TORONTO, July 31, 2025 – Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM; OTCPK: PNZTF; FRA:TZU2) (“Trigon” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received the initial portion (US$1M) of the US$2M advance from Horizon Corporation Ltd. (“Horizon”) ahead of August 4 ^th deadline and has notified the Company of its intention to advance the balance on or before August 4, 2025.

The accelerated payment follows the successful Trigon shareholder vote on July 4, 2025, and demonstrates Horizon’s commitment to closing the transaction in a timely manner. Please see Trigon’s press release dated May 29, 2025 for further details regarding the sale of Trigon’s interest in the Kombat Mine to Horizon.

Strategic Shift to Exploration – Addana Drill Program Planned

With the Company’s transition away from production at the Kombat Mine, Trigon is sharpening its focus on its exploration assets, particularly in Morocco. A drill program is planned at the Addana Project, located in the established mining region of Morocco. The program will target high-priority mineralized zones beneath existing underground workings and is designed to confirm and expand on known copper mineralization.

Initial drilling is budgeted at approximately US$350,000, and preparations are underway to mobilize field crews in the coming weeks. This marks the first phase of an exploration-driven strategy aimed at unlocking value from the Company’s high-potential copper and silver assets.

Jed Richardson, CEO and Executive Chairman of Trigon Metals, commented, “ We are pleased to see Horizon moving proactively to advance the first payment ahead of schedule. This show of confidence in the transaction provides us with the immediate financial flexibility to begin work at Addana. As we shift our focus toward exploration, we’re excited about the prospects in Morocco and look forward to delivering results that support long-term value creation for our shareholders. ”

All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated.

Highlights

• Copper Production of 310,190 pounds and silver production of 6,878 ounces in Q4 at the Kombat Mine, following operational suspension in January 2025.
• Net Income: $18.1 million for the quarter, or ($0.38) per share, largely due to reversal of impairments and stream restructuring gains.
• Adjusted EBITDA ⁽¹⁾ was ($906,952), reflecting reduced output and continued care and maintenance of the Kombat Mine.

Summary of the Events of Financial Q4

During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, Trigon produced 310,190 pounds of copper and 6,878 ounces of silver prior to halting operations at the Kombat mine due to flooding in January 2025. C1 cash cost was $7.50 per pound. The high cash cost per pound metric was due to the low copper production combined with low copper plant recovery. Revenue totaled $1.92 million, while adjusted EBITDA ⁽¹⁾ was ($906,952). Net income was $18.1 million due to the reversal of prior impairments.

Jed Richardson, CEO and Executive Chairman of Trigon, commented, “ This quarter was shaped by both significant operational challenges and transformative corporate developments. While the flooding at Kombat required us to place operations on care and maintenance, the signing of the definitive agreement to sell Trigon’s interest in the mine saved the Company. It strengthens our financial position and allows us to focus our energy and capital on high-potential exploration projects in Morocco and Namibia. We thank our team for navigating this period with resilience and remain optimistic about Trigon’s next chapter.”

Sale of Trigon’s Interest in the Kombat Mine

On May 27, 2025, the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell its interest in the Kombat Mine to Kamino Mineral Ltd., an affiliate of Horizon Corporation (the “Transaction”). The $24 million sale, payable over eight quarterly instalments, includes additional contingent payments tied to copper prices and mill expansion milestones. The Transaction is expected to provide Trigon with near-term liquidity and exposure to future upside at Kombat while redirecting strategic focus to its exploration assets.

Private Placement

In Q4, Trigon completed a non-brokered private placement in two tranches, raising gross proceeds of $2.53 million. Proceeds were used to fund corporate expenses and maintain the Kombat site during care and maintenance.

Strategic Shift to Focus on Exploration

Trigon is progressing its exploration campaigns at the Silver Hill and Addana projects in Morocco. The Company’s technical team continues to evaluate extensive polymetallic vein systems with potential for near-surface, high-grade mineralization.

Work continues at the Kalahari Copperbelt Project in Namibia, where Trigon holds an option to earn up to 70% of a highly prospective land package along strike from producing deposits. A total of $303,742 has been spent toward a $1 million exploration commitment.

TORONTO, May 29, 2025 — Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM) (“Trigon” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has today entered into a definitive share purchase agreement dated May 27, 2025 (the “Sale Agreement”) with Horizon Corporation Limited (“Horizon”) and Kamino Minerals Limited pursuant to which Horizon will acquire the Company’s interest in the Kombat Project (the “Project”) in Namibia (the “Transaction”).

The Sale Agreement follows the execution of a binding term sheet previously disclosed and the completion of due diligence by both parties. The consideration for the Transaction is all-cash, as disclosed below, and further details will be provided in the Company’s management information circular (the “Circular”) to be filed and mailed in advance of the meeting of Trigon shareholders at which Trigon shareholder approval for the Transaction will be sought (the “Meeting”).

