TRU Precious Metals Investor Presentation - May 2021
Tru has assembled a portfolio of five gold exploration properties in the highly prospective central Newfoundland gold belt. The company has an option with a subsidiary of Toronto Stock Exchange-listed Altius Minerals Corp. to purchase 100 per cent of the Golden Rose project, located along the deposit-bearing Cape Ray-Valentine Lake shear zone. Tru also owns 100 per cent of the Twilite gold project, located along the same shear zone, and three underexplored properties including its Rolling Pond property (under option) bordering New Found Gold Corp.'s high-grade Queensway project.
2. TSX.V-TRU
This presentation by TRU Precious Metals Corp. (āTRUā or the āCompanyā) contains certain forward-looking statements, including those relating to acquiring, exploring, and monetizing the
Companyās existing and future mineral properties in Newfoundlandand and those relating to corporate strategy and objectives. These statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding
these properties and financial and economic conditions that are believed by management to be reasonable in the circumstances, and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including
without limitation: mineralization hosted on adjacent and/or nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on the Companyās properties; the exploration or monetization
potential of the Companyās properties; challenges in identifying, structuring, and executing additional acquisitions, on favourable terms or at all; risks inherent in mineral exploration activities;
volatility in financial markets, economic conditions, and precious metals prices; and those other risks described in the Companyās continuous disclosure documents.
Actual results may differ materially from results contemplated by the forward-looking statements herein. Investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and should not place
undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements herein except as required by applicable securities laws.
Information and links in this presentation relating to other Newfoundland mineral exploration companies are from their sources believed to be reliable, but that have not been independently
verified by the Company.
This presentation is intended for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offering memorandum. Nothing in this presentation is intended to solicit or recommend the buying or
selling of any securities, including those of the Company
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
QUALIFIED PERSON AND NATIONAL INSTRUMENT 43-101 DISCLOSURES
Barry Greene, P.Geo. is a qualified person as defined by the Canadian Securities Administratorsā National Instrument 43-101, and has reviewed and approved the contents and technical
disclosures in this presentation. Mr. Greene is a director and officer of the Company and owns securities of the Company.
TRU has not verified the historical assay results contained in this presentation relating to the Golden Rose Project and the Twilite Gold Project and is not relying on them as current mineral
resources or mineral reserves. Note that grab and channel samples and drill hole results are select samples and are not necessarily representative of mineralization on any of the Companyās
properties. Readers are cautioned that these potential grades are conceptual in nature; there has been insufficient exploration by TRU or its qualified person at such properties to define a mineral
resource or mineral reserve; and it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in any targets being delineated as a mineral resource or mineral reserve. Certain of the diagrams and
technical information herein relating to TRUās mineral property holdings have been supplied by the respective vendors of such properties and have not been independently verified by TRU.
