Troilus GOLD Corp. Discovers 110 G/T Au Sample 1 Kilometre Northeast of J4 Open Pit. Extends Mineralized Zone 1.8 Kilometres Towards Troilus North Property
TROILUS GOLD CORP. DISCOVERS 110 G/T AU SAMPLE 1 KILOMETRE NORTHEAST OF J4
OPEN PIT. EXTENDS MINERALIZED ZONE 1.8 KILOMETRES TOWARDS TROILUS NORTH
PROPERTY
December 4, 2018, Toronto, Ontario – Troilus Gold Corp. (TSX: TLG) (OTCQB: CHXMF) (“Troilus” or
the “Company”) is pleased to announce results from its Fall reconnaissance exploration program
focused on the Northeast extension of the J Zone (J4 and J5) open pits. A newly defined zone of
mineralization, deemed J4 North, has been identified over a strike length of 1.8 kilometres extending
from the edge of the J Zone to the Northeast. J4 North extends onto the Troilus North property that
Troilus has agreed to acquire from Emgold Mining Corporation and will form the basis for part of
Troilus’s regional 2019 exploration program (see press release dated November 28, 2018).
In October 2018, TLG began a preliminary surface exploration program focused on applying its newly
developed structural and geological model regionally to the Troilus belt. A total of 172 samples, were
collected from 157 outcrops and were sent for assay. Results have defined a clear extension of
mineralization from J Zone along strike.
Uncovering bedrock below mossy overburden, prospecting and mapping have identified gold-bearing
mineralization over nearly two kilometres, leading directly into the Troilus North Property. These
newly discovered units, paired with minimal local historic drilling, have opened the potential to
expand the Troilus deposit to the Northeast (Figure 1).
Highlights:
TLG-TJ4N-18-JB-134
- 110 g/t gold from rock grab sample approximately 1km along strike from J4 open pit hosted
in foliated diorite, the same host rock as the J Zone ( Image 1)
TLG-TJ4N-18-JB-006
- 4.33 g/t go ld, 1% copper, and 49.5 g/t silver from channe l sampling located di rectly
adjacent to the Troilus North and 1.8km NE of J Zone. (Figure 2)
TLG-TJ4N-18-JB-132
- 1.9 g/t gold, 0.3% copper and 16.3 g/t silver hosted in altered rhyolites from a grab sample
located directly southwest of 4.33 g/t channel sa mple (TLG-TJ4N-18-JB-006)
TLG-TJ4N-18-JB-R5-4
- 1.4 g/t gold, 0.6% copper, and 10.3 g/t silver from channel sampling less than 400 metres
from the northeast limit of J4 open pit
“This first pass work Northeast of the J Zone has defined a clear continuation of mineralization across
the Northern strike of the Troilus Property and onto the Troilus North Project that Troilus has agreed
to acquire and expect s to close shortly,” said J ustin Reid, CEO Troilus Gold Corp. “ No exploration of
any significance had been conducted on this property in 30 years. The potential to identify new near -
surface gold occurrences is significant , as evidenced by this short pr ogram following our drill
campaign.”
