Vancouver, British Columbia / September 12, 2024 – Troubadour Resources Inc. (“TR”, “Troubadour” or the “Company”) (TSXV:TR) (OTC:TROUF) is pleased to profile the achievement of several significant milestones throughout 2024, aligned with its focus to unlock shareholder value through accretive acquisitions and being strategic and responsible with the Company’s treasury.
In Spring 2024, Troubadour made the decision to change its leadership, appointing Chris Huggins as Chief Executive Officer, and Navin Kumar Varshney as Chairman of the Board. Chris and Navin brought a wealth of experience to the Company, with significant success in raising capital and acquiring quality assets.
The Company then embarked on executing their vision, rebranding itself as a gold and copper focused metals company in the mineral-rich Abitibi Greenstone Belt centred around the Senneville Copper-Gold VMS Project. Located in the heart of the prolific Val d’Or Mining Camp, the Senneville Project comprises over 100 km2 of prospective claims that are contiguous in the South to Probe Metals’ Novador Project, host to the 2.04 Moz Monique Resource grading 1.42 g/t Au, and in the north to Monarch Mining’s Beaufor Mine, which has produced over 1.1 Moz Au. *Readers are cautioned that the geology of nearby properties are not necessarily indicative of the geology of the Company’s properties.
Over the past four months, Troubadour has executed its financing goals by bringing on strategic investors, high value partners and shareholders, raising $4.455 million which finances the entire work requirement under the Senneville option. With the option payments complete, the Company anticipates completing an aggressive work program over the next 6 months that includes its maiden drill program across a 11.5 km-long VMS target to earn 100% of the project.
Chris Huggins, CEO of Troubadour, commented, “I am excited for this year as our company is financially strong and has great assets, particularly with us securing the prospective Senneville Copper-Gold VMS Project. With $4.455M raised since the acquisition of our new flagship project, we are excited to embark on aggressive program for the rest of 2024 as we work to secure 100% of this world-class project located in the heart of the prolific Val d’Or Mining Camp. The metals business looks promising, especially with potential supply shortages, highlighting the importance of our projects in Quebec’s globally recognized mineral-rich greenstone belt. We look forward to sharing further updates in the coming weeks and months as we work towards making Quebec’s next major copper discovery.”
Navin Kumar Varshney, Chairman of the Board of Directors, commented “I am thrilled with the transformation of Troubadour under Chris’s direction. Chris has built a new technical team, new shareholder base, and really energized the Company since he has taken over, growing our market cap by over four times since his appointment as CEO. Armed with a strong treasury, I look forward to helping him develop our asset in the renowned Abitibi Greenstone Belt as he works to deliver the next generation of gold and copper assets in Quebec. Chris’s leadership has positioned the company to carry out its exploration plan in 2024 confidently. It is early days, but I believe the growth potential here is exceptional. I am very excited to support a mining entrepreneur of Chris’s calibre as he builds Troubadour into the next major Canadian metals exploration company.”
