TORONTO, Oct. 01, 2018 -- Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM) (“Trigon” or the “Company”) has closed its previously announced

non-brokered private placement financing (the “Offering”). The Company issued 3,233,330 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.15

per Unit for gross proceeds of $485,000. Each Unit is comprised of one common share of Trigon (a “Share”) and one common

share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Share at a price of $0.25 for a

period of 36 months following the closing date of the Offering.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for initial project mobilization at the Kombat Mine, and for

working capital and general corporate purposes.

Closing of the Offering remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company did not pay any

finder’s fees in connection with the Offering.

Certain directors and officers of Trigon acquired a portion of the Offering, and their participation (the “Insider Participation”) is

considered to be a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”). The Insider

Participation is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101.
