Safi Silver Corp Provides Update on Addana Drilling Program Safi Silver Corp. reported that drilling is complete on the first hole of the Addana campaign, and has commenced on the second hole. Hole #2 is expected to be completed before May 23. The current phase of drilling is focused on targets located in the southwestern portion of the Addana property, where historical work and recent field mapping have identified structurally controlled mineralized zones in quartz-carbonate veins, considered highly prospective for polymetallic silver mineralization. The Company reports that drilling operations have progressed smoothly to date. Recovery of drill core and geological logging is meeting the Company’s expectations. Once recovered, the core is systematically processed, photographed, logged, and prepared for sampling at the Company’s new and secure facilities in the town of Igdi prior to shipment for analytical testing. Samples from the Addana drilling program will be analyzed by Afrilab, a SGS and ISO-certified independent analytical laboratory located in Marrakech, Morocco. The laboratory has previously been utilized by the Company for exploration programs within Morocco and provides internationally recognized analytical services for precious and base metal exploration projects. Afrilab utilizes fire assay, atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Such methods are ideal for this program, given the precious and base metals mineralization targeted at Addana. As core is recovered, it is being geologically logged and sampled in batches to maintain a consistent flow of material to the laboratory. This approach allows us to maintain strong quality control procedures while ensuring timely assay turnaround as the program advances. Drilling at Addana represents another important milestone in Safi Silver’s transition toward becoming a focused Moroccan polymetallic silver exploration company. The initial drill program at Addana is designed to test priority targets identified through historical exploration, surface sampling, geological mapping, and structural interpretation. The Company expects to provide additional operational updates as drilling progresses and assay results become available. The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Dr. Andreas Rompel, (Pr.Sci.Nat., FSAIMM)., Chief Exploration of Safi Silver, who is a “Qualified Person” as defined under National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

Trigon Metals Inc. to Begin Drilling Campaign At Addana Project, Morocco Trigon Metals Inc. announced the launch of its inaugural drill program at its Addana Project in southern Morocco. The campaign is planned to commence before the end of the month, targeting structurally controlled silver-lead polymetallic vein systems across the Company's 112 km2 permit package in the Addana Mountains. The Addana Project comprises seven exclusive prospecting permits covering approximately 112 km2 in the Addana Mountains, within the province of Tata in southern Morocco. Located near Akka, roughly 300 km southeast of Agadir, the Project is easily accessible by the Agadir-Tata highway and benefits from well-developed local infrastructure. Addana was selected as Trigon's Moroccan project due to its potential for near-surface, high-grade polymetallic mineralization, which is supported by historic artisanal mining and extensive surface sampling. Geologically, Addana lies within the Bani Group of Ordovician quartzites and schists, folded into a broad anticline forming the Addana Range. Mineralization occurs as a network of silver-lead veins, often with zinc and copper, following brittle deformation zones and quartz-carbonate vein systems. Surface mapping and trenching have revealed numerous parallel veins extending up to 2.5 km in length, with grab samples returning assays as high as 564 g/t silver, 24.8 % lead, and 5.3 % zinc. These results highlight the Project's potential for significant, structurally controlled mineralization at depth. Trigon's upcoming drilling program is designed to confirm continuity and grade of the mineralized veins below the shallow workings historically exploited by artisanal miners. Drill fences have been planned across key vein corridors to test both strike and depth extensions, while downhole surveys and core orientation will provide structural data essential for modelling the mineralized system. At Antenna Hill, 5 holes are expected to be drilled as well as 7 holes at Addana SW. Each hole will be logged and split for multi-element assays including silver, lead, zinc, and copper. A comprehensive QA/QC protocol, including certified standards, blanks, and duplicates, will ensure the reliability of assay results. Geotechnical and structural logging will be fully integrated into the program design to guide future targeting. Site preparation, including access roads and drill pads, is nearing completion, with local contractors now mobilizing equipment to site. Aankondiging • Sep 18

