Trigon Defines Key Exploration Targets on Its Kalahari Copper Project, Namibia

19 August 2025 by trigonmetals

TORONTO, August 19, 2025 – Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM, OTCPK: PNTZF) (“Trigon” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the successful completion of a drone-based aeromagnetic survey over a key area of its Kalahari Copper Project. The Company has also finalized the data processing and 3D inversion, enabling interpretation and the definition of highly prospective exploration targets which will be the focus of upcoming exploration campaigns.

The survey area was selected for its favourable stratigraphy and structure, as well as its proximity to known mineralization at the Fiesta-Fortuna Prospect (Noronex Limited), located 4 km to the east (Fig. 1). Thick Kalahari sand cover (>40 m) necessitated the use of detailed airborne geophysical surveys to identify prospective targets. Structurally, the area is dominated by two regional-scale, doubly plunging anticlines. Ellipsoidal magnetic lows are interpreted to represent tight Ngwako Pan cored anticlines, flanked by magnetically positive anomalies associated with the D’Kar Formation.

Figure 1: Tenement overview map of the Kalahari Copper Belt indicating the drone magnetic survey area in green.

The Heimat Fold Closure lies within the same domal structure as the Fiesta-Fortuna Prospect (Noronex Ltd) but is interpreted to occur higher in the stratigraphy, within the D’Kar Formation and away from the traditionally targeted contact with the lower Ngwako Pan Formation (Fig. 2). This target is based on Trigon’s understanding of the Kalahari Copper Belt (KCB) mineralization as likely having both diagenetic and epigenetic origins. Most KCB deposits are semi-stratiform and located near the Ngwako Pan/D’Kar contact. While minor mineralization is often found along this contact, major deposits also tend to be spatially linked to regional anticlines or domes, and in some cases to second-order faulting. The exploration focus is therefore on domal features with either an exposed Ngwako Pan/D’Kar contact or with its D’Kar “roof” still intact. The Heimat Fold Closure represents one such target, with known mineralization immediately to the east (along strike). Similarly, the Bushman Dome target area, covers a large Ngwako Pan Fm cored dome immediately to the south of the Heimat Dome.

Figure 2: Map showing the detailed drone RTP overlayed onto the regional airborne RTP map. The map also shows the Heimat Fold Closure target and the doubly plunging Bushman Dome target with the prospective interpreted D’Kar and Ngwako Pan contact highlighted in a transparent grey.

3D inversion of the magnetic data has enabled Trigon to identify the relative depth of the prospective Ngwako Pan/D’Kar contact along the hinge zone of the Heimat Dome (Fig. 3). Trigon plans to use this knowledge to guide its maiden drilling program at the Kalahari Project. Additional magnetic targets identified within this prospective zone, include cigar shaped magnetic highs, likely representing 2nd order, parasitic folding and linear structures attributed to late Damaran age faulting and thrusting. Further interrogation of the data is underway in order to identify specific drill targets.

Figure 3: Two cross sections of the 3D susceptibility model for the survey area. A) West looking cross section of the survey area covering both west ward plunging Heimat Fold Closure and the east ward plunging Bushman Dome with the interpreted prospective D’Kar and Ngwako Pan contact zone highlighted in transparent grey. B) East looking cross section covering the core of the Bushman Dome, indicating a steeply north verging domal structure with parasitic S, Z and M folds with the interpreted prospective D’Kar and Ngwako Pan contact zone highlighted in transparent grey.

Jed Richardson, CEO and Executive Chairman of Trigon, commented, “Our work at the Kalahari Copper Project has now moved beyond early-stage reconnaissance to a targeted strategy based on detailed geophysics. The survey results have given us a clear picture of where the most prospective structures lie, and we’re now positioned to advance towards drilling with a high degree of confidence. This is an exciting step forward as we unlock value from a district that continues to demonstrate world-class potential.”

Dr. Andreas Rompel, VP Exploration, adds, “The geological data strongly indicate folding along an axis trending WSW. In addition, a clear contact between two significant lithologies has been identified, which delineates a compelling drill target. We are excited to advance the next phases of exploration on what we believe is a highly prospective and prolific project.”

Trigon Metals Reports Third Quarter Operating and Financial Results

3 March 2025 by trigonmetals

Toronto, Ontario March 3, 2025 – Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM, OTCQB: PNTZF) (“Trigon” or the “Company”) announces its operating milestones and financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2024. All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated.

