VANCOUVER, March 21, 2018 /CNW/ - Triumph Gold Corp., (TSX-V: TIG) (OTCMKTS: NFRGF)
("Triumph Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that a field crew has been dispatched to the
Freegold Mountain property to execute a 1,900 metre diamond drill program targeting the newly
discovered porphyry system in the Keirsten Zone (see PR # 17-13). Porphyry related mineralization was
first discovered in the Keirsten Zone with drill hole KZ17-01 which tested the center of a 1.1 km diameter
intense (up to 180 milliradians) buried chargeability high. The drill hole encountered rock that had been
affected by an extremely vigorous porphyry related hydrothermal system from 193 metres to the end of
the hole at 603.50 metres. Phase 1 drilling will test new targets within and along the margin of the
chargeability high that were developed through application of a porphyry model to the interpretation of
existing geological and geophysical data.
Phase 1 drilling is expected to commence on March 27th. The timing of Phase 1 capitalizes on frozen
ground in the Keirsten Zone, which is largely overlain by a swamp. The frozen ground will allow a drill to
be mobilized with minimal environmental impact from road building, or expense from use of a helicopter. It
also facilitates early establishment of a camp and crew which will support spring- and summer-long
exploration activities, including an additional approximately 16,100 metres of diamond drilling, trenching
and geophysical and soil geochemistry surveys.
Tony Barresi, VP Exploration of Triumph Gold Corp., comments: "Phase 1 drilling of the Keirsten Zone
demonstrates Triumph Gold's commitment to test and advance the exploration concept that Revenue and
Nucleus are not discrete deposits, but instead they are parts of a five- to six-kilometre-long magmatic-
hydrothermal mineralizing system with porphyry and epithermal components. The Keirsten Zone is
centred almost exactly between the Revenue and Nucleus deposits and represents a high priority
exploration target as a potential core or focus of the broad mineralizing system."
