VANCOUVER, Jan. 18, 2018

VANCOUVER, Jan. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Triumph Gold Corp., (TSX-V: TIG) (OTCMKTS: TIGCF) ("Triumph Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results from 4,685 meters of diamond drilling in sixteen holes targeting the Nucleus Au-Ag-Cu deposit area on the Freegold Mountain Property, Yukon Territory.  Highlights from the drill campaign include:

• Three high-grade gold intersections:
• 18.5 grams/tonne (g/t) Au over 1.5 metres in N17-02 (174.50 – 176.00m)
• 11.35 g/t Au and 7.3 g/t Ag over 1.44 metres in N17-07 (132.46 – 133.90m)
• 10.2 g/t Au over 1.1 metres in N17-12 (111.00 – 112.10m)
• Six infill drill holes tested underexplored portions of the Nucleus resource area where there are significant gaps in the current resource block-model. Each intersected zones of gold mineralization with grades that exceed the deposit average (0.544 g/t Au at a 0.3 g/t AuEq* cutoff), including:
• 21.9 meters of 1.545 g/t Au in N17-02 (173.1 – 195.00m)
• 42.14 meters of 0.799 g/t Au and 0.137% Cu in N17-03 (47.86 – 90.00m)
• 11.14 meters of 2.696 g/t Au in N17-07 (126.86 – 138.00m)
• 17.73 meters of 1.797 g/t Au in N17-12 (99.00 – 116.73m)
• 30.00 metres of 0.701 g/t Au also in N17-12 (212.00 – 242.00m)
• Five step-out drill holes that tested for extensions of Nucleus mineralization to the north, south and east of the current resource area intersected zones of gold mineralization that exceed the 0.3 g/t AuEq* cutoff grade of the deposit including:
• 12.00 metres of 1.005 g/t Au in N17-01 (165.00-177.00m)
• 29.20 metres of 0.485 g/t Au and 0.185% Cu in N17-06A (66.80 – 96.00m)
• N17-10, which tested a previously undrilled 1.0 X 0.7 kilometre chargeability anomaly that lies north of the current Nucleus resource, bottomed in mineralization:
• 21.53 metres of 0.513 g/t Au (453.00 – 474.53m) including 9.53 metres of 1.089 g/t Au (465.00 – 474.53m).