Highlights

  • Steady Copper Production : 2.19 million pounds of copper sold in Q3, despite operational challenges.
  • Silver Output : 32,949 ounces of silver produced, reinforcing Trigon’s diversified metal portfolio.
  • Strategic Asset Sale Progress : Advancing the $24M sale of Kombat Mine to Horizon Corporation Limited (“Horizon”), providing financial flexibility.
  • Near-Term Capital Injection : Horizon has invested in Trigon’s private placement and provided structured loan advances.
  • Long-Term Upside Potential : Follow-on payments by Horizon linked to copper price and mine expansion could add significant value.
  • Operational Restructuring : Temporary mining suspension allows for strategic realignment and cost optimization.
  • Focus on Core Projects : Shifting resources toward Kalahari Copper and Safi Silver, unlocking future growth.
  • Experienced Leadership : Management remains committed to navigating challenges and maximizing shareholder value.

Summary of the Events of Financial Q3

During the third quarter of 2024, Trigon sold a total of 2,193,597 pounds of copper at a C1 cash cost of $3.21 per pound. The realized price for copper during the period was $2.93 per pound, impacted by high penalties, lower-than-expected final copper assays compared to provision assays, and the pricing formula in the offtake agreement with IXM, which includes a lowest actual copper price look-back adjustment. In addition to copper production, the Company produced 32,949 ounces of silver.

The quarter resulted in a net loss of $14,240,039, or $0.34 per share on both a basic and diluted basis. The increased net loss compared to the previous period was primarily due to impairment charges related to the suspension of surface mining operations in the quarter ended September 30, 2024, and subsequent flooding of the mine after December 31, 2024. Adjusted EBITDA for the period was negative $968,447.

On January 16, 2025, Trigon announced a pause in mining operations following the failure of both of its main submersible dewatering pumps. As a result, the Company has withdrawn all production, capital expenditure, and exploration guidance. By January 31, 2025, mining operations had been temporarily suspended, with an expected downtime of six to nine months. The majority of onsite employees have been retrenched. The Trigon management team remains focused on finalizing the sale of Trigon’s interest in the Kombat Mine to Horizon Corporation Limited under the revised terms announced on February 11, 2025.

Jed Richardson, CEO and Executive Chairman of Trigon, commented, “Our team remains committed to navigating the current challenges with a strategic focus on long-term value creation. While the temporary suspension of mining operations is a setback, the revised sale agreement with Horizon strengthens our financial position and preserves future upside potential at Kombat. We are confident that this transition will allow us to refocus on high-impact growth opportunities, including our Kalahari Copper and Safi Silver projects.”

Sale of Trigon’s Interest in the Kombat Mine

On December 3, 2024, the Company announced that it had received an indicative term sheet from Horizon to sell its 80% ownership interest in the Kombat Mine in Namibia (“the Proposed Horizon Transaction”) . On February 11, 2025, the Company announced revised terms for the sale of its interest in the Kombat Mine as follows:

  • Horizon will loan to Trigon $4M, to be disbursed in five stages, of which $1.35M has already been advanced.
  • Trigon now has an option for an additional $2M loan, providing more financial flexibility before shareholders vote on the Proposed Horizon Transaction.
  • Horizon has invested $500K in Trigon’s recent private placement.
  • The sale price for Kombat Mine has been adjusted from $30M to $24M, payable over eight quarterly installments.
  • After the first payment, further installments depend on securing at least $10M in third-party financing for Kombat Mine’s development. If not secured within 18 months, Horizon can either proceed with payments or return 90% of its shares in the mine, with its investment converted into debt owed by Trigon.
  • Payment terms have been adjusted to account for Trigon’s outstanding debts to IXM S.A. and Sprott.
  • Additional payments of $5.5M to $15M to Trigon will be tied to future copper prices and the planned expansion of the Kombat Mine’s processing capacity.

Follow up payments related to the start-up of the Asis Far West expansion are as outlined in the table below:

LME 3-month Cu price (USD/Tonne) at the close on the LME on the date preceding the Sprott trigger date<9,0009,000<10,000>10,000>15,000 *

Payment to the Company on 1st anniversary of mill expansion to 1,500 tpd (expedited scenario*)000$7,000,000

*Expedited option is not additional to other follow-on payments, nor is it subject to Sprott trigger date condition. The average LME Cu closing price for a period of 30 consecutive calendar days must be greater than $15,000.

The Sprott trigger date is the date on which underground operations achieve average production of 2,250tpd for a 90 day period.

Strategic Rationale

The revised terms of the Proposed Horizon Transaction enhance Trigon’s financial flexibility while ensuring continued exposure to the Kombat Mine’s upside potential. By restructuring the deal, Trigon secures near-term capital while minimizing dilution for existing shareholders. The Agreement also strengthens the Company’s ability to focus on advancing its other core projects, particularly the Kalahari Copper Project, the Addana Project and the Silver Hill Project while allowing Horizon to lead the next phase of development at Kombat Mine. This strategic alignment optimizes Trigon’s asset portfolio and supports long-term value creation for shareholders.

The Company has included certain non-IFRS performance measures, namely working capital, C1 costs, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA throughout this document. In the mining industry, these are common non-IFRS performance measures but do not have a standardized meaning.
