TRIDENT RESOURCES EXPANDS INAUGURAL DRILL PROGRAM AT CONTACT LAKE GOLD PROJECT, SASKATCHEWAN

Trident Resources Corp. has expanded its current inaugural drill exploration program at its 100-per-cent-owned Contact Lake project, located in Saskatchewan. The drill program is focused on confirming historical gold grades and discovering new mineralized zones both adjacent to and below the historical underground mine workings. Trident is very pleased with the drilling progress as well as the visual indications of mineralization thus far and has elected to increase the program from 5,000 metres to over 6,500 metres in 18 to 20 drill holes. The company is fully financed for this increase with over $11-million in its treasury.

Drill program highlights:

• Excellent progress is being made with the drilling and costs are coming in lower than expected with nearby infrastructure helping to make the drilling more cost-efficient;
• Encouraging visual mineralization has been seen in numerous drill holes, prompting an expansion in the drilling program;
• Additional approximately 1,500-metre drilling (approximately 30-per-cent) increase to the current 5,000-metre program for a total over 6,500 metres in 18 to 20 drill holes planned;
• The program remains fully financed with core samples being split and sent for analytical geochemical testing; assays are pending.

Jonathan Wiesblatt, chief executive officer of Trident, commented: "Due to the early visual indications of mineralization and cost-effective execution of the ongoing drilling program, Trident is adding an additional [approximately] 1,500 metres of drilling, bringing the total initial diamond drilling program to [approximately] 6,500 metres. The additional metres will be focused on the following:

1. "Expanding the known footprint of the deposit by drilling underneath the old mine workings, following up on historical drill holes which intersected high-grade gold;
2. "And closing the gap between the current known mineralization and its extension both down dip and laterally; the company believes this program has the potential to add to the current know geological model with a minimal amount of additional drilling and positively impact the resource potential of the project.

"Further, we expect ample news flow in the coming months from this drill program, technical report updates and continued consolidation of properties in this prolific gold district."

Geological discussion

Numerous drill holes have been designed to test for the extension of gold mineralization between the historical underground workings and the unmined BK3 gold zone, located 50 metres toward the northeast of Trident's drilling. These holes successfully intersected the Bakos shear at the predicted position, encountering a broad zone of strong alteration and veining that extended from the hangingwall through the shear zone and into the footwall below.

The remainder of the drill program will seek to discover gold mineralization at shallow depths and test for extensions of the Main zone at depth below the historical underground mine workings.

Marketing agreement

Further to the company's May 29, 2025, news release, whereby the company announced the engagement of Resource Stock Digest (RSD) for a three-month advertising and marketing program, the company wishes to clarify that it was for two distinct investor relations and marketing programs, both effective May 28, 2025. The first is a three-month awareness campaign at a total cost of $115,000 (U.S.), payable up front. The second is a featured company sponsorship with an initial three-month term at a quarterly cost of $10,000 (U.S.), for an 18-month term, unless terminated by the company with 30 days of notice. The total upfront payment for both engagements is $125,000 (U.S.).

Qualified person

The scientific and technical data contained in this news release were reviewed and approved by Cornell McDowell, PGeo, a non-independent qualified person under the National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure of Mineral Projects. Mineralization hosted on nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization that may be hosted on the property.

Mr. McDowell visited the property several times in 2025 in advance of the drill program to establish control on historical infrastructure and determine potential drill hole locations. He has discussed and reviewed core logging, sampling and handling procedures with the qualified staff from Terralogic Exploration, who are managing the drill program on behalf of Trident Resources. The 2025 drill program will include a robust quality assurance/quality control program and follow provincially mandated health and safety protocols with participation from several local personnel, including members of the Lac La Ronge Indian Band.
