TRU Announces High-Grade Copper and Gold Assays from Summer 2023 Prospecting at Golden Rose, including 7.3% Cu and 54.4 g/t Au

TRU announces high-grade gold and copper results from a recent prospecting and rock (grab) sampling program conducted on the Company’s Golden Rose Project in Central Newfoundland.

▼ DOWNLOAD AS PDF (983 kb)

Toronto, Ontario – October 3, 2023 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU; OTCQB:TRUIF) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce high-grade gold (Au) and copper (Cu) results from a recent prospecting and rock (grab) sampling program conducted on the Company’s Golden Rose Project (“Golden Rose”) in Central Newfoundland (Figure 1). The summer 2023 prospecting program was focused on the discovery of new gold and critical minerals targets at Golden Rose. These recent high-grade grab sample results continue to prove the rich gold and copper endowment along the highly prospective Cape Ray-Valentine Lake Shear Zones.

Highlights

Three bedrock grab samples collected from the southeastern part of Victoria Lake along the Valentine Lake Shear Zone (“VLSZ”) returned assay values between 0.69 to 2.78 grams per tonne (g/t) Au. This area has had limited exploration to-date.
A newly discovered copper-silver-rich target located less than 2 km north-northeast of the Mark’s Pond target along the Cape Ray Shear Zone (“CRSZ”) returned between 0.53% to 7.33% Cu and 0.9 to 3.3 g/t silver (Ag) from bedrock grab samples. Based on these high-grade copper results, this area is considered a promising critical minerals target for future exploration and may be similar to the Jacob’s Pond target to the west.
Resampling of the Rich House target returned between 2.25 g/t and 54.38 g/t Au and 7.6 g/t Ag in bedrock grab samples, further confirming the high-grade gold and silver present at this target located only 4 km northeast of the Mark’s Pond Gold Zone.
A bedrock grab sample collected approximately 500 m northeast of Wood Lake returned 10.46 g/t Au and a float sample south of Wood Lake returned 9.66 g/t Au.
Significant assay highlights from the grab sampling program are shown in Table 1 and Figure 2 below.

TRU Co-Founder and CEO Joel Freudman commented: “These recent grab sample assay results are encouraging, especially in areas that have not seen much, if any, exploration in the past. We are quite excited about the critical minerals and gold potential in the northeastern part of Golden Rose along the Cape Ray Shear Zone and in the southeastern part of Victoria Lake, and these areas warrant future early-stage exploration at Golden Rose. Our immediate plan is to continue to grow our pipeline of gold and critical minerals prospects at Golden Rose using innovative and cost-effective exploration, geophysical, and remote sensing techniques to produce several additional drill-ready targets beyond what we are already firming up at Mark’s Pond.”

**Table 1: Table of assay highlights from the summer 2023 grab sampling program**
Notes: *Samples returning fire assay results >1 g/t Au were analysed using Total Pulp Metallic analysis (screen metallics) to mitigate the nugget effect of coarse visible gold in the samples. NSV - no significant values; CRSZ – Cape Ray Shear Zone; VLSZ – Valentine Lake Shear Zone.

Technical Summary

TRU recently completed its summer 2023 exploration program and collected a number of rock (grab) samples from the Rich House target and Wood Lake area, and at several locations along the Cape Ray-Valentine Lake Shear Zone with minimal to no historical exploration work. Assay highlights from the grab sampling program are shown in Figure 2 and Table 1.

Grab samples collected at Rich House included green-grey to brown altered (quartz-ankerite alteration) metasediments with stockwork quartz veins/veinlets and visible gold, and trace arsenopyrite. Grab samples collected at Wood Lake included fine-grained, green-grey mafic volcanics and pink monzogranite with between 3-5% disseminated pyrite, 1-2% chalcopyrite, and 3% arsenopyrite. Grab samples collected along the CRSZ in the northwestern part of Golden Rose included dark grey to green, strongly chloritized and sheared mafic volcanics with abundant chalcopyrite (3 to >5%), pyrite (2-3%), and minor malachite producing high-grade copper results. Grab samples collected on the southeastern part of Victoria Lake along the VLSZ included medium-grained, green-grey mafic volcanics with abundant pyrite and chalcopyrite and rusty weathered surfaces.

Certain of the Company’s claims at Golden Rose are under option from Quadro Resources Ltd. (the “Optionor”) pursuant to an option agreement between the parties. Under such agreement, the Optionor will retain either a 49% interest or a 35% interest, as the case may be, in such claims depending on the extent, if any, to which TRU exercises its option.

Sampling, QAQC, and Analytical Procedures

All rock (grab) samples were either collected from outcrops (bedrock) or as float samples and put into sample bags with unique sample tags by TRU prospecting and geological staff. The exact location of the collected grab sample was taken using a handheld GPS unit and field notes were taken on lithology, structure, and mineralization. The grab samples were securely transported by TRU staff to either Eastern Analytical’s laboratory in Springdale, NL or SGS Canada’s laboratory in Grand Falls-Windsor, NL. Eastern Analytical and SGS Canada are commercial laboratories that are ISO/IEC 17025 accredited and both independent of TRU. Both laboratories pulverized 1,000 grams of each sample to 95% < 89 μm. Samples were analyzed using fire assay (30g) with AA finish and an ICP-34, four acid digestion followed by ICP-OES analysis. Samples sent to the lab with visible gold or assaying above 1.00 g/t Au were further assayed using Total Pulp Metallic analysis (metallic screening) to mitigate the presence of the nugget effect of coarse gold.

Total Pulp Metallic Sieve Procedure: Crush entire sample to approximately 80% (-10 mesh). Total sample is pulverized to approximately 95% (-150 mesh) in 200-300g portions. Sieve all pulverized material through 150 mesh screen. The total (+150 mesh) fraction is all fire assayed as one sample and the weight recorded. The entire (-150 mesh) fraction is rolled to homogenize and stored in a plastic bag. The entire weight of the (-150 mesh) fraction is recorded. A 30g sample is fire assayed from the (-150 mesh) portion. The two fire assay results (+150 and -150 mesh) are calculated (with the total weight of the sample to provide a weighted average of the sample) and the weighted average Au result is reported.

