo. The deposits are found within and surrounding
the reduced intrusions, and typically exhibit a geophysical signature comprising a magnetic low (ie.
reduced) coinciding with at conductivity low. Veining in RIRGS systems is typically zoned with a core of
sheeted veins surrounded by more discrete gold-arsenic veins and more distal silver-lead-zinc veins.
About Trifecta Gold Ltd.
Trifecta is a Canadian -based precious metals exploration company dedicated to increasing shareholder
value through the discovery and development of 100% held gold projects in Yukon and Nevada. Trifecta
has secured an option to acquire a 100% interest in Mt . Hinton, Rye and 9 other highly prospective,
intrusion-related gold projects located in Yukon's Tombstone Gold Belt where over 17 million ounces of
gold have been discovered since May 2020. Initial drilling at the Company's Yuge Gold Project, located in
northern Nevada, has identified multiple broad zones of gold mineralization near historical high -grade
mines. The Company's Eureka Project hosts an 8 x 2.5 kilometre belt of surface showings and anomalous
gold-in-soil that straddle the headwaters of two of the most productive placer creeks in Yukon's southern
Klondike Goldfields. Trifecta's Treble Project covers a large hydrothermal system, located midway between
Western Copper and Gold Corporation's Casino Deposit, the largest copper and gold deposit in the Yukon,
and Rockhaven Resources Ltd.'s Klaza Deposit, a high-grade gold-silver deposit.
