TORONTO — July 6, 2023 –Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM, OTCQB: PNTZF) Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM; OTCQB: PNTZF) (“Trigon” or the “Company”) announces results from confirmation drilling at the Kombat Mine in Namibia (the “Project”) with key highlights from the drilling campaign. The reported results are from the East 400 area, and the Kavango North Pit. The East 400 area is located 250m east of the Kavango Pit where mining began in May 2023. Kavango North pit is an extension of the Kavango Pit.

Highlights of the Drill Results

The team has drilled some confirmation holes in the East 400 area. East 400 is the smallest and shallowest of the planned pits at the Kombat mine. The holes did exhibit evidence of oxidization in the mineralized zone, but also returned some of the highest silver grades reported in drilling this year.

E400INF009 (3.7 azimuth, -53 dip)
Intersected 11m, 1.75% Copper, 20.61g/t Silver, from 31m.

E400INF013 (186.4 azimuth, -58.7 dip)
Intersected 9m, 7.89% Copper, 23.80g/t Silver, from 30m.

At the Kavango North pit, where mining is currently active, the team drilled confirmatory holes within the planned resource envelope. The results of the drilling displayed a strong correlation to the resource model, supported the targeted head grade of 1.2% copper and exhibited higher silver grades in excess of the resource average 6.2 g/t.

KVNINF005 (180 azimuth, -63 dip)
Intersected 15m, 1.59% copper, 13.07g/t silver, from 17m.

KVNINF014 (171.8 azimuth, -62.1 dip)
Intersected 5m, 2.78% copper, 36.99 g/t silver, from 35m.

KVNINF017 (181.1 azimuth, -64.6 dip)
Intersected 29m, 1.19% copper, 10.84 g/t silver, from 20m.

These infill holes drilled at East 400 and Kavango North pit serve as confirmation of mineralization previously modeled, however, copper and silver grades are higher than expected.

Jed Richardson, Trigon’s President and CEO, commented, “Drilling is now focused on East 400 and East 600, completing resource confirmation and definition. One of the three drill rigs active at Kombat will be moved to Gross Otavi on the western limb of the Copper King Extension later this month.”

“Our mining ramp-up continues at Kombat. We have already moved 210,000 tonnes of ore and waste this month, exceeding the 124,000 tonnes moved in May, and our June target of 180,000 tonnes. At full production, monthly mined ore and waste will average 240,000 tonnes per month and our team has already shown this is a target they will be able to meet and exceed in the coming months. Mill start-up is planned for the end of July, with first concentrate shipment in August.”

Figure 2: Drill Core – Hole E400INF-009 34-41m — Abundant visible copper sulfide mineralization (chalcopyrite). In weathered parts of the core, the copper is predominantly in the form of chalcocite, a copper sulfide, which the mill has proven to be effective in recovering.

Figure 3: Drill Core – Hole E400INF-013 27-34m — This very high-grade hole, including one metre of 21.87% Cu and 90.99 g/t Ag, has weathering similar to the core pictured in Figure 2. The copper is predominantly in the sulfide mineral chalcocite. 

The assays have been prepared and classified by Trigon Mining (Namibia)(Pty) Ltd in accordance with the reporting guidelines as set out in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) as required by the Canadian Securities Administrators.

Quality Assurance & Quality Control (QA/QC):

All sample assay results have been monitored through the Company’s quality assurance / quality control (QA / QC) program following E2941 − 21 Standard Practices for Extraction of Elements from Ores and Related Metallurgical Materials by 4 acid Digestion with ICPOES finish. Drill core was sent to an independent laboratory, African Laboratory Specialists Namibia (“ALS”), for analysis. ALS is an independent laboratory, located in Kombat, Namibia.

TORONTO — June 28, 2023 –Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM, OTCQB: PNTZF) (“Trigon” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has been granted seven exclusive prospecting licences encompassing 112 square kilometres in the Addana Mountains of Southern Morocco, (collectively called the “Addana Project”).

The Addana Project is a silver and lead, polymetallic deposit located in a district that has seen lead and silver mining for hundreds of years. Numerous high-grade veins can be seen from surface over an area over 40 km in strike length. The veins vary in length from 15m to 2.5km, generally about 40cm thick, often only a few metres and possibly amenable to the use of bulk open pit mining methods.

Historical mining was done using hand tools to a depth of up to 10 metres. Historical tax data from the area shows that taxes were paid on 600 tonnes per year of raw ore extracted from the area, divided into 3 categories of material:

• Al Quifox ore (80% lead and 1200g/t silver), Amjoute ore (65% lead and 750-900g/t silver) basic ore 50% lead and 600g/t silver.

Grab samples collected by Trigon from historic waste material

• T1 – 317 g/t silver and 22.6% lead
• T2 – 99 g/t silver and 9.5% lead
• T3 – 564 g/t silver, 24.8% lead and 5.3% zinc

Jed Richardson, President & CEO of Trigon Metals, commented, “The Addana Project represents another example of the potential for world-class projects in Morocco. All seven permits have extensive artisanal workings showing the presence of silver lead veins. Analysis of slags from the area shows potential for material concentrations of copper, zinc and cobalt associated with silver and lead. Notably, the Addana permit area is 14 times the size of our target area at Silver Hill and the historic workings are far more pervasive.”

