TORONTO — February 11, 2025 – Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM, OTCQB: PNTZF) (“Trigon” or the “Company”) announces that it has entered into an amended agreement (the “Agreement”) with Horizon Corporation Limited (“Horizon”) regarding the sale of its 80% ownership interest in the Kombat Mine in Namibia (the “Proposed Transaction”). The revised terms reflect a mutually agreed-upon adjustment to the financial structure of the Proposed Transaction while maintaining the strategic benefits for Trigon shareholders.

Key Amendments to the Proposed Transaction:

• The principal amount of the loan from Horizon to Trigon has been reduced from USD$5,000,000 to USD$4,000,000, with structured advances over five tranches.
• Horizon will invest USD$500,000 in Trigon’s private placement offering.
• An additional loan option of USD$2,000,000 has been introduced, providing flexibility for further financing prior to Trigon obtaining shareholder approval for the Proposed Transaction.
• The purchase consideration for Kombat Mine has been revised from USD$30,000,000 to USD$24,000,000, payable in eight equal quarterly instalments.
• Payments after the first instalment will be contingent on the parties having secured third-party debt financing of at least USD$10,000,000 for the Kombat Mine’s development. If this third-party debt financing is not approved with 18 months of approval of the Proposed Transaction, then Horizon can elect to commence with the instalments, or to return 90% of the shares it holds in the Kombat Mine, with all capital it has contributed being converted to debt repayable by Trigon.
• Adjustments to payment terms related to outstanding liabilities to IXM S.A. and Sprott Private Resource Streaming and Royalty (B) Corp. (“Sprott”) have been incorporated.
• A follow-on payment structure has been introduced, linking additional payments to the London Metal Exchange (LME) copper price and future mill expansion at Kombat Mine.

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

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

* 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 USD$15,000.

Strategic Rationale

The revised terms of the Proposed 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 and the Safi Silver spinout, 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.

Jed Richardson, CEO and Executive Chairman of Trigon, commented, “ The revised terms of the sale of Trigon’s interest in the Kombat Mine ensure that Trigon’s shareholders continue to benefit from the future success of the asset while reducing dilution and securing essential financing for our ongoing projects. We appreciate Horizon’s commitment to investing in the Kombat Mine and the Namibian mining sector, and we look forward to completing the transaction.”

Bradley Rawson, Executive Chairman of Horizon, commented, “We remain excited about the opportunity to build on the Kombat Mine’s legacy. These revisions allow us to move forward in a structured manner while ensuring that our financing plan supports the mine’s development and community engagement in Namibia.”

Knowledge Katti, Namibian businessman and partner of Trigon Metals, commented, “This deal is not just a win for the mine and its investors—it’s a transformative moment for Kombat and the communities surrounding the Kombat Mine. By prioritizing sustainable development and local employment, this partnership could create lasting opportunities for generations. The revised terms align economic growth with social responsibility, reinforcing our pride in supporting a project that strengthens both the country’s mining sector and its people.”

The Proposed Transaction remains subject to shareholder approval, third-party approvals, and regulatory clearance, including TSX Venture Exchange approval. Further updates will be provided as the Proposed Transaction progresses.

Private Placement

Trigon intends to complete a non-brokered private placement of up to 6,800,000 common shares (the “Shares”) at a price of $0.25 per Share for gross proceeds of up to $1,700,000 (the “Offering”).

Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about February 20, 2025 and remains subject to a number of conditions, including receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. In connection with the Offering, a finder’s fee may be payable in line with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four-months and one-day. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

TORONTO, January 31, 2025 — Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM; OTCQB: PNTZF) (“Trigon” or the “Company”) announces a proactive operational adjustment at its Kombat Mine in Namibia to address unplanned maintenance requirements for its dewatering systems. The Company has temporarily suspended its operations for an anticipated period of six to nine months due to the failure of both of its two main submersible dewatering pumps. Please refer to news release dated January 16, 2025 for additional details.

