Troubadour Outlines Prospective Geophysical Targets and Samples 288 g/t Ag at Amarillo
Troubadour Outlines Prospective Geophysical
Targets and Samples 288 g/t Ag at Amarillo
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 1, 2022) -
TROUBADOUR RESOURCES INC.
(TSXV: TR) (OTC Pink: TROUF) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that the VTEM airborne
geophysical survey completed over the Amarillo property in 2021 (the "Property") has identified two
compelling targets, with one of the targets guiding ground-based follow-up crews to a new surface
discovery yielding 288 g/t Ag from a grab sample*.
Key Highlights
Newly identified circular magnetic low
Donut
anomaly that was briefly ground-truthed by
Troubadour field crews, produces
288 g/t silver
from a grab* sample.
New kilometre-scale
Big Fir
target, derived from coincident chargeable high and magnetic low
anomalies with an overlapping high Calculated Time Constant, detected in an area recently
logged.
Regional-scale NE/SW-trending structure coincides with known mineralization.
*
Grab samples are by definition selective. Grab samples are solely designed to show the presence or
absence of mineralization, and are not intended to provide nor should be construed as a
representative indication of grade or mineralization at the Project.
"The VTEM survey has produced very distinct and compelling targets.
The Big Fir target may represent
a buried mineralized intrusive body, and the Donut anomaly has already revealed silicified and
mineralized brecciated volcanic rock discovered during a very short field visit.
We are eagerly looking
forward to the coming field season and will be deploying a crew for thorough follow-up work once
conditions permit," states Geoff Schellenberg, Company President.
The Donut anomaly is a discrete circular magnetic low surrounded to the north by magnetic highs
measuring approximately 450 m in diameter (Figure 1).
The anomaly lays on the northern fringe of the
kilometre-scale Big Fir chargeability high anomaly (Figure 2).
A brief field visit by Troubadour's technical
team to the Donut anomaly during 2021 resulted in three rock grab samples being collected that returned
results ranging from 0.28 g/t to 288 g/t silver. The 288 g/t silver grab sample was of silicified, brecciated
andesite with accompanying anomalous Cu and Zn values.

The Big Fir anomaly is a broad, roughly 2 km x 1 km, NE/SW-trending chargeable high overlapping a
matching pronounced magnetic low in the southern portion of the Property.
Time Constant Delay (Tau)
measurements contained within the Big Fir anomaly are the highest on the Property, indicating that the
chargeable high exhibits a slower rate of decay compared to other parts of the Property and is a key
characteristic of metallic mineralization.

The geophysical responses from all of the surveys highlight a linear structure transecting the Property
from SW to NE that coincides with alteration and sulphide mineralization observed both on surface and
in drill core from prior Troubadour work programs.
Of greatest interest, the calculated Tau
measurements show a strong relationship between the linear structure and the Big Fir anomaly,
potentially representing fluid movement along the structure.
Survey Details
Geotech Ltd. performed a helicopter-borne geophysical survey over the Property in 2021.
Deployed
sensors included a versatile time domain electromagnetic system (VTEM) and a cesium magnetometer.
These were augmented by a GPS navigation system and a radar altimeter.
In total, 625 line-km of geophysical data was acquired covering 55 sq. km.
Traverse lines were flown due
east-west and spaced 100 m apart, with tie lines flown north-south every 1000 m.
Quality Assurance and Control
Rock grab samples were placed into labelled clear poly bags in the field, and a piece of flagging was
labelled and tied around a representative rock that was then placed back at the sample location.
All of the rock samples collected during the 2021 field program were hand delivered to MSALABS in
Langley, BC for multi-element ICP-AES/MS, ultra-trace level analysis. MSALABS is an ISO 9001 and
ISO/IEC17025 certified commercial laboratory. MSALABS is a Canadian company with over 25 years
of experience analyzing geological material and is independent of Troubadour.
The submitted rock samples were first crushed to 70% passing 2 mm, and then a representative split
was taken and pulverized to 85% passing 75 µm. The pulverized rock samples were analyzed using MS
Analytical package IMS-117 (39 elements) ultra-trace level analysis with dilute aqua regia. Over limit
results for silver were reanalyzed via analytical procedure ICP-ES Ore Grade analysis using a 4-Acid or
near total digestion.

data disclosed, including sampling, analytical and test data contained in the written disclosure, and has
