Trailbreaker Resources Ltd. announced that it has consolidated the Castle Rock property on northern Vancouver Island, British Columbia (BC). The property was initially acquired through claim staking, then expanded through a partnership with Cazador Resources Ltd. ("Cazador") in January, 2023. Trailbreaker has now signed an agreement with Cazador which provides Trailbreaker with the option to own 100% of the 3,108-hectre (ha) Castle Rock property.

Highlights of the Castle Rock property: Covers 3,108 hectares of land on northern Vancouver Island, approximately 70 km northwest of Campbell River, BC; Claims cover 5 Minfile occurrences on a district-scale structure that is >5 km-long, and newly identified gold +- copper-enriched intrusions; Relatively new discovery, in an area that hosts copper-gold (Cu-Au) porphyry and skarn deposits. Northern Vancouver Island is host to several large Cu-Au porphyry deposits including Northisle's Hushamu deposit (Inferred Resource of 5.57 Moz AuEq), and BHP Billiton's past producing Island Copper porphyry copper deposit (produced >2.7 B lb Cu and >1.0 Moz Au); Newly accessible via recent logging activity. Historic chip sample returned assays of 2.0 g/t Au over 30 metres2 at the Heart zone, which is a brecciated zone containing 5 to 10% pyrite-chalcopyrite.

Historic sampling returned assays up to 135 g/t Au from boulders, 1.5 km west of the Heart zone; Gold is hosted in Jurassic granodiorite dykes which have been emplaced along a regional-scale fault zone separate Lower to Middle Triassic Daonella Bed sedimentary rocks from Upper Triassic Karmutsen Formation basalts. In September, 2022, Trailbreaker completed a 3-day first-pass evaluation program on the Castle Rock claims. The program successfully confirmed historic gold grades, with 2022 channel sample returning values up to 0.68 g/t Au over 13.11 m, including a subinterval of 1.85 g/t Au over 2.92 m. A soil geochemical survey outlined a 50 m x 400 m, northwest-southeast trending gold-in-soil anomaly interpreted to represent the surface footprint of the gold-bearing dyke exposed at the Heart zone. Soil values up to 5.44 g/t Au were returned, and the anomaly remains open.

The showing consists of numerous high-grade boulders assaying up to 135 g/t gold mineralization than identified thus far. The geochemical survey, combined with prospecting and geological mapping, is intended to lead to drill target generation at the Heart zone, and may result in further discoveries within the 3,108-ha property.
