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. Duyuru • Sep 18

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 2.2% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$2.0m free cash flow). Negative equity (-US$9.9m). Earnings have declined by 2.2% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m. Market cap is less than US$10m (CA$13.1m market cap, or US$9.48m).

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. New Risk • Jul 31

New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: CA$13.3m (US$9.73m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Negative equity (-US$27m). Market cap is less than US$10m (CA$13.3m market cap, or US$9.73m).

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. Duyuru • 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.

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. Reported Earnings • Aug 23

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. Duyuru • 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). Reported Earnings • Mar 04

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. Duyuru • 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. Duyuru • Aug 22

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 15% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings.

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.

Trigon Reports New High Grade Drill Results At Growing New Zone At Kombat Mine, Namibia Trigon Metals Inc. announces results from the drilling of new mineralization targets at Kombat Mine in Namibia. 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. 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. 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. Cross Section E400 Hole CenEast 00 and CenEast 00a CenEast 00 hole intercepted a wide zone of mineralization filling in an area thought to be an unmineralized gap previously. Hole CenEast 00A has been drilled and assays are pending. This hole shows the mineralization may be more continuous than previously thought. Location of Holes V01 and V03 in East 400 Program Area Verification holes V01 and V03 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. Cross section E400 Hole V01 Hole V01 is a verification hole testing a zone between two areas of known mineralization, verifying the continuity. Cross section E400 Hole V03 Hole V03 is another verification hole. It again tests an area outside of the known resource between two mineralized areas. The results represent one of the longer interceptions and shows mineralization almost right up to the contact between the dolomite host rock and the phyllite interior of the Otavi syncline the structural feature that defines the Kombat mineralization and the entire 35km trend controlled by Trigon. Drillcore from E400 Hole V03, again shows shiny golden-coloured chalcopyrite mineralization (copper mineral) throughout the drill core. 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. Revises Mine Plan to Optimize Production Based on New Information from Kavango Pit Mining, Namibia Trigon Metals Inc. announced revisions to its mine plan based on new information from mining the Kavango Open Pit. As planned, initial mining has begun in the area of the Kavango Pit. Management has noted marked improvements on grade control and recoveries, and are pausing operations to focus the mine plan on this type of mineralization to reduce mine wide operating costs at its Kombat Mine in Namibia. Trigon Metals has elected to pause operations at the Kombat Mine in Namibia to optimize its newly increased working capital by reconfiguring the mine plan to focus on higher grade and more consistent orebodies drilled in the Kavango pit and Kombat trend mineralization. As detailed in the update release dated July 7 (See Press Release “Trigon Provides Operational Update”), stripping and mining has begun in the Kavango pit. As anticipated, the mineralization in this area is of higher and more consistent grade. Owing to this new information, a decision has been made to optimize the mine plan. Management will now utilize the operational pause to focus the mine plan to exclusively operate from the Kavango pit and Kombat Trend mineralization, as compared to the original strategy which would have employed Kavango ore to supplement production from the central pit. The revised mining plan should dramatically improve operating costs at the mine. The move to take advantage of the higher grade and more consistent Kavango and Kombat trend mineralization should take operating costs down to $2.60-$2.80/lb of copper, from the $3.30-$3.50/lb forecasts from the original mining plan. During the production pause, drilling will continue on the Kombat Trend to build a new mine plan around the higher grade and more consistent mineralization discovered in this area. The central pit mineralization has proven more costly to mine, as the veinlet nature of the mineralization has made grade control difficult and costly to control. Mining in this area will be economic at higher copper prices and the company is also exploring ore sorting techniques to upgrade mill feed and reduce costs from the central pit. The pause will involve the retrenchment of a portion of the mine and mill staff for Trigon and the mine contractor. As a first target, the central pit mineralization was attractive due of its proximity to the mill and what appeared to be lower strip ratio, however, the nature of the mineralization has proven to be different than the main Kombat Trend. This appears to be the situation in Pit 1 (“Central Pit”) and Pit 4. Pits 2 and 3 (“East 900”) are on the Kombat Trend and do not have the challenges that Pit 1 and 4 have presented. The difference in the trends is a new understanding of the mineralization brought to the fore by the recent work on Pit 5 (“Kavango pit”). The addition of Pits 5 and 6, will give this iteration of the open pit the same four year mine life as the previous plan but at more favourable operating costs. The plan to commence mining from the open pit and gradually transition to underground ore beginning in 2024 remains unchanged. Duyuru • Jul 08
