TRU Opens Up New Copper-Gold-Silver Discovery at Golden Rose
Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – September 22, 2022) – TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV: TRU) (OTCQB: TRUIF) (FSE: 706) (“TRU” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results from a new drill discovery at its flagship Golden Rose Project in Central Newfoundland (“Golden Rose”). The 13-hole, 2,147.4 metre (“m”) drilling program focused on the Jacob’s Pond area, principally the Jacob’s Twin showing, one of the five grids property-wide where the Company recently completed an extensive IP Survey.
Highlights
-
Drill intersection of multiple copper-gold-silver zones in altered conglomerate (table 1).
-
Last hole to intersect the discovery, JP-22-13, returned high-grade copper and silver.
-
Discovery remains open for expansion in multiple directions.
-
2022 soil sampling has defined a secondary promising target between 750m to 1.2 kilometres (“km”) southwest from the new discovery area.
Barry Greene, VP of Property Development and Director of TRU, commented: “It is always rewarding to drill under a newly discovered copper-gold bearing quartz-carbonate vein system and to upgrade it in drill core at depth. Our discovery hole, JP-22-10, and step-out hole, JP-22-13, confirms that we are in the early stage of defining an exciting new prospect with significant expansion potential. Additional step-out drilling will be required to start delineating shape, orientation and ultimately continuity of this new discovery.”
The Jacob’s Twin copper (“Cu”) -gold (“Au”) -silver (“Ag”) discovery contains multiple intervals of quartz-carbonate-sulphide veining (figures 1& 2).
The veining in hole JP-22-10 was discovered while drilling directly under a creek where a series of copper-gold bearing outcrops (see press release dated August 4, 2022) were found during 2022 summer exploration, with samples grading 1.10% to 4.19% Cu and 2.76 grams per tonne (g/t) Au. An upper mineralized zone in hole JP-22-10 from 129m to 142.3m was followed by a lower 22.6m zone from 178.4m to 201m down hole depth, containing quartz-carbonate veining and copper mineralization, the lower 3.0m interval of which assayed 1.03% Cu, 0.71g/t Au, and 24.95g/t Ag from 193.45m to 196.45m. Jacob’s Twin correlates with a high chargeability Alpha IP anomaly near the sheared contact with a flow banded rhyolite.
Follow-up drilling, in final hole JP-22-13, approximately 15m down dip of hole JP-22-10, also intersected a mineralized vein system between 187.5m-199.5m down hole depth (figure 2). The highlight of this zone assayed 1.10% Cu, 0.87 g/t Au, and 46.60 g/t Ag over 2.8m from 197 to 199.8m, including 1.14m at 2.19% Cu, 1.39g/t Au, and 108.3 g/t Ag from 198.66m to 199.8m.
TRU Co-Founder and CEO Joel Freudman added: “Drilling at Golden Rose continues to uncover the immense potential of this property, and we are barely scratching the surface. I am especially pleased with our intersect of high-grade copper, which is a critical mineral input in electric vehicles and a wide range of other ‘clean energy’ and industrial uses. With less than 7,000 metres drilled to date by TRU at Golden Rose, across two modest drill programs, we are already unveiling what we believe to be a polymetallic zone, in addition to the known gold zone elsewhere on the property. I want to acknowledge the efforts of our exploration executives, Barry Greene and Pearce Bradley, in securing the Jacob’s Pond area for TRU last year and advancing it to this new discovery zone. This is another step toward establishing that Golden Rose is geologically prospective and hosts multiple commodities, on a massive property package that has seen little to no exploration.”
Mr. Freudman continued: “Additionally, and of great significance to TRU, we are also excited that our neighbour Marathon Gold has publicly disclosed its intention to commence mine construction at the Valentine Gold Project in early 2023, becoming an operating mine producing gold by early 2025. We expect this will attract renewed interest to the Valentine Lake Shear Zone, as TRU continues to build a turnkey polymetallic project with a robust pipeline of drilling and exploration potential.”
The Company continues to await final assay results for some holes peripheral to the primary mineralized zones, which are not expected to return significant values of mineralization.
A second promising drill target is shaping up along the same structural trend approximately 750m to 1.2km to the southwest of the Jacob’s Twin target area (figure 1). This new target contains many highly anomalous Au and Cu soil anomalies in a tightly clustered grouping and along the same trend of anomalous IP chargeability. This area shows the potential for expansion of the mineralized system along a regional trend.

As we close out 2024, the fintech industry continues to deliver headlines that underscore its dynamism and innovation. From IPO aspirations to groundbreaking regulatory milestones, today’s updates highlight the transformative power of fintech partnerships, regulatory evolution, and disruptive technologies. Here’s what you need to know.
Chime’s Quiet Step Toward Public Markets
Chime, the U.S.-based financial technology startup best known for its digital banking services, has taken a significant step by filing confidential paperwork for an initial public offering (IPO). As one of the most valuable private fintechs in the U.S., Chime’s move could potentially signal a renewed appetite for fintech IPOs in a market that has been cautious following fluctuating valuations across the tech sector.
With a valuation that reportedly exceeded $25 billion in its last funding round, Chime’s IPO could set a new benchmark for the industry. Observers note that its strong customer base and revenue growth may make it an appealing choice for investors seeking to capitalize on the digital banking boom. However, the timing and success of the IPO will depend on broader market conditions and the regulatory landscape.

ZBD’s Pioneering Achievement: EU MiCA License Approval
ZBD, a fintech company specializing in Bitcoin Lightning network solutions, has made history by becoming the first to secure an EU MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) license. This landmark approval by the Dutch regulator positions ZBD at the forefront of compliant crypto-fintech operations in Europe.
MiCA, which aims to harmonize the regulatory framework for crypto-assets across the EU, has been a focal point for industry players aiming to establish legitimacy and expand their offerings. ZBD’s achievement not only validates its operational rigor but also sets a precedent for other fintech firms navigating the evolving regulatory landscape.
Industry insiders view this as a strategic advantage for ZBD as it broadens its footprint in Europe. By leveraging its regulatory approval, the company can accelerate its product deployment and establish trust with institutional and retail users alike.