The TRU exploration programs are designed to be consistent with mining industry best practices and the programs are supervised by Qualified Persons employing a QAQC program consistent with requirements under the CIM Mineral Exploration Best Practice Guidelines (2018) and National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”).

Cautionary Statements

Please note that soil, till, rock, and float samples are selective by nature, and values reported may not represent the true grade or style of mineralization at Golden Rose. Readers are cautioned that these potential grades are conceptual in nature; there has been insufficient exploration by the Company or its Qualified Person to define a mineral resource or deposit; and it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in these targets being delineated as a mineral resource.

The reader is cautioned that descriptions of mineralization reported in this news release are preliminary and/or early-stage results. While these results are considered encouraging, there is no guarantee that they indicate significant mineralization will be intersected in future drilling programs completed by the Company.

Qualified Person Statement and Data Verification

Mr. Ténière has verified all scientific and technical data disclosed in this news release including the grab sampling results and certified analytical data underlying the technical information disclosed. Mr. Ténière noted no errors or omissions during the data verification process and TRU’s Exploration Manager has also verified the information disclosed. The Company and Mr. Ténière do not recognize any factors of sampling or recovery that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the assay data disclosed in this news release.

TRU Extends High-Grade Gold Channel Sampling Results at Golden Rose, Including 14.6 g/t Au over 0.5 m and 5.7 g/t Au over 0.5 m

TRU Precious Metals Corp. reports additional high-grade gold channel sampling assay results from its summer 2023 trenching program at its Golden Rose Project, at the Mark’s Pond target on mineral claims under option from Quadro Resources Ltd.

Toronto, Ontario – September 19, 2023 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU; OTCQB:TRUIF) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to report additional high-grade gold channel sampling assay results from its summer 2023 trenching program at its Golden Rose Project (“Golden Rose”), at the Mark’s Pond target on mineral claims under option from Quadro Resources Ltd. (Figure 1). The 2023 trenching and channel sampling program is a continuation of the trenching program that commenced in fall 2022 at Mark’s Pond and led to the discovery of the Northcott Gold Zone (see press release dated January 12, 2023).

Highlights

The 2023 channel sampling program includes high-grade gold results from the Northcott West Extension trench, including:

14.58 grams per tonne (g/t) of gold (Au) over 0.5 metres (m), 5.73 g/t Au over 0.5 m, 4.05 g/t Au over 0.5 m, and
2.92 g/t Au over 1.1 m including 3.76 g/t Au over 0.6 m.
Channel samples were collected at 0.5 to 1 m intervals within each trench and included QAQC protocols. Samples returning fire assay results >1 g/t Au also underwent total pulp metallics analysis (screen metallics) to mitigate the presence of the nugget effect of coarse gold. Significant channel assay results are shown in Table 1.
The Northcott Gold Zone still remains open along strike to the southwest and northeast and has now been mapped over a 240 m strike length through trenching. TRU plans to continue mapping, prospecting, and infill soil sampling surveys along the contact between the Rogerson Lake Conglomerate and mafic volcanics to identify additional mineralized zones. A drilling plan is also being developed for the Northcott Gold Zone to confirm gold mineralization at depth.

Paul Ténière, TRU’s Vice President of Exploration commented, “These recent channel sample results have confirmed that gold mineralization in the Northcott Gold Zone extends along strike to the southwest at least 145 metres from the main Northcott trench and still remains open to the southwest and northeast. Our immediate plan is to further define this highly mineralized lithological contact to identify additional high-grade mineralized shoots along strike and to generate several drill targets in the Mark’s Pond area.”

TRU collected approximately 400 channel samples from the main Northcott trench, and five additional trenches excavated to the northeast and southwest of the main Northcott trench (Figure 2). This includes the Northcott West Extension trench, which has exposed a further 25 m of the high-grade Northcott Gold Zone along strike to the southwest. Detailed mapping in the Northcott West Extension trench indicates the Northcott Gold Zone is approximately 3-6 m wide at surface, has a known strike length of at least 60 m, and is still open to the northeast and southwest (Figure 3). The high-grade gold mineralization within the Northcott East and West extension trenches is being interpreted as a highly mineralized shoot, the plunge and thickness of which still needs to be confirmed through drilling.

The trenches were also structurally mapped by Terrane Geoscience (“Terrane”) in late May 2023. Terrane concluded that the high-grade gold mineralization in the Northcott Gold Zone is mainly concentrated at the faulted, brittle-ductile deformed contact between the Rogerson Lake conglomerate and mafic volcanic units as the latter rocks are more competent allowing veining and mineralization to occur. Terrane recommended targeting this faulted contact along strike to identify additional gold zones, and drill testing the Northcott Gold Zone at an azimuth to the northwest (normal to the lithological contact) to confirm gold mineralization at depth.

(2)     Assay results shown above include both fire assay (FAA) and metallic screening analysis (FSM) results.
(3)     Numbers have been rounded.
(4)     True width of Northcott Gold Zone is currently unknown.

Technical Summary

The Northcott Gold Zone trenches are located approximately 130 m northwest of the historically drilled, gold-bearing Mark’s Pond Gold Zone. A high-resolution drone (UAV) imagery survey was completed by Insite Surveys of Burgeo, NL over all the trenches capturing the channel sampling locations in precise detail. The drone imagery has been georeferenced for structural mapping purposes and to precisely locate the channel samples for future geological modelling and resource estimation. The true width of the Northcott Gold Zone is unknown at this time. However, the rock units are subvertical indicating sampled widths are likely close to true width, and this will be confirmed during future drilling.

