Troilus Drills 5.19 G/T AuEq over 21M Inside Broader Zone of 1.75 G/T AuEq over 138M at Connector Zone
TROILUS DRILLS 5.19 G/T AuEq OVER 21M INSIDE BROADER ZONE OF 1.75 G/T AuEq OVER 138M AT
CONNECTOR ZONE
November 8, 2022, Montreal, Quebec – Troilus Gold Corp. (“Troilus” or the “Company”, TSX: TLG; OTCQX:
CHXMF) reports positive results from the Z87 zone at its Troilus Project in northcentral, Quebec, Canada.
The results are part of a recently completed 11,000-metre drill program designed to expand
mineralization to the north and south of Z87 pit, the largest of the two formerly mined open pits, which
continues to show the most continuous and highest-grade resources at Troilus.
The results reported herein confirm a high-grade zone of mineralization connecting the gap between the
formerly mined Z87 and J open pits (“Connector Zone”), and exhibit potential for significant growth of
indicated and inferred resources well above the average grade of the Troilus deposit. (see Figures 1 and
2). Highlights are reported below, with results presented in Table 1.
Z87 Intercept Highlights:
Hole 87-422
▪ 1.75 g/t AuEq over 138m, including 3.58 g/t AuEq over 38m and 5.19 g/t AuEq over 21m
▪ Interval starts 130m from surface; 157m downhole
▪ Mineralized interval starts inside the modelled J Zone PEA Pit, where drilling
to these depths between the two pits was not previously tested.
Hole 87-419
▪ 1.35 g/t AuEq over 98m, including 2.89 g/t AuEq over 33m and 55.46 g/t AuEq over 1m
▪ Drilled on section stepped back ~200m behind previously reported hole 87-
421 (See press release August 17, 2022).
Hole 87-420
▪ 1.10 g/t AuEq over 91m including 1.95 g/t AuEq over 24m and 14.77 g/t AuEq over 1m
▪ Drilled on section stepped back ~100m behind previously reported hole 87-
421 (See press release, August 17, 2022).
Hole 87-423
▪ 1.21 g/t AuEq over 55m, including 2.19 g/t AuEq over 9m and 13.58 g/t AuEq over 1m
▪ Hole stepped out 100m to the north from holes 87-419, 87-420, 87-421.
Justin Reid, CEO of Troilus Gold, commented, “We are thrilled about the phenomenal results announced
today. Our team’s commitment to finding high grade mineralization, that could be immediately impactful
to the economics of this project, has led to the discovery of two extremely high-grade areas, this new
Connector Zone and our recently announced X22 zone (see October 17, 2022 press release). The team
will be continuing to test these extensions and we have high confidence in our ability to expand on today’s
results.”
High-Grade Expansion of Main Z87 Ore Zone at Depth and Bridging to J Zone
The “Connector Zone” drill hole 87-422 intercepted J Zone mineralization at less than 200m vertical depth
on an interpreted structural trend between J Zone and Z87. Drill hole 87-422 also intercepted Z87
mineralization at depth, which was previously modelled as Inferred Mineral Resources, and promotes the
expansion of resources outside the current modelled mineralized wireframes. Drill holes 87-419 and 87-
420 extended high-grade mineralization on the main Z87 ore zone at depth to the north, and down dip
from previously reported drill hole 87-421 (see August 17, 2022 press release), providing added
confidence in the modelled inferred resources. This zone remains open for additional expansion to the
north and at depth.

Quality Assurance and Control
During the Zone 87 drill program, one metre assay samples were taken from NQ core and sawed in half.
One-half was sent for assaying at ALS Laboratory, a certified commercial laboratory, and the other half
was retained for results, cross checks, and future reference. A strict QA/QC program was applied to all
samples, which included insertion of one certified mineralized standard and one blank sample in each
batch of 25 samples. Every sample was processed with standard crushing to 85% passing 75 microns on
500 g splits. Samples were assayed by one-AT (30 g) fire assay with an AA finish and if results were higher
than 3.5 g/t Au, assays were redone with a gravimetric finish. For QA/QC samples, a 50 g fire assay was
done. In addition to gold, ALS laboratory carried out multi-element analysis for ME-ICP61 analysis of 33
elements four acid ICP-AES.

About Troilus Gold Corp.
Troilus Gold Corp. is a Canadian-based junior mining company focused on the systematic advancement
and de-risking of the former gold and copper Troilus Mine towards production. From 1996 to 2010, the
Troilus Mine produced +2 million ounces of gold and nearly 70,000 tonnes of copper. Troilus is located in
the top-rated mining jurisdiction of Quebec, Canada, where is holds a strategic land position of 1,420 km²
in the Frotêt-Evans Greenstone Belt. Since acquiring the project in 2017, ongoing exploration success has
demonstrated the tremendous scale potential of the gold system on the property with significant mineral
resource growth. The Company is advancing engineering studies following the completion of a robust PEA
in 2020, which demonstrated the potential for the Troilus project to become a top-ranked gold and copper
producing asset in Canada. Led by an experienced team with a track-record of successful mine
development, Troilus is positioned to become a cornerstone project in North America.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Information
Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viabil ity; the estimate of
Mineral Resources in the updated Mineral Resource statement may be materially affected by environmental,
permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio -political, marketing, or other relevant issues. There is no certainty that the
Indicated Mineral Resources will be converted to the Probable Mineral Reserve category, and there is no certainty
that the updated Mineral Resource statement will be realized.
The PEA is preliminary in nature, includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically
to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves,
and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have
demonstrated economic viability. The PEA is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. See below and the
Company’s latest technical report available on SEDAR for more information with respect to the key assumptions,
parameters, methods and risks of determination associated with the foregoing.

factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of Troilus to be materially
different from those expressed or implied by such forward -looking statements, including but not limited to: there
being no assurance that the exploration p rogram will result in expanded mineral resources; risks and uncertainties
inherent to mineral resource estimates; the impact the COVID 19 pandemic may have on the Company’s activities

post COVID 19 pandemic and its impact on gold and other metals; the receipt of necessary approvals; general
business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties; future prices of mineral prices; a ccidents, labour
disputes and shortages; environmental and other risks of the mining industry, including without limitation, risks and
uncertainties discussed in the most recent Technical Report and in other continuous disclosure documents of the
Company available under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com. Although Troilus has attempted to identify
important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward -looking
