the Christmas Creek Gold Project, WA
High-impact drill program on track to commence next week, with high-resolution drone
magnetics and pre-drill earthworks now underway
Highlights

Ground gravity and passive seismic geophysical surveying completed.
Drone magnetics and drill preparation earthmoving in progress.
Reverse Circulation drilling on track to commence in late May.
Upcoming RC drilling will initially target extensions of the previously reported high-grade
intervals at the Martin target in drill-hole 24XRC097, including:
10m @ 12.66g/t Au from 59m; and
10m @ 7.34g/t Au from 94m

Trek Metals Limited (ASX: TKM) (“Trek” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise that pre-drill
earthmoving (Figure 1) and high-resolution magnetic surveying (Figure 2) has commenced ahead of
the upcoming drilling program at its 100%-owned Christmas Creek Gold Project in the Kimberley
region of Western Australia.
The drone magnetic surveying, along with the recently completed ground gravity and passive seismic,
are being conducted in order to provide a comprehensive set of data to build the sub-surface
geological framework that will be critical to understanding the location and distribution of goldbearing veins.

Trek Metals CEO, Derek Marshall, said: “We are now in the final countdown to drilling at Christmas
Creek and the camp and project site is a hive of activity. The high-resolution drone survey is underway
and this represents one of the final geophysical programs to be undertaken before we start drilling
next week. The data will be fed into our geological models and will help the team to refine drill
locations.
“With earthmoving now underway, we expect the drill rig to arrive early next week and start drilling
shortly thereafter. I am looking forward to heading to site myself with our non-executive Director John
Young to oversee final preparations for what could well be a game-changing few weeks and months
ahead for Trek! These are exciting times for all our key stakeholders.”