The channel sample assay results continue to indicate that the quartz-carbonate veins and mineralized gold intervals within the Northcott Gold Zone tend to pinch and swell along strike, with high-grade widths ranging between 0.4 to 2.5 m (Figures 2 and 3). Associated alteration includes widespread sericite alteration within the highly strained fault zone and narrow zones of ankerite and chlorite alteration localized to the contact between the Rogerson Lake Conglomerate and mafic volcanic units. As noted earlier, gold mineralization remains open to the southwest and northeast of the current trench limits. TRU plans to continue mapping and prospecting of the mineralized contact between the Rogerson Lake Conglomerate and mafic volcanics to better understand the structural controls on gold mineralization in the Mark’s Pond target area.

The Mark’s Pond target area is among the Company’s claims under option from Quadro Resources Ltd. (the “Optionor”) pursuant to an option agreement between the parties. Under such agreement, the Optionor will retain either a 49% interest or a 35% interest, as the case may be, in such claims depending on the extent, if any, to which TRU exercises its option.

Sampling, QAQC, and Analytical Procedures

The channel samples were securely transported by TRU field staff to Eastern Analytical Ltd. (“Eastern Analytical”), a commercial laboratory that is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited and independent of TRU. Eastern Analytical pulverized 1,000 grams of each sample to 95% < 89 μm. Samples are analyzed using fire assay (30g) with AA finish and an ICP-34, four acid digestion followed by ICP-OES analysis. All samples with visible gold or assaying above 1.00 g/t Au were further assayed using total pulp metallic analysis (metallic screening) to mitigate the presence of the nugget effect of coarse gold.

Eastern Analytical total pulp metallic sieve procedure: Crush entire sample to approximately 80% (-10 mesh). Total sample is pulverized to approximately 95% (-150 mesh) in 200-300g portions. Sieve all pulverized material through 150 mesh screen. The total (+150 mesh) fraction is all fire assayed as one sample and the weight recorded. The entire (-150 mesh) fraction is rolled to homogenize and stored in a plastic bag. The entire weight of the (-150 mesh) fraction is recorded. A 30g sample is fire assayed from the (-150 mesh) portion. The two fire assay results (+150 and -150 mesh) are calculated (with the total weight of the sample to provide a weighted average of the sample) and the weighted average Au result is reported.

The TRU exploration programs are designed to be consistent with mining industry best practices and the programs are supervised by Qualified Persons employing a full QAQC program consistent with requirements under the CIM Mineral Exploration Best Practice Guidelines (2018) and National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”).

Readers are cautioned that descriptions of mineralization and the channel sample assay results reported in this news release are preliminary and/or early-stage results. While these results are considered encouraging, there is no guarantee that they indicate significant mineralization will be intersected at depth in future drilling.

Toronto, Ontario – September 6, 2023 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed the CAD$3,000,000 non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”), with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ormonde Mining Plc (“Ormonde”) [(LON:ORM)], that was previously announced on July 4, 2023. The Company issued a total of 60,000,000 units (“Units”) at a price of CAD$0.05 per Unit, with each Unit being comprised of one common share of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and 0.5 of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant is exercisable to acquire one Common Share at a price of CAD$0.075 for a period of 36 months.

Joel Freudman, Co-Founder and CEO of TRU, commented: “Closing this Offering marks a game-changing inflection point for TRU. We’re delighted to welcome Ormonde not only as a strategic investor, but also as our largest stakeholder. Ormonde’s entrance into the North American resource space through TRU speaks to the intrinsic value of our Golden Rose Project, as well as the caliber of the TRU team. In addition to advancing our Golden Rose Project, the funds from the Offering will enable us to execute a number of strategic and corporate initiatives we’ve been evaluating to generate value and ultimately drive share price appreciation. TRU is now well-capitalized amidst otherwise difficult market conditions, which we expect will lead to numerous exciting opportunities ahead. We look forward to combining the extensive technical expertise, capital markets knowledge, and transactional experience of our Ormonde partners with our own bench strength, as we lay the groundwork to pursue and achieve our overarching mission: to build long-term shareholder value, through prudent natural resource property development and transactions.”

Ormonde is a natural resources company focused on evaluating and executing new opportunities in the mineral exploration sector, through which they can leverage their existing balance sheet to create shareholder value. Ormonde is run by a seasoned team with a wide range of experience in natural resources including base and precious metals, investment banking and advisory services, and senior advisory roles. Ormonde has a proven track record in the successful acquisition and sale of natural resource assets, including its most recent transaction, the sale of the La Zarza gold, copper and zinc deposit property located in the Iberian Pyrite Belt in Spain.

In connection with the closing of the Offering, Ormonde has the right to appoint three out of five of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), with each such appointee subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. As such, in addition to Brian Timmons who joined the Board on June 30, 2023, Steve Nicol has been appointed to the Board as Ormonde’s second nominee. The final Ormonde Board nominee is expected to be appointed and announced shortly.

Mr. Nicol is a mining engineer with over 35 years of experience in the mining industry, including operations management, mine evaluation and development, and other diverse corporate roles. His experience covers open pit and underground mining, CIL, flotation, and gravity processing, and direct hands-on management of all phases of diverse mining projects, from early-stage exploration through to mine closure and rehabilitation, for a variety of commodities including base, precious and specialty metals and diamonds.

To accommodate Mr. Nicol joining the Board, David Hladky has resigned as a director of TRU. Mr. Freudman added: “We thank Dave for his valuable contributions as a director to the Company since 2020. On behalf of the Board and management, I wish him the very best with his future endeavours and look forward to his continued support as a shareholder. We also take this opportunity to welcome Steve Nicol to our Board, and expect he’ll provide tremendous insights to TRU as he applies his mineral project development acumen to our advancement of the Golden Rose Project.”

