“The Connector Gold and Eakin Creek projects’ locations also allow for an expanded exploration season. I anticipate a steady news flow as the Trailbreaker team investigates the historic showings and intensively explores the property.”

As per historic exploration, the property holds a similar style of gold mineralisation and geologic setting as the Elk deposit. Grab samples at the Connector Gold property showed grading up to 187.5g/t Au and 71.8g/t Ag (silver).

In the early 1960s through to the 1990s, the Connector Gold property was aggressively explored for Cu-Mo deposits, resulting in the discovery of the Brenda deposit, which was subsequently developed into a producing mine.

Trailbreaker owns four 100%-owned gold properties, including Atsutla, Plateau, Skelly and McMurdo, situated in British Columbia and Yukon Territory.