The Transaction will be implemented by way of the acquisition by Kamino Minerals Limited (“Kamino” or the “Purchaser”), an affiliate of Horizon, of:

• 100% of the shares in Trigon Ontario (as defined below);
• 100% of the shares in PNT Financeco Corp. (“PNT”) (the holding company of the Company’s Namibian assets); and
• the intercompany loan owing by PNT to Trigon (the “PNT Loan”).

Minmetals Securities Co., Ltd was engaged to provide market analysis to support the transaction.

Jed Richardson, Executive Chairman and CEO of Trigon, commented: “ With the signing of the definitive agreement, we are taking the final steps toward securing shareholder approval. Upon a successful vote, $2 million will be advanced to Trigon, forming part of the $24 million we will receive ahead of the official closing process. Subject to Namibian completion approvals, the balance will follow in structured payments after nine months in which case we begin receiving $3 million instalments quarterly and the $4 million outstanding loan will be forgiven. These proceeds, combined with the potential production bonus and ongoing royalty, provide a strong and flexible foundation for our continued growth at Silver Hill, Addana, and the Kalahari Copperbelt.”

Knowledge Katti, founding Shareholder in Trigon Namibia , expressed strong support for the transaction, stating: “As a proud Namibian shareholder, I wholeheartedly support Horizon Corporation as the new investor in the Kombat Mine. Horizon’s proven experience in the mining sector positions them to successfully reopen the mine, creating much-needed jobs for our community. The people and children of the Kombat area urgently need this project to resume operations, as it will significantly boost living standards and bring economic hope to our region.”

Pre-Closing Reorganization

Prior to closing of the Transaction, Trigon will undertake an internal reorganisation in terms of which:

• Trigon will incorporate a new wholly owned Ontario subsidiary (“Trigon Ontario”);
• Trigon will transfer to Trigon Ontario all of Trigon’s rights and obligations under Trigon’s stream agreement (the “Sprott stream”) with Sprott Private Resource Streaming and Royalty (B) Corp. and Sprott Mining Inc. (collectively, “Sprott”) including the release of Trigon from all security and guarantees under the Sprott stream;
• Trigon will transfer to Trigon Ontario a portion of the PNT Loan such that the net asset value of Trigon Ontario will be $1;
• PNT will transfer to Trigon, or a subsidiary of Trigon, 100% of its interest in Copperbelt Mineral Exploration (Pty) Ltd.

Purchase Consideration

Kamino will pay to Trigon a total purchase consideration of US$24,000,000 in cash (the “Purchase Consideration”) for the Transaction comprising:

• $1 for the shares in Trigon Ontario; and
• $23,999,999 for the shares in PNT and the PNT Loan, subject to a purchase price adjustment for outstanding liabilities owing to IXM S.A. and Sprott on closing (the “Purchase Price Adjustment”).

The Purchase Consideration will be settled in eight equal instalments, with the first instalment payable on the later of closing of the Transaction, being the deal ratification and competition approvals in Namibia, and the date that is nine months after the date of approval of the Transaction by Trigon’s shareholders. The seven remaining instalments will be payable every three months from the date of the first instalment. The Sale Agreement removes the requirement for additional debt financing discussed in the February 11, 2025 annexure to the loan agreement, removing the conditions to the payment.

In addition, the Purchaser will make an additional cash payment (the “Production Payment”) to Trigon thirty days following the first date upon which the underground operations of the Project achieve ore production and processing of a daily minimum of 2,250tpd on each day for a 90 consecutive day period. The Production Payment ranges between US$3,500,000 and US$13,000,000, dependent on copper price.

As further consideration, Trigon will be granted a royalty on the Project from Trigon Mining (Namibia) (Pty) Ltd, the registered owner of the Project, of 1.0% of copper net smelter returns on a per invoice basis, payable if the invoiced copper price on final invoicing is greater than $4.00 per pound (the “Royalty”) for up to 20 quarters with 8 allowable deferrals. Such royalty is to paid exclusively from Horizon’s equity ownership. Payments under the Royalty will commence once the Project achieves copper metal production of 1,000 tonnes for each of two consecutive calendar months.

Loans from Horizon to Trigon

On February 11, 2025, Trigon announced the revised terms of the loan agreement entered into with Horizon (“Loan Agreement”), in terms of which the loan amount was reduced to US$4,000,000, with structured advances over five tranches (“Horizon Loan”). The Horizon Loan bears interest at 15% per annum, with interest only commencing after a six month grace period (“Grace Period”) and is repayable in 18 equal amortised repayments commencing at the end of the Grace Period. The Horizon Loan is secured by a General Security Agreement over all the property, assets and undertakings of Trigon. A portion of the fourth tranche, and the full fifth tranche are still to be advanced by Horizon.