The securities issued under the Offering have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or any U.S. state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an available exemption from the registration requirement of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of, such securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Pursuant to the Offering, Ormonde acquired 60,000,000 Common Shares and 30,000,000 Warrants. Prior to the completion of the Offering, Ormonde did not hold any securities of the Company. As at the date hereof, after giving effect to the Offering, Ormonde holds 60,000,000 Common Shares representing approximately 36.19% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares, or 45.97% of the Common Shares on a partially diluted basis if Ormonde were to exercise all the Warrants that have been issued to it under the Offering. The Common Shares acquired by Ormonde pursuant to the Offering were acquired for investment purposes. Depending on market and other conditions, or as future circumstances may dictate, Ormonde may from time to time, increase or decrease its holdings of the Company's Common Shares. This portion of this news release is issued pursuant to National Instrument 62-103 – The Early Warning System and Related Take-Over Bid and Insider Reporting Issues, which also requires an early warning report to be filed with the applicable securities regulators containing additional information with respect to the foregoing matters.

THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Toronto, Ontario – July 4, 2023 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU; OTCQB:TRUIF) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding subscription agreement (the “Agreement”) with Ormonde Mining Plc (“Ormonde”) (LON:ORM), with respect to a non-brokered private placement of the Company to be carried out by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ormonde for gross proceeds of CAD$3,000,000 (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the Offering, the Company will issue a total of 60,000,000 units (“Units”) at a price of CAD$0.05 per Unit, with each Unit being comprised of one common share of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and 0.5 of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant would be exercisable to acquire one Common Share at a price of CAD$0.075 for a period of 36 months following the closing date of the Offering.

Completion of the Offering is subject to Ormonde obtaining shareholder approval and delisting from both the LSE Alternative Investment Market (“AIM”) and Euronext Growth, and subsequently to Ormonde completing such delisting. Completion of the Offering is also subject to the Company obtaining shareholder and TSX Venture Exchange approval, as discussed below.

Joel Freudman, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of TRU, commented: “On behalf of TRU management and our board of directors, we’re very excited to work with Ormonde towards them becoming a significant stakeholder of the Company. Their intended investment in TRU, which would mark Ormonde’s first foray into mineral exploration in North America, validates that TRU is significantly undervalued at current share price levels, and cements us on the right path to value-creation ahead. Both parties are extremely committed to successfully completing the Offering. We’re confident Ormonde will become an increasingly important partner of TRU, as we draw on their extensive technical expertise, successful transactional experience in the resource sector, and general capital markets savvy as we continue our efforts to develop our Golden Rose Project in central Newfoundland.”

Ormonde is a natural resources company listed on AIM and on the Euronext Growth market in Dublin. Headquartered in Ireland, Ormonde is focused on evaluating and executing new opportunities in the mineral exploration sector, through which they can leverage their existing balance sheet to create shareholder value. Ormonde is run by a seasoned team with a wide range of experience in natural resources including base and precious metals, investment banking and advisory services, and senior advisory roles. Ormonde has a proven track record in the successful acquisition and sale of natural resource assets, including its most recent transaction, the sale of the La Zarza gold, copper and zinc deposit property located in the Iberian Pyrite Belt in Spain.

Upon completion of the Offering, and assuming no other share issuances by TRU, Ormonde would own approximately 36.19% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares, or 45.97% of the Common Shares on a partially-diluted basis if Ormonde were to exercise all the Warrants that would be issued to it under the Offering.

In connection with the Offering, and provided Ormonde would hold greater than 33% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, (a) Ormonde would have the right to appoint three out of five nominees to the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) (subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval), and (b) management of the Company would nominate the Ormonde nominees for election as directors of the Company at each annual meeting of shareholders held following closing and the Company would be required to use its best efforts (subject to fiduciary obligations) to ensure that that nominees are elected as directors.

As a further demonstration of the parties’ commitment to completing the Offering, the Company has appointed Brian Timmons, the Chairman of the board of directors of Ormonde, to the Board. Mr. Timmons has over 30 years of experience in senior positions within financial institutions and a range of companies across the corporate sector including companies operating in the alternative energy, natural resource, healthcare technology, bioscience and software IT sectors. He is a Fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.

To accommodate Mr. Timmons joining the Board, Barry Greene has resigned as a director of TRU. Mr. Freudman added: “On behalf of the entire TRU team, we sincerely thank Barry for his longstanding service to the Company since its developmental days in late 2020, first as our inaugural Vice-President of Property Development, and more recently as Chair of the Technical Committee of the Board. We wish Barry much success in his future endeavours. We also take this opportunity to welcome Brian Timmons to our Board, and look forward to his governance and transactional advice.”

The proceeds from the Offering will be used for the development of the Company’s Golden Rose Project, as well as for general corporate and working capital purposes. No finder’s fees or commissions will be paid in connection with the Offering.

Given that, following the completion of the Offering, Ormonde will have a right to appoint a majority of the directors to the board of directors of the Company, and will hold greater than 20% of the outstanding Common Shares, the Offering will require shareholder approval pursuant to the applicable policies of the TSX Venture Exchange, as Ormonde will be deemed to be a new “Control Person” of the Company. The Company has called an annual and special meeting of shareholders of the Company, which will be held on July 31, 2023, for (among other things) the purpose of obtaining the requisite shareholder approvals for the Offering.

The directors of the Corporation have unanimously approved the terms of the Offering.

The securities to be issued pursuant to the Offering have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or any U.S. state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an available exemption from the registration requirement of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of, such securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

TRU Reports on Trenching Progress at Mark’s Pond High-Grade Gold Target at Golden Rose Project Abundant Visible Gold Mineralization Identified in New Trenches

TRU Precious Metals Corp. provides an update on its trenching and channel sampling program at the Mark’s Pond high-grade gold target at its Golden Rose Project located in the highly prospective Central Newfoundland Gold Belt.

