TRU Releases 3D Model of IP Survey for Jacob’s Pond Target Area at Golden Rose Project
TRU Releases 3D Model of IP Survey
for Jacob’s Pond Target Area at Golden Rose Project
Toronto, Ontario – May 25, 2022 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU; OTCQB:TRUIF ; FSE:706 )
(“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce additional results of its Induced Polarization (“IP”) survey at
the Company’s flagship Golden Rose Project (“Golden Rose”), further to its announcement of April 13, 2022.
Golden Rose is located in the Central Newfoundland gold belt on the deposit-bearing Cape Ray-Valentine Lake
Shear Zone.
TRU retained Simcoe Geoscience Limited (“Simcoe”) to deploy Simcoe’s next -generation wireless, high -
definition Alpha IP technology to conduct a survey comprising 56 line kilometres (km) of wireless time domain
IP on newly-defined plus underexplored historical gold exploration targets at Golden Rose. The results in this
press release pertain to the developing Jacob’s Pond target area in the northeast of Golden Rose.
Highlights of IP Survey of Jacob’s Pond Include:
• Delineation of an open-ended 4-kilometer-long IP anomalous trend associated with copper-gold-silver-
zinc-lead in soils, correlating with chalcopyrite in outcrop and in sheeted quartz veins along the Jacob’s
Pond trend.
• 1.6-km-long IP anomaly correlating with the primary high-grade Jacob’s Pond and Rose Gold copper-
gold-silver veins, significantly increasing the potential footprint of the mineralized zone.
• Drill target selection has commenced and permits for trenching and drilling at Jacob’s Pond are pending.
TRU VP of Property Development and Director Barry Greene commented: “ Having confirmed that the Jacob’s
Pond area hosts high -grade copper -gold-silver values in mineralized quartz vein networks at surface, our
confidence level was further bolstered when a regional soil sampling survey produced a multi -kilometer
anomalous trend in copper -gold-silver-zinc-lead that indicated a potential for much greater distribution to the
mineralized system. Now that this 3D IP chargeability model coincides with the high-grade quartz veins and the
anomalous soils, we are even more confident in the prospectivity of the Jacob’s Pond area , as we have three
different exploration techniques that corroborate the same prospective targets. This IP model is the final layer of
exploration data we needed to plan for a comprehensive and systematic trenching and drilling program in the
summer and fall of 2022.”
The 3D IP model (Figure 1) shows the shape of the surface and subsurface regions which can hold an electric
charge, referred to as an IP anomaly. This method, known as IP geophysics, is regularly used in gold exploration,
where gold mineralization is associated with other metals in the ground which can hold an electric charge. The IP
anomalies are represented as orange to pink-coloured regions, with hotter colours (pink) representing a stronger
IP anomaly.
The existence of gold-bearing rock samples collected from IP anomalies that reach the surface , upgrades the
exploration potential of the IP anomalies and provides some context as to the potential size of the overall target.
Not all IP anomalies are prospective, therefore, collecting soil samples above multiple IP anomalie s can further
narrow down areas of interest. If soil is analyzed and is shown to contain gold, plus other metals (such as copper,
lead, zinc and silver) (see Figure 2), and those soil samples are situated above area s that can hold an electri c
charge, then those areas are assigned higher rankings as prospective targets.
When several prospective targets are identified in this manner, exploration then moves to the trenching and drilling
stage to define the geometry, grade and continuity of mineralized zones. Accordingly, drill target selection for
TRU’s 2022 drill program has commenced.

On May 23, 2022 , the field component of the IP survey concluded following the completion of the east Woods
Lake area covering the underexplored Sure Shot and Hill Top historic gold showings which contained grab
samples of shear hosted quartz veins grading 2.9 grams per tonne (g/t) gold at Sure Shot and 25.8 g/t gold at Hill
Top. The analysis and interpretation phase of the IP survey is ongoing.
2021 Drill Program – Final Results Update
The Company is also reporting that results from the final 6 holes of the 2021 drill program have been received ;
however, there are no additional gold assays of note.
National Instrument 43-101 Disclaimers
Note that soil, rock and float samples are selective by nature, and values reported may not represent the true grade
or style of mineralization at Golden Rose. Readers are cautioned that these potential grades are conceptual in
nature; there has been insufficient exploration by the Company or its qualified person at Golden Rose to define a
mineral resource or mineral reserve; and it is uncertain whether further e xploration will result in these targets
being delineated as a mineral resource or mineral reserve.
The reader is cautioned that descriptions of mineralization, soil anomalies and IP anomalies reported in this news
release are preliminary and/or early-stage results. While these features are considered encouraging, there is no
guarantee that these features will return significant gold and/or copper values when drilled.

Barry Greene, P.Geo. (NL) is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed and
approved the contents and technical disclosures in this press release. Mr. Greene is a director and officer of the
