TRIFECTA GOLD OPTIONS YUGE PROJECT TO NORTEC MINERALS

Trifecta Gold Ltd. has granted Nortec Minerals Corp. the option to earn a 100-per-cent interest in its Yuge gold project, located in northern Nevada.

Following an initial payment of $25,000 to secure the option, Nortec can earn a 100-per-cent interest in the Yuge by making escalating annual payments to Trifecta totalling $2-million over five years. The Yuge will remain subject to an existing underlying royalty and defined resource payments owed to Silver Range Resources Ltd., the previous property owner. The initial payment to Trifecta and up to 50 per cent of the annual payments can be satisfied by issuing to Trifecta shares of Nortec valued at the 10-day volume-weighted average price. The transaction is subject to approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.

Trifecta is pleased to monetize a non-core property holding while it focuses on discovering new gold deposits within the Yukon's Tombstone gold belt. Trifecta drilled 1.02 grams per tonne gold over 37 metres in its first ever drill hole at the Rye project in 2025 and the company is currently planning a follow-up program for summer 2026. Gold results at the Rye project correlate strongly with bismuth, tellurium and tungsten, providing additional evidence that Rye hosts a reduced intrusion related gold system.

Trifecta is a Canadian-based precious metals exploration company dedicated to increasing shareholder value through the discovery and development of 100-per-cent-held gold projects in Yukon. Trifecta has secured an option to acquire a 100-per-cent interest in Mt. Hinton, Rye and nine other highly prospective, intrusion-related gold projects located in Yukon's Tombstone gold belt where over 20 million ounces of gold have been discovered since May, 2020. The company's Eureka project hosts an eight-by-2.5-kilometre belt of surface showings and anomalous gold-in-soil that straddle the headwaters of two of the most productive placer creeks in Yukon's southern Klondike Goldfields.
