Triumph Gold Corp. (TSX-V: TIG | OTCMKTS: TIGCF |
Frankfurt: 8N61) (“Triumph Gold” or “the Company”) is pleased to
announce results from 755.90 metres of diamond drilling in 2 holes
from the
Nucleus Deposit at the
Freegold
Mountain Project (Figure 1). Highlights include 4.50
metres of 2.00 g/t Au and 1.57 g/t Ag within 46.28 metres (“m”) of
0.54 g/t Au and 0.53 g/t Ag in
N21-02 within the
oxide zone returning 83% gold recovery through cyanide solubility
analysis (AuCN/AuFA).
The Nucleus Deposit is made up
of zones of Au-Ag-Cu epithermal and Au-Cu-Ag skarn mineralization.
Four holes were drilled testing the “four corners” of the Au $1500
pit shell from the 2020 Mineral Resource Estimate (PR-20-02). The
purpose of the four holes was to test mineralization continuity,
confirm the depth of the oxide-sulphide boundary and test heap
leach gold recovery through cyanide solubility (AuCN/AuFA) through
both fire assay and cyanide analysis for gold.
The calculated ratio of cyanide gold (AuCN) over
fire assay (AuFA) gold generates an estimate for gold recovery
(AuCN/AuFA).
The results of the first two holes (N21-01 and
N21-02) drilled on the southern corners of the pit shell are
presented in this release.
Highlights:
During the 2021 exploration program, two drill
holes were completed on the southern corners of the Nucleus
Deposit totaling 755.90 metres (Figure 2, Tables 1 and
2).
- Drilling expanded mineralization
and confirmed bulk tonnage mineralization from the 2020 Resource
Model (PR-20-02)
- Drilling encountered multiple
styles of mineralization including epithermal veins, sulphide
breccias and disseminations, skarn, and sulphide replacement
- Drilling confirms the presence of a strong oxide profile across
the proposed open pit with cyanide solubility ratios (AuCN/AuFA) up
to 87% in N21-02
- 128 samples were analyzed: 50 in
the oxide zone, 78 in the sulphide zone
- N21-01 intersected 31.75 metres of 0.54 g/t Au
and 1.72 g/t Ag from 52.50 metres in the sulphide zone
- Including 1.03 g/t Au and 2.20 g/t Ag from 67.00 to 79.30
metres
- N21-02 intersected 46.28 metres of 0.54 g/t Au and 0.53
g/t Ag from 13.72 metres in the oxide zone
- Including 2.00 g/t Au and 1.57 g/t Ag from 28.50 to 33.00
metres
- N21-02 intersected 8.00 metres of 0.74 g/t Au
and 1.21 g/t Ag from 61.5 metres in the sulphide zone at the base
of the oxide zone
- N21-02 intersected 24.80 metres of 0.54 g/t Au
and 1.32 g/t Ag from 211.90 metres in the sulphide zone
- Including 1.25 g/t Au and 3.15 g/t Ag from 228.80 to 236.70
metres
- 16 intervals of (>1 g/t Au) were intersected (Table 3),
highlighted by:
- 4.45 g/t Au, 4.90 g/t Ag, and 0.31% Cu from 93.58 to 94.28
metres in N21-01
- 4.39 g/t Au and 1.10 g/t Ag from 114.08 to 114.63 metres in
N21-02
57% of the 6,615 metres of the 2021 diamond
drilling program have been reported to date (PR#21-10, PR#21-11).
Further updates will be provided when the results for the remainder
of the 2021 exploration program are received and interpreted from
the Nucleus Deposit, the Orbit Zone, and regional exploration
activities (Figure 1).
Intervals assaying above 0.2 g/t gold AuFA were
tested by AuCN in N21-01. Intervals from the top of hole in N21-02
to 82.30 metres were tested by AuCN. Intervals below 82.30 metres
depth and assaying above 0.2 g/t gold were also tested by AuCN.
