(TBK.V) (“Trailbreaker” or“the Company”) is pleased to announce the receipt of aproperty-wide exploration permit for its 8,000-hectare Coho property,located in central British Columbia (BC), Canada. The Coho property isa drill-ready copper-gold (Cu-Au) porphyry target situated 30 km westof the Mount Milligan mine.A 5-year Multi-Year Area-Based (MYAB) Mines Act permithas been approved by the BC Ministry of Mining and Critical Mineralswith a provisional expiry date of December 18th, 2030.Approved ExplorationActivities<ul><li>Diamond drilling, based from up to 50 drillpads </li><li>Construction/modification of exploration access trails(up to 15 km) </li><li>20 line-km of ground geophysical surveys </li><li>Construction of a temporary work camp </li></ul>Community EngagementThe Coho property is located within the territory ofthe Takla First Nation, with whom Trailbreaker is committed tocontinued engagement and to building a working relationship. TheCompany is currently collaborating with the Takla First Nation on thefuture drill program.Daithi Mac Gearailt, CEO ofTrailbreaker, commented: “We are thrilled to receive this permit in time for the 2026exploration season, allowing us to conduct the inaugural drill programat the Coho zone. This is an exciting opportunity to explore anundrilled Cu-Au porphyry target in a prolific mineraldistrict.”About the Coho Property (link to presentation)The 8,000-hectare Coho property (Figure 1) is located90 km north of the Town of Fort St. James, BC. The claims wereacquired by Trailbreaker through an option agreement signed in May,2025 whereby Trailbreaker has the option to acquire a 100% interest(see May 26, 2025 news release). The priority target is the Cohozone, a drill-ready Cu-Au porphyry target with recently completedproperty-wide geochemical and geophysical surveys. The zone hosts arecently identified chargeability and resistivity anomaly, associatedwith high-grade gold and copper values from surface rock grab samples.While there has been limited historical drilling on the claims,the Coho zone, has never beendrilled.Located within the Quesnel Tectonic Terrane, the Cohoproperty is situated in a district known for prolific alkalic Cu-Auporphyry deposits and discoveries. The property is located 30 km westof Centerra Gold’s Mount Milligan Cu-Au porphyry deposit, aproducing mine with current reserves of 1.2 B lbs Cu and 2.8 MozAu1.Pacific Empire Minerals’ (‘PEMC’) Trident property is contiguouswith the Coho property’s western border. On December 15th, 2025, PEMCreported a drill intercept of 0.77% Cu, 0.51 g/t Au, and 3.4 g/tsilver (Ag) over 183.0 m from the ‘A-zone’, located only 3.5 kmwest of the Coho property2. To the north lies Pacific RidgeResources’ Chuchi property, where 2024 drilling returned 382.0 m of0.19% Cu, 0.12 g/t Au, and 0.47 g/t Ag3 from the BPzone.Figure 1: Trailbreaker’s Cohoproperty is located 30 km northwest of Centerra Gold’s Mt. MilliganCu-Au porphyry deposit, and 3.5 km east of Pacific Empire Minerals’Trident property, where recent drill results include 183.0 m of 0.77%Cu, 0.51 g/t Au, and 3.4 g/t Ag. The Coho zone is defined by a 650 x 550 m Cu-Au-Ag surface rock andsoil geochemical anomaly within diorite, and spatially associated withan ENE-trending fault zone (the Coho fault) and gabbro dykes. Twoadditional faults, the Valley and Redline faults, extend south fromthe BP zone (Chuchi property) and converge with the Coho fault at theCoho zone. Historic surface grab samples at the Cohozone returned values up to 16.15 g/t Au, 16.35% Cu, and 67.3g/t Ag.A recent (2022) airborne ZTEM (Z-axis Tipper electromagnetic) survey,followed by a 2023 ground-based induced polarization (IP) survey,identified an interpreted 400 m x 250 m x 200 m-deep porphyryintrusive complex (3D ZTEM anomaly) with a two-limbed IP chargeabilityhigh anomaly that spans more than 1.4 km. The Coho zone is located 4.5 km south of the BP zone (Chuchi property) and is currently interpreted to be situated along the sameValley/Redline fault structure that hosts the BP zone. Alkalicporphyry deposits commonly occur in clusters and Trailbreaker’s teambelieves the Coho property, in particular the Coho zone, may representa Cu-Au porphyry system similar to the surrounding prospects anddeposits. Trailbreaker has interpreted this system to be part of acluster of deposits found along the margin of the Hogem batholith.References<ul><li>Centerra Gold website - https://www.centerragold.com/operations/mount-milligan/default.aspx </li><li>Pacific Empire Minerals December 15, 2025 news release - https://pemcorp.ca/news-releases/pacific-empire-intersects-183.0-metres-of-1.23-cueq-starting-at-9.0-metres-including-71.5-metres-of-1.80-cueq-at-trident-a-zone/ </li><li>Pacific Ridge Exploration November 25, 2024 newsrelease https://pacificridgeexploration.com/news-releases/pacific-ridges-inaugural-drill-program-returns-some-of-the-best-drill-results-ever-recored-at-the-chuchi-copper-gold-project/ </li></ul>About Trailbreaker ResourcesTrailbreaker Resources is a mining exploration companyfocused primarily on mining-friendly British Columbia and YukonTerritory, Canada.