Trigon Metals Inc. Provides Operational Update At Kombat Mine in Namibia Trigon Metals Inc. provided the following operational update and review of mining performance, ore processing and copper concentrate shipments from its Kombat Mine in Namibia. The restart of the Kombat Mine has been a tremendous achievement for Trigon and its shareholders, as well as the Kombat community and country of Namibia. The mine employs 220 Namibians both directly and as contractors. An additional 80 women are employed on a part- time rotational basis as part of the Company's community garden agricultural development project. To date 1,103,312 tonnes of material have been mined including pre-stripping, 120,775 tonnes of ore have been mined at an average grade of 0.92% copper and 6.9 g/t silver.34,762 tonnes of ore grading 0.85% copper and 10.97 g/t silver have been fed into the mill and processed, producing 861.4 tonnes of concentrate grading 19.75% copper and 271.3 g/t silver. To date, 548 tonnes of concentrate have been shipped and revenue received. Through the start-up, the ore has been highly oxidized and the feed grade has been highly variable, resulting in the production of some low-quality concentrates. Through March and April, the processing plant team completed the final upgrade of the mill. The process included the installation of reagent dosing pumps to improve the accuracy of dosing as the reagent dosing had previously been erratic. Over this period, the plant also underwent a variety of upgrades with the aim of increasing plant capacity and reliability. Some of the key tasks completed include: Changing the secondary crusher 2 from obsolete 2.4kV spares to 525V supply to ensure reliability. Cleaning build-up from fines silos to increase available storage capacity. Improving ball mills feed chute distribution to ensure a stable flow. Changing the design of the bagging plant to ensure material of the correct consistency is bagged at the required rate to meet daily requirements. High oxidation and variability of the ore in the open pit mining blocks has slowed mining output. In February, mining moved to mining smaller benches and requiring a higher volume of samples including blast hole sampling to get control of grade. This was effective in April, with head grades averaging 1.7% well above the 1.0% target, but it slowed down mining, falling below the mill capacity. The primary problem was the cycle time for confirmation sampling. In June, a mobile XRF sampling team was created and deployed to the mining pit giving the mining team instant feedback and allowing mining speeds to increase. In addition, mining has begun in the Kavango pit a parallel structure to the Central pit where all of the ore has been sourced to date. The nature of the mineralization in the Kavango pit is more massive, larger higher grade mining blocks, that are expected to allow for higher mining output compared to stringy highly variable vein swarms mined in the Central pit. Currently, highly oxidized ore is being mined at Kavango as the team benches down to the sulphide ore. The mill should start receiving higher grade, high recovery ore from Kavango in the next two weeks. Duyuru • May 19
Trigon Metals Inc. Announces Results Form Drilled Holes in the East 900 Area Trigon Metals Inc. announced the delineation of a new area of mineralization referred to as the Central Pit southwest extension, and results from recently drilled holes in the East 900 area. The drilling is part of 10,000m planned programme aimed at resource definition and new exploration for the central license area at the Kombat Mine. Drilling Highlights: Central Pit SW Extension: C1DDT3-01 2 notable intercepts; [Azumith 359, Dip 55]: 4m @ 4.1% copper from 43m to 47m; And 4m @ 6.9% copper from 58m to 62m. C1DDT3-03 2 notable intercepts; [Azumith 360, Dip 55]: 17m @ 4.4% copper from 60m to 77m; and 3m @ 10.1% copper from 85m to 88m. East 900: E900-02 2 notable intercepts; [Azumith 80, Dip 27]: 8m @ 0.6% copper from surface to 8m; And 3m @ 1.5% copper from 11m to 14m. E900-06 5 notable intercepts; [Azumith 257, Dip 45]: 2m @ 2.0% copper from 12m to 14m, 2m @ 1.0% copper from 67m to 69m, 1m @ 1.1% copper from 70m to 71m, 2m @ 0.6% copper from 80m to 82m, And 3m @ 2.1% copper from 85m to 88m. Drilling at the Central Pit SW extension has outlined newly discovered mineralization that is expected to be incorporated into a mining plan that will result in expansion of the planned central pit. The results illustrate continuity of the mineralization with a structure that runs the length of the central pit. It is notable that the resources of the central pit and extension do not sit above the old mined out areas but occur north of the underground mining cap and, as such, have properties distinct to those found underground. East 900 is a highly prospective area with existing resources for open pit mining. Drilling continues in this area and to the east. Mineralization is very shallow and remains open in all directions. The exploration work is moving to the east on strike with main mine workings, as such this represents the greatest potential for an expansion of the current surface resource. East 900 is east of the historic mining at surface or underground and is on strike with the historic underground development, as such it appears to be very similar to the mineralized areas mined from underground.

