Trigon Metals Reports a Shallow 8m Mineralized Intersection, Yielding 1.8% Copper and 121 G/t Silver at Silver Hill in Morocco

12 January 2021 by trigonmetals

TORONTO, Jan. 12, 2021 — Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM) (“Trigon” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results from hole S13, the first hole of a planned 3000 m drill campaign at the Company’s Silver Hill Project in Morocco (the “Project”).

An 8 m interval grading 1.8% copper and 121 g/t silver was intercepted at a depth of 32.5 m. Assay results included a 0.5 m interval of 14.87% copper, 1000 g/t silver and 173 ppm cobalt. (Cobalt assays indicate the mineral is present to a degree that may be of value in a concentrate.)

Hole S13 is located at N 31°14’43,6″; W 004°46’53,3″; 70 degrees to N356, in the vicinity of Hole S1, which was drilled by Technomine (the previous owner of the Project) prior to Trigon’s acquisition of the Project. The intent of Trigon’s current drill program is to confirm the mineralization down-dip of the historic mined-out strike zone, identified by the drill program completed in November 2020 by Trigon. Additionally, it is hoped that this ongoing drill program will provide information as to the structural controls of the mineralization. Assay results are pending. During the last three weeks, 10 holes have been completed that targeted a structure believed to be the focus of historic mining, along 1.3 km of known strike length. The 0.5 m high grade interval mentioned above represents the highest silver assay reported on the property.

The exploration team is also designing a subsequent exploration program which will utilize geophysical survey results in order to identify new targets similar to the discovery at S9, drilled in the November 2020 program, which returned 31 m at 0.7% copper, at a depth of 37 m. (See press release dated November 12, 2020).

Investor Update – 2021 Outlook for Trigon Metals

8 January 2021 by trigonmetals

Happy New Year!

This is an update for Trigon Metals, its shareholders and other investors. Here is a quick look back at 2020 and a look forward to what is in store for 2021. Despite a difficult year globally with the world health situation, it was all told a good year for Trigon.

We completed the Silver Hill transaction, giving us our beachhead into Morocco. Morocco is a country full of opportunities and we have a great one in that project. We started with a drill program there that is ongoing. Also, in 2020, we dramatically increased the size of the resource at Kombat, growing the resource to 18 million tonnes at over one percent copper in an open pit and then to 20 million tonnes underground of high-grade copper ore.  It was a fantastic result, and we have lots of room to grow down at Kombat.

Looking ahead at Silver Hill, we have been drilling right through the Christmas break, so we have a lot of ore in the labs. We have done some surface trenching as well. We will be steadily producing those results through the month of January and February as we work on some resource definition at Silver Hill. Stay tuned for that.

At Kombat, we will be turning our attention towards exploration. As we can see from that major resource increase, there is clearly a lot more copper and silver in the ground that is yet to be defined. We have some targets laid out, but we are also going to be working on expanding our land position to see if we can grow what is already a sizeable resource into something much larger.

The stars of the show looking forward to 2021 are the commodity prices. Our main commodity, copper, is more than $3.50 per pound right now. This is with the world economy still waking up from all the pain of the pandemic. By the end of the year, hopefully, with the successful distribution of vaccines, and the world economy starting to operate at a full tilt, we should see much stronger copper prices and that is going to bode well for everything that we are doing at Trigon, particularly for the Kombat Mine and with silver at over $27 an ounce now.

Midsummer, we saw silver reaching new highs, but it had languished in the last months of the year. It has rallied back to the $27 level of late. With new stimulus being offered around the world as governments try to get their economies in order, we should see silver rally along with gold through 2021.
We believe we are in a fantastic position as a company and for Trigon shareholders. Stay tuned, there is more in store and we think 2021 has the potential to be a record year for Trigon. Thank you.

Trigon Metals Renews Environmental Clearances for Exploration Activities in Namibia

26 November 2020 by trigonmetals

TORONTO, Nov. 26, 2020 — Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V:TM) (“Trigon” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has been granted the renewal of its Environmental Clearance Certificate (“ECC”) for exploration activities on all of the Namibian Mining Licences (“ML”) Gross Otavi, Asis (including the Kombat Central, Kombat West and Kombat East deposits), Asis Far West (including the Asis West, Asis Far West and Asis Gap deposits) and Asis Ost (“Kombat Project” or the “Project”) [73b, 73c, 16, 9, 21] from the Namibian Government (Ministry of Environment and Tourism), which was a pre-requisite for the Company to commence its planned upcoming exploration program. The ECC is valid until November 16, 2023.

The Kombat Project is situated in the Otjozondjupa Region, Namibia on the southern tip of the renowned Namibian Copper Triangle, which is an area associated historically and currently with high grade copper mineralization.

The Project consists of a previous operational mine that was placed on care and maintenance in 2008 due to the economic downturn conditions at the time. The mine consists of three vertical shafts as well as ramp systems, a processing plant, siding and paved roads that have all been maintained in pristine condition during the care and maintenance period. Target metals are copper, lead and silver which occur mainly in sulphide minerals.

In the coming months, the Company plans to complete an exploration drilling program at the Kombat Project to further upgrade the expanded Mineral Resource reported on September 28, 2020, being an open pit Indicated Mineral Resource of 7.35 million tonnes and a combined open pit and underground Inferred Mineral Resource of 31.76 million tonnes, at a cut-off grade of 0.6% Cu for the open pit and 1.8% Cu for the underground.

