Americore Confirms High-Grade Silver in Historic Trinity Core, Including 509 g/t Silver
Confirmatory assays from historic Trinity core show higher silver values than past results and support Americore’s plan for an updated resource estimate.
Rhea-AI Summary
Americore Resources (AMCOF) reported confirmatory high-grade silver assays from historic core at the Trinity Silver Project in Nevada. Three five-foot core intervals from 2006 drilling returned silver values that met or exceeded historical assays, including 477 g/t silver by fire assay and 509 g/t silver by ICP-AES from hole TSD-009, versus an original 466 g/t silver, and 287 g/t and 301 g/t silver from TSD-002, versus an original 161 g/t silver. A stockpile sample was also collected. New multi-element analyses confirmed polymetallic mineralization, with 0.795% lead and 1.565% zinc in sample 158853. The sampling was limited and confirmatory and is not considered representative of the entire mineralized system or stockpiles. Americore plans to appoint a contractor to complete an updated Mineral Resource Estimate and NI 43-101 Technical Report, targeted for Q4 2026.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 9, 2026) - Americore Resources Corp. (TSXV: AMCO) (FSE: 5GP) (OTCQB: AMCOF) ("Americore" or the "Company") is pleased to report encouraging analytical results from confirmatory due-diligence sampling completed at the Trinity Silver Project in Pershing County, Nevada.
The program was undertaken as a preparatory step toward completing an updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") and NI 43-101 Technical Report for Trinity.
Three samples were collected from selected intervals of historic drill core from the 2006 drilling program completed by Renaissance Gold Inc. Each sample represented a five-foot interval of core. A fourth sample was collected from what appears to be one of the historic stockpiles located on the property.
The confirmatory results compared favourably with the historical silver assays. Most notably, sample 158853 from drill hole TSD-002 returned 287 g/t silver by fire assay and 301 g/t silver by ICP-AES, compared with the original assay of 161 g/t silver.
Sample 158852 from TSD-009 confirmed high-grade silver mineralization, returning 477 g/t silver by fire assay and 509 g/t silver by ICP-AES, compared with the original result of 466 g/t silver.

The new lead and zinc analyses also confirmed polymetallic mineralization within the selected core intervals. New results included
The sampling program was limited and confirmatory in nature. The results should not be considered representative of the entire mineralized system or the historic stockpiles.
Management Commentary
"These results provide an encouraging independent check of selected historical data from Trinity," said Justin Hanka, Chief Executive Officer of Americore Resources Corp.
"Each of the three core samples returned silver values that met or exceeded its corresponding historical assay, including up to 509 g/t silver from TSD-009 and 301 g/t silver from TSD-002. These results provide additional confidence as we move toward the next phase of technical work at Trinity.
"Our immediate priority is to appoint the appropriate technical team to complete an updated Mineral Resource Estimate and NI 43-101 Technical Report. We believe that methodically validating the historical database provides the right technical foundation for demonstrating Trinity's potential and planning the next phase of work."
Sample Preparation and Analytical Procedures
The samples were shipped by courier from Reno, Nevada, to ALS Canada Ltd. in North Vancouver, British Columbia, by the consultant who collected them.
For silver analysis, the samples were crushed to
Multi-element analysis was completed using ALS method ME-ICPORE, which analyzes 19 elements using an oxidizing digestion and ICP-AES finish. Sample preparation consisted of fine crushing to
Next Steps
Americore intends to appoint a qualified technical contractor to complete an updated Mineral Resource Estimate and prepare a supporting NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Trinity Silver Project. The Company currently anticipates completing this work during Q4 2026.

FAQ
What drilling program did the new Trinity samples come from?
The three core samples were taken from selected five-foot intervals of historic drill core from the 2006 drilling program completed by Renaissance Gold. A fourth sample was collected from what appears to be one of the historic stockpiles on the property.
How were the silver assays at Trinity prepared and analyzed?
For silver, samples were crushed to 90% passing two millimetres, then a 1,000-gram split was pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns. Silver analysis used ALS method Ag-GRA22, a 50-gram fire assay with gravimetric finish.
What analytical method was used for multi-element analysis at Trinity?
Multi-element analysis used ALS method ME-ICPORE, which analyzes 19 elements via oxidizing digestion and ICP-AES finish. Preparation involved fine crushing to 70% passing two millimetres and pulverizing a 250-gram split to 85% passing 75 microns.
When does Americore expect to complete the updated Mineral Resource Estimate for Trinity?
