Troilus Drills High-Grade Gold-Copper Intercepts in Z87 Reserve Pit — Troilus Mining Corp.

Event summary

Troilus Mining Corp. reported high-grade gold-copper intercepts in the Z87 Reserve Pit, including 3.38 g/t AuEq over 22 meters within 129.05 meters at 0.95 g/t AuEq.
The results are part of the 2026 exploration program targeting Inferred material and historically unsampled intervals within the Z87 Reserve pit.
The current Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates, effective December 31, 2025, exclude all 2026 drilling results.
The drilling program aims to identify opportunities for resource conversion, pit optimization, and improved strip ratios.
Troilus has released results from 39 drill holes totaling 14,521 meters out of an approximately 24,000-meter program.

The big picture

Troilus Mining Corp. is systematically targeting historically unsampled intervals and Inferred material within the Z87 Reserve pit to improve the mine plan presented in the Company’s Technical Report. The ongoing Z87 optimization program aims to identify opportunities for resource conversion, pit optimization, and enhanced early-year mill feed, which could significantly impact the project's economic viability and operational efficiency. The results build on earlier 2026 drilling that has demonstrated mineralization beyond and within the current Reserve pit.

What we're watching

Resource Conversion: Whether the high-grade intercepts will lead to resource conversion from Inferred to Indicated categories, potentially enhancing future mine plans.
Pit Optimization: The impact of the drilling results on pit optimization and strip ratio improvements, which could reduce waste movement and enhance early-year mill feed.
Future Drilling: The pace at which additional drilling results will be released and their potential to further expand the mineral resource estimate.
