(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”). These 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), extending the Kombat trend mineralization. Highlights of the Drill Results Hole 2A (181 azimuth, -71.8 dip) - 8m at 1.10% copper 94-102m Hole 2B (172.7 azimuth, -58.8 dip) - 9m at 0.9% copper 9-18m and, - 11m at 0.9% copper 68-79m Hole 4A (184 azimuth, -43.2 dip) - 5m at 3.98% copper and 8.7 g/t silver 44-49m Hole 4B (172 azimuth, -49.4 dip) - 17m at 1.0% copper and 15.50 g/t silver 0-17m The holes reported are from drilling testing gaps in the known mineralization previously thought to be barren. Holes 2A, 2B, 4A and 4B 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, “Surface drilling continues for the Kombat open pit, we continue to be pleased with grades and the length of the intercepts in this area of our planned pit. We have completed all of the targeted holes for the mine plan for open pit restart scheduled to commence next quarter. We will announce the additional holes as those results become available. The final data is being collected and work has commenced on the mine plan, however, exploration drilling will continue as drills move to test new areas at surface.” 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.
