Trifecta Gold Announces Start of Drilling at Yuge Gold Project, Nevada and Provides Corporate Update

VANCOUVER, January 26, 2022 - Trifecta Gold Ltd. (TSXV:TG) ("Trifecta" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of a reverse-circulation ("RC") drill program at the Company's wholly owned road accessible Yuge Gold Project ("Yuge" or the "Property") located in northern Nevada.

Yuge covers a growing number of high grade mesothermal gold vein targets surrounding the historical Columbia and Juanita mines as well as bulk tonnage gold mineralization associated with medium grained diorite dykes and intrusions. The current drill campaign will include up to 1,200 m of drilling designed to better constrain the orientation of and expand upon the known mineralization at the Columbia and Juanita targets.

Complete drill results from 2021 were announced April 19, 2021 with highlights from Columbia and Juanita including:

• 2.27 g/t gold over 38.1 m (including 3.63 g/t gold over 15.24 m) from hole YU-21-02 at Columbia; and,
• 0.99 g/t gold over 30.48 m (including 3.4 g/t gold over 6.1 m) from hole YU-21-07 at Juanita;

Other highly prospective targets include Josie, where surface samples grading in excess of 10 g/t gold have been collected over a 550 m strike length, and Trench I, (located central to Josie, Columbia and Juanita) which returned 17.7 m of 2.34 g/t gold (including 2 m of 6.49 g/t gold) from a highly altered granodiorite unit (announced November 2, 2021).

Additional soil sampling throughout the project area is planned to help define additional drill targets. Reclamation of existing trenches is scheduled in order to permit additional drill sites for follow-up programs.

About Yuge

The Property is located in Humboldt County, approximately 55 kilometres south of Denio in the Varyville Mining District. Yuge is road accessible and covers the Columbia and Juanita Mines, which produced on a small scale between 1870 and 1937, as well as the Josie target, where Trifecta has confirmed the presence of multiple gold bearing structures through surface sampling. Gold on the property occurs with sulphides (arsenopyrite and pyrite) or their weathered products (scorodite and iron oxides) in mesothermal quartz veins and adjacent wall rock. Recently identified broad zones of gold mineralization are associated with diorite dykes/intrusions. Documented run-of-mine sorted ore assayed greater than 34 g/t gold and reported sampling of a crown pillar returned 16.8 g/t gold over 2.4 m,including 50.7 g/t gold over 0.6 m (Columbia target). Sulphide mineralization occurs at depths greater than 30 m with arsenopyrite-rich material reportedly assaying greater than 17.4 g/t gold. Historical mining only extended down to the bottom of the oxidized zone.

Trifecta is a Canadian-based precious metals exploration company dedicated to increasing shareholder value through the discovery and development of 100% held gold projects in Yukon and Nevada. Initial drilling at its Yuge Gold Project, located in northern Nevada, has identified multiple broad zones of gold mineralization near historical high-grade mines. The Company's Eureka Project hosts an 8 x 2.5 kilometre belt of surface showings and anomalous gold-in-soil that straddle the headwaters of two of the most productive placer creeks in Yukon's southern Klondike Goldfields.
