Investee Company Update: TRU Precious Metals

 

TRU Provides Update on Flagship Golden Rose Project

 

Ormonde Mining plc (AQSE: ORM), the natural resources company with investment exposure to outstanding gold and battery metal exploration assets in Newfoundland and Scotland, notes an announcement on 22 October 2024 by its 36.3%-owned investee company, TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV: TRU, OTCQB: TRUIF) ("TRU"), which is exploring for gold and copper in the highly prospective Central Newfoundland Gold Belt in Canada.

 

TRU has announced that as a result of the financial backing of Eldorado Gold Corporation ("Eldorado") which was granted an exclusive option to earn an 80% ownership interest in Golden Rose in August 2024, TRU has been afforded the ability to undertake a detailed review of the potential at Golden Rose. As such, TRU has commenced a project wide analysis to understand and update the discovery potential at Golden Rose, with existing project data being reassessed and verified, before being infilled and updated as required. The work is being initially focused on the north-east "exploration fairway" between the Mark's Pond zone and the Rich House zone. Initial targeting in this area is expected to be completed by early 2025 with drilling planned to commence immediately thereafter.  

 

Brendan McMorrow, Chief Executive Officer of Ormonde, commented:

 

"The financial backing of Eldorado has enabled the TRU team to adopt a more strategic approach and optimise the discovery process at Golden Rose. An updated model of mineralisation across the entire property will support TRU in unlocking the value of Golden Rose in a targeted and cost-effective manner."

 

The full announcement issued by TRU appears below:

 

 

TRU Appoints Provides Update on Flagship Golden Rose Project

Toronto, Ontario - October 22, 2024 - TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU, OTCQB:TRUIF, FSE:706) ("TRU" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its flagship Golden Rose Project ("Golden Rose"). In August 2024, the Company completed the granting of an exclusive option (the "Option") to Eldorado Gold Corporation ("Eldorado") to earn an 80% ownership interest in Golden Rose, strategically located along the gold deposit-bearing Cape Ray - Valentine Lake Shear Zone in Central Newfoundland (see news releases dated July 30, 2024 and August 22, 2024).

The financial backing of Eldorado, via the Option, is affording TRU the ability to undertake a detailed review of the potential of Golden Rose. The claims that comprise Golden Rose were consolidated over several years, and TRU is now conducting a project wide exercise to understand and update the discovery potential for gold and other minerals across the 300 sq. km project area. The review will methodically apply geoscience and exploration practices across the entire property package.

TRU CEO Steve Nicol commented: "TRU is shifting to a "big picture" perspective of Golden Rose viewing the complete consolidated land parcels and claims as one entity to facilitate the development of an updated model of mineralization potential for the entire property, aimed at optimising the discovery process. TRU is focused on efficiently discovering the full gold and copper potential that may exist at Golden Rose."

The objective of the initial step in this methodical process, designed in conjunction with Eldorado, is to extract the maximum information and knowledge from existing project data which will be reassessed and verified, then infilled and updated or improved where required. This work, which has already commenced, includes infill and geochemical sampling, reinterpretation of magnetic survey data, prospecting, re-mapping, and re-examination of drill core.

The wealth of information generated from this process will feed into preparation of a revised and refined geological and structural site-wide model, which will be utilized to generate a pipeline of quality drill targets across the property for prioritization and drilling.

While it is expected that this rigorous and methodical assessment will result in the identification of multiple targets across the property, it is initially being focused on the northeast-trending 'exploration fairway' between the Mark's Pond zone and the Rich House zone (7.5km long x up to 2kms wide; Figure 1). Initial targeting in this area is expected to be completed by early 2025 with drilling planned to commence immediately thereafter.

In parallel, and as previously announced, (see news release July 16, 2024), the Company has been running a copper and critical minerals focused exploration program across Golden Rose. Results from this program will be reported when work is complete, and all assay results have been received.

The scientific and technical information disclosed in this news release has been prepared and approved by Joel Cranford, P.Geo., Project Geologist for TRU, and a Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101.
