Trench Metals Corp.

Vancouver, Canada – TheNewswire - January 25th, 2022 - Trench Metals Corp. (the “Company”) (TSXV: TMC), (FWB:33H2), (OTC:NVTQF) announces that it has expanded its Higginson Lake Uranium Project in northern Saskatchewan. The Company acquired an additional 3,589 hectares, more than doubling the size of the Higginson Lake Project, which now covers more than 5,900 hectares. The additional claims contain the same host rock and have many of the same geological markers as the core uranium mineralization originally identified within the Project and increase the potential for expansion of historic discoveries.

The Company acquired these additional claims as its technical team has identified that many of the trends that host the Company’s historic drill indicated reserves of 4,800,000 lbs of U308 continue onto these newly acquired claims.* The Company is currently establishing its 2022 exploration program that will include contributions to an updated 43-101 at Higginson Lake and further exploration of new anomalies at Gorilla Lake, and will keep shareholders informed through future news releases.

Dr. Peter Born, P.Geo., is the designated qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and is responsible for, and has approved, the technical information contained in this release.

*The historical mineral resource estimate presented above used categories that do not conform to current Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves as outlined in National Instrument 43-101. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current mineral resource and as such the Company is treating them as historical resource estimates. Readers are cautioned that the historical mineral resource estimate do not mean or imply that economic deposits exist on the project.
