Trigon Announces High Grade Copper Results From Drilling At Silver Hill, Morocco

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 20, 2021 / Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V:TM) ("Trigon" or the "Company") announces assay results from holes S16 through S21. The holes complete the westernmost fences drilled to test the geometry and extent of the mineralization at the Silver Hill project ("Silver Hill" or the "Project") in Morocco. The results comprise the second and third of four fences drilled at the Project.

Each of the holes demonstrated strong copper and silver mineralization. The most significant of the results was hole S20 showing 31 metres of 0.74% copper and 23 g/t silver with higher grade intervals. The hole is drilled at the western extent of the drilling of this campaign and suggests that mineralization remains strong.

Highlights

  • Hole S16: 10 metres @ 0.98% copper and 20 g/t silver
  • Hole S17: 3 metre @ 1.41% copper
  • Hole S20: 31 metre @ 0.74% copper and 23 g/t silver including:
    • 8 metre @ 1.35% copper and;
    • 6 metre @ 1.23% copper and 75 g/t silver

See Figure 1 below for detailed assay results from holes S16 -- S21

Jed Richardson, President and CEO of Trigon Metals, said, "Silver Hill continues to meet our highest expectations. The strength of these intercepts are particularly striking since they come at the western extent of our drilling. This firmly shows that the deposit remains open in all directions."

Drill core was analyzed by AfriLab, an independent SGS accredited laboratory in Marrakech. Trigon has completed the drilling of an additional fence, the results of which will be reported in the coming weeks. The Company is pleased with its progress, as geologists are attaining a more comprehensive understanding of the nature and size of the mineralization at the Project.
