Trifecta Gold Options Yuge Project to Nortec Minerals

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / February 25, 2026 / Trifecta Gold Ltd. (TSXV:TG)(OTCQB:TRRFF) (“Trifecta” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has granted Nortec Minerals Corp. (“Nortec”) the option to earn a 100% interest in its Yuge gold project (the “Yuge”), located in northern Nevada.

Following an initial payment of $25,000 to secure the option, Nortec can earn a 100% interest in the Yuge by making escalating annual payments to Trifecta totalling $2,000,000 over 5 years. The Yuge will remain subject to an existing underlying royalty and defined resource payments owed to Silver Range Resources Ltd, the previous property owner. The initial payment to Trifecta and up to 50% of the annual payments can be satisfied by issuing to Trifecta shares of Nortec valued at the 10-day volume weighted average price. The transaction is subject to approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.

Trifecta is pleased to monetize a non-core property holding while it focuses on discovering new gold deposits within the Yukon’s Tombstone Gold Belt. Trifecta drilled 1.02 g/t gold over 37 metres in its first ever drill hole at the Rye Project in 2025 and the Company is currently planning a follow-up program for summer 2026. Gold results at the Rye Project correlate strongly with bismuth, tellurium and tungsten, providing additional evidence that Rye hosts a Reduced Intrusion Related Gold System.
