CORRECTION NOTICE: Reissued with corrections to column headings in attached tables

TORONTO — Jun 8, 2023 — Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM; OTCQB: PNTZF) (“Trigon” or the “Company”) announces drill results from the East 600 planned open pit, at the Kombat mine in Namibia (the “Project”). These holes were drilled to confirm known historical mineral resources drilled previously by the prior owner from the underground. These results are new to the East 600 area and represent some of the longest mineralized intercepts drilled from surface. East 600, also referred to as the ore capping zone, is located 400m east of the main pit and has been incorporated into our resource plan and mine plan.

Highlights of the Drill Results

Hole 2
Intersected 4.34m, 1.56% Cu, from 37m

Hole 3
Intersected 10m, 1.14% Cu, from 40m

Hole 4
Intersected 76m at 1.48%Cu, 8.9g/t Ag from 22m, including:

– 13m, 1.46% Cu, 5.7g/t Ag, from 3m, and
– 21m, 3.54%Cu, 17.9g/t Ag from 49m, and
– 11m, 1.39%Cu, 5.61g/t Ag from 87m.

Mining Update

Trigon has now completed one full month of mining at Kombat, and the ramp-up to full mining production is going well. The goal for May was 120,000t of mined rock, and 124,000t were mined. May was strictly waste tonnes, but high-grade mineralization has been exposed in several areas of the pit. The first ore tonnes are scheduled to be mined towards the end of June.

Blasts have occurred on schedule once a week, this schedule will be maintained until the mill starts at the end of July, whereupon blasts are scheduled twice a week. We anticipate mining rates will average 8,000 tpd when the mine is in full operation. However, in start-up mode mining rates have reached up to 10,000t on days when the team has pushed to test capacity.

Jed Richardson, Trigon’s President and CEO, commented, “Current drilling at East 600 is increasing our confidence of adding more high-grade ore and reducing our overall strip ratio. We will continue to test areas around the planned open pits; East 400, East 600, and East 900 as potential sources for adding near surface high-grade ore. In addition, drilling is planned for the Otavi area, 12km west of the Kombat mining permit to test the limbs of our 35km of mineralized strike-length corridor.”

The assays have been prepared and classified by Trigon Mining (Namibia)(Pty) Ltd in accordance with the reporting guidelines as set out in National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) as required by the Canadian Securities Administrators.

Trigon Metals Provides Additional Details of Kombat Trend Drilling, Namibia

22 February 2023 by trigonmetals

TORONTO — Feb 22, 2023 — Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM; OTCQB: PNTZF) (“Trigon” or the “Company”) announces additional results from the drilling of new mineralization targets at its Kombat Mine in Namibia (the “Project”) with key highlights from the drilling campaign. The reported results are from the East 400 area, 150 metres east of the Kavango Pit, discussed in recent press releases (August 4, September 15, and November 9, 2022 and January 21, 2023), the implications being a favourable confirmation of the Kombat trend mineralization.

Highlights of the Drill Results

Hole 4C (358 azimuth, -58 dip)
– 13m, 1.78%Cu, from 28m

Hole 4D (356 azimuth, -55 dip)
– 3m, 2.69%Cu, 28.7g/tAg, from 22m

Hole 5C (2 azimuth, -85 dip)
– 10m, 1.53%Cu, from 21m

Hole 6C (352 azimuth, -52 dip)
– 12m, 1.98%Cu, from 41m

The holes reported are from drilling testing gaps in the known mineralization previously thought to be barren. Holes 4C, 4D, 5C and 6C are verification holes testing continuity between areas previously drilled. The results are some of the longest intercepts drilled from surface and with both sulfide and oxide mineralization.

Jed Richardson, Trigon’s President and CEO, commented, “We are working towards a first blast in the open pit in April as planned. The team is now working on a detailed mine plan and the mine contractor is currently working on our tailings facility and they have all of the necessary equipment in place for start-up.”