In terms of the Sale Agreement, the Horizon Loan will be classified between Project Loan Amounts (being amounts applied to costs and expenses in Namibia relating to the Project) and Non-Project Loan Amounts. All obligations to repay Project Loan Amounts, including interest thereon will be transferred to PNT prior to closing. An agreed sale of the project would see this portion of the debts of Trigon cleared. Any remaining Non-Project Loan Amounts will continue to bear interest at 15% per annum, remain secured by the General Security Agreement and be repayable by Trigon on the terms set out above. At this time Trigon anticipates the non-project loan amount at handover will be zero dollars.

In terms of the Loan Agreement, an additional loan amount of US$2,000,000 (the “Additional Loan”) was also made available to Trigon on the same terms as the Horizon Loan to provide flexibility for further financing. The Additional Loan is repayable as follows:

• If Trigon shareholder approval is achieved on or before June 30, 2025, the Additional Loan plus accrued interest is deducted from the eight instalment payment for the Transaction; or
• If Trigon shareholder approval is not achieved on or after June 30, 2025, the Additional Loan plus accrued interest is added to the outstanding Horizon Loan balance and the Horizon Loan repayment terms as set out above will apply.

In terms of the Sale Agreement, the Additional Loan will now be advanced to Trigon no later than thirty calendar days after the date of approval of the Transaction by Trigon shareholders. The Additional Loan will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Horizon Loan, and will be repaid by offsetting the loan amount, including accrued interest, against the eighth instalment payment for the Transaction.

Fairness Opinion

The board of directors of Trigon (the “Board”) has received a fairness opinion from Beacon Securities Limited that the consideration to be received by the Company pursuant to the Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to Trigon. After reviewing the terms of the Transaction and the fairness opinion, the Board has unanimously approved the Agreement and recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the Transaction.

Conditions precedent

The Transaction remains subject to approval by no less than 66 2/3% of the votes cast by Trigon Shareholders at the Meeting. The Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of a number of other closing conditions, including the approval of the Namibian Competition Commission, the consent of Sprott, approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, as well as other customary conditions.

Deal Protections

The Sale Agreement provides for customary deal protection provisions, including non-solicitation covenants on the part of Trigon and a right in favour of the Purchaser to match any unsolicited superior proposal. In the event that the Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances, Trigon has agreed to pay the Purchaser a termination fee equal to one times the principal outstanding under the Loan Agreement. In the event that Trigon shareholder approval has not been obtained by the date (the “Right to Match Expiry Date”) that is the earlier of (i) the date that is two months from the date of the Meeting, and (ii) the date that is six months from the date of the Sale Agreement, the Purchaser will retain a right to match with respect to any acquisition proposal or superior proposal received by Trigon which shall expire within 30 days from the date the Purchaser receives the written notice from Trigon of such proposal. This right shall terminate on the date that is six (6) months from the Right to Match Expiry Date.

Further details of the Transaction, including voting procedures and a copy of the fairness opinion, will be provided in the management information circular to be provided in anticipation of the Meeting, which will be available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca .

Trigon and Horizon are in the final stages of negotiation the definitive share purchase agreement (the “SPA”) that will govern the Proposed Transaction and the parties expect to be able to execute the SPA in the coming days. Please see the Company’s press releases dated February 11, 2025 and April 2, 2025 for additional details regarding the Proposed Transaction. The Company will provide further updates as the Proposed Transaction advances. The completion of the Proposed Transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals, including TSX Venture Exchange approval, Trigon shareholder approval, third-party consents, and other customary closing conditions.

The Proposed Transaction is expected to transition Trigon from an under-capitalized operator to a well funded exploration company. This positions Trigon to focus on the full-scale advancement of its copper and silver exploration projects in Morocco, and the Kalahari Copper Project in Namibia. If approved, the Proposed Transaction will provide Trigon with the financial flexibility and capital necessary to aggressively pursue development activities at its Silver Hill, Addana and Kalahari projects, with no additional dilution to shareholders.

Jed Richardson, Executive Chairman and CEO of Trigon, commented:

“With visibility to approximately up to US$40M in payments plus a potentially lucrative royalty, this is an opportunity to concentrate our efforts where we see the highest growth potential and strongest returns, and return some capital to our shareholders over time. We are excited about what lies ahead.”

A package including the management information circular, which will describe the terms of the Proposed Transaction and additional details of the Meeting, will be mailed to Trigon shareholders of record as of May 6, 2025. The mailout will also include a link to download the Proposed Transaction Information Packet from the Trigon website.