Trigon Metals Inc. Defines Key Exploration Targets on Its Kalahari Copper Project, Namibia Trigon Metals Inc. announced the successful completion of a drone-based aeromagnetic survey over a key area of its Kalahari Copper Project. The Company has also finalized the data processing and 3D inversion, enabling interpretation and the definition of highly prospective exploration targets which will be the focus of upcoming exploration campaigns. The survey area was selected for its favourable stratigraphy and structure, as well as its proximity to known mineralization at the Fiesta-Fortuna Prospect (Noronex Limited), located 4 km to the east (Fig. 1). Thick Kalahari sand cover (>40 m) necessitated the use of detailed airborne geophysical surveys to identify prospective targets. Structurally, the area is dominated by two regional-scale, doubly plunging anticlines. Ellipsoidal magnetic lows are interpreted to represent tight Ngwako Pan cored anticlines, flanked by magnetically positive anomalies associated with the D’Kar Formation. The Heimat Fold Closure lies within the same domal structure as the Fiesta-Fortuna Prospect (Noronex Ltd) but is interpreted to occur higher in the stratigraphy, within the D’Kar Formation and away from the traditionally targeted contact with the lower Ngwako Pan Formation (Fig. 2). This target is based on Trigon’s understanding of the Kalahari Copper Belt (KCB) mineralization as likely having both diagenetic and epigenetic origins. Most KCB deposits are semi-stratiform and located near the Ngwako Pan/D’Kar contact. While minor mineralization is often found along this contact, major deposits also tend to be spatially linked to regional anticlines or domes, and in some cases to second-order faulting. The exploration focus is therefore on domal features with either an exposed Ngwako Pan/D’Kar contact or with its D’Kar “roof” still intact. The Heimat Fold Closure represents one such target, with known mineralization immediately to the east (along strike). Similarly, the Bushman Dome target area, covers a large Ngwako Pan Fm cored dome immediately to the south of the Heimat Dome. 3D inversion of the magnetic data has enabled Trigon to identify the relative depth of the prospective Ngwako Pan/D’Kar contact along the hinge zone of the Heimat Dome (Fig. 3). Trigon plans to use this knowledge to guide its maiden drilling program at the Kalahari Project. Additional magnetic targets identified within this prospective zone, include cigar shaped magnetic highs, likely representing 2 order, parasitic folding and linear structures attributed to late Damaran age faulting and thrusting. Further interrogation of the data is underway in order to identify specific drill targets. Aankondiging • Apr 25

Trigon Metals Inc. Pauses Kombat Mine Operations to Address Setback Trigon Metals Inc. announced 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. 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 third quarter 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 third quarter /fourth quarter 2025, with enhanced systems designed to mitigate future risks. As a result of this operational setback, the Company also announced 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. Aankondiging • Jan 23

Trigon Metals Inc. Announces Update of Kombat Mine, Namibia Trigon Metals Inc. announced that it has reached a key milestone, having mined an average of 980 tonnes of ore a day from its underground operations over a 30 day period and that it will pause its open pit operations at the end of September 2024 at the Company's Kombat mine in Namibia. Trigon has achieved a key milestone as required pursuant to the terms of the streaming agreement with Sprott Private Resource Streaming and Royalty (B) Corp. and Sprott Mining Inc. by exceeding average production of 900 tonnes per day from its underground operations over 30 consecutive days. This threshold was required to be met by October 31, 2025 and has been met by Trigon 13 months earlier than contractually required. Following the success from its underground operations, Trigon has made the decision to pause its open pit mining activities with effect from the end of September 2024, based on the following supporting factors: The successful recommissioning of the underground mine with commercial production declared on May 23, 2024, Ability to mine 900 tonnes per day average over a 30 day period, The significant grade differential and positive contribution of the underground mining operations when compared to the open pit operations, and The current milling capacity constraint at the Kombat mine limits plant throughput to 1,000 tonnes per day, which in turn leads to the preferential feeding of higher-grade underground ore. The Company is able to fill any production shortfall through feeding of existing lower-grade stockpiles until such time as underground production reaches full steady state. The mining contractor for the open-pit operations has been notified of the intended pause of open pit mining activities and will demobilise from the operations by the end of September 2024.