Figure 1: Map of the East 400 Program Area Showing Location of Holes 4C, 4D, 5C and 6C in East 400 Program Area Verification holes 4C, 4D, 5C and 6C are in the heart of the East 400 mineralized zone and should be considered infill holes confirming mineralization between holes previously drilled. The results reported here are notable because of the length of the intercepts above the projected reserve grade.

Figure 2: Cross Section E400 Hole 4C and 4D Figure 2 shows the draft resource modelling done before the drilling of E400-04C and E400-04D. Drilling the planned E400-04C checked for high-grade copper extension to the north, while the shallow E400-04D confirmed the position of the contact which is quite complex in this area.

Figure 3: Drill Core from Hole 4C The core pictured in Figure 3 shows the clearly visible sulfide mineralization.

Figure 4: Cross section E400 Hole 5C Drilling E400-05C has confirmed the high-grade near-surface copper intersections suggested by historical drilling.

Figure 5: Drill Core from E400 Hole 5C The core pictured in Figure 5, again shows shiny golden-coloured chalcopyrite mineralization (copper mineral) throughout the drill core.

Figure 7: Drill Core from E400 Hole 6C The core pictured in Figure 7 again shows shiny golden-coloured chalcopyrite mineralization (copper mineral) throughout the drill core.

Trigon Confirms Acquisition of Copper King Extension at Kombat in Namibia

30 January 2023 by trigonmetals

TORONTO — Jan 30, 2023 — Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM) (“Trigon” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) to expand its land holding in Namibia, through the acquisition of exclusive prospecting licence 8529 (“EPL 8529” or the “Licence”). The Licence surrounds Trigon’s Kombat and Gross Otavi projects in the Otavi Mountainland, a region associated with high grade copper and silver mineralization.

EPL 8529 is situated on the Kombat trend, the mineralized structure on which the Kombat project is located, and covers an area of 5,614 hectares in the Grootfontein District of the Otjozondjupa Region, between the towns of Otavi to the west and Grootfontein to the east.

From a geological perspective, the Licence represents a potential strike extension of the Kombat project, with various known mineral occurrences on the property. Trigon management has extensive knowledge of the area and plans to implement an exploration program in conjunction with its ongoing exploration work on the Kombat project areas.

EPL 8529 is currently held by Namibian company, Otjiwa Mining and Prospecting CC (“Otjiwa”) and is valid for a period of three years from November 9, 2022 to November 8, 2025.

On January 30, 2023, Trigon, together with its Namibian subsidiary, Trigon Mining (Namibia) (Pty) Ltd (“Trigon Namibia”) entered into an agreement with Otjiwa for the acquisition of EPL 8529 (the “Agreement”). The purchase consideration for the Licence comprises a cash price of N$1,750,000 (approximately C$135,449) and N$250,000 (C$19,350) to be settled by the issuance of 84,129 Trigon shares.

The Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval from the Minister of Mines and Energy in Namibia for the transfer of the Licence from Otjiwa to Trigon Mining and the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Acquisition is an arm’s length transaction.

Jed Richardson, President & CEO of Trigon Metals, commented, “EPL8529 referred to as the Copper King Extension, is an important part of the long-term future of the Kombat mine, the 35km of prospective strike length has numerous copper showings that Trigon is eager to test for potential economic deposits of mineralization, When surface drilling for near term open pit resources later this calendar year, drills will move to the new targets on the Copper King.”

Trigon’s Kombat Trend Drilling Continues to Reveal Growing Magnitude of East 400 Area at Kombat Mine, Namibia

19 January 2023 by trigonmetals

TORONTO — Jan 19, 2023 — Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM; OTCQB: PNTZF) (“Trigon” or the “Company”) announces results from the drilling of new mineralization targets at its Kombat Mine in Namibia (the “Project”). These results are from the East 400 area, 150 metres east of the Kavango Pit, discussed in recent press releases (August 4, September 15, and November 9, 2022), extending the Kombat trend mineralization.

