Triumph Gold Corp. (TSX-V: TIG | OTCMKTS: TIGCF |
Frankfurt: 8N61) (“Triumph Gold” or “the Company”) announces the
results of 2021 exploration work at the Freegold Mountain Property
in the Yukon, highlighting results from N21-05, N21-06, and N21-07
from the Big Creek South Fault Zone and the Nucleus Deposit
(
Figure 1).
6,615 m of diamond drilling was completed at the
Freegold Mountain Property. Drilling was conducted around the Blue
Sky and WAu zones at the Revenue Deposit and at the Nucleus
Deposit. Additional step-out drilling tested the Big Creek South
Fault and Orbit zones.
Every hole reported to date from the 2021
exploration program intersected anomalous gold, silver, and copper
(5 at Nucleus and 7 at Revenue). Results demonstrate a broad
mineralized system with zones of bulk tonnage mineralization,
containing oxide, transition, and sulphide mineralization.
Significant drill intercepts reported to date are summarized in
Table 1 and significant intercepts reported in this release are
highlighted in grey. N21-05 and N21-07 returned oxide gold
mineralization with excellent cyanide (“CN”) assay recoveries
(Table 3).

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.
Nucleus/Big Creek South
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)
Revenue
AuEq is calculated using US$1,750.00 per troy
ounce of gold, US$24.00 per troy ounce of silver, US$4.00 per pound
of copper and US$15.00 per pound of molybdenum:
AuEq = Au g/t + (Ag g/t X $24.00 / $1750.00) +
(Cu% X $4.00 X 22.0462) / ($1750.00 / 31.10) + (Mo% X $15.00 X
22.0462) / ($1750.00 / 31.10)
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). 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.
Sample Quality Assurance/Quality Control
(“QAQC”) measures include unmarked certified reference materials
(CRMs), rock blanks, and field duplicates are inserted into the
sample sequence and make up 5% of the samples submitted to the lab
for holes reported in this release. Additional QAQC checks are
ongoing in accordance with 43-101 standards.

About Triumph Gold Corp.
Triumph Gold Corp. is a Canadian based,
growth-oriented exploration and development company with a district
scale land package in mining friendly Yukon. The Company’s 100%
owned, road accessible, flagship Freegold Mountain Project in the
Dawson Range Au-Cu Belt is host to three NI 43-101 Mineral Deposits
(Nucleus, Revenue, and Tinta Hill). The Project is 200 square
kilometres and covers an extensive section of the Big Creek Fault
Zone, a structure directly related to epithermal gold and silver
mineralization as well as gold-rich porphyry copper
mineralization.
Led by an experienced management and technical
team, Triumph Gold is focused on actively advancing the Freegold
Mountain Project using multidiscipline exploration and evaluation
techniques.
The Company owns 100% of the Big Creek and
Tad/Toro gold-silver-copper properties situated along strike of the
Freegold Mountain Project within the Dawson Range.
The Company also owns 100% of the Andalusite
Peak copper-gold property, situated 36 km southeast of Dease Lake
within the Stikine Range in British Columbia.
Triumph Gold acknowledges the traditional
territories of the Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation and Selkirk
First Nation on which the Company's Yukon mineral exploration
projects are located. Triumph Gold has a long standing, ongoing,
engagement with these First Nations through communication,
environmental stewardship, and local employment.
