1. Ownership and Share Structure Information

The information listed above was updated on the date this article was published and was compiled from information from the company and various other data providers.

On April 21, 2026, Trident Resources Corp. (ROCK:TSXV; TRDTF:OTCMKTS) announced both its approval to be listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and the closing of its property purchase from Eagle Plains Resources Ltd. (EPL:TSX.V). Trident will acquire 4,711 hectares within the La Ronge Gold Belt in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada.

Highlights of the property acquisition include:

• Attractive acquisition price consisting of a small cash payment
• Highly prospective mineral dispositions that are contiguous with Trident’s core high-grade gold projects of Contact Lake and Greywacke Lake
• Multiple high-priority targets on the newly acquired dispositions that are on trend with Trident's main assets in the La Ronge Gold Belt

Trident exchanged CA$5,000 for 100% ownership of the land, granting Eagle Plains a 2% net smelter returns royalty, which Eagle Plains may purchase 50% of (1%) for CA$1 million.

A Canadian public mineral exploration company, Trident, focuses on advanced-stage gold and copper exploration projects in Saskatchewan.

War Uncertainty Settling

Tensions in the Middle East have been flaring back and forth for weeks now, leading to a bit of whiplash in the metals markets. Despite some wavering, gold has maintained its appeal as a safe-haven asset. On April 22, Ernest Hoffman also weighed in for Kitco, noting that Swiss gold exports rose 30% in March. Hoffman quoted Nina-Alessa Michel, policy advisor for regulation and economics at the Swiss Bankers Association, as saying, "Against a backdrop of geopolitical and economic tensions and rising government debt, demand for safe investments is increasing. Despite its role as a safe haven, however, gold has been proving rather more volatile than we might expect. Its price has recently undergone massive swings in various market phases, such as falling by 14% in the space of three days when Donald Trump nominated the next Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, also placing assets like silver and Bitcoin under pressure."

Michel went on to say, "Movements like this clearly show that gold isn't always the safest of havens and can, in fact, react sensitively to geopolitical and monetary policy shifts. Geopolitical developments act as a strong catalyst for gold demand. Analyses have demonstrated that investors increasingly seek out safe havens while global capital markets are beset by fragmentation, conflicts, and changing balances of power."

Still, gold has done well after the market open on April 23, with Ernest Hoffman for Kitco writing this morning that, "Spot gold continued to rise closer to session highs after spiking to US$4,753.79 just after 9:00 pm, and last traded at US$4,739.28 per ounce for a flat performance on the daily chart." Experts are optimistic that after eight weeks of war and constantly changing news, gold's volatility may be settling. A Bloomberg article by Yihui Xie, Jack Ryan, and Yvonne Yue Li on April 22 suggested that gold has moved from a speculative market to a more fundamental market, with the hope that this shift will keep its price steady.

Stock 'Destined to Be a Ten-Bagger', Says Expert

According to FactSet on February 6, 2026, Fundamental Research Corp. Analyst Sid Rajeev gave Trident a Buy rating with a CA$4.27 target price.

On April 17, 2026, Bob Moriarty told Streetwise Reports in a contributed opinion piece that, "I apprised my readers of the saga back in November when the market valuation totaled a mere CA$45 million. Presently, it stands at CA$113 million for a 150% increase since that period."

Moriarty continued, "And now they want to unleash even more colossal results in the form of a press statement from April 15 detailing Hole CL26028 at 4.61 g/t gold over 38.48 meters. That equates to a 177 gram/meter hole. Anything surpassing 100 gram/meters is outstanding."

With a positive backing, Moriarty ended his piece saying, "I believe the corporation is destined to be a ten-bagger in due course. With CA$32 million in the coffers as far as cash and tradable securities, the enterprise is robustly financed for a mound of drilling."

Multiple Projects Advancing

According to Trident's website, the company is ". . . aggressively advancing its 100% owned Contact Lake and Greywacke Lake projects, which host significant historical gold resources located within the prospective and underexplored La Ronge Gold Belt, as well as the 100% owned Knife Lake copper project, which contains a historical copper resource."
