Trigon Metals Provides Progress Update on Silver Hill Project, Morocco
Trigon Metals Provides Progress Update on Silver Hill Project, Morocco
Toronto, Canada – September 29, 20 21 – Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX -V: TM) (“Trigon” or the
“Company”) is pleased to provide a progress update on work at the Company’s Silver Hill project in
Morocco (“Silver Hill” or the “Project”) . Following the conclusion of drilling in early 2021, the
Company has been working to advance the Project in preparation for a resumption of drilling
planned for December 2021. Work has focused on mapping and remote sensing, identifying
signatures for mineralization in the drilled discovery area, and the new hydrothermal vent
mineralization discovered in the high -grade trench, 1.5km from the discovery zone. The Company
also welcomes Mr. Jed Diner, P.Geo to the team to strengthen its exploration team in Morocco.
The Company has completed a detailed topographic survey of the entire exploitation permit with
an aerial drone survey to p rovide an accurate geographical framework to input completed and
future drilling. The survey is expected to enable the production by the Company of more accurate
maps, cross-sections and DTM (Digital Terrain Models).
Geochemical sampling work continues at site. To date, work has focused on the area of the trench
with collection of some 240 samples around the area that exposed the high -grade hydrothermal
vent mineralization. The t rench return ed 13 metres of 2.7% copper, 34.5 g/t silver and 82 ppm
cobalt (See press release dated February 24, 2021). The soils from this area for marker minerals can
be used to identify extensions to the mineralization on the Project permit area and the adjacent
claims. Trigon has under application over 14km of potential strike length that shows evidence of
similar hydrothermal mineralization. Trigon has priority over the claims but is awaiting official
granting by the regional mineral commission. Information gleaned from this sampling program
could generate a powerful exploration tool that can be applied regionally.
A detailed ground geophysical survey is planned for the discovery drilling area, the hydrothermal
high-grade trench and the adjoining areas in the coming weeks. Electromagnetic (EM) surveying will
be employed. Given the nature of the mineralization , this method is expected to generate an
interesting signature that will be compiled with geochemical results, geology, and drilling results .
The work is intended to help focus drilling planned for December 2021, looking to identify a
potentially mineralized connection between high grade copper and silver drilled in the discovery
zone and the trench mineralization 1.5km away. If the mineralization is directly connected, it could
translate into over 2km of richly mineralized strike -length, evidencing a large-scale deposit. The
survey may also determine that the structures do not connect, and though related may run parallel
to each other, a result that could be interpreted as more favourable.
Trigon is pleased to welcome Mr. Jed Diner, P.Geo to its team. He will oversee exploration activities
at Silver Hill. Mr. Diner has worked as a consulting geologist on a wide variety of precious and base
metals projects for more than 35 years. He brings extensive experience working in Africa. He holds
a B.Sc in Geology and Earth Science from Hebrew University and a M.Sc in Applied Earth Science
from Stanford Un iversity. Mr. Diner brings a wealth of exploration experience strengthening the
Company’s on the ground team.
