Trailbreaker Resources Launches Exploration Program at Atsutla Gold Project in Northwestern British Columbia

Trailbreaker Resources Ltd. has mobilized an exploration team to its flagship Atsutla Gold project located in northwestern British Columbia. The company's 100%-owned project covers over 40,000 hectares of ground with very limited historic exploration, situated 70 km south of the Yukon-British Columbia border and 120 km northwest of the Village of Dease Lake.

Over the past year, Trailbreaker has consolidated key ground within the Atsutla Gold project claim boundary near the Highlands zone, which hosts the highest gold grades sampled on the property to date, with samples returning up to 630 g/t gold. The newly acquired ground consists of 528 hectares, with 396 hectares acquired through recent staking and 132 hectares obtained through a purchase agreement with a claim holder. This area remains unexplored for gold by the company.

The exploration team will perform first-pass reconnaissance on the new ground, including geological mapping, prospecting, and soil sampling. Additionally, the team will ground-truth drill collar locations within the Highlands zone area in preparation for a future drill program. The Atsutla Gold project is fully permitted for drilling, focusing on two separate targets representing distinct deposit settings that have never been drilled.

Daithi Mac Gearailt, CEO of Trailbreaker, emphasized the significance of the project, stating that since its discovery in 2020, the Atsutla Gold project has remained the company's flagship property. Last year, the company advanced the Swan zone to a drill-ready stage, and they hope to achieve the same with the Highlands zone this year. The newly consolidated ground in the Highlands zone area is believed to be virtually unexplored, presenting substantial discovery potential.

The Highlands zone features widespread gold mineralization with numerous rock grab samples returning multi-ounce gold and silver values over a 750 by 600-meter area. The gold-bearing quartz veins are confined to shallow-dipping fault structures that have been traced for 3.5 kilometers to the north (Snook zone) and 1.5 kilometers to the east (Christmas Creek zone). This continuity suggests potential for additional mineralization within the newly consolidated ground west of the Highlands zone, which represents the primary focus of the current exploration program.

The project encompasses two distinct target types: the Highlands zone represents a brand-new high-grade orogenic gold discovery, while the Swan zone, situated 26 kilometers to the southeast, represents a porphyry copper-gold-silver target. The Swan zone is defined by a 1.5 by 1.5 kilometer multi-element soil geochemical anomaly coincident with geophysical features identified through recent surveys.

On August 26, 2025, Trailbreaker signed a purchase agreement for the 132-hectare parcel, paying CAD $10,000 to obtain a 100% interest in the property. The vendor retains a 2.0% Net Smelter Return royalty, which may be reduced to 1.0% through a cash payment of $1,000,000.

The Atsutla Gold project is centered over the regional-scale Teslin-Thibert fault system that marks the contact between the Quesnel and Cache Creek terranes. Gold mineralization is associated with Mesozoic batholitic intrusions that are the predominant geological unit on the property. Since its discovery in 2020, Trailbreaker has outlined five significant zones of gold mineralization across a 26-kilometer span, demonstrating the project's substantial scale and potential.