Trigon Metals Inc. Identifies New Zone in the Vicinity of Shaft #3 of Kombat Mine, Namibia Trigon Metals Inc. announced the results of drilling from the new zone identified in the vicinity of Shaft #3 of the Kombat mine. These areas are outside the proven and probable mine reserves published in March 2024. Mineralization in these areas was initially detected in surface drilling in 2023 and some historic drill work dating back to when Goldfields operated the mine. The holes classified as follow-up have yielded positive results. Total volumes and tonnage for a mineral resource estimate have yet to be quantified. At present, drilling is spaced to define a mineral resource estimate in the indicated mineral resource category. Trigon continues its underground drilling operations, with approximately 3,500 meters planned by year-end. Next Steps by Trigon: 1. Volume and Tonnes Calculation: Trigon will estimate block volumes based on drilling intersections and apply the mineralization zone’s s bulk density to convert these volumes into tonnes. 2. Mineral Resource Estimate Category Upgrading: Continue drilling within the indicated mineral resource estimate category. Consider follow-up drilling at closer intervals in high-grade areas to potentially upgrade to the measured mineral resource estimate category. 3. Ongoing Drilling Plan: Trigon plans to drill approximately 3,500 meters by year-end, providing additional data to refine mineral resource estimates and potentially increase confidence levels. 4. Grade Variability: The variability in grades suggests heterogeneous mineralization. Understanding mineralization distribution and continuity is critical for more accurate mineral resource estimation and extraction planning. Aankondiging • Jul 19
Trigon Metals Stabilizes Water Levels and Maintains Uninterrupted Production from Underground At Kombat Mine, Namibia Trigon Metals Inc. executed a plan to address a temporary setback in underground pumping progress due to the failure of one of its two main dewatering pumps on the evening of June 14, 2024 at the Company's Kombat mine in Namibia. The mine had been dewatered down to 331 metres from the shaft collar at the time of the pump failure and the water has since risen to 227 metres below surface and has remained at that level for the last 2 weeks. A new pump body has been ordered from the supplier and is currently scheduled to arrive in neighboring South Africa by air on July 21, 2024. The pump will then be transported by road to Kombat for installation. Installation and repositioning of the completed pumping unit is estimated to be completed by July 28, 2024. The failure is localized to the pump body (known as the wet end) and does not extend to the pump motor and the installed variable speed drive. The causes of the failure have been identified and are being investigated further with the original manufacturer and supplier of the pump, Yantai Xinhai Industry & Trade Co. Ltd. Mining activities continue as normal from the underground operations with mining activities focused on mining above 120 metres from the shaft collar. The remaining pump is being monitored continuously and does not show any sign of fatigue or potential failure at this juncture. The Company remains focused on underground production from the Asis West underground complex. The pumping setbacks are not expected to impact plans and projections previously outlined in the Company's guidance. Aankondiging • Apr 20
Trigon Metals Inc. Announces Schlangental Drilling Intercepts 7.0m at 3.52% Copper and 43.09g/t Silver 15km East of Kombat Mine Trigon Metals Inc. announced highlights of the exploration campaign at Schlangental, a key prospect within the wider Kombat property, situated approximately 15km east of the active mining licence ML73B. This announcement comes on the heels of the Company finalizing its comprehensive exploration plan for the expansive Kombat property, spanning nearly 35 km from Gross Otavi to the west and Schlangental in the east. Objectives Schlangental Drilling Campaign: Drilling at Schlangental is the first campaign testing mineralization outside of the main Kombat mining license on the Copper King Extension exploration prospect. Surface mineralization attracted Trigon geologists to the Schlangental area where reports of historic drilling indicated that mineralization continued at depth but no cores or detailed logs were available. Of the planned 36 holes totaling 4,000m, only two holes have been drilled to-date, with both holes intercepting mineralization at modest depths. Highlights of Two Confirmatory Holes: SCPL23-19: 331 azimuth; -57.5 dip, Intersected 7.0m with 3.52% Cu & 43.09 g/t Ag, from 56m. SCPL23-20: 327.2 azimuth;-59.1dip, Intersected 3.0m with 1.99% Cu & 34.38 g/t Ag, from 48m. The mineralization was largely chalcocite (sulfide) and malachite (oxide) with associated higher-than-average silver compared to the main mineral resource at the Kombat mine and compared to the bornite and chalcopyrite copper sulfides predominant at the Kombat mine. Given the encouraging start, deeper drilling will now be undertaken to confirm if this pattern continues in the new area. Plan for Exploring 35km of the Copper King Extension: The broader exploration plan for the Kombat property encompasses an array of methodologies to comprehensively understand its geological potential. Phase 1 involves data compilation in 2D and 3D, supplemented by the acquisition and processing of government data. Subsequent phases entail the interpretation of gathered data to construct a full 3D geological model, augmented by a high-resolution magnetic survey using drones to refine structural geology insights. Moreover, soil sampling initiatives, including auger drilling, will cover the entirety of the property. More specifically, auger drilling will target the western region to penetrate the B horizon for representative soil samples, while the eastern side's challenging calcite cover may necessitate the use of small exploration drill rigs. This integrated approach underscores Trigon’s commitment to thorough exploration methodologies, positioning the Company for strategic advancement and value creation across its extensive mineral assets. Follow-up holes are anticipated to be drilled as soon as the programme resumes. 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 ICPOES 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). Aankondiging • Feb 15

