Today`s News; Troilus Gold Corp Discovers New At-Surface Gold Zone 'West Rim' With Intercept of 1.37 g/t AuEq Over 11m Within 200m of Reserve Pit and Confirms Continuity of Zone X22 Mineralization to Depth of 550m
MAY 30, 2024, Montreal, Quebec – Troilus Gold Corp. (“Troilus” or the “Company”, TSX: TLG; OTCQX: CHXMF; FSE: CM5R) is pleased to announce the discovery of a new gold zone named the ‘West Rim Zone’ (“West Rim”) located within 200 metres west of the North Reserve Pit Shell (Zones 87, J & X22) (see Figure 1) in addition to assay results from Zone X22 (“X22”) at its Troilus Project, located in northcentral Quebec, Canada. The results herein are part of an ongoing 25,000m drilling campaign designed to expand and define select drill targets along the main mineral corridor and regionally.
Hole X22-24-080 Intercept Highlights:
Newly discovered “West Rim” intersected 1.37 g/t AuEq (1.32 g/t Au, 1.5 g/t Ag, 0.02% Cu) over 11 m within a broader intersection of 0.74 g/t AuEq (0.69 g/t Au, 1.78 g/t Ag, 0.02% Cu) over 32 m starting at just 21 m downhole (See Figure 2).
Zone X22 intersected 10.27 g/t AuEq (10.15 g/t Au, 0.50 g/t Ag, 0.07% Cu) over 1 m and 0.83 g/t AuEq (0.58 g/t Au, 1.45 g/t Ag, 0.15% Cu) over 30m incl. 13.85 g/t AuEq (12.55g/t Au, 9.10 g/t Ag, 0.76% Cu) over 1 m at 550 m depth (see Figure 2).
Justin Reid, CEO of Troilus Gold, commented, “After 5 years of systematic exploration, we are still making significant discoveries on the Troilus property. The West Rim target is a testament to the prospectivity and opportunity within proximity to the Troilus project’s mineral reserve pits defined in the recent Feasibility Study (see press release, May 14, 2024)*. Located just 200 meters from the North Reserve Pit and at surface, the West Rim is a highly prospective corridor spanning 4km in length, 1km of which has never been drilled and is open for follow up drilling and delineation of mineralization. Moreover, results from Zone X22 have extended mineralization past 500 meters depth, supporting the future potential of underground development. The geology team has continued to successfully discover and develop existing targets across the property, and we look forward to follow-up drilling in the coming months to build out the West Rim target and further extensions below the North Reserve Pit.”
* the completed NI 43-101 technical report associated with the Troilus Project FS will be available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca under the Company’s issuer profile, as well as the Company’s website at www.troilusgold.com on or before June 28, 2024.
West Rim Zone
The West Rim Zone was discovered as part of an ongoing 25,000m drill program at the Troilus Property designed to test near-mine and regional priority drilling targets. The West Rim target is an exhalative stratigraphic horizon hosted within felsic to intermediate metavolcanic rocks along the north-west margin of the Troilus intrusion. This prospective sequence can be traced for more than 4 km from the hanging wall of the J Zone, continuing through the West Rim toward the Southwest hanging wall. The eastern boundary of the Troilus intrusion has been extensively explored, and reserves defined within the Z87 and SW Pits align along this eastern boundary. The western boundary of the diorite (West Rim) has been left un-explored and remains open to further drilling (see Figure 2 below).
Hole X22-24-080, reported today, was designed to test this horizon and to test X22 mineralization at depth. The West Rim horizon returned 0.74 g/t AuEq over 32 m including 1.37 g/t AuEq over 11 m starting at 21 metres downhole. This intercept is found within 200 metres to the southwest of the North Reserve Pit shell that includes Z87, ZJ and X22.
West Rim Zone Geology
Hole X22-24-080 shows a clear metallic zonation in the West Rim with a lower zinc-silver zone and an upper gold zone. Sulphide mineralization consists of disseminated, stringers veins, and small lenses of massive pyrrhotite, pyrite with accessory sphalerite and chalcopyrite transposed into the dominant foliation. The type of mineralization, alteration and the polymetallic signature suggests a gold-bearing VMS (Volcanogenic Massive Sulfides) system, which increases the prospectivity of the area to find larger and richer ore zones along strike and at depth. West Rim is a phase 1 target, which encompasses a combination of favourable volcanic/intrusive phases, geophysical anomalies, and attractive structural settings all located in proximity to the mine site, in areas with little drill coverage. Subsequent drilling phases include following up on high-grade trends at depth below the North Reserve Pit and drilling regional targets. An additional 1,700 metres of drilling has been allocated to follow up on the newly discovered West Rim trend.
Deep Drilling below North Pit – Extending X22 Mineralization at Depth
Results from X22-24-080 equally confirmed continuity of the mineralized system to depth below Zone X22, with broad mineralized intercepts of 0.83 g/t AuEq over 30 m and 0.38 g/t AuEq over 26 m, and continuous high-grade trends with intersections of 10.27 g/t AuEq over 1 m and 13.85 g/t AuEq over 1 m. The results also show the tonalitic phase of the Troilus intrusion, which hosts X22, appears to be thickening at depth. Data from deeper extension holes like X22-24-080 will be used to inform and update the ongoing drill program with a focus on expanding high-grade trends.
Zone X22 was identified in late 2022 at the southwestern border of Z87 open pit. 23,256 metres were drilled at X22, which successfully expanded the zone's mineral footprint from 300 metres to approximately 1 kilometre and confirmed a consistent pattern of continuous high-grade near-surface structures along this strike length. Although X22 only accounts for a small portion of the 322,000 metres drilled at Troilus since 2018, it has contributed 1.19Moz AuEq (59.2Mt at 0.62 g/t AuEq) or 11% of total open pit Indicated mineral resources (see press release, October 16, 2023).

