Triumph Gold Intersects 46.28 metres of 0.54 g/t Au and 0.53 g/t Ag
including 4.50 metres of 2.00 g/t Au and 1.57 g/t Ag in the Oxide Zone
at Nucleus, Freegold Mountain Project, Yukon
Vancouver, BC February 17, 2022 – Triumph Gold Corp. (TSX-V: TIG | OTCMKTS: TIGCF |
Frankfurt: 8N61) (“Triumph Gold” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce results from 755.90
metres of diamond drilling in 2 holes from the Nucleus Deposit at the Freegold Mountain
Project (Figure 1). Highlights include 4.50 metres of 2.00 g/t Au and 1.57 g/t Ag within 46.28
metres (“m”) of 0.54 g/t Au and 0.53 g/t Ag in N21-02 within the oxide zone returning 83% gold
recovery through cyanide solubility analysis (AuCN/AuFA).
The Nucleus Deposit is made up of zones of Au-Ag-Cu epithermal and Au- Cu-Ag skarn
mineralization. Four holes were drilled testing the “four corners” of the Au $1500 pit shell from the
2020 Mineral Resource Estimate ( PR-20-02). The purpose of the four holes was to test
mineralization continuity, confirm the depth of the oxide-sulphide boundary and test heap leach
gold recovery through cyanide solubility (AuCN/AuFA) through both fire assay and cyanide
analysis for gold.
The calculated ratio of cyanide gold (AuCN) over fire assay ( AuFA) gold generates an estimate
for gold recovery (AuCN/AuFA).
The results of the first two holes (N21- 01 and N21-02) drilled on the southern corners of the pit
shell are presented in this release.
Highlights:
During the 2021 exploration program, two drill holes were completed on the southern corners of
the Nucleus Deposit totaling 755.90 metres (Figure 2, Tables 1 and 2).
• Drilling expanded mineralization and confirmed bulk tonnage mineralization from the 2020
Resource Model (PR-20-02)
• Drilling encountered multiple styles of mineralization including epithermal veins, sulphide
breccias and disseminations, skarn, and sulphide replacement
• Drilling confirms the presence of a strong oxide profile across the proposed open pit with
cyanide solubility ratios (AuCN/AuFA) up to 87% in N21-02
• 128 samples were analyzed: 50 in the oxide zone, 78 in the sulphide zone
• N21-01 intersected 31.75 metres of 0.54 g/t Au and 1.72 g/t Ag from 52.50 metres in the
sulphide zone
• Including 1.03 g/t Au and 2.20 g/t Ag from 67.00 to 79.30 metres
• N21-02 intersected 46.28 metres of 0.54 g/t Au and 0.53 g/t Ag from 13.72 metres in
the oxide zone
PRESS RELEASE
• Including 2.00 g/t Au and 1.57 g/t Ag from 28.50 to 33.00 metres
• N21-02 intersected 8.00 metres of 0.74 g/t Au and 1.21 g/t Ag from 61.5 metres in the
sulphide zone at the base of the oxide zone
• N21-02 intersected 24.80 metres of 0.54 g/t Au and 1.32 g/t Ag from 211.90 metres in the
sulphide zone
• Including 1.25 g/t Au and 3.15 g/t Ag from 228.80 to 236.70 metres
• 16 intervals of (>1 g/t Au) were intersected (Table 3), highlighted by:
• 4.45 g/t Au, 4.90 g/t Ag, and 0.31% Cu from 93.58 to 94.28 metres in N21-01
• 4.39 g/t Au and 1.10 g/t Ag from 114.08 to 114.63 metres in N21-02
57% of the 6,615 metres of the 2021 diamond drilling program have been reported to date
(PR#21-10, PR#21-11). Further updates will be provided when the results for the remain der of
the 2021 exploration program are received and interpreted from the Nucleus Deposit, the Orbit
Zone, and regional exploration activities (Figure 1).
Intervals assaying above 0.2 g/t gold AuFA were tested by AuCN in N21-01. Intervals from the
top of hole in N21-02 to 82.30 metres were tested by AuCN. Intervals below 82.30 metres depth
and assaying above 0.2 g/t gold were also tested by AuCN.
The 2021 drill program incorporated a drillhole-constrained magnetic 3D inversion model to target
magnetic lows within an east-west trending structural corridor at Nucleus previously tested in 2017
and 2018. The structural corridor is defined by zones of faulting hosting epithermal veining and
quartz-feldspar porphyry dyke emplacement.

PRESS RELEASE
“We are excited about the drill results confirming bulk oxide gold mineralization at the Nucleus
Deposit. We are encouraged by the cyanide solubility results which indicate amenability to heap
leach mining methods. We look forward to defining additional oxide gold zones at Freegold
Mountain,” stated Brian May, President, Triumph Gold Corp.
Triumph Gold confirmed these zones during the 2021 program through the drilling of N21-01 and
N21-02. Significant intercepts within these structural zones are presented below (Table 4, Figure
3). Figure 7 represents typical oxidation intensity in the upper oxide zone of N21 -02. Historical
intercepts within the structural corridor and proximal to N21-01 and N21-02 are presented in Table
7. Drill holes were oriented to the northeast to ensure drilling also intersected foliation within the
YTT at a steep angle to core axis.

Detailed Interpretation and Geology
N21-01 (Figure 3)
• Oxidation to 34 metres
• Average cyanide solubility (AuCN/AuFA) ratio: 57%
• Maximum cyanide solubility (AuCN/AuFA) ratio: 83% (25.50-29.00 metres)
• Epithermal vein-controlled mineralization and local sulphide replacement within both the
oxide and sulphide zones
• Fault Zones:
• 86 to 130 metres - steep north dipping fault zone; fractured, rubbly, gougy.
• 214.5 to 286.42 metres (end of hole) - NW striking fault zone; sheared, locally gougy
• Propylitic (chlorite +/- epidote) to phyllic (quartz + sericite + pyrite) altered YTT
• Leucogranite dykes are up to 10 metres wide
• Vein-controlled mineralization is dominantly steeply-dipping to the NE
• Secondary vein sets dip shallowly to the west
• Foliation dips moderately to the south within the YTT
N21-02 (Figure 4)
• Oxidation to 61.50 metres
• Average cyanide solubility (AuCN/AuFA) ratio: 83%
• Maximum cyanide solubility (AuCN/AuFA) ratio: 96% (33.00-43.00 metres)
• Epithermal vein-controlled mineralization and local sulphide replacement within both the
oxide and sulphide zones
• Fault Zones:
• 0 to 50.80 metres - strongly fractured with local gouge
• 179.60 to 203.50 metres - gouge zones with local fault breccia
• 357 to 373.35 metres - broken zone, strongly bleached with mixed dyke lithologies
• Argillic (kaolinite) + silica-sericite altered YTT
• Leucogranite and quartz -feldspar porphyry dykes are up to 19 metres wide and locally
brecciated
• Vein-controlled mineralization is dominantly steeply-dipping to NE
• Secondary vein sets dip moderately to the southwest (SW)
• Foliation dips moderately to the southwest (SW) within the YTT
Note: Samples were collected every 10 metres to test for alteration minerals with a Terraspec
instrument. Oxidation was mapped according to the visual appearance of oxide minerals.
