THINGS TO KNOW 10.07.2025

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / July 10, 2025 / TRU Precious Metals Corp. (TSXV:TRU)(FSE:706) ("TRU" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has formally exercised the Initial Option to acquire a 51% interest in the Staghorn Property pursuant to an option agreement between TRU and Quadro Resources Ltd. ("Quadro") dated June 15, 2022 as subsequently amended (the "Option Agreement"). The Company satisfied all of the requirements set forth in the Option Agreement for the Initial Option, including the completion of a minimum expenditure drill program. (see News Release June 16, 2022 and August 18, 2022). The Staghorn licenses represent approximately 11% of the total Golden Rose Project ("Golden Rose") licenses area strategically located along the gold deposit bearing Cape Ray - Valentine Lake Shear Zones in Central Newfoundland.

Text size:

Pursuant to Section 3.3 of the Option Agreement, upon exercising the Initial Option, TRU has a 30-day period during which it can provide written notice of its intention to exercise the Additional Option which would enable TRU to acquire an additional 14% interest in the Staghorn Property. The exercise of the Additional Option would require the Company to pay $200,000 cash and incur $850,000 of exploration expenditures, including $510,000 of drilling activity on the Staghorn Property, within two years of exercising the Initial Option.

The Company also announces that it has completed a 1,988 metre diamond drill program at its Golden Rose Golden Rose Project ("Golden Rose"). The 2025 drilling program was focused upon a portion of the Mark's Pond to Rich House "exploration fairway" (see News Release dated April 03, 2025) which was selected based upon its interpreted prospectivity, and to comply with the minimum expenditure drilling commitments, as a portion of the Staghorn Property is located within the exploration fairway. (see Figure 1)

Assay results from the drill program are still pending and will be reported upon when received.

In the meantime, the Company's field crew will be following up with a focussed mapping and ground truthing program aimed at further refining the geological and structural site-wide model and expanding the pipeline of quality drill targets beyond the initial area of drilling focus.
