Trident Resources Corp. has announced plans to commence a 5,000-meter diamond drilling program at the Contact Lake Gold Project in Saskatchewan's La Ronge Gold Belt. The initiative aims to confirm and extend gold mineralization along strike and down-dip from historically defined resources. The program will consist of drilling 16 holes and will focus initially on discovering shallow gold mineralization northeast of the Contact Lake Main Zone, followed by targets at moderate depths between the Main Zone and BK3 zone. The project is fully funded with over CAD $11 million in cash and marketable securities, positioning Trident Resources for swift action on future exploration opportunities across its Saskatchewan portfolio. The Contact Lake mine, previously operated by Cameco, processed over a million tonnes of ore, producing 188,185 ounces of gold with a high recovery rate.
