Trailbreaker Commences Drilling at the Liberty Copper Property, BC.
23 April 2024 - 9:45PM
Trailbreaker Resources Ltd. (TBK.V)
(“Trailbreaker” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it
has commenced its 2024 drill program focussing on the
copper-molybdenum (Cu-Mo) porphyry target at its 100% owned Liberty
property in central British Columbia (BC). The program comprises up
to 2,000 m of diamond drilling, testing a Cu-Mo ± gold (Au) ±
silver (Ag) geochemical soil anomaly1 coincident with an induced
polarization (IP) chargeability and resistivity anomaly.
A historic drillhole by Rio Tinto returned an
interval of 123.1 m grading 0.11% Cu and 0.04% MoS21 from surface
to end of hole. This hole was located 300 m directly south of the
geophysical and geochemical targets now being tested. The historic
drill hole is interpreted by the company as collared at the margin
of a mineralized porphyry body. Reprocessing and 3D inversion
imaging of the historic IP data were completed earlier this year
and is being utilized in the drill targeting process.
Message from the President“We
are excited to start the season with the first drill program at
Liberty since the 1960s. Historic drill results from the only
drillhole to test the porphyry target provide a great anchor to our
exploration thesis and prove we are in a mineralized system. The
new geophysical and geochemical interpretations of the Cu-Mo system
have helped create strong drill targets and we look forward to
updating our shareholders as soon as we interpret the results.”

Liberty Property DescriptionThe
5,054-hectare Liberty Property is located approximately 60 km
northwest of Quesnel, BC. The property is fully accessible by
resource roads.
The primary target of the Liberty project is a
northwest-trending Cu-Mo ± Au ± Ag Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) soil
anomaly1. This overlaps an IP chargeability1 feature on the margin
of the granitic intrusion. A historic drill hole to the south of
this coincident anomaly returned an interval of 123.1 m of 0.11% Cu
and 0.04% MoS21. For more information on this target see our news
release dated January 22, 2024 and the Liberty Project webpage.
In addition to the Cu-Mo porphyry target and the
Cu-skarn target, which returned assay values of >8.0% Cu from
historic trenching2, the expanded property also covers an
epithermal gold target, where epithermal vein textures have been
observed in a road cut2. Nearby soil and test pit samples returned
anomalous grades of gold (Au) and arsenic (As)2. These may
represent a lower-temperature epithermal portion of the
hydrothermal system.
