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 .

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	<9,000	9,000<10,000	>10,000	>15,000 *
Payment to the Company on the Sprott trigger date	$5,500,000	$8,000,000	$13,000,000	N/A
Payment to the Company on the 1st anniversary of Sprott trigger date	0	$2,000,000	$2,000,000	N/A
Payment to the Company on mill expansion to 1,500 tpd (expedited scenario*)	0	0	0	$8,000,000
Payment to the Company on 1st anniversary of mill expansion to 1,500 tpd (expedited scenario*)	0	0	0	$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.

Non IFRS Measures

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. As a result, these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, we and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate cash, profits and meet financial commitments. Non-IFRS measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. As a result, these measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. For a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable financial information presented in the Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS, see the tables below.
