Trifecta Gold Samples 7.25 g/t Gold from Intrusion-Related System at Rye Project, Yukon and
Provides Exploration Update
September 5, 2024
• Sheeted veining discovered within hornfels altered sedimentary rock s flanking a gran itic
intrusion within the Tombstone Gold Belt.
• Outcrop sampling returned up to 7.25 g/t gol d with 240 ppm Bismuth and 5.23 ppm
Tellurium.
• Located near infrastructure 14 km south of the North Canol Highway near Fireweed Metals’
Macpass Project.
September 5, 2024 - Trifecta Gold Ltd. (TSX-V: TG) (OTCQB: TRRFF) (“Trifecta” or the “Company”)
is pleased to announce results from its 2024 exploration program at the Rye Project (the “Project”), which
consisted of geological mapping, soil sampling and property -wide airborne LiDAR survey ing. The
Company successfully identified new areas of mineralization within the Itsi pluton and its surrounding
hornfels altered sedimentary rocks.
The Rye Project is situated between two Mid-Cretaceous granitic intrusions in the eastern portion of
Yukon’s Tombstone Gold Belt. It is well located, only 14 km from the North Canol Highway, 15 km from
Fireweed Metals Corp.’s Macpass Project, and 95 km from Snowline Gold Corp.’s Valley Gold Deposit.
Mapping focused on characterizing vein densities and collecting structural measurements within and
adjacent to the Itsi pluton. Results from vein material collected near this contact are tabulated below.
Sample Description Au (g/t) Bi (ppm) Te (ppm)

D007366 Outcrop sample of arsenopyrite -bearing
quartz vein from a zone of sheeted veining
mm to 2 cm scale (~6/metre)
1.01 242 16.35
D007387 Arsenopyrite vein in outcrop 3.09 372 11.85
D007373 Grab from top of float train at ridge crest 5.85 1080 6.59
D007370 Grab sample, quartz in float with arsenopyrite 2.72 199.5 3.2
Most of the contact between the Itsi intrusion and the hornfelsed metasediments is covered by large talus
fields and glacial colluvium. Intense fracturing and veining have been identified in outcrop within the
hornfelsed metasediments, adjacent to intrusive contact, as pictured below. These highly prospective areas
have not yet been sampled.

Grid soil sampling in the southern portion of the property better defined an area of overlapping anomalous
gold, bismuth and tellurium geochemistry that extends through the mapped hornfels altered sediments to
the boundary with the Itsi intrusion.

Finally, a LiDAR (“Light Detection and Ranging”) survey was completed over the property to help identify
structural features and gain a baseline elevation model, which is necessary for establishing an effective 3-
D model for future drilling.
Analytical work for the Rye Project was performed by ALS Minerals, with sample preparation in
Whitehorse, Yukon and assays and geochemical analyses in North Vancouver, British Columbia. All rock
and soil samples were analyzed for gold by fire assay fusion and inductively coupled plasma -atomic
emission spectrometry (Au-ICP21) and 51 other elements by aqua regia digestion and inductively coupled
plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ME-MS41).
Exploration Update
The Company was awarded Yukon Mineral Exploration Program (“YMEP”) grants for Target Evaluation
at both the Rye Project and its Lance Project. Under the YMEP, the Yukon Government provides successful
applicants funding to support mineral exploration activities for 50% of eligible expenditures to a maximum
of $50,000. Work at the Lance Project is complete, and results are being compiled.
Crews and equipment are now demobilized from the Mt. Hinton Project where Trifecta completed a
property wide Z-Tipper Electromagnetic ( ZTEM) and magnetic survey, road and drill pad construction ,
mapping, prospecting and soil sampling. Due to equipment issues, drilling at Mt. Hinton was limited to one
hole at the 85 vein. Results of this work will be released once assays are received and can be compiled and
evaluated.
Tombstone Gold Belt
5
Extending for more than 1000 km from the Fairbanks district in Alaska eastward across the entire width of
Yukon, the Tombstone Gold Belt hosts many large RIRGS mines such as Fort Knox in Alaska (>10 million
oz), the recently suspended Eagle mine 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.