Quality Assurance and Control
During the drill program, one meter assay samples were taken from NQ core and sawed in half. One-half was sent for assaying at ALS Laboratory, a certified commercial laboratory, and the other half was retained for results, cross checks, and future reference. A strict QA/QC program was applied to all samples; which included insertion of one certified mineralized standard and one blank sample in each batch of 25 samples. Every sample was processed with standard crushing to 85% passing 75 microns on 500 g splits. Samples were assayed by one-AT (30 g) fire assay with an AA finish and if results were higher than 3.5 g/t Au, assays were redone with a gravimetric finish. For QA/QC samples, a 50 g fire assay was done. In addition to gold, ALS laboratory carried out multi-element analysis for ME-ICP61 analysis of 33 elements four acid ICP-AES.

TROILUS DRILLS 1.46 G/T AUEQ OVER 30M, INCL. 2.62 G/T AUEQ OVER 11M, AND 1.36 G/T AUEQ
OVER 18M IN ZONE X22
March 30, 2023, Montreal, Quebec – Troilus Gold Corp. (“Troilus” or the “Company”, TSX: TLG; OTCQX:
CHXMF; FSE: CM5R) is pleased to report assay results from Zone X22 (“X22”) at its Troilus Project, located
in northcentral Quebec, Canada. The results herein are part of an ongoing 7,800 metre drill campaign
designed to define and expand mineralization of Zone X22, initially identified in late 2022 (see October
17, 2022, press release). Since its discovery, the strike length of this zone has expanded to 1 kilometre,
originating at the western border of the formerly mined Z87 pit and extending southwest into the Gap
Zone (see Figure 1). The X22 delineation program is nearing completion, however over 4,000 metres of
assays are pending and will be reported as they become available.
The latest results have confirmed mineral continuity between previously drilled and reported holes in this
zone, which continue to return higher than average grades over large thicknesses. All results reported
herein lie entirely outside of the PEA pit shells and will be included in the upcoming Feasibility Study.
Zone X22 Drill Intercept Highlights:
Hole X22-23-021
• Intersected 1.36 g/t AuEq over 18m and 3.62 g/t AuEq over 3 metres within a broader intersection
of 0.94 g/t AuEq over 32m, extending down-dip mineralization by 50 metres beyond previously
reported hole X22-23-024, which intersected 1.49 g/t AuEq over 34.5m (see Figure 2).
Hole X22-23-023
• Confirmed 100 metres of up-dip mineralization with at-surface intersections of 2.07 g/t AuEq over 4
metres, including 6.10 g/t AuEq over 1 metre (31- 35m downhole), demonstrating mineral continuity
from previously reported hole 87-22-446 which intersected 1.79 g/t AuEq over 8 metres, incl. 7.57
g/t over 1 metre and 4.31 g/t over 1 metre (See Figure 3).
• Intersected 2.62 g/t AuEq over 11 metres within a broader intersection of 1.46 g/t AuEq over 30m,
from 151 to 181 metres downhole, confirming an additional mineral extension by 100 metres up-dip
beyond previously reported hole 87-22-446, which intersected 1.52 g/t AuEq over 12m, incl. 10.51
g/t AuEq over 1m (see Figure 3).
Justin Reid, CEO of Troilus Gold, commented, “Drilling at X22 only began in late 2022, and results to date
have consistently attested to this shallow zone’s strong potential to positively impact the grade profile of
Troilusin early years of the mine life. Today’sresults have bridged existing gaps between previously drilled
intercepts and provide an increased level of confidence in the continuity of mineralization at higher grades
across X22. We look forward to releasing the remaining results of incoming assays in the coming weeks
and believe they will build on today’s positive results.”

January 26, 2023, Montreal, Quebec – Troilus Gold Corp. (“Troilus” or the “Company”) (TSX: TLG; OTCQX:
CHXMF; FRA: CM5R) reports positive assay resultsfrom the Connector Zone, a target located between the
two previously mined Z87 and J4 open pits, at its gold-copper Troilus Project in northcentral, Quebec,
Canada. The results herein are part of an ongoing 5,000-metre drill program designed to target and
expand on shallow high-grade mineralization intersected in thiszone late last year(see November 8, 2022,
press release).
The latest results further demonstrate high-grade mineral continuity extending on a north, north-west
trend between the two formerly mined pits (see Figures 1 and 2). Highlights are reported below, with
results presented in Table 1.
Connector Zone Intercept Highlights:
Hole 87-449
? 2.07 g/t AuEq over 11.2m, including 4.07 g/t AuEq over 5m
This interval is located directly at surface; the hole collared into bedrock within this high-grade
mineralized zone.
? 1.22 g/t AuEq over 10.0m, including 1.49 g/t AuEq over 6.2m
? 1.31 g/t AuEq over 6m
Hole 87-451
? 4.33 g/t AuEq over 29m, including 6.37 g/t AuEq over 18m
? 5.5 g/t AuEq over 6m
? 1.01 g/t AuEq over 49m, including 1.99 g/t AuEq over 10m
Justin Reid, CEO of Troilus Gold, commented, “The latest drill results from this new and exciting target
further demonstrate the continuity of mineralized high-grade structures between the two formerly mined
open pits. Detailed structural work completed by the geology team has greatly contributed to the
understanding and successful targeting of these high-grade trends. These shallow high-grade zones exist
within and in close proximity to the PEA pit shells and we believe they could be brought into the mine
plan to positively impact the strip ratio and project economics. In the coming months our team will
continue to focus on maximizing opportunities for discovery and delineation of high-grade near surface
targets for inclusion in our upcoming Feasibility Study, expected in the second half of 2023.
