TRU Precious Metals Announces 2022 Exploration Program for Golden Rose Project
TRU Precious Metals Announces 2022 Exploration Program for Golden Rose Project
Toronto, Ontario –March 22, 2022 –TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU; OTCQB:TRUIF ; FSE:706)
(“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce details of its 2022 exploration and work program at its flagship
Golden Rose Project (“Golden Rose”), which is now underway.
“Our 2022 exploration season is off to a great start,” said TRU President Stephen Lautens. “The IP survey we
announced last month is underway in identifying new high-priority targets for further exploration across our
district-scale land package at Golden Rose . A large soil sampling program will further identify new areas for
follow-up drilling. Since we acquired Golden Rose last year , TRU has rapidly identified and explored multiple
gold targets to show the discovery potential of this property, developing a robust pipeline of drill targets with a
view to making Golden Rose a turn -key exploration and development project. We look forward to following up
discoveries with new drilling and trenching later this year.”
Golden Rose is a regional-scale land package covering approximately 236 square kilometres (km2) in the Central
Newfoundland Gold Belt, including approximately 45 km of strike length along the deposit -bearing Cape Ray -
Valentine Lake Shear Zone between Marathon Gold Corp.’s Valentine Gold Project to the northeast and Matador
Mining Ltd.’s Cape Ray Gold Project to the southwest.
Simcoe IP Survey Update
On February 9, 2022, TRU announced contracting Simcoe Geoscience Limited (“Simcoe”) for an IP survey at
Golden Rose. The IP survey is deploying Simcoe ’s next -generation wireless, high -definition Alpha IP™
technology. The survey will comprise approximately 56 line km of wireless time -domain induced polarization
using Simcoe’s Alpha IP™ system and is expected to be complete within 60 days . The detailed data compiled
from this survey will guide TRU’s 2022 trenching and drilling program and be instrumental in developing an
additional inventory of highly prospective exploration targets at Golden Rose.

Barry Greene, VP of Property Development and Director of TRU, added: “I am excited to kick off TRU’s 2022
exploration program. The goal of our program will be to identify additional drill targets for 2022 and beyond. In
November 2021, we confirmed a second district -scale gold trend at Golden Rose through an extensive soil
sampling program. One area of strong interest that was identified by our previous program was the Jacob’s Pond
gold zone , which we will be focusing on over the coming months. Simcoe’s detailed IP survey is actively
underway over this gold target. The proposed soil sampling program is planned to be an early season blitz using
a large field crew,” Mr. Greene continued. “It is designed to provide early results to generate targets that can be
trenched and drilled later this field season.”
Soil and Till Sampling Work
TRU will also undertake an extensive soil and till sampling program at Golden Rose. The multi-crew program is
planned to collect more than 10,000 samples at individual sites across the property, designed to identify new gold
mineralization and provide additional targets for TRU ’s 2022 trenching and drilling programs. The work will
focus on completing and infilling gaps in soils coverage over the two primary, deep seated structural corridors
that have been delineated over much of the strike length running through the property.
In particular, sampling will be done over the numerous known gold bedrock showings on which minimal
previous geochemical or ground geophysical coverage is available, and which are located on primary, secondary
or tertiary order structures which emanate from a crustal scale shear zone. Of particular interest in the southwest
are the Glimmer Pond, Mink Pond and Falls Zone gold showings, which display a combination of quartz veining
and/or regional silicification on which minimal historical work has been carried out. Historical prospecting in the
Glimmer Pond area did identify a quartz rich float sample with visible gold with a grab sample which assayed
213.8 grams per tonne (g/t) gold.

Drilling Update
The Company has previously reported that its 2021 drill program encountered gold mineralization in 9 out of the
9 drill holes reported to date at the Woods Lake gold zone (“Woods Lake”) , including continuous near -surface
gold mineralization (see press releases of March 3 and March 9, 2022). The gold zone has now been intersected
in diamond drilling over 800 metres of strike length and is open at depth and along strike.
A total of 11 of the 22 drill holes from the 2021 drilling season have been reported to date. The Company is
awaiting assay results for the remaining holes and will report them as assays are received.
The Company is compiling and modeling the 2021 drill program results for Woods Lake. A higher grade core has
now been modeled and is showing characteristics of a doubly plunging structurally controlled gold zone.
Additional drilling will be required to fully explore and delineate these trends.
