In addition, an existing drilling permit for the Liberty property has been transferred to Trailbreaker. The permit allows Trailbreaker to conduct a first-pass drilling program to test the Liberty Cu-Mo porphyry target. Trailbreaker has initiated a “Request For Proposal” process with drill contractors to conduct a drilling program at Liberty in spring, 2024. This would allow for immediate follow-up exploration if results are favourable.
Message from the President
“By expanding the property, Trailbreaker has secured a first-mover advantage. The existing permit will strategically allow us to drill-test the Cu-Mo porphyry target while also advancing additional targets across the property. When we compare this property to Taseko’s
Liberty Property Description
The Liberty Property is located approximately 60 km northwest of
The primary target of the Liberty project is a northwest-trending Cu-Mo ± gold (Au) ± silver (Ag) mobile metal ion (MMI) soil anomaly1 (Figure 1). This overlaps an induced polarization (IP) chargeability1 feature on the margin of the granitic intrusion. A historic drill hole to the south of this coincident anomaly returned an interval of 123.1 m of 0.11% Cu and 0.04% MoS21. For more information on this target see news release dated
In addition to the Cu-Mo porphyry target and the Cu-skarn target, which returned assay values of >8% Cu from historic trenching2, the expanded property also covers an epithermal gold target, where epithermal vein textures have been observed in a road cut2. Nearby soil and test pit samples returned anomalous grades of gold (Au) and arsenic (As)2. These may represent a lower-temperature epithermal portion of the hydrothermal system.

Claim Acquisition and Staking
Trailbreaker staked an additional 1,007 hectares of claims along the southeast margin of the previous property boundary in order to cover the entire mapped granitic intrusion and any potential mineralization that may be associated with the intrusion.
As well, Trailbreaker purchased 100% interest in a claim block covering 2,148 hectares adjoining the property and extending it to the northwest of the previous property boundary, covering the northwest extent of the granitic intrusion and the epithermal gold target.
This expansion increases the property size from 1,898 hectares to 5,054 hectares, encompassing known prospective geological settings in the area.
