(“ ” or the “ ”)  is pleased to announce an expansion of its current inaugural drill exploration program at its 100% owned Contact Lake Project, (“ ” or the “ ”) located in Saskatchewan.

Trident is very pleased with the drilling progress as well as the visual indications of mineralization thus far, and has elected to increase the program from 5,000m to over 6,500m in 18-20 drill holes. The Company is fully funded for this increase with over C$11M in its treasury.

Jonathan Wiesblatt, Chief Executive Officer of Trident, commented:

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.

The scientific and technical data contained in this news release was reviewed and approved by Cornell McDowell, P.Geo., a non-independent “Qualified Person” under the National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure of Mineral Projects. Mineralization hosted on nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization that may be hosted on the Property.

Mr. McDowell visited the Property several times in 2025 in advance of the drill program to establish control on historical infrastructure and determine potential drill hole locations. He has discussed and reviewed core logging, sampling and handling procedures with the qualified staff from Terralogic Exploration, who are managing the drill program on behalf of Trident Resources. The 2025 drill program will include a robust QA/QC program and follow provincially mandated health and safety protocols with participation from several local personnel including members of the Lac La Ronge Indian Band.
