Trailbreaker Resources Ltd. (TBK.V) has provided an update on its 2026 exploration season, outlining plans for inaugural drilling at three priority targets. The company's primary focus is on the Atsutla Gold project in northwestern British Columbia, where it will target the Highlands high-grade gold vein and the Swan copper-gold-silver porphyry target. Following this, drilling will move to the Coho copper-gold porphyry target in central BC. All three targets are drill-ready and have not been previously drilled.
Daithi Mac Gearailt, CEO of Trailbreaker, stated that 2026 is shaping up to be a landmark year. The Highlands zone is described as a high-grade gold target with kilometric-scale mineralization, while the Swan zone represents a largely untested porphyry system with significant discovery potential. The company is well-funded following the completion of a $3.5 million flow-through financing, which was upsized due to strong demand. Trailbreaker has also added Charlie Greig as Technical Advisor, who brings a proven discovery track record, including involvement in the Saddle North deposit.
The Atsutla Gold project, 100% owned by Trailbreaker, covers over 30,000 hectares with limited historic exploration. The Highlands zone features quartz veins with visible gold, assaying up to 630 g/t Au and 1,894 g/t Ag, within a broader 5.0 km x 4.3 km area. No drilling has ever been conducted in the Atsutla West area. The Swan zone, located 26 km east, is a copper-gold-silver porphyry target with a 1.5 km x 1.5 km multi-element soil anomaly coincident with geophysical signatures. Rock grab samples have graded up to 11.7 g/t Au, 212 g/t Ag, and 0.81% Cu. Both zones are fully permitted for a 1,500 to 2,500 m diamond drill program expected to commence in late June 2026, contracted to Empire Drilling.
At the Coho property, a 1,500 to 2,500 m drill program is planned for September 2026 on the Coho zone, a copper-gold porphyry target with a coincident chargeability and resistivity anomaly. All necessary permits have been acquired, and Dorado Drilling has been contracted. Additionally, Trailbreaker will conduct surface exploration in the western area of the property, following up on results from Pacific Empire Minerals' Trident property, which returned 183.0 m of 0.77% Cu, 0.51 g/t Au, and 3.4 g/t Ag.
The company anticipates consistent news flow as it enters an active phase of drilling and surface exploration across its portfolio. Carl Schulze, P. Geo., Consulting Geologist with Aurora Geosciences Ltd, has reviewed and approved the technical information in this release.
