Trailbreaker Resources Ltd. (TBK.V)
(“Trailbreaker” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce results
from the 2021 exploration program at their 100%-owned Skelly
property in northern British Columbia (BC).
A chip sample across a historic showing
re-identified by Trailbreaker in 2020 has returned an assay of 25.4
g/t gold (Au) and 882 g/t silver (Ag) over 1.5m. Further
prospecting 200 meters to the west of the historic showings has
identified a new gold zone, with outcrop grab samples assaying up
to 3.43 g/t Au and 78.3 g/t Ag. Soil sample results indicate the
zone extends at least another 250m farther west and remains open
(see attached map – Skelly Property Exploration Highlights).
Daithi Mac Gearailt, CEO of Trailbreaker,
commented: “The chip sample results confirm the high-grade nature
of the historic showing that the team re-identified last year. It
is also very encouraging that new mineralization has been found in
the area and the soil samples show there is potential for more to
be discovered.”
About Skelly
Covering 2,526 hectares, the Skelly property is
located just south of the Yukon-BC border, approximately 100 km
south of Whitehorse, Yukon.
The property is contiguous to Bessor Minerals’
8,178-hectare Golden Eagle property that contains significant
drilled gold prospects comprising high-grade, gold-bearing
quartz-sulphide veins. Although exploration on the Skelly property
dates back to the 1890s, old shafts provide the only evidence of
past work. Before 2020, no modern exploration has been documented
on the majority of the Skelly property.
In the summer of 2020, Trailbreaker conducted a
short, 3-day first pass reconnaissance exploration program that
re-identified historic shafts. Grab samples obtained from quartz
veins within these assayed up to 1.03 oz/ton gold and 14.24
oz/ton silver (see October 5th, 2020 news release for
more information). The auriferous quartz veins were sampled over a
180-meter northwest-trending shear zone, open along strike and
paralleling a contact with granitic rocks.
2021 Exploration
A brief, two-day exploration program was
conducted at the Skelly property in 2021 to follow-up on 2020 assay
results, and to explore a portion of newly staked ground. The team
collected 111 soil samples, 28 prospecting rock grab samples, and
one rock chip sample.
The chip sample was conducted across the
previously identified historic showing and returned an assay of
25.4 g/t Au and 882 g/t Ag over 1.5m. A grab sample located 3
meters from the chip sample also yielded high gold and silver
grades, assaying 22.4 g/t Au and 1,147 g/t Ag. Mineralization
related to this historic showing has been traced along strike for
180 meters to the northwest. It is interpreted to be related to a
shear zone at the contact between late Cretaceous granite to the
southwest, and older, late Paleozoic metamorphic rocks to the
northeast.
Newly identified mineralization was discovered
200m west-southwest of the historic showings in a deeply incised
creek canyon which also cuts through the high-grade shear which
hosts the historic showings. Multiple ‘stacked’
quartz-pyrite-arsenopyrite veins were identified. These veins are
typically shallow dipping to flat lying, and 20-30cm in width.
Assays returned grades as high as 3.43 g/t Au and 78.3 g/t Ag with
anomalous molybdenum (Mo), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), arsenic (As),
antimony (Sb), bismuth (Bi), and tellurium (Te).
Soil sample results indicate that the gold
mineralization discovered in this zone likely extends westward
along the creek for a minimum of 250m and remains open. A series of
four soil samples over 150m assayed anomalous gold values ranging
from 24.1 ppb Au to 65.6 ppb Au.
Prospecting 1.5 km northwest of the high-grade
gold zone has also uncovered a zone of gossanous shears in
metamorphic rock close to the granite contact. One rock grab sample
of local pyritic float returned an assay of 0.21 g/t Au.
A significant portion of the 2,526-hectare
property remains un-explored.
Message from the President
“In two short days of exploration the
Trailbreaker team has managed to both expand the mineralized zone
and yield new targets for future exploration. There is a lot of
blue sky at the Skelly property and I am excited to see what we’ll
find next.”

OTHER
Sample analysis and assaying for all of
Trailbreaker’s projects have been conducted by Bureau Veritas
Mineral Laboratories Canada in Vancouver, BC, which is an ISO-9001
accredited laboratory. Rock samples were crushed, split and
pulverized to a 250 g pulp passing through a 200 mesh screen (prep
code PRP70-250). For gold analysis, a 50 g split underwent fire
assay with an ICP-ES finish (FA350-Au). Samples assaying >10 ppm
Au were re-analyzed with a gravimetric finish (FA550-Au). Samples
also underwent 37-element analysis involving aqua regia digestion
and ICP-ES/MS analysis (AQ200). Soil samples were sieved to 80 mesh
(prep code SS80) and underwent a 37-element analysis involving aqua
regia digestion and ICP-ES/MS analysis (AQ201).
Rigorous quality assurance procedures are in
place regarding sample collection, chain of custody and data entry.
Certified QA/QC standard and blank reference samples are routinely
inserted into the sample stream to ensure integrity of the assay
process. The reader is cautioned that grab samples are single rock
samples typically, but not exclusively, constrained to
mineralization. Grab samples are selective in nature and collected
to determine the presence or absence of metal values. These do not
necessarily provide an accurate representation of the tenor of the
targeted zone sampled.