The submersible pumps are crucial to the Company’s operations at the Kombat Mine, and the unexpected breakdowns have left Trigon with no immediate solution for full restoration of its systems. Both pumps have been hoisted out of the shafts and sent to a third party engineering firm for independent verification of the root causes for the failures.

Unfortunately, due to water levels returning to their normal levels of 60 metres below service at Shaft 1 and 120 metres at Shaft 3, mining operations will be paused until dewatering activities have recommenced. The Company anticipates that dewatering will restart in Q3 of 2025, once the pumps have been repaired and the risk of reoccurrence has successfully been mitigated.

Strategic Operational Update

The Company is implementing a comprehensive recovery plan including advanced repairs and upgrades to critical equipment, to ensure long-term operational resilience and efficiency. Trigon has initiated a phased recovery strategy following the identification of maintenance needs in two key submersible pumps at the Kombat Mine. Both pumps have been safely retrieved and are undergoing rigorous analysis by a leading third-party engineering firm to optimize their performance and durability . While dewatering activities will pause during this period, the Company has a clear pathway to resume operations in Q3/Q4 2025, with enhanced systems designed to mitigate future risks.

Temporary Workforce Adjustment and Employee Support

As a result of this operational setback, the Company also announces the retrenchment of the majority of its onsite employees. To align with this short-term operational adjustment, Trigon will implement a temporary workforce reduction at the mine site. This decision, while necessary under the current circumstances, is one of great regret, as the Company values its team and recognizes the impact this will have on its employees and their families.

The Company deeply values its employees and is committed to supporting all affected team members through this transition. This includes generous severance packages, extended healthcare benefits, and dedicated job placement assistance in collaboration with local partners. Trigon remains optimistic about rehiring and re-engaging its workforce once operations resume.

Jed Richardson, CEO and Executive Chairman of Trigon Metals, commented, “ While this temporary pause is not the outcome we envisioned, it is a critical step to strengthen Kombat’s infrastructure for sustained success. Our team is already advancing solutions to modernize our systems, ensuring we return to operations with greater reliability and efficiency. We extend our deepest gratitude to our employees and contractors, whose dedication has been instrumental in our progress to date, and to our stakeholders for their unwavering trust. Trigon is committed to emerging from this phase as a more resilient company, poised to deliver value for years to come .”

Knowledge Katti, Namibian Businessman and local partner of Trigon Metals, commented, “We acknowledge the valid concerns of the Kombat community and all Trigon Mining employees during this challenging period. While this temporary pause is a setback, it is also an opportunity to strengthen our foundation for the future. Our commitment to Kombat remains unwavering—we are dedicated to ensuring that operations resume more sustainable than before. We will continue working to support our workforce and the broader community through this transition. Together, we will come back stronger.”

The Company also reassures its stakeholders that it is exploring all viable options to restore operations as quickly as possible and minimize disruption to services. Trigon is actively engaging with technical experts and partners to accelerate repairs and explore innovative dewatering solutions. The Company reaffirms its confidence in the Kombat Mine’s long-term potential and is prioritizing investments in equipment upgrades and process improvements. Regular updates on recovery milestones will be shared with stakeholders, including progress toward the Q3 2025 restart target.

TORONTO – January 23, 2025 – Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM, OTCQB: PNTZF) (“Trigon” or the “Company”) announces the results of the recent underground drilling at Shaft 1, at levels 1, 3 and 4 at the Kombat mine. The Company also wishes to address a correction to language used in its previous press release dated January 20, 2025. These confirmation holes were targeting orebodies adjacent to historic workings and close to existing underground development. True intercept width is unknown. The holes listed below have extended the known mineralization and mineable tonnes in the upper levels at Shaft 1 (see Figure 1, 2 and 3).

