NEWS RELEASE
Troilus Mining Corp. Added to VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDX3)
Inclusion expected to broaden Troilus’ investor base, increase global market visibility and support trading
liquidity
September 14, 2026, Montreal, Quebec — Troilus Mining Corp. (“Troilus” or the “Company”) (TSX: TLG;
OTCQX: CHXMF; FSE: CM5) is pleased to announce that it has been added to the VanEck Junior Gold
Miners ETF (“GDXJ”), effective at market close on September 18, 2026, as part of the fund’s quarterly
rebalancing.
The GDXJ is a widely followed exchange-traded fund providing exposure to a diversified portfolio of small-
and mid-cap companies across the global gold and silver mining sectors. Inclusion is expected to broaden
Troilus’ exposure to institutional, passive and retail investors, while enhancing the Company’s market
visibility and trading liquidity within the global mining investment community.
Justin Reid, CEO of Troilus, commented, “Inclusion in the GDXJ is an important milestone for Troilus and
comes at a pivotal point in the advancement of the Project. Over the past year, we have completed Basic
Engineering, advanced Detailed Engineering, permitting, procurement and project financing, and most
recently released an updated Technical Report that further strengthens the technical and economic
foundation of the Project. As we continue moving toward a construction decision, inclusion in the GDXJ
introduces Troilus to a broader global investor audience and reflects the Company’s increasing scale and
maturity. We believe this is another meaningful step in positioning Troilus among the leading large-scale
gold-copper development companies in North America.”
