Contact Lake: Building on Legacy, Drilling for Scale

Having a legacy to build on is a rare luxury in the exploration space, and it is one that Trident Resources is leveraging in Saskatchewan’s La Ronge Gold Belt.

While much of the sector is focused on early stage discovery, Contact Lake starts from a position of known gold, historical production, and a system that was never fully exhausted.

A Past Producer with Unfinished Work

Contact Lake operated between 1995 and 1998 under Cameco, producing approximately 190,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 6.16 g/t with strong recoveries.

The mine was not shut down due to geological limitations, but rather as a result of declining gold prices, which were around US $300 per ounce at the time. Gold was not a core focus for Cameco, whose primary business is uranium, and as prices weakened, the operation was ultimately deprioritized.

What was left behind is a system that was only partially explored and selectively mined.

Historical operations focused on two primary zones, BK 1 and BK 2. However, mineralization extends beyond these areas. The BK 3 zone, located beneath the lake, as well as deeper extensions below the historical workings, were never fully developed.

Internal work, including a Cameco report, identified unmined stopes and extensions at depth. Gold mineralization has been traced along approximately 850 metres of strike within a broader 1.2 kilometre trend, with visible gold commonly observed throughout the system.

High Grade Continuity Emerging

Results from the 2025 drill program are beginning to demonstrate both grade and continuity.

• CL25003 returned 7.03 g/t gold over 43.25 metres, including 30.06 g/t over 9.25 metres.
• CL25002 returned 2.49 g/t gold over 29.61 metres, including 27.09 g/t over 2.21 metres.
• CL25006 intersected 7.28 g/t gold over 15.0 metres, including 16.69 g/t over 6.0 metres.
• CL25007 outlined a broad mineralized horizon averaging 4.43 g/t gold over 39.5 metres.
• CL25016 returned 2.62 g/t gold over 37.44 metres, including 5.70 g/t over 9.0 metres.
• CL25017 returned 5.73 g/t gold over 15.0 metres, including 9.35 g/t over 7.0 metres.

These are wide intervals with internal high grade zones, pointing to a robust and continuous mineralized system.

Importantly, drilling has confirmed that mineralization extends below the Bakos shear zone and beyond the limits of historical mining. The intercept in hole CL25003 marks a key advancement, confirming expansion below previously understood boundaries.

Winter Drilling and Systematic Expansion

The current winter drill program is designed to take advantage of frozen ground conditions, allowing access to areas beneath Contact Lake that would otherwise be difficult to test.

This includes the BK 3 zone under the lake, as well as continued step outs along strike and at depth. Each hole is designed to test specific targets while contributing to a broader geological model.

From Historic Mine to District Scale Opportunity

What is emerging at Contact Lake is not simply the redevelopment of a past producing mine. It is the early stage of defining a larger, district scale gold system within the La Ronge Gold Belt.

The combination of historical production, identified unmined areas, strong recent drill results, and an active drill program creates a clear path forward. The focus is on expanding the mineralized footprint and translating geological potential into defined ounces.

Looking Ahead

With the winter program well underway, drills are actively turning across the Contact Lake Project, targeting key areas beneath the lake and along strike. As the campaign progresses, assay results are expected to begin flowing into the public domain, providing further insight into the scale and continuity of the system.
