08:20 AM EDT, 05/19/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Troilus Gold (TLG.TO) released the first batch of results from the West Rim Zone as part of an ongoing 2026 exploration program at the Troilus copper-gold project in north central Quebec, the company said on Tuesday.

The now-concluded West Rim drill program followed up on the newly discovered West Rim Zone, identified in 2024 within 200 meters of the North Reserve Pit.

The latest drilling significantly expands and strengthens the original discovery, returning some of the strongest near-pit grade-thickness intercepts drilled to date at Troilus.

Highlights of the results include 2.92 grams per tonne gold equivalent over 19 m, including 7.82 g/t gold equivalent over 5 m; and 1.97 g/t gold equivalent over 20 m, including 5.96 g/t gold equivalent over 6 m.

All reported intercepts remain entirely outside the current mineral resource estimate while being located in close proximity to planned mining and infrastructure areas contemplated in the 2024 feasibility study.

The results continue to support the potential for both open pit and underground development scenarios at West Rim.
