TROILUS INTERSECTS 1.51 G/T AUEQ OVER 19M, INCL. 2.28 G/T AUEQ OVER 8 METRES IN J ZONE;

EXPANDS STRIKE LENGTH OF NEW PARALLEL ZONE BY 250% FROM 200M TO 700M

June 8, 20 21, Toronto, Ontario – Troilus Gold Corp. (TSX: TLG; OTC QX: CHXMF) (“Troilus” or the

“Company”) reports additional results from its ongoing exploration and infill drill program on its 100%-

owned Troilus Gold Project (“Troilus” or the “Project”), which hosts one of the largest undeveloped gold

and copper deposits in Quebec, Canada. New results from the J Zone have expanded the footprint of the

new western extension initially identified earlier this month (see press release dated May 12, 2021) from

200 metres to 700 metres in strike length while also confirming down dip mineralization of the main ore

body by up to 100 metres with above average grades and thicknesses.

Highlights from the J Zone drill results include:

 ZJ21-231 expanded the new west trend of mineralization from 200m to 700m in strike with

shallow intervals including:

o 1.43 g/t AuEq over 19.3m, incl. 1.72 g/t AuEq over 3m and 2.29 g/t AuEq over 4.5m

within 100m from surface

 ZJ21-232 confirmed mineral continuity of the new west trend to surface, within 100m of ground

level. Main ore body of the J Zone extended down dip by 100m (See Figure 2):

o 1.51 g/t AuEq over 19m, incl. 2.28 g/t AuEq over 8m

o 1.47 g/t AuEq over 5m

 ZJ21-230:

o 1.48 g/t AuEq over 11m

o 1.45 g/t AuEq over 10m

 ZJ21-235 intersected a higher grade zones at depth located outside of the P reliminary Economic

Assessment (“PEA”) pit shell:

o 1.21 g/t AuEq over 23m, incl. 2.83 g/t AuEq over 1m and 2.51 g/t AuEq over 7m

o 1.63 g/t AuEq over 2m

o 1.72 g/t AuEq over 3m



 ZJ21-236 intersected a higher grade zones at depth located outside of the PEA pit shell:

o 2.68 g/t AuEq over 5m

o 2.05 g/t AuEq over 10m, incl. 2.27 g/t AuEq over 3m, 10.24g/t AuEq over 1m and 2.91g/t

AuEq over 2m



 ZJ21-238 intersected high-grade zones at depth, outside of the PEA pit shell:

o 4.44 g/t AuEq over 5m

o 17.12g/t AuEq over 1m

o 1.75 g/t AuEq over 5m

“The systematic infill drill program we are completing in the J Zone, including ongoing step-outs and step-

downs, is truly impressing us with excellent mineral continuity and an expanding ore body,” commented

Justin Reid, CEO of Troilus Gold. “The new parallel zone we recently identified has significantly grown with

these latest results, now demonstrating mineral continuity over a 700m strike length parallel to the main

ore body. We expect this new zone to have a meaningful impact on the economic modelling of the mine

project given that it is located within the PEA pit shell in areas that were previously considered waste due

to lack of data.”

The J Zone exploration target includes the smaller of the two formerly mined open pits at Troilus. In 2019,

the Company had tremendous drilling success in this zone by applying a new geological model derived

from two years of drill analysis, which highlighted the importance of structural controls on gold and

copper. This exploration program contributed a significant open-pit resource to the Preliminary Economic

Assessment completed in August 2020. Troilus reinitiated drilling in the J Zone earlier this year to continue

improving drill resolution while defining the extent of the mineral boundaries in advance of a mineral

resource update and Pre-Feasibility Study planned for completion in the second half of 2021.

Troilus has completed approximately 55,400 metres of drilling since January 2021 and intends to continue

drilling at a rate of approximately 10,000 metres per month throughout the Summer.

Quality Assurance and Control

During the J Zone drill program in 2021, 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.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Information

Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability; 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. Miner al 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 t he key assumptions,

parameters, methods and risks of determination associated with the foregoing.

This press release contains “forward- looking statements” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities

legislation. Forward -looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the impact of the

ongoing drill program and results on the Company, the possible economics of the project and the Company’s

understanding of the project; the development potential and timetable of the project; the estimation of mineral

resources; realization of mineral resource estimates; the timing and amo unt of estimated future exploration; the

anticipated results of the Company’s ongoing 2021 drill program and their possible impact on the potential size of

the mineral resource estimate; costs of future activities; capital and operating expenditures; success of exploration

activities; the anticipated ability of investors to continue benefiting from the Company’s low discovery costs, technical

expertise and support from local communities . Generally, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use

of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “expects” or “does not expect”, “is expected”, “budget”, “scheduled”,

“estimates”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “continue”, “anticipates” or “does not anticipate”, or “believes”, or variations of

such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “will”, “might”

or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be achieved”. Forward-looking statements are made based upon certain assumptions

and other important facts that, if untrue, could cause the actual results, performances or achievements of Troilus to

be materially different from future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by such statements.

Such statements and information are based on numerous assumptions r egarding present and future business

strategies and the environment in which Troilus will operate in the future. Certain important factors that could cause

actual results, performances or achievements to differ materially from those in the forward- looking statements

include, amongst others, currency fluctuations, the global economic climate, dilution, share price volatility and

competition. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important

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 program 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

(including without limitation on its employees and suppliers) and the economy in general; the impact of the recovery

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; accidents, 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

statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can

be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ

materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on

forward-looking statements. Troilus does not undertake to update any forward- looking statements, except in

accordance with applicable securities laws.