Trigon Metals Inc. Updates on Progress for Underground Mining At Kombat, Namibia Trigon Metals Inc. provided an update on work on the establishment of the Kombat underground mine planned for early 2024. Dewatering the underground mine began in September 2023. Water levels have decreased 157m in the first month of piping and is on track to have the shaft fully dewatered by year-end. This will allow for mining to begin in the first half of 2024. In July and August 2023, Trigon installed two powerful (2.5MW) submersible pumps in the main shaft at Asis West, together with 7.2 MW of emergency backup generators to ensure uninterrupted power. The water pumped out of the mine is potable and piped into an open canal that feeds reservoirs near Windhoek, the capital of Namibia. An extensive hydrogeology study was completed to understand water related to the mine. The pumps have the capacity to remove in excess of 2,000 cubic metres per hour, sufficiently more than the total inflow when the mine is completely drained. The mining fleet for underground mining is expected to begin to arrive in December 2023, providing sufficient time to prepare stopes and train staff before the planned start-up. Aankondiging • Sep 29

Trigon Metals Inc. Produces Strong Copper Concentrate with High Recovery in Start-Up At Kombat Mine, Namibia Trigon Metals Inc. announced the production of its first copper concentrate. On August 18, 2023, the Company produced its first sale-ready dried copper concentrate for sale at the mill which has a capacity of 1,000 tonnes per day on August 21, 2023, the first full day of concentrate production, 436 tonnes of ore were processed through the mill (n nearly 44% of capacity) and the Company is targeting 70% production by the end of September. In the commissioning stage, the mill was purposely fed lower-grade material (average feed grade of 0.73% copper)ued from waste as identified by ore spotters. The utilization of low-grade feed makes the result stand out as more impressive, having produced a concentrate grade of 33.5% copper at recoveries of 79.5%. The resulting concentrate has exceeded the expected grade of 20%, and recoveries have the potential to improve with higher-grade feed. Higher-grade concentrate translates directly to higher profitability due to lower shipment and treatment charges per pound of copper produced. Stockpiles on the run-of-mine pad now total 27,000 tonnes of ore averaging close to 1.2% Cu, representing one month's supply of ore feed. Aankondiging • Aug 22

Trigon Metals Inc. Announces Drill Results from the East 600 Planned Open Pit, At the Kombat Mine in Namibia Trigon Metals Inc. announced 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 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. The company 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. The company anticipates mining rates will average 8,000t 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. The company 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 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 Inc. Announces Results from the Drilling of New Mineralization Targets at its Kombat Mine in Namibia Trigon Metals Inc. announced 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 Kavango West area, 150 metres west of the Main Kavango Pit, discussed in recent press releases, the implications being a favourable confirmation of the Kombat trend mineralization. The holes reported are from drilling testing gaps in the known mineralization previously thought to be barren. Holes 3, 4,9 and 15 are verification holes testing continuity between areas previously drilled. The results are some of the longest intercepts drilled from surface. Kavango West is a direct extension of the main body of the mineralization lying just west of the planned Kavango Pit closer to the mill and main shaft. The mineralization is proving to be higher grade but deeper than Kavango and Kavango North. From historical drilling, this connects to even larger bodies at depth and is close to underground workings. This area has been incorporated into the Company's underground mine plan. 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. 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 ICPOES 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). Aankondiging • Jan 20
