Troubadour Reports Bonanza-Grade Gold Results from Phase 1 Rock Sampling at the Texas Project
Troubadour Reports Bonanza-Grade Gold
Results from Phase 1 Rock Sampling at the
Texas Project
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 25, 2021) -
TROUBADOUR RESOURCES
INC.
(TSXV: TR) (OTC Pink: TROUF) (the "Company") is pleased to announce rock sampling results
from the Phase 1 exploration program completed on its 2,186 hectare Texas property located in the
Greenwood Mining Division of southern B.C.
Program Highlights:
Two grab samples* from the Doorn returned greater than 100 g/t gold and 100 g/t silver;
overlimit assay results are pending.
Four chip and grab samples* that returned between 10.20 g/t and 44.10 g/t gold in
addition to the two Doorn overlimit gold samples have been resubmitted for metallic
screening analysis due to elevated gold.
A 0.25 m chip sample across a vein outside the Cabin adit returned 18.95 g/t gold.
Rediscovery of the Gold Bug workings 2 km southwest of the Doorn was confirmed by a
1.0 m chip sample that returned 8.19 g/t gold.
One grab sample* from the Laurion showing 1.8 km to the south of the Doorn returned
greater than 100 g/t silver; overlimit analysis result is pending.
Rock sample results confirm the significance of the newly discovered north-south
control structure that extends for more than 1 km between the Doorn and Cabin
showings.
*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 results from our Phase 1 program have greatly enhanced our understanding of the gold
mineralization at the Texas project.
Limited previous exploration work assumed an east-west control of
the gold mineralization that resulted in the primary targets being missed.
Our new interpretation greatly
increases the prospectivity and indicates that the Doorn and Cabin targets may be related," states Geoff
Schellenberg, Company President.
Troubadour geologists now have a much better understanding of the mineralization controls and the
potential source of the bonanza-grade, overlimit (>100 g/t gold) grab samples around the Doorn target,
which will be the primary target of the inaugural drill program planned for this spring.
The exceptional
gold grades seen at the Doorn and Cabin support the concept of a newly identified north-south
mineralization control structure connecting the Doorn and Cabin showings that extends for over 1 km.
High-grade mineralization was also encountered at the Cabin, evidenced by a 0.25 m chip sample
across a vein on the exterior wall of the Cabin adit that returned 18.95 g/t gold.
This vein exposure is 75
m south from a soil sample taken during the 2020 field program that returned 2.1 g/t gold, clearly
indicating mineralization is open along strike to the north. The area to the north of the Cabin will be a
priority for future exploration programs.
Additionally, the Phase 1 field program resulted in the rediscovery of the Gold Bug showing located 2 km
southwest of the Doorn target.
A one-meter chip sample across an exposed quartz vein returned 8.19 g/t
gold over a one-meter width.
The strong gold results over a respectable width at the Gold Bug opens up
a new priority target to be followed up on during the next field program.
A total of 39 rock samples were taken during the program and included grab and representative
composite chip samples. Troubadour geologists elected to resubmit rock samples grading greater than
10 g/t gold for metallic screen analysis, resulting in a total of six samples undergoing this analytical
procedure.
The metallic screen results for these samples will be reported when received and will include
results for the two Doorn grab samples that returned greater than 100 g/t gold in initial analysis.
The most notable grab sample assay results from the 2020 Phase 1 exploration program are listed in

Rock samples were collected by Coast Mountain Geological Ltd. of Vancouver, B.C. and submitted
directly to MSA Labs, an ISO 170251 and ISO 9001 accredited analytical laboratory, in Langley, B.C.
All rock samples were prepared using MSA Labs PREP-915 which includes drying, crushing with 70%
passing 2 mm. A 500 g sub-sample of the coarse crush is further pulverized with 85% passing 75 μ.
Gold results were conducted by an ore grade fire assay with an AAS finish (FAS-211). The 35-element
analysis was done with a true aqua regia digestion and ICP-AES (ICP-130).
