Trigon Further Expands Mineralized Zones at Kombat Mine, Namibia – Intersects 8 Metres at 10.44% Cu and 35.34 g/t Ag
Trigon Metals (TSX-V: TM, OTCQB: PNTZF) has announced significant drilling results from its Kombat mine in Namibia, revealing high-grade copper and silver intersections across multiple levels. Notable findings include 8 metres at 10.44% Cu and 35.34 g/t Ag at Level 1, and 3 metres at 6.81% Cu and 87.83 g/t Ag at Level 3.
The drilling program targeted orebodies adjacent to historic workings and near existing underground development at Shaft 1, with holes drilled at levels 1, 3, and 4. The results have extended known mineralization and mineable tonnes in the upper levels. The company also issued a correction regarding previous disclosure about the planned sale of its interest in the Kombat Mine to Horizon , clarifying that Trigon holds an 80% interest in five mining licenses in the Otavi Mountainlands.

Le programme de forage a ciblé des gisements adjacents à des travaux historiques et à un développement souterrain existant au Puits 1, avec des trous forés aux niveaux 1, 3 et 4. Les résultats ont étendu la minéralisation connue et les tonnes exploitables dans les niveaux supérieurs. La société a également publié une correction concernant la divulgation précédente au sujet de la vente prévue de son intérêt dans la mine Kombat à Horizon, précisant que Trigon détient un intérêt de 80 % dans cinq licences minières dans les montagnes d'Otavi.
Trigon Metals (TSX-V: TM, OTCQB: PNTZF) hat bedeutende Bohrergebnisse aus seiner Kombat-Mine in Namibia veröffentlicht, die hochgradige Kupfer- und Silberabschnitte in mehreren Ebenen zeigen. Zu den bemerkenswerten Ergebnissen gehören 8 Meter mit 10,44% Cu und 35,34 g/t Ag auf Ebene 1 und 3 Meter mit 6,81% Cu und 87,83 g/t Ag auf Ebene 3.
Das Bohrprogramm zielte auf Erzvorkommen in der Nähe historischer Arbeiten und bestehender unterirdischer Entwicklungen bei Schacht 1 ab, wobei Löcher auf den Ebenen 1, 3 und 4 gebohrt wurden. Die Ergebnisse haben die bekannten Mineralisierungen und abbaubaren Tonnen in den oberen Ebenen erweitert. Das Unternehmen gab auch eine Korrektur zu einer früheren Mitteilung über den geplanten Verkauf seiner Beteiligung an der Kombat-Mine an Horizon heraus und stellte klar, dass Trigon an fünf Bergbaulizenzen in den Otavi-Bergen einen Anteil von 80% hält.

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 15ᵒ to 30ᵒ 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.”