▼ DOWNLOAD AS PDF (804 kb)

Toronto, Ontario – June 7, 2023 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU; OTCQB:TRUIF) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its trenching and channel sampling program at the Mark’s Pond high-grade gold target at its Golden Rose Project (“Golden Rose” or the “Project”) located in the highly prospective Central Newfoundland Gold Belt. Earlier this year, TRU reported high-grade gold channel sampling results from an initial Mark’s Pond trench (refer to TRU press release dated January 12, 2023). Trenching and channel sampling at Mark’s Pond began in mid-May and is expected to continue this month.

Two 50-100 metre (m) long trenches have already been finished approximately 100 m to the southwest and 90 m to the northeast of the main Northcott Zone trench completed last fall. In addition, several 25-30 m long trench extensions or test pits have been added to further expand the known strike length of several gold-bearing graphitic shear zones with quartz-carbonate veins including the newly discovered Northcott Gold Zone (Figure 1). High grade gold mineralization appears to be most prominent at the contact between the Rogerson Lake Conglomerate and mafic volcanic units at this location.

Gold panning of soil and till collected within or on the sides of these new trenches has identified a significant amount of pristine, fine-grained gold grains, especially next to newly uncovered shear zones and rock unit contacts. Visible gold has also been observed in bedrock exposed within these new trenches. Channel samples are being collected at 0.5 to 1 m continuous intervals in each trench (Figure 2) and include QAQC protocols. Assay results for the channel samples are still pending.

Terrane Geoscience Inc. recently completed their structural mapping and analysis of the Mark’s Pond trenches. Their structural analysis will be used for drill hole planning and understanding the subsurface nature of these mineralized and highly deformed shear zones at the contact between the Rogerson Lake Conglomerate and mafic volcanics. A new high-resolution drone (UAV) survey was also completed to capture the new trenches and will also be used for detailed mapping and modeling of the channel samples, rock units, and alteration and mineralized zones at surface. The high-resolution ground Magnetic-VLF data over the Mark’s Pond target area has been received from GroundTruth Exploration and is currently being compiled into GIS and Leapfrog Geo for 3D geological modeling and interpretation.

Combined, the high-resolution Mag-VLF and drone survey data, structural mapping data, and channel sampling results will provide the Company with a high degree of confidence when developing drill hole targets to intercept these mineralized zones at depth.

Once the Mark’s Pond trenching and channel sampling program has been completed, the exploration team will commence detailed prospecting and mapping in the Jacob’s Pond-Twin Ponds area to identify new copper and gold occurrences for future trenching and drilling in this region of Golden Rose.

Paul Ténière, TRU’s Vice President – Exploration commented, “I have been impressed by how quickly and efficiently our exploration team and contractors have completed our trenching and channel sampling program at Mark’s Pond, and this is a direct result of our detailed planning and preparation ahead of the start of our 2023 field season. We are already seeing abundant mineralization in these new trenches and the potential extension of the Northcott Gold Zone along strike for up to 200 metres, which is very exciting news.”

**Figure 2: West Trench at Mark’s Pond - mineralized quartz vein - containing abundant pyrite and chalcopyrite.**

Finally, the Company is also reporting that on May 29, 2023, it was issued an additional 1,000,000 special warrants convertible into common shares of Eastern Precious Metals Corp. (“Eastern”), for no additional cost, in accordance with the terms of the Company’s option agreement with Eastern (refer to TRU press release dated August 16, 2022). The Company understands that Eastern continues to advance its stock exchange listing process.

TRU Commences Exploration Field Season at Golden Rose Project

TRU Precious Metals Corp. announces the start of its 2023 field exploration season at its 100% owned Golden Rose Project located in the highly prospective Central Newfoundland Gold Belt.

▼ DOWNLOAD AS PDF (452 kb)

Toronto, Ontario – May 17, 2023 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU; OTCQB:TRUIF) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the start of its 2023 field exploration season at its 100% owned Golden Rose Project (“Golden Rose” or the “Project”) located in the highly prospective Central Newfoundland Gold Belt.

In March 2023, the Company commissioned GroundTruth Exploration (“GroundTruth”) of Dawson, YT to complete a high-resolution ground magnetometer-VLF (Very Low Frequency) geophysical survey (the “Mag-VLF survey”) over the Mark’s Pond area where the Company reported high-grade gold channel sample results as high as 57.6 g/t Au over 2.5m (refer to TRU news release dated January 12, 2023). The Mag-VLF survey was designed to potentially identify the extent of the shear zone hosting the high-grade Northcott Gold Zone to the northeast and southwest and to further investigate the potential for additional parallel shear zones and mineralized fault structures in the vicinity. The Mag-VLF survey is now complete with final interpreted results expected from GroundTruth within the next 2 to 3 weeks. Final geophysical results will be announced once received.

The TRU exploration team has recently commenced field work at the Mark’s Pond target area including the remaining channel sampling at the trench opened up in fall 2022. This will be followed by the completion of at least 3 to 4 new trenches at Mark’s Pond spaced at least 100 m apart with the aim to potentially trace the Northcott Gold Zone and other parallel shear zones along strike in a NE-SW direction. The Company has also commissioned Terrane Geoscience Inc. (“Terrane”) of Halifax, NS to complete a structural mapping and analysis program at the Mark’s Pond and Jacob’s Pond trenches by the end of May. Terrane will collect structural orientation data and characterize tectonic fabrics, veining, and any other structures that could potentially control mineralization. Combined, these programs aim to develop several priority diamond drill hole targets at Mark’s Pond and Jacob’s Pond (Figure 1).

Paul Ténière, TRU’s Vice President – Exploration commented, “We are very excited to be back at Golden Rose to complete field programs that will further develop the Mark’s Pond target and lead to priority drill hole targets in the short term. The area southwest of Jacob’s Pond and south of Twin Ponds is also a top priority based on the 2022 soil geochemistry results indicating significant copper and gold-in-soil anomalies. We plan to commence exploration work at Jacob’s Pond once our trenching and channel sampling programs at Mark’s Pond have been completed, and we expect to complete detailed prospecting and mapping in this area leading to further trenching and channel sampling programs.”

