Triumph Gold Corp., (TSX-V: TIG) (OTCMKTS: TIGCF) (“
Triumph
Gold” or the “
Company”) is pleased to
release updated mineral resource estimates for the three deposits
(Nucleus, Revenue and Tinta) on the Company’s 100% owned, 200 km2,
road accessible Freegold Mountain Property in the Yukon Territory.
The new mineral resource estimates were
generated by Robert Sim (P.Geo.) of SIM Geological Inc., an
independent qualified person and resource expert with over thirty
five years of experience. A new NI43-101 technical report will be
available on SEDAR within 45 days. The new mineral resource
estimates are effective as of February 11, 2020 and supersede the
previous mineral resource estimate (Campbell et. al, 2015.
Technical report on the Freegold Mountain Project, Yukon Canada
Resource Estimates), which is available on SEDAR.
Triumph Gold President, Tony Barresi (Ph.D.,
P.Geo.), comments: “We are pleased to present three pit-constrained
resources, two of which also have high-grade underground resources.
The new pit constraint, and other stringent economic parameters
applied to the three resource estimates demonstrate that the
mineral deposits exhibit reasonable prospects for eventual economic
extraction as required under NI 43-101. Since 2016 Triumph has been
dedicated to bringing shareholder value by first focusing on
grassroots exploration with resource definition to follow. This
effort resulted in a number of new discoveries, including the
high-grade Blue Sky Porphyry Breccia, and the WAu Breccia, both
located within the Revenue deposit. While our attention will remain
on discovery-focused exploration in the near term, we are pleased
to provide updated mineral resource estimates that we believe
accurately assess the resources identified to date, which are
contained on our 100% owned Freegold Mountain Property.”
Technical Highlights of Freegold
Mountain Property Mineral Deposits:
- Three deposits (Figure 1) host
open-pit constrained mineral resources, two of which also include
deeper, high-grade, additional mineral resources that are
considered amenable to underground extraction methods.
- Combined Indicated Mineral
Resources from Revenue and Nucleus deposits total 42.4 million
tonnes at 0.58 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au), 0.08% copper (Cu)
and 1.2 g/t silver (Ag) for a total of 1 million contained gold
equivalent (AuEq) ounces (oz). Combined Inferred Mineral Resources
at Revenue, Nucleus and Tinta total 39 million tonnes at 0.56 g/t
gold, 0.10% copper and 4.5 g/t silver for a total of 1.1 million
contained gold equivalent ounces (see Tables 1,2, and 3 for
details).
- Higher grade (>1.4 g/t AuEq)
mineralization from the newly discovered Blue Sky Porphyry Breccia
is now included in an underground portion of the Revenue
resource.
- Inclusion of tungsten (W) in the
estimate of mineral resources at the Revenue deposit.
Triumph Gold’s Freegold Mountain Property hosts
three road-accessible mineral deposits (Figure 1). Changes from the
2015 mineral resource estimates, which were unconstrained, are the
result of a combination of new drilling and the application of
updated technical and economic parameters. The new estimates are
either constrained within pit shells or, in the case of underground
mineral resources, show favourable geometry and continuity of grade
and thickness so as to exhibit reasonable prospects for eventual
economic extraction.

