TRENCH METALS IDENTIFIES PETERSON RAPIDS SHOWING ON THE HIGGINSON LAKE URANIUM PROJECT
Vancouver, Canada – February 22nd, 2022 – Trench Metals Corp. (the “Company”) (TSXV: TMC, FWB: 33H2) announces that the Company is completing a detailed examination of the Peterson Rapids Showing, located on the Higginson Lake Extension claim. This radioactive zone is immediately southeast of the rapids between Peterson and Higginson Lakes, approximately 11.3 km southeast of Charlebois Lake. The Company is specifically interested in determining the relationship of the Peterson Rapids Showing with the Dianne Zone (one of the high priority exploration zones identified at the Higginson Lake Project), located approximately 5 km northwest.
The Peterson Rapids Showing is 340 ft (103.6 m) long and it has been revealed by 21 trenches blasted over the zone length. A 50 ft (15.2 m) section of this zone was reported to have returned an average of 0.10% U3O8 over a width of 4.2 ft (1.3 m). A 140 ft (42.7 m) section of another portion of the zone assayed 0.35% U3O8 over 4.7 ft (1.4 m).
In addition, fourteen drill holes totaling 1264 ft (385.3 m) were completed over the showing to explore the zone at depth. Samples were taken for assaying from each hole. Values from 0.05% U3O8 across 0.7 ft (0.2 m) at 114 ft (34.7 m) depth to 0.25% U3O8 across 2.9 ft (0.88 m) at 90 ft (27.4 m) in depth were obtained. The area is underlain by a gneissic granite containing areas of pink pegmatite at depth. Drill hole logs document that the samples were taken from the pegmatite which is in a quartzose biotite schist. (SMAD File 1653).
The Company believes this could be a new discovery at the Higginson Lake Project, and anticipates conducting an evaluation program on the site after breakup. Details of the work program will be released as they become available.
The Higginson Lake Uranium Project covers an area of approximately 5900 hectares and is 52 kilometers northeast of the town of Stony Rapids, which is accessible by Highway 905 and 964. The Project hosts two historic drill indicated reserves, totaling 4,800,000 lbs of U308.*

TRENCH METALS IDENTIFIES URANIUM TRENDS ON THE HIGGINSON LAKE URANIUM PROJECT
Vancouver, Canada – February 8th, 2022 – Trench Metals Corp. (the “Company”) (TSXV: TMC, FWB: 33H2) announces the identification of two significant “uranium trends” on the Higginson Lake Uranium Project in northern Saskatchewan, following the completion of an internal summary report on the review of previous work.
The Higginson Lake Project comprises approximately 5,900 hectares and includes an expansion of 3,589 hectares (see Press Release January 26, 2022) which covers the on-strike projections of the two uranium trends. The internal Company report was completed by Exploration Facilitation Unlimited, Inc. and was based on a review of Saskatchewan assessment reports and private data. As previously reported, the Higginson Lake Project host a historic drill indicated reserves of 4,800,000 lbs of U308 continue onto these newly acquired claims.*
The northern uranium trend strikes east-south-east from the Charlebois Lake Showings to the Dianne Uranium Showings, with projections to the south-east on the recently expanded claims, extending for over 7 kilometres.
The Charlebois Lake showings has seen little modern exploration and has hundreds of meters of exposure and is the source of the highest assay value results on the property of 1.57% U3O8. The pegmatite showing area is underlain by massive gneissic granite intruding a metasedimentary series. The contacts consist of a zone of biotite injection gneiss, biotite schists and granite, up to 91 m wide. At intervals in this contact zone are sill-like lenses of fine-grained biotite pegmatite several meters wide and hundreds of meters long. The radioactivity in the pegmatites is associated with quartz and biotite rich portions and is probably due to dissemination of fine-grained uraninite. Yellow staining can be seen intermittently over the
zones.
The recent internal Company report observed: “Of the 12 uranium showings on the Higginson Project, the Dianne Uranium Showing has the longest strike length and radioactive continuity associated with a major structural feature. Radioactive pegmatites were first discovered in this area in 1949 and include a series of radioactive anomalies along a major ESE-WNW striking tectonic lineament. A considerable amount of work has been completed at the Dianne Uranium Showing including prospecting and mapping, radiometric surveys, mag surveys, trenching, stripping and drilling. However, modern exploration techniques have not been applied other than partial coverage by the 2008 helicopter VTEM survey.”
The Company continues to design an aggressive 2022 exploration program that will include activities directed at new uranium discoveries and to update historic resources to 43-101 standards on the Higginson Lake Project and further exploration of new anomalies at Gorilla Lake and will keep shareholders informed through future news releases.

