TROILUS MINE SITE Drilling Results This year Troilus undertook a 7 800 metre drilling program designed to define and expand on high grade results obtained in 2022 from the newly discovered Zone X22 X22 located at the southwestern border of the formerly mined Z87 pit The results obtained have continued to demonstrate strong continuity of mineralization at high grades in addition to having extended mineralization over a 1 kilometre strike length The grades and widths of these holes from X22 have the potential to significantly impact the Z87 pit design constraints and ore release early in the mine life As a result of this rapidly evolving zone and its impact on the project it is now the Company s intention that all X22 drilling results will be included in the upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate and Feasibility Study in order to deliver the most accurate representation of the project Field Exploration Program As part of the 2021 and 2022 summer regional exploration programs Troilus conducted 6 500 metres of drilling at its regional target Cressida located 10 km to the southwest of the main mineral resource along strike to follow up on historical drilling and to define and expand the known body of mineralization Drilling intersected high grades over significant widths including 10 78 g t Gold Over 7m the best result at Cressida in terms of linear grade and significantly increased the continuity of mineralization more than 3fold from 400 metres to 1 3 kilometres and remains open to further expansion both to the northeast and southwest as well as at depth These results attest to our belief that the main mineral deposits are not isolated but part of a district scale gold system Further drilling is planned to continue defining and expanding this zone and will be incorporated as the company prepares for the Summer regional exploration program COMMUNITY Permitting Update The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada and the Cree Nation Government conducted public consultation meetings last month in the communities of Chibougamau Chapais and Mistissini an essential step in progressing the Impact Assessment of the project The public was invited to review