Highlights of the Drill Results

Hole 2A (181 azimuth, -71.8 dip)
– 8m at 1.10% copper 94-102m

Hole 2B (172.7 azimuth, -58.8 dip)
– 9m at 0.9% copper 9-18m and,
– 11m at 0.9% copper 68-79m

Hole 4A (184 azimuth, -43.2 dip)
– 5m at 3.98% copper and 8.7 g/t silver 44-49m

Hole 4B (172 azimuth, -49.4 dip)
– 17m at 1.0% copper and 15.50 g/t silver 0-17m

Figure 1: Map of the East 400 Program Area - The CenEast hole is east of the majority of the drilling that has been reported from this program in the area of the Kavango pit, initially disclosed in the press release dated May 17, 2022. It lies between East 200 affectionately called the Fat Avocado and what was previously thought to be a separate body situated to the east. (Photo: Business Wire)

Figure 2: Cross Section E400 Hole 2A and 2B – The draft resource modelling done before the drilling of E400-02A & E400-02B could only show a very small resource block (yellow grid at the bottom of the section). By intersecting good Copper grades outside of the expected E200 Resource Block, there is a potentially significant increase in the E200 Resource Block tonnage and grade. Also, since there are good Copper intersections closer to surface, the Stripping Ratio of a potential open pit is expected to be improved. NOTE: Stripping Ratio = Ratio of Ore to Waste (Photo: Business Wire)

Figure 3: Drill Core from Hole 2A - The core pictured in Figure 3 shows the clearly visible sulfide mineralization. (Photo: Business Wire)

Figure 4: Location of Holes 2A, 2B, 4A and 4B in East 400 Program Area – Verification holes 2A, 2B, 4A and 4B are in the heart of the East 400 mineralized zone discussed in previous Trigon press releases and should be considered infill holes confirming mineralization between holes previously drilled. The results reported here are notable because of the length of the intercepts above the projected reserve grade. (Photo: Business Wire)

Figure 5: Cross section E400 Holes 4A and 4B – Drilling E400-04A has confirmed the high-grade near-surface Copper intersections suggested by historical drilling. In addition, E400-04B has also intersected high-grade copper on surface and just below which is expected to enhance the Stripping Ratio of a potential open pit. Drilling the planned E400-04C will check for high-grade copper extension to the north, while the planned shallow E400-04D will confirm the position of the contact which is quite complex in this area.

Figure 6: Drill Core from E400 Hole 2B – The Core pictured in Figure 6, again shows shiny golden-coloured chalcopyrite mineralization (copper mineral) throughout the drill core. (Photo: Business Wire)

The holes reported are from drilling testing gaps in the known mineralization previously thought to be barren. Holes 2A, 2B, 4A and 4B are verification holes testing continuity between areas previously drilled. The results are some of the longest intercepts drilled from surface and with both sulfide and oxide mineralization.

Jed Richardson, Trigon’s President and CEO, commented, “Surface drilling continues for the Kombat open pit, we continue to be pleased with grades and the length of the intercepts in this area of our planned pit. We have completed all of the targeted holes for the mine plan for open pit restart scheduled to commence next quarter. We will announce the additional holes as those results become available. The final data is being collected and work has commenced on the mine plan, however, exploration drilling will continue as drills move to test new areas at surface.”

Quality Assurance & Quality Control (QA/QC):

All sample assay results have been monitored through the Company’s quality assurance / quality control (QA / QC) program following E2941 − 21 Standard Practices for Extraction of Elements from Ores and Related Metallurgical Materials by 4 acid Digestion with ICP-OES finish. Drill core was sent to an independent laboratory, African Laboratory Specialists Namibia (“ALS”), for analysis. ALS is an independent laboratory, located in Kombat, Namibia. Core samples were prepared using the ASTM procedures. Sample size: 3 kg, crushed split to 250g weighed sample (+/- 0.5000g).

