08:45 AM EDT, 10/01/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Trident Resources ( TRDTF ) Wednesday said it is launching a geological mapping and geochemical sampling program at its 100%-owned Greywacke and Hailstone properties in Saskatchewan.

The program will focus on identifying and expanding known gold showings to support future drill targeting.

"The La Ronge Gold Belt is underexplored and has the potential to host multiple multi-million-ounce gold deposits," said Trident's chief executive officer Jonathan Wiesblatt. "Greywacke is particularly promising and could quickly grow in size with minimal drilling. That makes it one of the top priorities for the company moving forward."

The company said that the upcoming field program will focus on the Greywacke Property, which hosts the Greywacke Gold Deposit. Trident will also begin initial work at the nearby Hailstone Property, for which the company recently signed an option agreement to acquire a 100% interest.

"In parallel, Trident has expanded its initial drill program at the Contact Lake Gold Project from 5,000 meters to over 6,500 meters in 18-20 drill holes," Wiesblatt said. "This decision was based on promising early visuals of mineralization. The Company is fully funded, with over C$12.5 million in its treasury."
