Trilliant Exploration (OTCQB: TTXP) is pleased to announce the
discovery of the previously undocumented Pomeroy 5 East and West
Zones at Copper Island Project. Assay results from the Pomeroy 5
East Zone have averaged 4.6% copper and 24g/t silver, up to 6.5%
copper and 68g/t silver. Nine selective rock samples were taken
from blasted and exposed bedrock over a length of 30m and analyzed
at Acme Analytical Labs (Vancouver, BC). Assay results from Pomeroy
5 West Zone have averaged 2.4% copper and 9g/t silver, up to 3.6%
copper and 12g/t silver. Four selective rock samples were taken
from blasted and exposed bedrock 15m in length. The Pomeroy 5 East
Zone is located 150m to the west of Pomeroy 2 South, with the
Pomeroy 5 West Zone located 130m further west along the same
east-west orientation. The discovery of the Pomeroy 5 Zones were
the result of grid based exploration and a single map reference
indicating a mineralized zone on a geological map from Prince
Stewart Mines (1974).
"We are pleasantly, but not completely, surprised to find
mineralization outside of the known zones. While our focus remains
confirmation of previous work there appears to be no shortage of
exploration opportunities within close proximity at Copper Island,"
stated Jared Lazerson, Chief Executive Officer of Copper Island
Mines Ltd. Pomeroy 5 is a parallel structure 600m x 300m located to
the west of the past producing Pomeroy 2 with mineralization that
includes copper grade, high correlation with silver and at an
elevation that are similar. The extent of mineralization at Pomeroy
5 beyond sampled areas is unknown.
Complete assay results for copper and silver from Pomeroy 5 East
and West Zones are presented below:

Copper Island Mines Ltd. is in the process of working with its
management team to produce a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate
which seeks to independently verify the 3.5 Million tonnes grading
2% Copper, the historical resource estimate.
The Project and its rights and claims are located 15km NW of
Campbell River, British Columbia. Copper Island Mines Ltd. is the
operator of a 3000 hectare property which is known for high grade
chalcocite mineralization. The area has been under regular
development and small scale production since 1915. The area
contains one of the highest densities of copper prospects in
British Columbia and is rated high for mineralization by the BCGS
(British Columbia Geological Survey). Initial exploration on the
Property was conducted by Dodge Copper in 1954 when 145 percussion
holes were drilled outlining the Pomeroy areas. Exploration in the
1970's by Prince Stewart Mines and Quadra Mining resulted in a
historic reserve estimate of 3.5 metric tons grading 2% copper.
Exploration in the 1990s resulted in a historical resource estimate
from all occurrences of 5.3Mt grading 1.98% copper, and is used for
historical reference purposes only.