Type Resource Class Tonnes (Mt) Cu (%) Ag (%)
Open Pit Indicated 7.35 0.91 0.58
Open Pit Inferred 11.40 1.07 0.46
Underground Inferred 20.36 2.84 6.64

The upcoming exploration program is designed to convert the majority of the Inferred Resource estimate to an Indicated Resource estimate on the open pit material.  The key workstream areas include a full re-assay of available drill core at site which were not subject to QAQC requirements at the time (pre-2000’s).  In addition, a potential resource expansion will be investigated with diamond core drilling in areas which show good potential based on the mine’s 60-year operating history.

Jed Richardson, President & CEO of the Trigon Metals, commented, “Our Namibian team is ready to execute our planned exploration programs to advance the properties at Kombat. We look to continue our success expanding our copper and silver resources in Namibia, alongside Silver Hill in Morocco. Work continues at our Silver Hill Project, with drills now testing areas close to our silver-rich discovery holes in the western portion of our claim area.”

Trigon Metals Reports Large Mineralized Intersections Along Extended Strike Length at its Silver Hill Project in Morocco

12 November 2020 by trigonmetals

TORONTO, Nov. 12, 2020 — Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM) (“Trigon” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the results of an initial exploratory drilling program at its Silver Hill project in Morocco (“Silver Hill” or “the Project”). In order to increase the Company’s existing knowledge of the Project and to gain a better understanding of the local geology the Company drilled five diamond core holes, combined total length of 900 metres.

In terms of this program, the Company drilled five diamond core holes (S8 – S12) with a total coverage of 900 metres, for the purposes of building on the Company’s existing knowledge of the project and gaining a better understanding of the local geology.

On August 10, 2020, the Company reported assay results from an elementary exploratory drilling program at Silver Hill; a small underpowered drill rig only capable of shallow vertical holes less than 40 metres was utilized (S1, S2, S3 and S5). These results demonstrated mineralization over a larger than expected interval on the south-western side of the property.

On October 5, 2020, the Company announced assay results from grab samples taken from the northern area of the Project in addition to one sample from the south-eastern side of the property (J10). Again, the results were positive in these areas, demonstrating mineral occurrences over a larger than expected area on the property.

The current drill program focused on the southern area of the property, mainly to test the down dip potential of the initial S1 to S5 holes and also the potential strike connection between the shallow drill holes in the west and the surface grab samples in the east. Drill core was analyzed by AfriLab, an accredited laboratory in Marrakech.

All of the new holes were successful in intercepting copper mineralization, highlighted by wide intercepts of copper mineralization, in particular the following drill holes (copper grades shown):

  • S8 – 3 metre intersection with an average grade of 0.5% and a maximum sample grade of 2.3%. Copper occurrences from a depth of 4 metres, but main mineralized zone intersected at a depth of 83 metres.
  • S9 – 31 metre intersection with an average grade of 0.7%, including a 3 metre intersection at 1.8% and a maximum sample grade of 6.1%. Copper occurrences from a depth of 4 metres. Main mineralized zone intersected at a depth of 37 metres.
  • S10 – 19 metre intersection with an average grade of 0.6%, including a 3.5 metre intersection at 1.1% and a maximum sample grade of 1.7%. Copper occurrences from a depth of 20 metres, but main mineralized zone intersected at a depth of 94 metres.
  • S11 – 20 metre intersection with an average grade of 0.6%, including a 4metre intersection at 1.2% and a maximum sample grade of 2.1%.   Copper occurrences from a depth of 13 metres. Main mineralized zone intersected at a depth of 118 metres.
  • S12 – 5 metre intersection with an average grade of 0.5% and a maximum sample grade of 1.6%. Copper occurrences from a depth of 23 metres, but main mineralized zone intersected at a depth of 115 metres.

Silver grades for the last drill program (up to 56 g/t) are lower when compared to the previous samples taken in the western (up to 531 g/t), centre (up to 280 g/t) and eastern (up to 112 g/t) areas of the property.

The results of the current drill program have provided the Company with valuable information in terms of the geology of Silver Hill project area with key takeaways, as follows:

  • The results have confirmed the strike extension beyond S5 in an easterly direction.
  • Sulphides have been detected at depth, where previously only oxides were noted in surface sampling.
  • The drilling has also confirmed a larger mineralized zone (halo) around the higher-grade areas, as was anticipated from the shallow drilling done in August 2020.

The Company will utilize these results and information to design a second phase drilling program focusing primarily on an area further to the north where grades as high as 21% copper and 280 g/t silver were obtained from grab sampling. The aim of this second phase drilling program will be to get a better understanding of the structural and local geology, to test mineralization and potential sulphides below this high-grade oxide zone as well as to investigate a potential second structure with strike extension to the north.

Jed Richardson, President and CEO of Trigon Metals, said, “We are pleased with the information gathered from our first formal drilling campaign at Silver Hill. To have all of our holes along the 1.5 km target area intersect noteworthy mineralization, leads us to believe that our target is large. The property is unexplored, apart from the limited work done by Technomine prior to the acquisition by Trigon, and we believe it holds enormous potential for extensive mineralization. We are increasing our knowledge with each drill hole and results to date have been supportive of our initial understanding of the geology in the area. We will make good use of the information to focus our upcoming drilling program on targeted areas.”