Trigon Metals Inc. Reports Mineral Reserve and Updated Feasibility Study for the Kombat Open Pit Trigon Metals Inc. announced an updated National Instrument 43-101 compliant Mineral Reserve estimate and feasibility study for the open pit mine at the Kombat project in Namibia ("Kombat"). In 2018, the Company published a Mineral Reserve estimate for the Kombat open pit, together with a feasibility study on the open pit project. The Mineral Resource estimate for Kombat was updated in 2020 and again on August 3, 2021, based on the confirmatory resampling program undertaken in early 2021. At that time, as the updated Mineral Resource estimate differed from the estimate used for the 2018 feasibility study, the Company moved the Kombat open pit back to a Mineral Resource estimate stage, as the Mineral Reserves, technical, engineering and economic studies had to be redone to align with the updated Mineral Resources. The Indicated Mineral Resource estimate comprises 5.28Mt from the open pit, at a grade of 1.00% copper, and 6.93Mt from the underground at a grade of 2.66% copper. The Kombat open pit mine has a potential life of mine of 5 years, mining a total of 1.5Mt ore, at an average grade of 1.14% copper and 7.49 g/t silver. The total start-up capital for the Kombat open pits, including the refurbishment of the plant, is USD 10 million, including contingencies. All of the capital, excluding stay in business capital is spent in year 1, and the majority of this capital has already been spent in 2021 to date. The restart of the open pit mine at Kombat is reaching its final stages, with open pit mining having resumed in October 2021, in order to produce run of mine for the commissioning of the processing plant in December 2021. The refurbishment of the plant is almost complete with long lead equipment items currently being installed. The project remains on track for first production of copper concentrate in early 2022. The Company provides updated production forecasts based on the latest Mineral Resource and Reserve estimates for both the open pit and underground projects of 3,500 tons for 2022 (open pit only), increasing to 14,000 tons by 2024, with the re- commissioning of the underground mine and the doubling of the current capacity of the processing plant.

Trigon Metals Inc. Reports Significant Increase in Indicated Resources at Kombat Mine, Namibia Trigon Metals Inc. announces an updated NI 43-101 Mineral Resource estimate at the Kombat Mine in Namibia ("Kombat" or the "Project"). Combined open pit and underground Indicated Mineral Resources estimates have risen to 12.2 million tonnes at 1.94% copper, 13.65 g/t silver and 0.70% lead, as compared to the strictly open pit Indicated Mineral Resource estimate of 7.35 million tonnes at 0.91% copper, 0.58g/t silver and 0.88% lead announced. The updated Mineral Resource estimate is the culmination of 18 months of work, first mapping historical drilling and historic mine production in three dimensions, and the re-logging and assaying of 50 years of stored drill core. Work was able to confirm historic assay results for copper, and assay silver for the first time, converting 86.5% of the global resource to Measured and Indicated confidence level of an NI 43-101 Mineral Resource estimate. The Company used stricter criteria for calculating cut-off grades and removed the influence of lead when calculating the copper equivalent cut-off given the abundance of copper and silver mineralization, and the focus on profitable and sustainable production. The new criteria has the impact of increasing the copper grade in the open pit and limiting what qualifies as tonnes of estimated Mineral Resources. The result is a robust open pit and underground Mineral Resource estimate that is projected to deliver more than 20 years at planned production levels. Initially, lead will not be recovered when the open pit mining recommences as the preference is optimize the recovery of copper and silver, which are far more valuable throughout the mine-life. The presentation of these Mineral Resource estimates marks the first comprehensive estimation of silver grades at Kombat, generating an in situ Indicated Mineral Resource estimate of 5.3 million ounces of silver, a by-product to the contained 482 million pounds of in situ copper. Metallurgical testing and anticipated mine dilution provide for an estimated copper recovery of 85% and a silver recovery of 88%. The Mineral Resource Estimates were prepared and classified by Minxcon in accordance with the reporting guidelines as required by the Canadian Securities Administrators. The Qualified Person responsible for the declaration of the Mineral Resource Estimation is Mr. Uwe Engelman BSc (Zoo. & Bot.), BSc Hons (Geol.), Pr.Sci.Nat. Reg. No. 400058/08, MGSSA, who is a "qualified person" as such term is defined in NI 43- 101 and CIM definition standards.

