Trident Resources Expands Inaugural Drill Program at Contact Lake Gold Project, Saskatchewan
Trident Resources (OTCQB: TRDTF) has announced a significant expansion of its inaugural drill program at the Contact Lake Gold Project in Saskatchewan. The company is increasing the program from 5,000m to over 6,500m in 18-20 drill holes, fully funded by its C$11M treasury.
The expanded drilling program aims to confirm historical gold grades and discover new mineralized zones near historical underground mine workings. Early visual indications of mineralization and cost-effective execution have prompted the expansion. The additional drilling will focus on expanding the deposit footprint, following up on historical high-grade gold intersections, and exploring mineralization extensions.
The company has also clarified details about its marketing agreements with Resource Stock Digest, involving a USD$125,000 total upfront payment for two distinct investor relations programs.

Vancouver, BC, Sept. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trident Resources Corp. (TSX-V: ROCK) (OTCQB: TRDTF) (“Trident” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce an expansion of its current inaugural drill exploration program at its

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 ~1,500m drilling (~
30% ) increase to the current 5,000m program for a total over 6,500m in 18-20 drill holes planned - The program remains fully funded 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 ~1,500 metres of drilling, bringing the total initial diamond drilling program to ~6,500 meters. The additional metres will be focused on the following:
- 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, 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 hanging wall 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 3-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.