The 2021 drill program incorporated a
drillhole-constrained magnetic 3D inversion model to target
magnetic lows within an east-west trending structural corridor at
Nucleus previously tested in 2017 and 2018. The structural corridor
is defined by zones of faulting hosting epithermal veining and
quartz-feldspar porphyry dyke emplacement.

“We are excited about the drill results
confirming bulk oxide gold mineralization at the Nucleus
Deposit. We are encouraged by the cyanide solubility
results which indicate amenability to heap leach mining methods. We
look forward to defining additional oxide gold zones at Freegold
Mountain,” stated Brian May, President, Triumph Gold Corp.
Triumph Gold confirmed these zones during the
2021 program through the drilling of N21-01 and N21-02. Significant
intercepts within these structural zones are presented below (Table
4, Figure 3). Figure 7 represents typical oxidation intensity in
the upper oxide zone of N21-02. Historical intercepts within the
structural corridor and proximal to N21-01 and N21-02 are presented
in Table 7. Drill holes were oriented to the northeast to ensure
drilling also intersected foliation within the YTT at a steep angle
to core axis.

References and Disclosures
1 Gold equivalent [AuEq] is used for
illustrative purposes, to express the combined value of gold,
silver, and copper as a percentage of gold. No allowances have been
made for recovery losses that would occur in a mining scenario.
AuEq is calculated using US$1,750.00 per troy ounce of gold,
US$24.00 per troy ounce of silver, and US$4.00 per pound of
copper.
AuEq = Au g/t + (Ag g/t X $24.00 / $1750.00) +
(Cu% X $4.00 X 22.0462) / ($1750.00 / 31.10)
Reported assay intervals are calculated using
Micromine’s grade compositing tool using >0.25 g/t AuEq cutoff,
constrained by no more than 6 metres of consecutive internal
dilution. High-grade intervals are reported using >0.5 g/t AuEq
cutoff with no more than 6 metres of consecutive internal dilution.
Composites were separated by logged oxidation into oxide and
sulphide zones.
Reported assays are uncut weighted averages and
represent drilled core lengths. The true width of reported
mineralization is unknown.
Sample Preparation and QAQC
Diamond drill holes at the Freegold Mountain
Project are drilled using HTW and NTW core sizes (70.92 millimetres
and 56.00 millimetres diameter respectively). Drill core samples
average 1.50 metres in length with a minimum length of 0.50 metres
and a maximum length of 2.10 metres except at the top of N21-01
where core loss resulted in sample length of 3.65 metres and 2.44
metres and at the top of N21-02 where core loss resulted in a
sample length of 2.57 metres. Drill core is cut along the long axis
of the core over the entire length of the drill hole. Sample
intervals are defined by mineralization, lithology, structure, and
alteration boundaries.
Sample preparation is completed at ALS
Whitehorse with sample pulps shipped to ALS Vancouver for analyses.
Samples are dried and crushed to 70% less than 2 millimetres with a
250-gram riffle-split and pulverized to better than 85% passing 75
microns (PREP-31).
A 50-gram sample from the pulp is analyzed for
gold using fire assay techniques and atomic absorption spectroscopy
with detection limits of 0.005-10 parts per million (“ppm”)
(Au-AA24). Gold overlimit values are re-analyzed using a
gravimetric finish with an upper detection limit of 10,000 ppm
(Au-GRA22). A 0.25 gram sample from the pulp is analyzed with
multi-element geochemistry (ME-ICP61) using a 4-acid near total
digestion and induced coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy
(ICP-AES) providing 33 elements (Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd,
Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ga, K, La, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, S, Sb, Sc,
Sr, Th, Ti, Tl, U, V, W, Zn).
Samples assaying above 0.2 g/t gold were tested
for cyanide-soluble gold with the 30-gram Au-AA13 method. This form
of analysis is a preliminary indication of the favorability of the
sample for gold recovery by cyanide leach. Since the test is
performed on a small aliquot of a pulverized sample, it is not a
reliable indication of metallurgical recovery. Cyanide ratios
“AuCN/AuFA” were capped at 100%.
