TRU Precious Metals Corp. provided an update on its trenching and channel sampling program at the Mark's Pond high-grade gold target at its Golden Rose Project ("Golden Rose" or the "Project") located in the highly prospective Central Newfoundland Gold Belt. Earlier this year, TRU reported high-grade gold channel sampling results from an initial Mark's Pond trench.

Trenching and channel sampling at Mark's Pond began in mid-May and is expected to continue this month. Two 50-100 metre (m) long trenches have already been finished approximately 100 m to the southwest and 90 m to the northeast of the main Northcott Zone trench completed last fall. In addition, several 25-30 m long trench extensions or test pits have been added to further expand the known strike length of several gold-bearing graphitic shear zones with quartz-carbonate veins including the newly discovered Northcott Gold Zone (Figure 1).

High grade gold mineralization appears to be most prominent at the contact between the Rogerson Lake Conglomerate and mafic volcanic units at this location. Gold panning of soil and till collected within or on the sides of these new trenches has identified a significant amount of pristine, fine-grained gold grains, especially next to newly uncovered shear zones and rock unit contacts. Visible gold has also been observed in bedrock exposed within these new trenches.

Channel samples are being collected at 0.5 to 1 m continuous intervals in each trench (Figure 2) and include QAQC protocols. Assay results for the channel samples are still pending. Terrane Geoscience Inc. recently completed their structural mapping and analysis of the Mark's Pond trenches.

Their structural analysis will be used for drill hole planning and understanding the subsurface nature of these mineralized and highly deformed shear zones at the contact between the Rogerson Lake Conglomerate and mafic volcanics. A new high-resolution drone (UAV) survey was also completed to capture the new trenches and will also be used for detailed mapping and modeling of the channel samples, rock units, and alteration and mineralized zones at surface. The high-resolution ground Magnetic-VLF data over the Mark's Pond target area has been received from GroundTruth Exploration and is currently being compiled into GIS and Leapfrog Geo for 3D geological modeling and interpretation.

Combined, the high-resolution Mag-VLF and drone survey data, structural mapping data, and channel sampling results will provide the Company with a high degree of confidence when developing drill hole targets to intercept these mineralized zones at depth. Once the Mark's Pond trenching and channel sampling program has been completed, the exploration team will commence detailed prospecting and mapping in the Jacob's Pond-Twin Ponds area to identify new copper and gold occurrences for future trenching and drilling in this region of Golden Rose. The Mark's Pond target area is among the Company's claims under option from Quadro Resources Ltd. (the "Optionor") pursuant to an option agreement between the parties.

Under such agreement, the Optionor will retain either a 49% interest or a 35% interest, as the case may be, in such claims depending on the extent, if any, to which TRU exercises its option. Finally, the Company is also reporting that on May 29, 2023, it was issued an additional 1,000,000 special warrants convertible into common shares of Eastern Precious Metals Corp. ("Eastern"), for no additional cost, in accordance with the terms of the Company's option agreement with Eastern.

The Company understands that Eastern continues to advance its stock exchange listing process. The scientific and technical information disclosed in this news release has been prepared and approved by Paul Ténière, M.Sc., P.Geo., Vice President of Exploration for TRU, and a Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101.