Nucleus
The Nucleus deposit is an epithermal style
gold-silver-copper deposit. Indicated mineral resources at Nucleus
include 31 M tonnes at 0.65 g/t Au, 0.7 g/t Ag and 0.07% Cu using a
0.3 g/t AuEq cut-off grade. Inferred mineral resources at Nucleus
include 9.4 M tonnes at 0.56 g/t Au, 0.7 g/t Ag and 0.04% Cu. The
Nucleus deposit is open to the south and at depth.
The Nucleus deposit has been tested with a total
of 359 drill holes with a cumulative length of 60,061m. The mineral
resource estimate was generated using drill hole sample assay
results and the interpretation of a geological model which relates
to the spatial distribution of gold, copper and silver.
Interpolation characteristics are defined based on the geology,
drill hole spacing, and geostatistical analysis of the data. The
effects of potentially anomalous high-grade sample data, composited
to 1.5 metre intervals, are controlled using both traditional
top-cutting as well as limiting the distance of influence during
block grade interpolation. Block grades are estimated into a
three-dimensional block model with nominal block size measuring
10x10x5m (LengthxWidthxHeight), using ordinary kriging and have
been validated using a combination of visual and statistical
methods. Resources in the indicated category are delineated by
drilling spaced at maximum 50 metre intervals. Resources in the
inferred mineral category are within a maximum distance of 150
metres from a drill hole. The estimate of the indicated and
inferred mineral resources is constrained within a limiting
pit-shell derived using projected technical and economic
parameters*. The cut-off grade of the base case estimate of mineral
resource is projected to be 0.30 g/t AuEq, calculated using the
formula AuEq=Au g/t + (Ag g/t x 0.012) + (Cu% x 1.371). The
sensitivity of the Nucleus mineral resource to cut-off grade,
constrained by the $1500/oz gold pit shell, is shown in Tables 5
and 6.

Note: Resources constrained within $1500/ozAu

pit constrained resources. Revenue
Revenue is a
gold-silver-copper-molybdenum-tungsten deposit located
approximately 4 km to the southeast of the Nucleus deposit. The new
mineral resource estimate for Revenue improves upon the previous
(2015) estimate with:
1) New drilling that
has better delineated the higher grade WAu Breccia domain2)
Expansion of the resource to the northeast to include higher grade
mineralization at the newly discovered Blue Sky Porphyry Breccia3)
Inclusion of a >300 metre deep high grade (e.g. 1.4 g/t AuEq)
portion of the Blue Sky Porphyry Breccia in an underground
resource4) Upgrading a portion of the resource into an indicated
category5) Inclusion of tungsten in the resource estimate
Indicated mineral resources at Revenue include
11.4 M tonnes at 0.38 g/t Au, 2.4 g/t Ag, 0.12% Cu, 0.016% Mo and
0.008% W. Combined open-pit constrained and underground inferred
resources at Revenue include 27.5 M tonnes at 0.51 g/t Au, 2.5 g/t
Ag, 0.12% Cu, 0.009% Mo, and 0.005% W. Some of the known zones of
mineralization at Revenue remain open in multiple directions and to
depth; for example, the Blue Sky Porphyry Breccia is open to the
east, west and to depth, and the WAu breccia is open to depth.
Triumph Gold believes there is significant potential in the
immediate vicinity of Revenue for new discoveries.
The Revenue deposit has been tested with a total
of 324 drill holes with a cumulative length of 55,100m. The mineral
resource estimate was generated using drill hole sample assay
results and the interpretation of a geological model which relates
to the spatial distribution of gold, copper, silver, molybdenum and
tungsten. Interpolation characteristics are defined based on the
geology, drill hole spacing, and geostatistical analysis of the
data. The effects of potentially anomalous high-grade sample data,
composited to 1.5 metre intervals, are controlled using both
traditional top-cutting as well as limiting the distance of
influence during block grade interpolation. Block grades are
estimated into the three-dimensional block model with nominal block
size measuring 10x10x5m (LengthxWidthxHeight), using ordinary
kriging and have been validated using a combination of visual and
statistical methods. Resources in the indicated category are
delineated by drilling spaced at maximum 50 metre intervals.
Resources in the inferred mineral category are within a maximum
distance of 150 metres from a drill hole. The estimate of the
indicated and inferred mineral resources is constrained within a
limiting pit shell derived using projected technical and economic
parameters*. The base case cut-off grade of the estimate of open
pit constrained mineral resources is projected to be 0.30 g/t AuEq
calculated using the formula AuEq = Au g/t + (Ag g/t
x 0.012) + (Cu% x 1.371) + (Mo% x 4.114) + (W% x 5.942). Resources
below the pit shell that are considered potentially amenable to
bulk underground extraction methods are estimated at a cut-off
grade of 1g/t AuEq. The sensitivity of the Revenue mineral
resources to cut-off grade is shown in Tables 7, 8 and 9.

