Ontario - Troilus Gold Corp. ('Troilus' or the 'Company', TSX: TLG; OTCQX: CHXMF) provides an overview of the extensive regional exploration activities completed in the second half of 2021 at its Troilus gold-copper project located in northcentral Quebec, Canada.

Exploration work focused on several prospective targets inherited from the acquisition of UrbanGold Minerals earlier in the year. The Company also reports the completion of a 1,200 metre scout drilling program at Testard, a prospective target located approximately 10 kilometres south of the main mineral corridor and former mine site, where previously reported grab samples returned up to 203 g/t gold (6.53oz/t), 2,440 g/t silver (78.45 oz/t) and 4.37% copper from outcrop. Troilus looks forward to reporting results as they become available.

Last year's acquisition of UrbanGold Minerals solidified Troilus' status as the largest mineral claims holder in the region, expanding its property 33% to 142,000 hectares (1,420 km-2) in the Frotet-Evans Greenstone Belt. The Company inherited several highly prospective targets, many of which neighboured its own discoveries; the Bullseye Freegold and Cressida targets (located on claims which are under a 50/50 joint venture with Argonaut Gold) Inc., known as the 'Bullseye Property') are located within 1 and 2 kilometres from the 100%-owned Testard and Beyan targets, respectively, while its 100%-owned Pallador-Regnault target is located within 1 kilometre from SMMCL/KLD's Regnault discovery. In the Summer of 2021, following a detailed review of the new data obtained after this transaction, Troilus's geology team initiated an extensive field exploration program focusing prospection on three main targets: Cressida/Beyan, Tortigny and Freegold-Bullseye.

About Troilus Gold Corp.

Troilus Gold Corp. is a Canadian-based junior mining company focused on the systematic advancement and de-risking of the former gold and copper Troilus Mine towards production. From 1996 to 2010, the Troilus Mine produced +2 million ounces of gold and nearly 70,000 tonnes of copper. Troilus is located in the top-rated mining jurisdiction of Quebec, Canada, where is holds a strategic land position of 1,420 km-2 in the Frotet-Evans Greenstone Belt. Since acquiring the project in 2017, ongoing exploration success has demonstrated the tremendous scale potential of the gold system on the property with significant mineral resource growth. The Company is advancing engineering studies following the completion of a robust PEA in 2020, which demonstrated the potential for the Troilus project to become a top-ranked gold and copper producing asset in Canada. Led by an experienced team with a track-record of successful mine development, Troilus is positioned to become a cornerstone project in North America.
