Troilus Mining Corp. Added to VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ)

MONTREAL, Sept. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Troilus Mining Corp. (“Troilus” or the “Company”) (TSX: TLG; OTCQX: CHXMF; FSE: CM5) is pleased to announce that it has been added to the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (“GDXJ”), effective at market close on September 18, 2026, as part of the fund’s quarterly rebalancing.

The GDXJ is a widely followed exchange-traded fund providing exposure to a diversified portfolio of small- and mid-cap companies across the global gold and silver mining sectors. Inclusion is expected to broaden Troilus’ exposure to institutional, passive and retail investors, while enhancing the Company’s market visibility and trading liquidity within the global mining investment community.

Justin Reid, CEO of Troilus, commented, “Inclusion in the GDXJ is an important milestone for Troilus and comes at a pivotal point in the advancement of the Project. Over the past year, we have completed Basic Engineering, advanced Detailed Engineering, permitting, procurement and project financing, and most recently released an updated Technical Report that further strengthens the technical and economic foundation of the Project. As we continue moving toward a construction decision, inclusion in the GDXJ introduces Troilus to a broader global investor audience and reflects the Company’s increasing scale and maturity. We believe this is another meaningful step in positioning Troilus among the leading large-scale gold-copper development companies in North America.”