The Addana Project is located near Akka, in the province of Tata. It is located about 300 km from Agadir on the road connecting Agadir to Tata. The Addana Range was formed by an anticlinal fold in the Bani series of quartzites and schists, of Ordovician age.

Trigon has not verified the historical results contained in this press release and is not relying on them as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Note that the grab samples are select samples and are not necessarily representative of mineralization on the Addana Project. Readers are cautioned that there has been insufficient exploration by the Company or its qualified person at the Addana Project to define a mineral resource or mineral reserve; and it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in these targets being delineated as a mineral resource or mineral reserve.

Strategic Alternatives for Moroccan Assets

Trigon secured the permits for the Addana Project as part of a reallocation of exploration permits in the Tata region. With the grant of the associated permits, Trigon has three years to explore before the permits must be renewed. Trigon must mobilize and establish exploration on the property within six months of their granting.

As the Company develops the Addana and Silver Hill projects learning more about the size potential of each, the Board of Directors will explore various strategies to maximize shareholder value, including a spin-out of the Morocco assets as a dividend to Trigon shareholders.

TORONTO — Jun 13, 2023 — Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM; OTCQB: PNTZF)T (“Trigon”
or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed the acquisition of exclusive
prospecting licence 8529 (“EPL 8529” or the “Licence”) referred to as the Copper King
Extension, as announced on January 30, 2023, which significantly expands its land
holding in Namibia. The Licence surrounds Trigon’s Kombat and Gross Otavi projects in
the Otavi Mountainland, a region associated with high grade copper and silver
mineralization.

EPL 8529 is situated on the Kombat trend, the mineralized structure on which the Kombat
project is located and covers an area of 5,614 hectares in the Grootfontein District of the
Otjozondjupa Region, between the towns of Otavi to the west and Grootfontein to the
east.

From a geological perspective, the Licence represents a potential strike extension of the
Kombat project, with various known mineral occurrences on the property. Trigon
management has extensive knowledge of the area and plans to implement an exploration
program in conjunction with its ongoing exploration work on the Kombat project areas.
On June 5, 2023, Trigon received confirmation from the Ministry of Mines and Energy in
Namibia, that the Minister had approved the transfer of the Licence from the seller, Otjiwa
Mining and Prospecting CC, to Trigon with effect from May 24, 2023. This was the final
outstanding condition for the closing of the acquisition.

The purchase consideration for the Licence comprises a cash price of N$1,750,000
(approximately C$122,556) and the issuance of 84,129 Trigon common shares to the
vendor. The Trigon shares are subject to a four-month statutory hold period.
The transaction is an arm’s length transaction for the purposes of the policies of the TSX
Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) and the transaction qualifies as an “Expedited
Acquisition” under TSXV Policy 5.3.

EPL 8529 is valid for a period of three years from November 9, 2022 to November 8,
2025.

Jed Richardson, President & CEO of Trigon Metals, commented, “Drill exploration of
targets on the Copper King Extension will start in the coming weeks. The large number
of copper showings fuel our expectations for new discoveries along the 35km of
strikelength.”

TORONTO — May 10, 2023 — Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM; OTCQB: PNTZF) (“Trigon” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce, as of yesterday, May 9, 2023, a successful first mining blast and the official restart of mining operations from its Kombat mine open pit, ahead of initial projections.

Trigon President and CEO, Jed Richardson, commented: “I would like to thank our staff, contractors, suppliers, local partners and the Namibian government for their efforts in getting Kombat back into production after our pause in July 2022. This is an important milestone for our Company and the Kombat community. We are excited to begin production and look forward to the continued growth of our operations at Kombat.”

Video footage of the first blast is viewable at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjoMYDWkW2k

Now that mining has commenced, ore will be stockpiled at the mill. First concentrate shipments are anticipated in fiscal Q2. Copper production of 4.4 million pounds is anticipated from the open pit by March 31, 2024 (fiscal year end), growing to 6.8 million pounds in our first full year of production. The next quarter is expected to also mark the beginning of water pumping from underground in anticipation of reopening underground mining in 2024.

The Kombat Mine

The Kombat Mine is currently the only operating commercial copper mine in Namibia. Mining operations originally commenced in 1962, having produced a total output of 12.5 million tonnes of ore grading 2.6% copper on average until 2008. The mine still boasts NI 43-101 measured and indicated open pit and underground resources of an additional 12.2 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.9% copper. Exploration potential exists close to existing workings at surface and underground, alongside 35km of mineralized strike-length Trigon has yet to explore.

The inherited mine infrastructure has an estimated value of more than USD $150 million, including; a mill that can process 1,100 tonnes/day, an 800m shaft with two other vertical shafts, extensive underground workings, a tailings facility, ramp systems, mine buildings and concentrator.
