• Hole 5C: 10m at 1.53% Cu from 21m
• Hole 6C: 12m at 1.98% Cu from 41m

These results indicate strong mineral continuity and support plans for an open-pit blast in April. The company is preparing a detailed mine plan and work on the tailings facility is underway.

Positive

• Confirmed significant copper and silver mineralization with notable drill results.
• Preparation for first blast in April as planned, indicating progress in operations.
• Continued focus on exploration and redevelopment of the Kombat Mine.

Negative

• None.

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- 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.

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.

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.”

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.