TRU Prioritizes Top Gold and Copper Targets for Second Quarter Exploration Program at Golden Rose Project

TRU Precious Metals Corp. announces its exploration plans for the second quarter of 2023 at its 100% owned Golden Rose Project located in the highly prospective Central Newfoundland Gold Belt.

▼ DOWNLOAD AS PDF (506 kb)

Toronto, Ontario – March 16, 2023 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU; OTCQB:TRUIF) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its exploration plans for the second quarter of 2023 at its 100% owned Golden Rose Project (“Golden Rose” or the “Project”) located in the highly prospective Central Newfoundland Gold Belt.

Q2 Exploration Plans

Initial exploration work will focus on three key target areas, specifically:

Mark’s Pond, where the Company recently reported high-grade gold channel sample results as high as 57.6 g/t Au over 2.5m;
Jacob’s Pond, where the Company’s 2022 drill program discovered copper and silver, and the Company recently announced copper-gold-zinc soil sampling results strengthening TRU’s critical minerals potential; and
The Rich House and northeast Victoria Lake area, where historical grab samples at the Rich House target returned up to 189.2 g/t Au at the main mineral occurrence, and visible gold has been previously reported.

Joel Freudman, Co-Founder and CEO of TRU, commented, “2023 is already proving to be a significant year for TRU. The gold-copper potential that we have been steadily and systematically uncovering at Golden Rose is encouraging, as it provides our shareholders with exposure to precious metals as well as critical minerals. Earlier this year, we reported high-grade gold channel sampling results from our Mark’s Pond trench, the key driver behind our latest tuck-in acquisitions to lock up any available real estate around this area. TRU is well-positioned to continue cost-effectively exploring Golden Rose for further discoveries, and importantly, we are fully funded for this segment of work. We remain committed to building Golden Rose into a turn-key project with a strong exploration and discovery pipeline.”

The second quarter work program will consist of prospecting and rock sampling, trenching and channel sampling, and structural mapping at the Jacob’s Pond, Mark’s Pond, and Rich House target areas (Figure 1), with a view towards follow-on drill programs at these targets in summer 2023. In addition, a ground Magnetic-VLF geophysical survey will be conducted over the Mark’s Pond area, to trace the shear zone hosting the high-grade Northcott Gold Zone to the northeast and southwest and to further investigate the potential for additional parallel shear zones and mineralized structures in the vicinity.

An extensive soil sampling and prospecting program will also be conducted near the Rich House area and extend along the southern part of Victoria Lake, within the far northeastern part of Golden Rose located only 8 km southwest of Marathon Gold’s Valentine Gold Project.

Additional Claims Staking

Given the highly prospective nature of these target areas, the Company is also pleased to announce that it has staked three additional mineral claims, increasing its claims holdings by 75 hectares. These non-contiguous claims are located south of the Mark’s Pond high-grade gold discovery, and further consolidate the Company’s extensive land holdings at Golden Rose.

TRU Strengthens Critical Minerals Potential at Golden Rose with Copper-Gold-Zinc Soil Sampling Results

TRU Precious Metals Corp. announces results from its soil sampling programs completed along the Jacob’s Pond trend at its 100% owned Golden Rose Project located in the highly prospective Central Newfoundland Gold Belt.

▼ DOWNLOAD AS PDF (1.3 Mb)

Toronto, Ontario – January 26, 2023 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU; OTCQB:TRUIF) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the results from its soil sampling programs completed along the Jacob’s Pond trend (“Jacob’s Pond”) (Figure 1) at its 100% owned Golden Rose Project (“Golden Rose” or the “Project”) located in the highly prospective Central Newfoundland Gold Belt.

A total of 1,903 soil samples were collected in this region and include sampling completed during the 2022 field season to infill gaps in historical soil sampling coverage. The soil sampling programs were designed to identify new copper-zinc-lead and gold-silver mineralization and provide additional targets for TRU’s 2023 exploration and drilling programs along Jacob’s Pond. This target extends over 4 km and includes low- to high-grade critical minerals and gold-silver occurrences which have strong Induced Potential (IP) geophysical and soil anomalies.

Highlights

TRU has identified strong copper-zinc and gold soil anomalies across Jacob’s Pond, which correspond well with the 2022 diamond drilling results at the Jacob’s Twin sub-target along trend. For example, hole JP-22-10 intersected several mineralized zones containing quartz-carbonate veining and copper mineralization, one of which assayed 1.03% copper (Cu), 0.71 g/t gold (Au), and 24.95 g/t silver (Ag) over 3.0m from 193.45 m to 196.45 m hole depth (refer to news release dated September 22, 2022 - “TRU Opens Up New Copper-Gold-Silver Discovery at Golden Rose”).
These soil sampling results also appear to correlate well with a high chargeability IP anomaly near the sheared contact with a flow banded rhyolite, and combined, these datasets have defined a new copper target between 750 m to 1.2 km southwest of the Jacob’s Twin target.
Soil sampling results have identified at least 8 strong copper and gold soil anomalies up to 3 km west of Jacob’s Pond, potentially defining a prominent southwest-trending mineralized fault structure that will be a major focus for additional prospecting, trenching, and drilling to confirm mineralization in bedrock.

Joel Freudman, Co-Founder and CEO of TRU commented, “We are very pleased with the results of our recent soil sampling programs completed along Jacob’s Pond, which clearly indicate the critical minerals and gold mineralization potential along this promising structural trend. Prominent copper and zinc soil anomalies identified southwest of Jacob’s Pond will be a major focus of our 2023 exploration plan in this region. With current projections for significantly increased demand for critical minerals far overwhelming current supply, we are excited at what may be the beginning stages of TRU being a real participant in Canada’s critical minerals strategy.”