TRENCH METALS PLANS WORK ON HIGGINSON LAKE URANIUM PROJECT
Vancouver, Canada – November 7th, 2021 – Trench Metals Corp. (the “Company”) (TSXV: TMC, FWB: 33H2) has initiated a preliminary work program on it’s Higginson Lake Uranium Project, in Athabasca, Saskatchewan. As reported, (Press Release October 18, 2021) the Higginson Project covers an area of approximately 2312 hectares and is 52 kilometers northeast of the town of Stony Rapids, which is accessible by Highway 905 and 964. The Higginson Lake Uranium Project host two historic (*) drill indicated reserves, totaling 4,800,000 lbs of U308.
- Due diligence and research completed by the Company’s geologists have indicated that the Higginson property is remarkably underexplored relative to other parts of the Athabasca Basin. In 1948 the Niso uranium deposit was discovered, located 35 kilometers South-South-West of the Higginson property. Saskatchewan’s first uranium mine, the Nicholson mine started production in 1949 and a uranium boom resulted, fueled by the urgency of the Cold War. A rush in the early 1950’s led to the discoveries of numerous uranium prospects and occurrences in the area trending North-North-East from Black Lake for 30 kilometers, known as the Charlebois-Higginson Lake Uranium District.
- Exploration activity on the Higginson property was conducted from 1950 to 1956, by various companies (Palmor Industries, Dee Exploration, Anglo Barrington Mines Ltd.) comprising radiometric prospecting, geological mapping, trenching and shallow diamond drilling. The work is summarized in the SMDI data base, but no assessment files are available. The next phase of exploration was conducted from 1969 to 1976 by Fosago Explorations Ltd., whom completed airborne and ground radiometric surveys, geological mapping, trenching, and sampling over a portion of the current property. Since 1976 no assessment filings have been completed over the property and the activity is assumed to be largely dormant.
- Uranium mineralization at Higginson Lake is thought to be controlled by the Black Lake Fault, a northeast striking regional fault that transects the Athabasca Basin. Previous exploration at Higginson Lake has identified twelve historic showings. Significantly, the Corrigan Lake Showing, was explored by trenching and diamond drilling by Dee Exploration Ltd., which published in the Northern Miner (May 1956) a historical drill indicated reserve (*) of 2,000,000 tons grading greater than 0.1% U3O8, or 4,400,000 lbs U3O8. (Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index File 1656). In addition, Palmor Industries identified a drill indicated reserve (*) of 200,000 tons, averaging 2lbs/ton U3O8 at the Higginson Lake Showing, 550 m northwest of the Corrigan Lake Showing, this being an additional 400,000 lbs of U3O8. (Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index File 1744).
- The Corrigan Lake Showing represents a high priority exploration target for the Company. The Corrigan Lake showing is underlain by red granite gneisses in the north in contact with migmatites in the south. White pegmatite occurs along the contact and exhibits high radioactivity. A report by Kisimori et.al,(1) suggests that some occurrence of uranium mineralization in the Charlebois-Higginson Lake district can be classified as a possible “porphyry” uranium deposit, similar to deposits at Rossing in Namibia and Johan Beetz in Quebec. Rössing is a world-class granite-hosted uranium deposit located in the Central-West Namibia. Rössing’s reserves at the end of 2018 were 23,810 tonnes Uranium, probable, at 0.033% U in ore and no resource figures were published (2). This deposit type represents a new exploration target on the Higginson Project.

The long drought of exploration (since 1976) activity on the Higginson Project allows for the application of new and improved geophysical and geochemical techniques that have been used successfully on other uranium properties. The Company is reviewing airborne magnetics and radiometric proposals. Airborne magnetic and electromagnetic surveys are not affected by snow cover and could be flown as early as January.
