Trident Resources Corp. (TSXV: ROCK) (OTCQB: TRDTF) (Frankfurt: 6BP0) (“Trident” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the fixed-wing low level tight drape high resolution radiometric and magnetic survey over the Reindeer Gold Project (the “Reindeer Project”) has been completed.
asserted
survey → announce → Project
The survey comprised over 6,600-line km and covered the entirety of the early stage 29,300-hectare property located in Saskatchewan’s underexplored La Ronge Gold Belt (“LRGB”).
asserted
survey → comprise → Belt
The Reindeer Project is host to multiple documented mineral occurrences and straddles over 40km of the Duck Lake Shear Zone, an important geologic structure that marks the contact between the La Ronge and Kisseynew lithostructural domains.
asserted
that → document → domains
This boundary is intimately associated with several past-producing mines, existing gold deposits and numerous gold occurrences throughout the LRGB.
asserted
boundary → associate → LRGB
The combined radiometric and magnetic survey featured 50m line spacing with 250m tie-lines to produce high-resolution data that will help to delineate lithologic boundaries and geologic structures that could host undiscovered gold deposits.
uncertain
that → feature → deposits
The survey area at Reindeer also features three distinct strands of the regional Tabbenor Fault System, host to SSR’s Seabee Gold Project located 80km south of Reindeer.
asserted
area → feature → Reindeer

Contact Lake Drone Magnetic Survey:
In addition to the airborne geophysical survey over Reindeer, Trident also announces that a tightly spaced (25m) drone magnetic survey is underway at the Contact Lake Gold Property.
asserted
survey → announce → Property
The drone-based survey will cover a large (8 km2) area that includes the Contact Lake mine site and an area that hosts intersecting shear structures with coincident gold-in-soil and gold-in-rock anomalies.
asserted
that → base → anomalies
In 2026, Trident has already completed over 2500 soil samples in the area encompassed by the drone survey.
asserted
Trident → complete → survey
The combined surface, magnetic and existing drill data will be used to understand the controlling structures and locate near-term drill targets at Contact Lake.
asserted
data → exist → Lake
Contact Lake 2026 Exploration Program Update:
The 2026 summer drill program at Contact Lake has just surpassed 11,000m of an anticipated 20,000m.
asserted
program → surpass → m.
Drilling is focused on extending the known high-grade mineralization at depth and along strike.
asserted
Drilling → focus → strike
In addition to the ambitious drill program, Trident is conducting a comprehensive soil sampling program (9000 samples) at both Contact Lake and the adjacent Preview project, which hosts the Preview SW and Preview North deposits.
asserted
which → conduct → deposits
Soil grids at Preview will cover highly prospective areas along the Preview mineralized trend between the two deposits and southwest of Preview SW, where existing magnetic survey data outlines compelling exploration targets.
asserted
data → cover → targets
Contact Lake Gold Property Map:
Contact Lake Gold Project Overview:
The Contact Lake Gold Project covers approximately 22,790 hectares and includes the past-producing Contact Lake gold mine, which produced approx. 190,000 ounces of gold at an average head grade of 6.16 g/t Au during active mining operations between 1994 to 1998.
asserted
which → cover → 1998
At the time of mine closure, the price of gold hovered around $300/oz (USD) and Cameco Corporation reported that substantial gold resources were left unmined.
asserted
resources → hover → 300
Situated in the highly prospective La Ronge Gold Belt of Saskatchewan, the Contact Lake Property also hosts the Preview SW, Preview North and the North Lake orogenic gold deposits.
asserted
Property → situate → SW
Along with the Greywacke North deposit (located by road 40km northeast of Contact Lake), these four deposits are wholly-owned by Trident Resources and host current Mineral Resource Estimates (Trident news release November 24, 2025) which do not include any gold-related ounces from the past-producing Contact Lake target area.
asserted
which → locate → area
Trident intends to advance its assets in the under-explored LRGB through focused drilling, prospecting, surface sampling and geophysical surveys to unlock potentially immense value in an emerging gold-rich district.
asserted
Trident → intend → district
Trident’s large land package of 98,700 hectares within the LRGB is strategically located to cover numerous mineral occurrences associated with the highly prospective boundary between the La Ronge and Kisseynew lithostructural domains, a compelling exploration target area that helps forms the thesis of Trident’s exploration strategy.
asserted
that → locate → strategy
“We continue to build out the compelling district and regional-scale potential of the La Ronge Gold Belt,” said Jon Wiesblatt, CEO of Trident Resources.
asserted
Wiesblatt → continue → Resources
“Our expansive land position of nearly 100,000 hectares gives Trident a critical competitive advantage in this emerging gold district, underpinning a resource base of over 2.0 million ounces across four wholly-owned deposits – and notably, this figure excludes any ounces from our past-producing, high-grade Contact Lake gold mine, which we believe holds substantial additional upside.
asserted
we → give → upside
With a strong balance sheet and a fully funded 2026 exploration program, Trident is well positioned to aggressively advance its district-scale strategy.
asserted
Trident → fund → strategy
Looking ahead, shareholders can expect a steady stream of catalysts over the remainder of the year, including assay results from our 20,000 metre summer and fall drill programs, as we work to unlock the full potential of the belt.”
Reindeer Project Acquisition Details:
The Company elected to accelerate its earn-in on the Reindeer Project and has issued 1,000,000 common shares of the Company to Reinco Exploration Limited (“Reinco”) to complete the acquisition of a 100% interest in the Reindeer Project, ahead of the schedule set out in the original option agreement.
