Troilus drills 1.15 g/t AuEQ over 37 m at Connector Zone

*1.15 g/t AuEQ (0.91 g/t Au, 3.23 g/t Ag, 0.13 % Cu), Including 3.84 g/t AuEQ (3.21 g/t Au, 9.76 g/t Ag, 0.34 % Cu) Over 5 m MONTREAL, June 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Troilus Mining Corp. (“Troilus” or the “Company”, TSX: TLG; OTCQX: CHXMF; FSE: CM5) is pleased to announce results from the Connector Zone (“Connector”) as part of its ongoing 2026 Exploration Program ( see March 31, 2026 press release ) at its Troilus Project located in north-central Quebec, Canada. The now completed Connector drill program was designed to support mine plan optimization by targeting inferred mineralization within the reserve pit areas and testing up-plunge extensions of previously identified high-grade trends between the formerly mined Z87 and J open pits. The latest results continue to demonstrate the presence of higher-grade mineralization within the Connector area and support the Company’s objective of evaluating opportunities to improve future mine planning, including potential resource conversion, pit sequencing, strip ratio optimization and early-year mill feed.
