Exciting Developments at Kombat Mine
Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM, OTCQB: PNTZF) is thrilled to provide updates from their latest underground drilling activities at Shaft 1 of the Kombat Mine. This significant drilling was conducted on levels 3 and 5 and has revealed impressive results that exceed initial expectations. The objective of this drilling was primarily to confirm previous findings, yet the outcomes not only reaffirm the quality of the ore but also expand the known mineralization within the region.
Highlighted Results from Level 3 Drilling
The drilling at Level 3, located about 105 meters from the surface, shows a promising picture. Among the noteworthy intersected samples:
KWO-217: This hole has revealed a remarkable intersection of 5 metres at an incredible grade of 11.21% Cu and 117.89 g/t Ag.
KWO-218: Another promising hole, KWO-218, recorded 8 metres at 2.55% Cu and 18.65 g/t Ag.
KWO-221: Lastly, KWO-221 demonstrated significant mineralization with 9 metres at 3.93% Cu and 56.13 g/t Ag.
Discoveries from Level 5 Drilling
At Level 5, approximately 120 metres from the surface, additional drilling results complement the successes seen at Level 3:
KWO-194: Here, 2 metres were intercepted, revealing a grade of 4.36% Cu and 22.27 g/t Ag.
KWO-198: This hole recorded 4 metres with a grade of 2.83% Cu and 49.75 g/t Ag.
Insight from the Team
Jed Richardson, CEO and Executive Chairman of Trigon Metals, expressed his enthusiasm about the findings: "With over 45 years of mining history at Kombat, we are continually surprised by the discovery of new high-grade ore, even near older developments. There is vast untapped value yet to be recognized in our market valuation."
Dr. Andreas Rompel, Trigon’s VP Exploration, added, "The grades we are identifying excite us greatly as they align with our anticipations that mineral grades will enhance with depth. The combination of increasing ore quality and the current surge in copper prices instills us with confidence for the future of this mine."
Quality Assurance in the Drilling Process
The integrity of these sample assay results is ensured through a robust quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program that adheres to rigorous standards. The core samples were processed at the independent laboratory, African Laboratory Specialists Namibia (ALS), which is also located within Kombat. The preparation employed ASTM protocols to maintain high-quality standards in the sampling process.
Overview of Company Standards
Dr. Andreas Rompel, the Company’s qualified person under National Instrument 43-101, reviewed and approved this vital scientific and technical information, emphasizing the importance of robust methodologies used in obtaining these results. This oversight ensures that the results align with industry standards and provide stakeholders with reliable data.
Understanding the Future Potential
The results from these recent drilling activities not only indicate the richness of the Kombat Mine but also signal an optimistic outlook for Trigon Metals Inc. With an ongoing commitment to exploration and sustainable mining practices, Trigon aims to capitalize on its resource potential while delivering value to its shareholders. The company remains focused on enhancing its operational capacities and exploiting the existing mineral resources more effectively.
