Trifecta Gold Introduces the Liam and Lois Projects, East-Central Yukon and Grants Stock Options
Rhea-AI Summary
Trifecta Gold (OTCQB:TRRFF) introduced its Liam and Lois exploration projects in east-central Yukon, where it is earning a 100% interest from Strategic Metals. Both targets overlie mid-Cretaceous plutons in the Tombstone Gold Belt and exhibit Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold System (RIRGS) characteristics similar to notable Yukon and Alaska deposits.
Recent steps include approval of a Quartz Class 1 Notification allowing a wide range of exploration work, including diamond drilling, and a Yukon Mineral Exploration Program grant for Lois covering 50% of eligible costs up to $34,180. Liam hosts multi-element soil anomalies with peak gold-in-soil of 574 ppb, while Lois features two anomalies with peak values of 873 ppb and skarn samples up to 1.57 g/t gold over 4.5 m. Trifecta also granted 1,560,000 stock options at $0.20 per share, exercisable for five years, vesting quarterly.
Positive
- YMEP grant covers 50% of eligible Lois costs up to $34,180
- Quartz Class 1 Notification permits broad exploration, including diamond drilling at Liam and Lois
- Liam soil anomaly peak gold-in-soil of 574 ppb over ~2 km strike
- Lois chip sample 1.57 g/t gold over 4.5 m in calc-silicate skarn
- Lois soil anomaly peak gold-in-soil of 873 ppb with associated skarn mineralization
Negative
- Stock options for up to 1,560,000 shares at $0.20 may create future dilution

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / July 28, 2026 / Trifecta Gold Ltd. (TSX-V:TG)(OTCQB:TRRFF) ("Trifecta" or the "Company") is pleased to introduce its Liam and Lois projects, two of eleven Tombstone Gold Belt targets where the Company is earning a
Recent developments surrounding the Liam and Lois projects include:
Approval of a Quartz Class 1 Notification from the Yukon Government. This permit allows for a wide range of exploration techniques at Liam and Lois, including diamond drilling.
Award of a Yukon Mineral Exploration Program ("YMEP") grant for the Lois project, supporting mineral exploration activities for
50% of eligible expenditures, to a maximum of$34,180 .Both properties directly cover mid-Cretaceous plutons, which are the primary mineralizers of gold in the region.
Liam and Lois share geological characteristics with the ML Project, a high-grade, gold-copper skarn system in north-central Yukon.
The two projects are located within the hanging wall of the Robert Service Thrust Fault, a major, northerly-verging thrust fault that extends from north-central Yukon approximately 400 km into east-central Yukon. Significant gold deposits and occurrences in north-central Yukon are spatially associated with the fault. Banyan Gold Corp.'s AurMac Deposit straddles the fault, while the past-producing Eagle Gold Mine, Sitka Gold Corp.'s RC Gold Project, and the ML Project are hosted principally in Hyland Group metasedimentary rock within the hanging wall thrust sheet.
Liam and Lois share the same structural and stratigraphic setting as the aforementioned deposits. Both projects are underlain by Hyland Group and Gull Lake Formation metasedimentary rock and cover mid-Cretaceous Mayo Suite intrusions. These intrusions are the source of gold-bearing hydrothermal fluids that deposit gold in networks of sheeted quartz veins within and surrounding the plutons, commonly with contact skarn mineralization. The gold is accompanied by the characteristic pathfinder elements of arsenic, bismuth and tungsten, which create detectable geochemical signatures at surface and are a hallmark of RIRGS gold occurrences across Yukon and Alaska. Both projects are described in further detail below.
Liam
The Liam project covers large, multi-element soil anomalies delineated into three southeast-trending precious metal-enriched zones - the North, Central and South Trends - defined by coincident, strongly elevated gold, copper and silver geochemistry, as well as elevated responses for pathfinder elements including arsenic, bismuth, tellurium, tin and antimony (Figure 2). The Central Trend is the most significant, hosting peak gold-in-soil values of 574 ppb over a strike length of approximately 2 km, which remains open in both directions. Mineralization exposed at surface includes the Neeson Showing, where arsenopyrite-bearing quartz veins and skarn in metasedimentary rocks returned 2.12 g/t gold, 174 g/t silver,
Lois
The Lois project covers two soil geochemical anomalies - Anomaly A and Anomaly B - defined by strongly elevated and coincident gold, copper, bismuth, arsenic and antimony in soil, with peak gold-in-soil values of 873 ppb (Figure 3). Prospecting in 2016 identified a 15 m thick calc-silicate horizon spanning approximately 180 m of strike, along with subcrop of massive pyrrhotite skarn and mineralized skarn float. Rock sampling of the skarn returned values of up to 1.1 g/t gold,

Tombstone Gold Belt
Extending more than 1000 km from the Fairbanks district in Alaska eastward across the entire width of Yukon, the Tombstone Gold Belt hosts many large Reduced Intrusion-Related Gold System (RIRGS) mines such as Fort Knox in Alaska (>10 million oz), Eagle and Olive in Yukon (>4 million oz) and the past-producing Brewery Creek Mine, also in Yukon. Since May 2020 over 20 million additional ounces of gold have been discovered in the Yukon portion of the belt, including Snowline Gold's Tier 1 Valley discovery, Sitka Gold's RC deposit, Banyan Gold's AurMac deposits and Victoria Gold's Raven deposit.
Tombstone Gold Belt systems are characterized by sheeted, auriferous quartz veins forming in the carapace zones of Cretaceous-age plutons. They have a characteristic geochemical signature with a gold-bismuth-tellurium±tungsten core within a broader gold-arsenic halo. The deposits are found within and surrounding the reduced intrusions and typically exhibit a geophysical signature comprising a magnetic low (ie. reduced) coinciding with a conductivity low. Veining in RIRGS is typically zoned with a core of sheeted veins surrounded by more discrete gold-arsenic veins and more distal silver-lead-zinc veins.
