TORONTO, October 5, 2020
Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM) (“Trigon” or the “Company”) is pleased 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 new ly identified area of mineralization , containing
evidence of historical mining - sample J10 retu rned 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 a lso 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”).

Jed Richardson, president and CEO of Trigon Metals , commente d, “We are very pleased with the new
results from Silver Hill which demonstrate that the mineralization extends beyond the area that was
initially identified . On the success of the sampling at J10 , the upcoming drilling program will target
this area in addition to testing down dip extensions from the mineralization identified by the previous
shallow drilling .”

Silver Hill Project Overview
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.

Trigon Metals Inc.
Trigon is a publicly traded Canadian exploration and development company with its core business focused
on copper and silver holdings in mine-friendly African jurisdictions. Currently the company has operations
in Namibia and Morocco. Namibia is one of the world’s most prospective copper regions, where Trigon
has substantial assets in place. The Company continues to hold an 80% interest in five mining licen ces in
the Otavi Mountainlands, an area of Namibia widely recognized for its high-grade copper deposits, where
the Company is focused on exploration and re -development of the previously producing Kombat mine.
The Company also recently finalized the acquisition of the Silver Hill project, a highly prospective copper
and silver exploration project in Morocco.