Tinta
Tinta is a vein-hosted
gold-silver-copper-lead-zinc deposit located on the southern
portion of Triumph Gold’s Freegold Mountain property that extends
to depths approaching 400m below surface. Combined open-pit
constrained and underground inferred resources at Tinta include 2.2
M tonnes at 1.29 g/t Au, 44.7 g/t Ag, 0.17% Cu, 0.63% Pb and 1.29%
Zn. The Tinta deposit remains open at depth where a number of
gold-rich drill intersections have not yet been followed up on with
additional drilling. Grassroots exploration along strike to the
northwest of the Tinta vein identified a 1.8 km long coincident
soil geochemistry and geophysical anomaly. Seven trenches across
the anomaly exposed quartz veins with precious and base metal
mineralization similar to the Tinta vein.
The Tinta deposit has been tested with a total
of 74 drill holes with a cumulative length of 10,063m plus a total
of 450m of underground drifting in two locations. The mineral
resource estimate was generated using drill hole and drift channel
sample assay results and the interpretation of a geological model
which relates to the spatial distribution of gold, copper, silver,
lead and zinc. Interpolation characteristics are defined based on
the geology, drill hole spacing, and geostatistical analysis of the
data. The effects of potentially anomalous high-grade sample data,
composited to 1 metre intervals, are controlled by limiting the
distance of influence during block grade interpolation. Block
grades are estimated into the three-dimensional block model with
nominal block size measuring 2x5x5m. The block model is rotated so
the short axis (2m blocks) are perpendicular to the strike of the
deposit at an azimuth of 305 degrees and the larger block
dimensions are oriented along strike and in the vertical dimension.
Grade estimates are made using ordinary kriging and have been
validated using a combination of visual and statistical methods.
Resources in the inferred category are within a maximum distance of
50m from drilling or underground channel samples. The base case
cut-off grade of the open pit constrained mineral resource is
projected to be 0.35 g/t AuEq calculated using the formula
AuEq = Au g/t + (Ag g/t x 0.012) + (Cu% x 1.371) +
(Pb% x 0.457) + (Zn% x 0.571). Resources below the pit shell that
are considered potentially amenable to underground extraction
methods are estimated at a cut-off grade of 1.8 g/t AuEq. The
sensitivity of the Tinta mineral resources to cut-off grade is
shown in Tables 10 and 11.

There are no adjustments for mining recoveries
or dilution. The open pit testing indicates that some of the deeper
mineralization may not be economic due to the increased waste
stripping requirements. Underground mineral resources exhibit
continuity of thickness and grade and are considered to exhibit
reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction using
underground extraction methods at the projected cut-off grades. It
is important to recognize that these discussions of surface and
underground mining parameters are used solely to test the
“reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction,” and that
they do not represent an attempt to estimate mineral reserves.
There are no mineral reserves calculated for this Project. These
preliminary evaluations are used to prepare the mineral resource
estimates and to select appropriate reporting assumptions.
Quality Assurance
All Triumph’s sample assay results have been
independently monitored through a quality control / quality
assurance (“QA/QC”) program that includes the insertion of blind
standards, blanks and pulp and reject duplicate samples. Logging
and sampling are completed at Triumph’s secure facility located at
the Freegold project. Predominately NTW and HTW sized drill core is
sawn in half on site and half drill-core samples are securely
transported to prep laboratories in Whitehorse for crushing and
pulverizing and then to geochemical laboratories located in
Vancouver, Canada for analysis. Gold content is determined by fire
assay of a 30 gram charge and the additional elements are
determined by four-acid, or historically aqua regia, digestion with
ICP finish. ALS and SGS Labs have been used and both are
independent from Triumph.
Triumph is not aware of any drilling, sampling, recovery or
other factors that could materially affect the accuracy or
reliability of the data referred to herein.