Trigon Metals Inc. Announces That Procurement Activities of Long Lead Items Are Currently Underway for the Restart of Kombat Mine Trigon Metals Inc. announced that procurement activities of long lead items are currently underway for the restart of Kombat Mine. The company anticipates production to resume by the end of 2021. Management anticipates initial production at Kombat will be 6,000t of copper in concentrate for calendar year 2022, with initial mining beginning late 2021 accessing ore from open pit sources. Planned production will increase to 16,500t of copper in concentrate in 2024, when higher grade underground ore begins to be recovered and as planned upgrades to crushing and milling are incorporated. The company has completed an order to Xinhai (Yantai) Mining Engineering Co., Ltd, for the procurement of new flotation cells to replace those in the original mill. The equipment utilizes high functioning, top quality technology. Going forward, the ongoing partnership between Trigon and Xinhai will centre on its role as an equipment supplier. Trigon will not pursue a financing arrangement with Xinhai or utilize any Chinese export credit facilities at this stage, and will instead aim to secure purchaser debt finance for the restart with the help of concentrate off takers. According to the Company's 2018 Feasibility Study for the Kombat open pit restart, the upfront capital cost for the Project, which includes the costs of refurbishment of the processing plant, installation of power infrastructure and mobilization of the mining contractor is USD 6.4 million. At present, approximately 40% of that figure has been spent, and the company has realized some material cost savings. While much of the equipment from the old plant is in good working order, the Company has secured spares at low cost from other operations in Namibia. Duyuru • Feb 26

A trench has been completed on fresh rock below the saprolite. Continuous samples were collected horizontally along the wall of the trench returning 13 metres of 2.7% copper, 34.5 g/t silver and 82 ppm cobalt. The trench exposed an area of intense sub-vertical hydrothermal alteration, giving geologists a unique look at the nature of the mineralization. The trench is located 1.5km away from the S1 discovery hole, in an area first identified by surface grab sample, J10 reported 6.8% copper and 116 g/t silver. The zone was tested successfully with drill hole S9, 31 metres of 0.7% copper from 37 to 68 metres depth down the hole. Given the much higher grades in the trench, it now appears the original hole may not have penetrated the heart of the structure. The trench exposed some old mining works where the richest silver mineralization appears to have been previously mined out. Given the limitations of ancient mining techniques, it is view that the core of the structure at depth has not yet been investigated. Samples E14 and E15 are taken from the opposing wall of the trench avoiding the muddy fill from the mined-out area. Evidence around the site continues to point to silver being the focus of the ancient miners, suggesting the mined-out material may have been a high grade silver vein. Company geologists plan to target deeper in the structure where the vein may remain untouched, out of reach of ancient mining technology. The trench was 30m in total length ramping down to the target area and samples were taken some 5 metres below the surface level. It was all free digging material, completed with a diesel hydraulic shovel, at a width of 3.8 metres. A rock breaker was used for the final 1.5 metres. Is New 90 Day High Low • Feb 17

