09:12 AM EDT, 07/23/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Troilus Mining ( CHXMF ) said Thursday that the third batch of results from the Troilus Project in north-central Quebec, help validate its mine plan optimization program.

The Z87 optimization program, which will upgrade inferred material and target unsampled intervals from historic drilling within part of the main ore zone, returned 1.10 grams per tonne (g/t) gold equivalent over 103 metres, the statement said.

"These particular results demonstrate that there is more mineralization to be defined in many areas of the reserve pit and significant high-grade material just behind existing pit walls," Chief Executive Justin Reid said. "We expect that successfully targeting inferred material and expanding new high-grade trends in the hanging wall should translate to more tonnage and an improved strip ratio during early mining phases."