Trigon Reports New High Grade Drill Results at Growing New Zone at Kombat Mine, Namibia

9 November 2022 by trigonmetals

TORONTO —Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM) (“Trigon” or the “Company”) announces results from the drilling of new mineralization targets at Kombat Mine in Namibia (the “Project”). These results are from the East 400 area, 150 metres east of the Kavango Pit, discussed in recent press releases (August 4, 2022 and September 15, 2022), extending the Kombat trend mineralization.

Highlights of the Drill Results

CenEast 00 (184.8 azimuth, -71.1 dip)

– 19m at 1.18%, from 64-83m
– 3m at 3.24% copper and 11.75 g/t silver, from 101-104m

Hole V01 (172.7 azimuth, -58.8 dip)

– 7m at 2.22% copper and 27.13 g/t silver, from 56-63m

Hole V03 (183.5 azimuth, -53.3 dip)

– 47m at 1.20% copper and 5.35 g/t silver, from 28-75m

The holes reported are from drilling testing gaps in the known mineralization previously thought to be barren. CenEast 00, V01 and V03 are verification holes testing continuity between areas previously drilled. The results are some of the longest intercepts drilled from surface and are consistently sulfide mineralization.

Jed Richardson, President and CEO, commented, “Drilling continues to intercept massive sulfide copper mineralization. Widths appear to be increasing and the continuity of the mineralization appears to be improving as we connect what were thought to be isolated zones. Wider continuous zones of mineralization are what is needed for lower costs and higher recoveries when open pit production is restarted. Higher grades, increased widths and a lack of oxidization show a marked improvement from the ore that was processed from the central pit earlier this year.”

Figure 1: Map of the East 400 Program Area. The CenEast 00 hole is east of the majority of the drilling that has been reported from this program in the area of the Kavango pit, initially disclosed in the press release dated May 17, 2022 . It lies between East 200 affectionately called the Fat Avocado and what was previously thought to be a separate body situated to the east.

Kavango Pit and Kombat Trend Drilling Highlights Strength of New Zone at Trigon’s Kombat Mine

4 August 2022 by trigonmetals

TORONTO — Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM) (“Trigon” or the “Company”) announces results from drilling of new mineralization targets at Kombat Mine in Namibia (the “Project”), in the area of the Kavango Pit, along the Kombat trend mineralization.

Jed Richardson, President and CEO, commented, “Kavango drilling and the early mining in this area have been very encouraging. Mineralization has been far more consistent and massive, matching the nature of the mineralization we find in the underground mine and other areas of the Kombat trend. These initial results confirm our confidence that our revised exploration and production focus will provide significant upside.”

Highlights of the Drill Results

Holes from the Kavango Pit area:

Hole CenMid01 (azimuth 350.1, dip -77.0)

5.1m of 3.0% copper and 13.6 g/t silver, from 8.0m,
And, 6.9m of 1.6% copper and 13.5g/t silver, from 16.1m.

Hole CenMid01A (azimuth 180.0, dip -76.8)

11.0m of 2.6% copper, 75.0m down the hole

Hole CenMid02 (azimuth 201.6, dip -67.4)

9.0m of 2.7% copper and 9.1 g/t silver, from 44.0m

Hole CenMid04 (azimuth 177.8, dip -61.7)

6.0m of 2.4% copper and 5.6 g/t silver, from 55.0m
And, 2m of 1.2% copper, from 67m.

Holes from connecting the Kavango mineralization to the East 400 (Fat Avo) area:

Hole Infill05 (azimuth 186.6, dip -70.7)

2m of 1.0% copper from 23.0m
And, 4.0m of 0.8 copper from 28.0m
And 7.0m of 1.4% copper from 40.0m (see Figure 3)

Hole Infill06 (azimuth 181.0 , dip -73.2)

6.0m of 1.2% copper from 20.0m
10.0m of 1.7% copper from 56.0mHoles are following the mineralization from the area being mined eastward. Holes with the same number and a letter designation are drilled from the same location and different inclinations. Holes marked infill are holes drilled between the Kavango pit zone and the Fat Avo, a high-grade mineralized body previously identified by historic underground drilling. The drilling between the bodies is newly identified mineralization.
