Trident Resources Announces Appointment of Canadian Mining Hall of Famer Ron Netolitzky as a Strategic Advisor

Vancouver, BC, May 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Trident Resources Corp. (TSX-V: ROCK) (OTCQB: TRDTF) ("Trident” or the "Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of renowned geologist and executive Mr. Ronald Netolitzky to help guide and advise the team on its exploration efforts in the La Ronge Gold belt.

Ronald Netolitzky is an accomplished Canadian geologist who has always remained an independent-minded prospector at heart. Mr. Netolitzky has been responsible for some of Canada’s most significant mineral discoveries including those at the Snip and Eskay Creek properties in northwest British Columbia, which became two of Canada’s most successful, high-grade precious metal mines. He has also contributed to the growth of many junior mining companies and has been involved in 12 significant corporate transactions including mergers-and-acquisitions over the course of his career. Mr. Netolitzky remains active in gold and uranium exploration, notably in Saskatchewan, where he began his career almost 50 years ago.

Mr. Netolitzky has been honoured with the Prospector of the Year award from the PDAC, and Developer of the Year award from the BC and Yukon Chamber of Mines. In 2015, he was inducted into the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame. Mr. Netolitzky graduated from the University of Alberta with a B.Sc. in geology in 1964 and a M.Sc. from University of Calgary in 1967. He joined the Saskatchewan uranium rush as a consultant and by 1985, Mr. Netolitzky was president of Delaware Resources and seeking a project of merit. The Snip property optioned from Cominco fit the bill and the first drill program led to a major gold discovery.

Jon Wiesblatt, Trident’s CEO and a Director, commented: "I am very pleased to welcome Ron as an Advisor to our Saskatchewan-focused, high-grade gold exploration company. Ron brings a wealth of experience in mineral exploration and operations in Canada. He is in large part responsible for assembling the highly prospective gold assets consolidated under Trident Resources through a comprehensive regional and structural geologic perspective. His guidance and knowledge will be of utmost importance to Trident as the company strives to unlock value at an up-and-coming significant mining camp. This appointment strengthens our ability to execute on our corporate strategy and create value for all stakeholders."
