Trident Resources Hits High-Grade Gold at Contact Lake, Validating Expansion Potential

Event summary

  • Trident Resources intersected 41.46 g/t gold over 3.42m in Hole CL26033 at Contact Lake, including 81.75 g/t over 1.73m.
  • All seven winter drill holes at the BK3 Zone hit high-grade gold, exceeding expectations.
  • Trident plans 20,000m of additional drilling this summer to test deposit expansion.
  • The Contact Lake project is open for expansion along strike and at depth.

The big picture

Trident's high-grade intercepts at Contact Lake reinforce the project's potential to host substantial gold mineralization, building on the former Cameco mine's legacy. The results validate the BK3 Zone's prospectivity and position Trident to unlock further value in the underexplored La Ronge Gold Belt. With $26 million in treasury, Trident is well-funded to advance its aggressive drilling program.
