TRAILBREAKER RESOURCES LIMITED. (TBK: TSXV) provides an update on its activities as it enters the 2026 exploration season. The company’s primary objective is to perform inaugural drilling on two distinct targets at the 300-square-kilometre Atsutla gold project in northwestern British Columbia (BC). These include a high-grade upland gold vein target and a copper-gold-silver (Cu-Au-Ag) porphyry target.
Following completion of drilling at Atsutla, the company plans to begin drilling at the Coho Cu-Au porphyry target in central British Columbia. All three targets were not previously drilled and have benefited from extensive geological work, bringing them to a drill-ready state.
Daithi McGiralt, CEO of Trailbreaker, commented: “2026 marks a landmark year for Trailbreaker. After careful planning, we are excited to begin inaugural drilling on two priority targets at our flagship Atsutla Gold Project. These targets are hot projects in their own right. The Upland Zone is a high-grade gold target with kilometer-scale mineralization, while the Swan Zone represents a largely untested Cu-Au-Ag porphyry system with significant discovery potential.”
“Later in the summer, Trailbreaker plans to advance drilling at the company’s road-accessible Coho Cu-Au porphyry target, located 30 km west of the Mount Milligan mine. Each of these three targets has the potential to be a major catalyst for the company.
“With the recent completion of $3.5 million in pipeline financing – which was increased due to strong demand – we are well-funded and fully permitted across our core assets. We have also strengthened our technical team with the addition of Charlie Gregg as technical advisor, who has a proven track record of exploration, including involvement in the Saddle North depot in northern British Columbia, which was eventually acquired by Newmont.
“We expect a steady flow of news as we enter an active phase of drilling and continued surface exploration across our very promising project portfolio.”
Trailbreaker’s 100%-owned Atsutla Gold Project is located 70 km south of the Yukon-British Columbia border and 120 km northwest of the village of Dease Lake, British Columbia. The project covers more than 30,000 hectares of land with very limited historical exploration. Trailbreaker plans its inaugural drilling program to target two distinct styles of mineralization, separated by 26 km.
The first target is high-quality gold offerings in the Highlands region. The upland zone covers an area of 2.0 km x 1.5 km in the West Atsutla Gold Project area, with quartz veins containing visible coarse gold that can be assayed up to 630 g/t gold and 1894 g/t gold. Mineralization in the Upland Zone is associated with a much larger system (west of Atsutla), which includes the Christmas Creek and Snook zones. This area has a combined area of 5.0 km x 4.3 km and lies within the Jurassic Christmas Creek batholith. The Trailbreaker team interprets the gold mineralization as being orographic in nature, with multiple gold-, silver- and copper-bearing shear zones related to larger faults occurring in the area. No drilling has ever been conducted in the western Atsutla area.
The Swan Area, located 26 km east of the Upland Area, is a Cu-Au-Ag porphyry target in the younger Cretaceous Glundebery Batholith. Trailbreaker has conducted significant geochemical and geophysical surveys to identify the drill targets, which occur within a 1.5 km x 1.5 km multi-element (Au-Cu-Ag-As)-Molybdenum (Mo)-Antimony (Sb)-Bismuth (Bi)) soil geochemical anomaly. Area-grade rock samples yielded 11.7 g/t Au, 212 g/t Ag, and 0.81% Cu. The geochemical anomaly coincides with a 2.1 km x 1.4 km donut-shaped charge potential high (identified by the 2024 induced polarization survey) as well as a high potassium zone characterized by a low magnetic signature indicated from the 2024 airborne magnetic and radiometric survey. While limited historical drilling has been conducted in the valley adjacent to the Swan Zone, the Swan Zone itself has never been drilled.
Both areas are fully permitted for planned work. The diamond drilling program at a depth of 1,500 to 2,500 meters is expected to begin in late June 2026. Empire Drilling of Smithers, BC, has been contracted to conduct the drilling.
Trailbreaker is currently planning its inaugural drilling program at the 8,000-hectare Coho facility, located 90 km north of Fort St. James, British Columbia, and 30 km west of the Mount Milligan Cu-Au porphyry deposit. The priority target is the Coho Zone, a Cu-Au porphyry zone with recently completed property-wide geochemical and geophysical surveys. The area hosts a recently identified chargeability and resistivity anomaly, associated with high-grade gold and copper values from surface rock grab samples. Although historical excavation has been limited within the Coho property, the actual Coho area has never been excavated.
A diamond drilling program of 1,500 to 2,500 meters in the Coho area will begin in September 2026. All necessary permits have been obtained and Dorado Drilling of Smithers, BC has been contracted to conduct the drilling.
Trailbreaker also plans to conduct a surface exploration program in the western area of the Coho property. This program will follow up on findings released by Pacific Empire Minerals in December 2025 on the Trident property, adjacent to the western boundary of the Coho. Drilling at the Trident property yielded results including 183.0 m2 of 0.77% Cu, 0.51 g/t Au, and 3.4 g/t Ag. The proposed surface exploration program will consist of prospecting, geological mapping and gridded soil geochemical survey. The team will also drill ground drilling sites in the Coho area in preparation for the upcoming drilling program.
The company has an experienced management team with a proven track record as explorers and developers throughout the Yukon Territory, British Columbia, Alaska and Nevada.