Highlights – Level 1 sub 1 (45 metres from surface)

• KWO-238 : 12 metres at 2.27% Cu and 30.41 g/t Ag
• KWO-239 : 8 metres at 10.44% Cu and 35.34 g/t Ag

Highlights – Level 3 sub 1 (105 metres from surface)

• KWO-242: 3 metres at 6.81% Cu and 87.83 g/t Ag
• KWO-256 : 5 metres at 1.40% Cu and 21.89 g/t Ag
• KWO-257: 6 metres at 1.40% Cu and 13.95 g/t Ag

Highlights – Level 4 (120 metres from surface)

• KWO04L-319 : 6 metres at 2.15% Cu and 41.20 g/t Ag
• KWO04L-323: 5 metres at 3.08% Cu
• KWO04L-324: 9 metres at 1.94% Cu and 21.73 g/t Ag

Drillholes KWO-238 and KWO-239 were drilled on the eastern margin of the Sublevel 1.1 of the mined out orebody, about 45 metres from surface. These two holes intersected significant grade approximately 24 metres from the closest historical drillhole results known as OMEG orebodies (refer to Figure 4). These orebodies are conformed with the regional strike-length of the Kombat trend (E-W).

Drillhole KWO-242 was drilled southwards, defining the orebody thickness which is extending to the East of level 3 sub-1. This area is about 105 metres from surface and the intersections were 5m long (refer to Figure 5). Similarly, drillholes KWO-256 and KWO-257 were drilled at angles of 15 ^ᵒ to 30 ^ᵒ to outline vertical continuity of the orebody. These holes also intersected mineralization between 23 and 25 metres, defining a clear zone of mineralisation (refer to Figure 6).

Drillhole KWO04L-319 was drilled towards the western margin of the existing development on level 4, about 155 metres from surface. This drill hole was aimed at defining the vertical extend as a follow up to the closest historical intercepts. Similarly, drillholes KWO04L-323 and KWO04L-324 were drilled on the western margin of the Level 4, where multiple intercepts were drilled between 4 and 20 metres from their nearest historical intercepts (refer to Figure 7).

Jed Richardson, CEO and Executive Chairman of Trigon, commented, “ This follow up drilling is very encouraging in grade and intersection width and further increases our confidence in our mineral resource and reserve models as we continue to open up new stopes with high grade copper ore.”

Proposed Strategic Sale of the Kombat Mine

Trigon’s management team continues to advance the sale of the Kombat Mine to Horizon Corporation Ltd. (“Horizon”). Trigon and Horizon have begun collaborating on mine planning and management, working towards completion of the definitive documentation.

Initial capital has been advanced in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement between Trigon and Horizon. The terms of the Proposed Transaction are available to view in the Company’s previous press release dated December 16, 2024.

Due to the recent mine interruption, Trigon’s management team is communicating with its insurance adjustors in Namibia on its business interruption and mechanical claim that occurred on January 16, 2025.

Further Details of The Research Project that Aims to Develop Deeper Critical Raw Material Exploration

The EU’s ambitious goals as outlined in the Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA), NetZero Industry Act and the European Green Deal will lead to an increase in critical raw material (CRM) demand. To meet the demand, the utilization of the deposits deeper in the bedrock needs research and development. The Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) is coordinating the EU Horizon Europe project that is creating a paradigm shift in the exploration of deep critical raw materials.

The project aims to develop deep CRM exploration. This will be done by transforming the mineral systems concept into the first viable strategy for systematically exploring CRM deposits hidden deeper under cover or in the bedrock. The project will develop and integrate novel geophysical technologies and methods that are both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

Strong Network of International and European Cooperation

The research project will run for three years and was launched on January 1, 2025. The 5-million-Euro project brings together 16 partners from Finland, France, Germany, Czech Republic, Portugal, Namibia, and Canada. The consortium includes geological surveys, universities, research institutes, exploration companies, industrial clusters, and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), highlighting a strong network of international and European cooperation.

“This collaboration fosters the exchange of knowledge and expertise across borders, aiming at a comprehensive approach to deep mineral exploration. By leveraging the strengths of each partner, the project aims to achieve significant advancements in sustainable raw material exploration,” says Jochen Kamm, Research Professor, Geological Survey of Finland.

In addition to this, the project will cooperate with other EU projects dealing with deep exploration challenges.
