TRU PRECIOUS METALS' 2026 FIELD WORKS PROGRAM GETS UNDERWAY AT GOLDEN ROSE

The 2026 fieldwork program has commenced at Tru Precious Metals Corp.'s Golden Rose project, strategically located along the gold-deposit-bearing Cape Ray-Valentine Lake shear zones in central Newfoundland and neighbouring Equinox Gold Corp.'s Valentine mine.

Building on the successful 2025 field program at Golden Rose, the results of which can be found in the company's news release dated March 5, 2026, an efficient, staged and targeted follow-up program has been designed for the 2026 field season. This program will initially see the Tru team in the field gathering detailed and targeted information along the stepout strike extensions to the newly identified mineralized trend discovered in 2025, at the Falls zone, within the Jacob's-to-Rose gold corridor, as well as at the other priority target areas identified in 2025. Field traversing followed by a targeted trenching program will provide support for drilling, which will commence in the second half of the season.

Tru chief executive officer Steve Nicol commented: "A later end to the snowmelt resulted in a minor delay to the start of the 2026 field season; however, the Tru team is now in the field with an aggressive works schedule and program aimed at catching up from the earlier delay. The company's focus is to efficiently discover the full gold and copper potential across the entire Golden Rose property, aiming to identify multiple mineralized zones leading to economic scale. The 2026 field program remains true to that focus in that it will examine prospectivity across several different areas rather than focusing only upon already-identified mineralized occurrences. I look forward to updating investors as initial results of this year's program become available."