**Figure 1: Location of TRU Soil Sampling Programs Along Jacob’s Pond**

Technical Summary

Soil sampling results have confirmed significant copper, zinc, lead, and gold anomalies in the Jacob’s Pond, Twin Ponds, and Bear Pond areas at Golden Rose. Soil sampling geochemistry results have proven to be a highly effective exploration tool in identifying bedrock copper, zinc, lead, and gold-silver mineralization in Central Newfoundland. By following up on soil geochemistry anomalies through prospecting, geophysical surveys, trenching, and diamond drilling, significant mineral discoveries have been made throughout the Cape Ray – Valentine Lake structural corridor.

The 2022 Jacob’s Twin soil sampling grid was designed to extend the 2021 grid lines in the Bear Pond to Twin Ponds area an additional 700 to 1,050 m further southeast (Figure 1). Soil geochemistry anomalies identified in 2021 were open to the southeast due to the limited length of the grid lines in this area. During fall 2022, a small follow-up infill soil sampling program was also carried out in an area of heightened interest on the Jacob’s Twin grid, in order to tighten up soil grid line spacing to 50 m.

The soil sampling results have confirmed a new, previously unrecognized area for further exploration southwest of Jacob’s Pond within a splay off the Cape Ray – Valentine Lake Shear Zone, and the presence of an underlying regional structure that may host critical minerals such as copper and zinc, in addition to other minerals including lead, gold, and silver. The soil geochemistry anomalies southwest of Jacob’s Pond appear to correspond with several heavily copper mineralized rock samples collected by TRU in 2022, including one rock sample which assayed 14.3 g/t gold (Au), 11% copper (Cu), 368 g/t silver (Ag) and 0.12% antimony (Sb) (refer to news release dated April 13, 2022 - “TRU Releases Interim IP Survey Results Over Gold and Copper Showings”).

Compiled soil geochemistry anomaly maps for copper, gold, and zinc are shown below in Figure 2 to Figure 4 and include the 2022 drill holes completed by TRU along Jacob’s Pond including the Jacob’s Twin target.

**Figure 2: Copper-In-Soil Anomaly Map**

Sampling and Analytical Procedures

The soil samples were collected at 25 to 50 m spacing along 100 m spaced lines, and wherever possible soil samples were collected from the B-horizon soil layer. Each soil sample location was recorded using a hand-held GPS and the sample placed in a plastic bag with a unique sample ID tag. Soil samples were dropped off at either the SGS Canada (“SGS”) laboratory in Grand Falls-Windsor, NL or the Eastern Analytical Limited (“EAL”) laboratory in Springdale, NL for sample preparation, gold fire assay, and 34-element ICP analysis. Both laboratories are independent of TRU.

The TRU exploration programs are designed to be consistent with mining industry best practices and the programs are supervised by Qualified Persons employing exploration procedures consistent with requirements under the CIM Mineral Exploration Best Practice Guidelines (2018) and National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”).

Readers are cautioned that the soil sampling results and descriptions of mineralization reported in this news release are preliminary and/or early-stage results. While these results are considered encouraging, there is no guarantee that they indicate significant mineralization will be intersected in future drilling programs.

Toronto, Ontario – January 19, 2023 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU; OTCQB:TRUIF) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the acquisition of 14 mineral claims at its Golden Rose Project (“Golden Rose”) in Central Newfoundland. These new mineral claims are located along the same trend as the Company’s Mark’s Pond target, which recently returned high-grade gold (“Au”) channel sampling results including 57.6 g/t Au over 2.5 m, 34 g/t Au over 2 m & 23.5 g/t Au over 2 m (refer to TRU news release dated January 12, 2023).

The Company has completed an asset purchase (the “Acquisition”) of two mineral licenses, comprising an aggregate of 14 mineral claims (the “Acquired Claims”) on 3.5 km2 of land contiguous to Golden Rose, from two arm's length vendors (the “Vendors”) (Figure 1). Transfer of the Acquired Claims into the Company’s name is currently being completed by the governmental mining recorder. The Company had previously engaged one of the Vendors, Stephen Stockley Agriculture and Fabrication Inc. (SSAF Exploration), for exploration work.

Joel Freudman, TRU’s Co-Founder and CEO commented, “We're pleased to begin 2023 by locking up these claims. On January 12th, we reported high-grade gold channel sampling results from our Mark's Pond trench. Those strong gold assays, combined with the results of our bedrock grab sampling at the Rich House target, which returned gold values as high as 16.8 g/t Au, were the impetus for this Acquisition. We believe that our recent high-grade discovery at Mark's Pond could be part of a 4-kilometre structural corridor up to the Rich House target, near the Acquired Claims. As we plan our 2023 exploration programs, the Mark's Pond and Rich House targets will be among our top priorities for further exploration and drilling. As such, the Acquired Claims are an exciting tuck-in acquisition for us, and we look forward to expanding on our recent discovery.”

As consideration for the Acquisition, the Vendors were paid $16,000 cash and were granted a 1% Net Smelter Returns Royalty in respect of the Acquired Claims, which royalty can be fully repurchased for $1,000,000. In addition, in the event TRU delineates a Measured and/or Indicated Mineral Resource Estimate, completed in accordance with CIM and NI 43-101 standards and guidelines, equal to at least 1,000,000 ounces of gold (at a 1 g/t cut-off grade) contained within the Acquired Claims, TRU shall make an additional one-time cash payment of $250,000 to the Vendors.

Toronto, Ontario – January 12, 2023 – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU; OTCQB:TRUIF) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to report high grade channel sampling results from a recent trenching program conducted on TRU’s claims under option from Quadro Resources Ltd. at TRU’s Golden Rose Project (“Golden Rose’’) in Central Newfoundland (Figure 1). The channel sampling program was completed on the Mark’s Pond target located along the deposit-bearing Cape Ray-Valentine Lake Shear Zone, where the Company recently announced results of a grab sampling program that indicated high-grade gold potential (refer to TRU news release dated November 23, 2022).

