Trident Resources Hits High-Grade Gold at Contact Lake, Reinforcing Project Scale

Event summary

  • Trident Resources intersected high-grade gold at Contact Lake, including 17.88 g/t Au over 11.25m and 42.53 g/t over 4.50m from 86m depth.
  • Eight diamond drill holes from the 2026 winter program confirmed gold mineralization in the BK3 Zone.
  • The winter drill program comprised 10,127m in 29 holes at Contact Lake and 3,142m in 11 holes at the adjacent Preview Deposit area.
  • Trident received a C$150,000 rebate from the Saskatchewan government's Targeted Mineral Exploration Incentive (TMEI) program.

The big picture

Trident Resources' latest high-grade gold intercepts at Contact Lake reinforce the project's potential to become a significant gold camp in Canada. The discovery of multiple parallel mineralized shear zones and consistent high-grade gold intercepts supports the belief that Contact Lake could rival other major Canadian high-grade discoveries. With over $28 million in the treasury, Trident is well-positioned to aggressively advance drilling and grow its gold resources.
