Controls Three Pickle Lake Gold Properties with historical resources
Trillium Acquires Land Adjacent To The Past-Producing Pickle Crow Gold Mine (1.47 million ounces of gold between 1935 and 1966; closed in a low gold price [$35/oz] environment)
Trillium North Minerals Profile

Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, Trillium North Minerals maximizes its exploration opportunities by complementing the development of its 100% owned gold properties with a diverse portfolio of joint ventures. This strategy leverages the exploration team's proven ability to recognize overlooked geological opportunities using advanced geological techniques. Trillium also has exposure to other minerals, such as platinum group metals, silver and copper.


Key Properties

Dorothy-Dobie Gold Property

The 100%-owned property, which consists of 182 claim units, resides in the Meen-Dempster Greenstone Belt, 70 km west of Pickle Lake, Ontario. Historic diamond drilling on the property outlined 236,220 tonnes grading 6.17 g/t Au (results disclosed herein are historic in nature and do not presently conform to National Instrument NI 43-101). In the northwestern Dorothy zone, historic diamond drilling of the Dobie Zone to the southeast outlined 301,000 tonnes averaging 5.5 g/t Au, and open down plunge (also pre NI 43-101).

In the spring of 2006 Trillium completed a 381 km airborne EM and magnetic survey over the two zones geophysically linking the Dorothy and Dobie Zones in one 12.5 km structure, causing the Company to link the previously separate properties into one large property. There is further evidence connecting the two structures in the occurrence of additional gold discoveries between the zones.

In addition to the above, a second 1.2 km extension of the vein structure off the neighboring Golden Patricia Mine (860,000 tons grading 0.58 oz. gold) was explored in the fall of 2007. Of the five drill holes, one intersected 153.5 grams (4.48 oz.) gold per tonne over 0.43m (the mined portion of the Golden Patricia vein averaged 0.45 metres).


Kasigminnis Gold Property

This 47 claim unit property is located 26 kilometers south-southwest of the town of Pickle Lake, Ontario and 65 km east of Trillium’s Dorothy-Dobie Property, covering gold-bearing sulphide replacement bodies hosted within sheared and silicified mafic tuff and iron formation of the Dempster-Pickle Lake greenstone belt.

An historic, pre NI 43-101, 6,000 meter, 49-hole drill program performed for Power Explorations Inc. indicated 2,866,000 tons of mineral reserves grading 0.14 opt Au to a depth of 1,000 ft. Included in those calculations were 1,100,000 tons grading 0.19 oz. The figure of 2.9 million tons at 5.8 g/t Au was also reported in the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines (MNDM), Resident Geologist Program, 2005. Geophysical surveys performed on the property in 2004 indicate four new gold targets outside of the Main Zone. Only 3,500 meters of the potential 8,000 meter strike length have been tested by diamond drilling.


West Porcupine

In 1986, Trillium North Minerals Ltd. and Mega Uranium Ltd. initiated exploration on the west extension of the Porcupine Gold Camp, 34 km. southwest of Timmins, and have traced the Destor Porcupine Fault (DPF) through the property. The DPF is considered to be the main control of gold mineralization in the Porcupine Camp which has produced over 70 million ounces of gold since 1909 from 31 mines.

A gold discovery made on the property in the fall of 1994 yielded 0.195 ounces gold over 39 feet incl. 1.27 oz (43.04 g) over 1.5 m ( 5 feet) at a depth of 210 m vertically below surface in hole 94-18. Another hole 95-23, 150 m beneath the discovery hole intersected 20.4 g/1.8m (0.6 oz gold /6 ft.). Another hole 94-13, 400 m west of 94-18 intersected 21 g gold /1.3 m (0.6 oz/4.1 ft.).

A five hole program was carried out by Maestro Ventures Ltd. in 2005; the most interesting of which intersected 11 meters of 0.9 g/t of gold, which included 1 meter intervals of 3.98 g/t Au & 3.70 g/t Au.

Subject to two NSRs which can be purchased in their entirety by the Company, Trillium now owns the property 100% and completed an eight hole drill program in late 2007, with results pending.


Vanguard Zinc Copper Gold Silver Property

Trillium North Minerals Ltd. has been exploring for Cu-Zn-Ag-Au in the Shebandowan greenstone belt since 2002 and has assembled 460 claims covering an 18 km. The property is situated 110 km west of Thunder Bay, right on the Trans Canada Highway. Current drilling is planned to consist of 20 holes totaling approximately 1700 metres. The 2007 drill program is designed to test the area between two known areas of mineralization. On the northeast portion of the property lie the West and East Vanguard Zones. Noranda Inc. previously reported a non 43-101 compliant resource, stating the West zone hosts 200,000 tonnes of 1.3% Cu, 1-2% Zn, 8.26g/t Ag, 4-6g/t Au and the East zone hosts 100,000 tonnes of 1.8% Cu, 3-6% Zn 6.8g/t Ag, 4-6g/t Au. To the southwest, adjacent to the Vanguard property, are the former producing North Coldstream Copper-Silver-Gold Mine (102 million lbs of copper, 440,000 ounces of silver and 22,000 ounces of gold produced from 2.7 million tons of ore, OGS Mineral Deposit Inventory 2000) and the East Coldstream gold prospect hosting 7.2 million tonnes @ 2.0 g/t gold (Rio Alto News Release May 5, 2005).

The area to be drilled was first investigated in detail in 2006, when a program was designed to test a sericite schist alteration zone, along this trend approximately 2km. northeast of the North Coldstream Mine. Disseminated sulphides were intersected, including a 0.8m zone, at a 32m depth below surface, assaying 3.4% zinc, 0.12% copper and 1.25g gold and a second 1m zone, at 35m below surface, assaying 0.41% copper and 20.1g silver. Trillium initiated a large geophysical IP program, now funded by Everett Resources Ltd. (“Everett”), in the area of this discovery to delineate the extent of mineralization. The current 20 hole program will test IP chargeability highs in this area

Through a joint venture agreement with Everett Resources Ltd, exploration on the Vanguard Project is wholly funded by Everett, with Trillium currently carrying out the exploration. To earn a 50% interest Everett must fund $3,000,000 in exploration and pay Trillium $150,000 in option payments and 200,000 common shares of Everett. Everett can earn an additional 10% by completing a bankable feasibility study, and a further 10% by taking the property to production.


All of the exploration results disclosed herein, that are identified as pre-NI 43-101, are historic in nature and do not presently conform to National Instrument NI-43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. They have been reviewed, but not verified by Michael Thompson, P. Geo., who is our designated Qualified Person and responsible for the verification and quality assurance of our exploration data and analytical results. In the opinion of our Qualified Person, based on the information available, the mineralization so identified, will require verification and infill drilling to establish grades and tonnage. Therefore the historic figures should not be relied on.
