Trigon Metals

15.5m with 5.56% Cu & 81.4 g/t Ag Mineralization Intercepted at Kombat, Namibia

Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM; OTCQB: PNTZF) (“Trigon” or the “Company”) announces results from confirmation drilling at the Kombat Mine in Namibia (the “Project”) with key highlights from the drilling campaign. The reported results are from the shallow areas of 1 Shaft (Asis West Shaft) adjacent to the historic Omega Shaft from 100 years ago. The 1 Shaft area still contains high-grade zones of mineralization to be accessed from the underground.

Highlights of the Drill Results

Several confirmation holes near 1 Shaft have been completed. These drillholes were targeting orebodies adjacent to historic workings and close to existing development thus allowing for near-term mining during the ramp-up stage of underground operations. The holes listed below have extended the known mineralization and mineable tonnage in the zone.

K15FLW02: 306° azimuth; -88.7° dip
Intersected 9.0m with 2.59% Cu & 36.7 g/t Ag, from 26m;
Intersected 9.3m with 1.35% Cu & 17.2 g/t Ag, from 49m;

K15FLW03: 92.1° azimuth; -89.1° dip
Intersected 15.5m with 5.56% Cu & 81.4 g/t Ag, from 10m;

K15FLW09: 329° azimuth; -86.4° dip
Intersected 9.8m with 1.01% Cu & 14.4 g/t Ag, from 10.2m;
Intersected 7.0m with 1.44% Cu & 23.4 g/t Ag, from 25m;
Intersected 6.0m with 1.91% Cu & 37.3 g/t Ag, from 43m;

K15FLW11: 82.1° azimuth; -87.2° dip
Intersected 18.0m with 6.15% Cu & 81.8 g/t Ag, from 18m;

Andy Rompel, Trigon’s Vice President of Exploration, commented, “We are pleased with the drilling results at the 1 Shaft area. These findings further demonstrate the high-grade copper and silver potential copper potential within our licences and solidify our confidence in the exploration and development potential of the Kombat project."

Jed Richardson, Executive Chairman, commented, “Dewatering has progressed well in the past weeks. The water level has been lowered 238m, past the 7^th level and beyond our 6^th level goal necessary to start underground mining.”

As previously announced, the Company remains on track to initiate underground mining beginning in Calendar Q2 this year. As we prepare for this stage Trigon Metals anticipates increased operational efficiency and enhanced resource extraction following the promising drill results that have showcased the substantial mineralization within the targeted zones.