TRU collected a total of 159 channel samples within the recently excavated 275 m long trench, including 85 samples within a 23 m long easterly extension at the southern end of the trench along strike of a visible gold-bearing volcaniclastic and graphitic shear zone. This newly discovered high-grade gold zone has been named the “Northcott Gold Zone” to recognize the significant discoveries made by prospector Ed Northcott in this area.

Highlights

The Northcott Gold Zone is a significant gold discovery for TRU within a newly uncovered brittle-ductile shear zone located 130 m northwest of the Mark’s Pond Gold Zone. This 2 to 3 m wide northeast trending shear zone contains abundant visible gold within quartz-carbonate veins and the surrounding wall rock.
Significant channel sample gold results from the Northcott Gold Zone include (Figure 2 and Table 1):
57.6 g/t Au over 2.5 m including 141 g/t Au over 1.0 m
34.0 g/t Au over 2.0 m including 65.4 g/t Au over 1.0 m
23.5 g/t Au over 2.0 m including 90 g/t Au over 0.5 m
Channel samples in the Northcott Gold Zone were collected at 0.5 to 1 m intervals within 14 transects along a 23 m long northeast strike-line. A full QAQC program was implemented, and the majority of the channel samples underwent total pulp metallics analysis due to fire assay results returning >1 g/t Au.
The Northcott Gold Zone remains open along strike to the southwest and northeast. TRU plans to extend the trench further in both directions and complete detailed structural mapping of the entire trench and additional channel sampling in spring 2023 prior to drilling this zone.

Paul Ténière, TRU’s Vice President - Exploration commented, “This is a very exciting time for TRU, and these excellent gold assay results from our recent channel sampling program help confirm our belief that the newly discovered Northcott Gold Zone is part of a larger scale, gold-endowed structural corridor located within the Mark’s Pond target area, and potentially extending to the Rich House target 4 km to the northeast. The Northcott Gold Zone is not far from the high-grade Mark’s Pond Gold Zone, and we anticipate further gold discoveries along strike and to the northwest. The Mark’s Pond – Rich House targets will be considered a high priority for our 2023 exploration program at Golden Rose including additional trenching, channel sampling, and drilling.”

Technical Summary

The trench at Mark’s Pond is located approximately 130 m northwest of the historically drilled Mark’s Pond Gold Zone. During TRU’s fall exploration program, this historical trench was re-opened and extended to the north to test a second, multiple line, east-west trending historical gold-in soil anomaly that had not been previously trenched or drilled. A high-resolution drone (UAV) imagery survey was completed by Insite Surveys of Burgeo, NL over the entire trench also capturing the channel sampling locations in precise detail. The drone imagery has been georeferenced for structural mapping purposes and to precisely locate the channel samples for geological modelling purposes (Figure 2).

The channel sampling program included the insertion of QAQC materials (certified reference materials, blanks, and field duplicates) at regular intervals by TRU geologists, and the samples were sent to Eastern Analytical Ltd. (“Eastern Analytical”) in Springdale, NL for fire assay and ICP multi-element geochemistry analyses. Any channel samples returning a fire assay result greater than 1 g/t Au triggered a total pulp metallics analysis (metallic screening) of the sample to mitigate the presence of the nugget effect of coarse gold and to better characterize the coarse- and fine-grained gold fractions within these prominent gold bearing units. Complete fire assay and metallic screen analysis results for the channel samples collected in the Northcott Gold Zone are shown in Table 2. True width of the Northcott Gold Zone is unknown at this time. However, the rock units are subvertical indicating sampled widths are likely close to true width and this will be confirmed in future drilling programs.

The channel sample assay results indicate that the structurally-complex graphitic zone with stockwork quartz-carbonate veins containing visible gold within the Northcott Gold Zone tends to pinch and swell along strike, with high-grade widths ranging between <1 to 2.5 m (Figure 2). Associated wall-rock alteration includes carbonatization and sericitization typical within orogenic gold deposits with steeply dipping brittle-ductile shear zones hosting native gold.

A total of 74 channel samples were collected at several exposed bedrock locations along the rest of the trench, northwest of the Northcott Gold Zone, but returned no significant gold assay values. However, field crews were unable to complete channel sampling of the entire length of the trench due to the rapid onset of winter conditions. In spring 2023, TRU plans to channel sample all remaining low-lying (ponded) areas within the trench that may contain gold similar to that discovered in the southeastern part of the trench.

As noted earlier, gold mineralization remains open to the southwest and northeast of the current trench limit. TRU plans to extend the southern part of the trench in both directions in spring and summer 2023 and complete channel sampling within these extensions and to the northwest in areas of the trench that remain unsampled. In addition, a detailed structural mapping program will be undertaken in the trench to characterize the veins, collect structural measurements, and understand any structural controls on gold mineralization in the Mark’s Pond target area.

Sampling, QAQC, and Analytical Procedures

All channel samples were cut using portable saws with diamond blades and cleaned thoroughly with fresh water prior to insertion into sample bags by TRU field staff. This trench and sample cleaning process was implemented to eliminate the possibility of sample contamination by overburden (soil and till). The exact location of the channel sample line was taken using a handheld GPS unit and indicated on a hand drawn trench map, and field notes were taken on lithology, structure, and mineralization. The exact locations of the channel samples were later correlated and georeferenced with the high precision drone survey imagery. The channel samples were securely transported by TRU field staff to Eastern Analytical, a commercial laboratory that is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited and independent of TRU. Eastern Analytical pulverized 1,000 grams of each sample to 95% < 89 μm. Samples are analyzed using fire assay (30g) with AA finish and an ICP-34, four acid digestion followed by ICP-OES analysis. All samples with visible gold or assaying above 1.00 g/t Au were further assayed using total pulp metallic analysis (metallic screening) to mitigate the presence of the nugget effect of coarse gold.