Trigon Metals Inc. Announces Assay Results from Hole S13, the First Hole of A Planned 3000 M Drill Campaign A Silver Hill Project in Morocco Trigon Metals Inc. announced assay results from hole S13, the first hole of a planned 3000 m drill campaign at the Company's Silver Hill Project in Morocco. An 8 m interval grading 1.8% copper and 121 g/t silver was intercepted at a depth of 32.5 m. Assay results included a 0.5 m interval of 14.87% copper, 1000 g/t silver and 173 ppm cobalt. Hole S13 is located at N 31°14'43,6"; W 004°46'53,3"; 70 degrees to N356, in the vicinity of Hole S1, which was drilled by Technomine (the previous owner of the Project) prior to Trigon's acquisition of the Project. The intent of Trigon's current drill program is to confirm the mineralization down-dip of the historic mined-out strike zone, identified by the drill program completed in November 2020 by Trigon. Additionally, it is hoped that this ongoing drill program will provide information as to the structural controls of the mineralization. Assay results are pending. During the last three weeks, 10 holes have been completed that targeted a structure believed to be the focus of historic mining, along 1.3 km of known strike length. The 0.5 m high grade interval mentioned above represents the high silver assay reported on the property. The exploration team is also designing a subsequent exploration program which will utilize geophysical survey results in order to identify new targets similar to the discovery at S9, drilled in the November 2020 program, which returned 31 m at 0.7% copper, at a depth of 37 m.

Trigon Metals Inc. Announces Results of an Initial Exploratory Drilling Program At Its Silver Hill Project in Morocco Trigon Metals Inc. announced the results of an initial exploratory drilling program at its Silver Hill project in Morocco. In order to increase the Company’s existing knowledge of the Project and to gain a better understanding of the local geology the Company drilled five diamond core holes, combined total length of 900 metres. In terms of this program, the Company drilled five diamond core holes (S8 " S12) with a total coverage of 900 metres, for the purposes of building on the Company’s existing knowledge of the project and gaining a better understanding of the local geology.
The current drill program focused on the southern area of the property, mainly to test the down dip potential of the initial S1 to S5 holes and also the potential strike connection between the shallow drill holes in the west and the surface grab samples in the east. Drill core was analyzed by AfriLab, an accredited laboratory in Marrakech. Duyuru • Oct 15

Trigon Metals Inc. Announces to Report Assay Results from Grab Samples Taken At the Company's Silver Hill Copper-Silver Project in Morocco Trigon Metals Inc. announced to report assay results from grab samples taken at the Company's Silver Hill copper-silver project ("the Project") in Morocco. Notably, surface sampling returned positive results from a newly identified area of mineralization, containing evidence of historical mining - sample J10 returned 112g/t silver and 6.80% copper. The new area is presumed to be an extension of the uppermost structure drilled and reported by Trigon on August 10, 2020. This result extends the known area of mineralization 1.2 km beyond the previous work, increasing the potential strike length to at least 2 km. The remainder of the work focused on the second structure that to date has reported higher grade copper and lower silver grades than the first structure (upper most structure). Work included sampling of outcrop on a road cut in the area, notably sample J2 returned 5.84% copper and 1 g/t silver. Samples were taken from walls of a historical adit, approximately 20 m from the entrance. Notable results include sample J3 with 5.04% copper and 24 g/t silver and sample J5 with 14.32% copper and 280 g/t silver. Waste piles outside of the adit were also sampled returning extraordinary copper results - J6 returned 12.40% copper and 32 g/t silver, and J9 returned 21.39% copper and 24 g/t silver. Samples were analyzed for silver and copper using Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy ("ICP-AES") prepared using four acid absorption in Marrakech, Morocco by African Laboratory for Mining and Environment ("AfriLab"). The Silver Hill Project is an 8 km2 property in the Anti-Atlas region of Morocco. The Project is located at a regional address well known for base metals occurrences in Morocco. Morocco has a mining history that spans in excess of 100 years and is well known for being a mining friendly jurisdiction. Preliminary surface exploration has revealed high-grade copper and silver mineralization distributed over a wide surface area. Slags from ancient workings indicate historical large-scale mining for silver. Duyuru • Oct 05
