Troilus Gold Stock Price, News & Analysis

Troilus Gold Corp. (TSX: TLG; OTCQX: CHXMF) has initiated a major milestone in its exploration and development plans by starting the dewatering process of the J4 pit. This operation is expected to take approximately 6 months, with dewatering of the larger Z87 pit scheduled to begin in 2025, lasting about 18 months. The dewatering will provide safe access for ongoing exploration and is important for the redevelopment of the existing mine site.

Key points:

• Three 140Hp pumps are currently operating at the J4 pit
• New infrastructure has been constructed, including a main basin and spillway
• The project uses renewable hydroelectric power from Hydro-Quebec
• Water treatment facilities have been upgraded to meet government quality standards
• Environmental monitoring systems are in place to ensure minimal impact
• The company received approval for the dewatering project in 2020 after submitting an Environmental Impact Assessment in 2019

Troilus Gold has filed its NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Troilus Project's Feasibility Study (FS). The FS, prepared by AGP Mining Consultants, is in accordance with the National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. The report supports disclosures made in the company's May 14, 2024, news release and is available on the Troilus website and SEDAR+. The Troilus Project is located in northcentral Quebec, Canada, within the Frôtet-Evans Greenstone Belt.

The report titled 'NI 43-101 Feasibility Study: Troilus Gold – Copper Project Québec Canada' has an effective date of May 14, 2024. It confirms the independent review by Qualified Persons from AGP, Lycopodium, Lamont, and WSP, who have verified the accuracy of the FS in their respective sections.

Troilus Gold has announced successful metallurgical results from its pilot plant testing for Zone X22, part of its Troilus Project in Quebec. The tests confirmed high recovery rates with 91.4% for gold, 94.0% for copper, and 87.2% for silver. These results align with previous data from other zones, ensuring consistent and predictable outcomes across the project.

The testing involved two representative samples, each weighing around 1.5 tonnes, and was conducted at Eriez's facility in Pennsylvania and FLSmidth Knelson in Utah. These findings bolster confidence in the projected production rates and support the company's environmentally friendly, cyanide-free process.

Troilus Gold has discovered a new gold zone, the 'West Rim Zone,' near the North Reserve Pit at its Troilus Project in Quebec.

The West Rim Zone showed 1.37 g/t AuEq over 11m within a broader intersection of 0.74 g/t AuEq over 32m starting at just 21m downhole.

Additionally, Zone X22 results extended mineralization to a depth of 550m, with notable intercepts including 10.27 g/t AuEq over 1m and 0.83 g/t AuEq over 30m.

The discovery is part of a 25,000m drilling campaign aimed at expanding and defining select drill targets. The West Rim Zone is an exhalative stratigraphic horizon within felsic to intermediate metavolcanic rocks, demonstrating a gold-bearing VMS system.

CEO Justin Reid highlighted the significance of these results, noting the potential for underground development and further drilling in the coming months.

Troilus Gold Corp. announced the results of its Feasibility Study for the gold-copper Troilus Project in Quebec. The study supports a 22-year open-pit mining operation with a daily throughput of 50,000 tonnes, producing significant amounts of gold, copper, and silver annually. The project has an NPV of $884.5 million and an IRR of 14% based on base case metal prices. Peak annual production is expected in year 7 with 456,100 ounces of gold. Initial capital expenditure is $1.074 million, and operating costs are projected to be low. The project benefits from existing infrastructure, minimizing additional capital requirements and emphasizing sustainable practices.
