[{"type":"text","content":"TORONTO / May 04, 2023 / Business Wire / Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM; OTCQB: PNTZF) (“Trigon” or the “Company”) announces 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. Highlights of the Drill Results Hole 3 (180 azimuth, -76.4 dip) - 10m, 2.07%Cu, from 53m - 3m, 1.24%Cu, from 71m Hole 4 (180 azimuth, -58 dip) - 6m, 2.65%Cu, from 57m Hole 9 (0 azimuth, -55 dip) - 9m, 2.59%Cu, from 60m Hole 15 (351 azimuth, -55 dip) - 6m, 2.93%Cu, from 61m 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. Jed Richardson, Trigon’s President and CEO, commented, “I am very pleased with the progress made by the Trigon team. The work has exceeded our initial expectations and we are ahead of schedule. Crews have moved to the open pit. Free dig material around the pit is already being moved. Holes are being drilled and charges are being set for Tuesday, May 9, 2023, a week ahead of the previously projected first blast of May 16, 2023.” 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.
