TORONTO, April 24, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM, OTCQB: PNTZF) ("Trigon" or the "Company") announces that it will be holding its annual and special meeting of common shareholders on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. ET (the "Meeting") to, among other matters, vote on the proposed sale of the Company’s ownership interest in the Kombat Mine to Horizon Corporation Limited (the "Proposed Transaction").
Trigon and Horizon are in the final stages of negotiation the definitive share purchase agreement (the "SPA") that will govern the Proposed Transaction and the parties expect to be able to execute the SPA in the coming days. Please see the Company's press releases dated February 11, 2025 and April 2, 2025 for additional details regarding the Proposed Transaction. The Company will provide further updates as the Proposed Transaction advances. The completion of the Proposed Transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals, including TSX Venture Exchange approval, Trigon shareholder approval, third-party consents, and other customary closing conditions.
The Proposed Transaction is expected to transition Trigon from an under-capitalized operator to a well funded exploration company. This positions Trigon to focus on the full-scale advancement of its copper and silver exploration projects in Morocco, and the Kalahari Copper Project in Namibia. If approved, the Proposed Transaction will provide Trigon with the financial flexibility and capital necessary to aggressively pursue development activities at its Silver Hill, Addana and Kalahari projects, with no additional dilution to shareholders.
Jed Richardson, Executive Chairman and CEO of Trigon, commented:
"With visibility to approximately up to US$40M in payments plus a potentially lucrative royalty, this is an opportunity to concentrate our efforts where we see the highest growth potential and strongest returns, and return some capital to our shareholders over time. We are excited about what lies ahead."
A package including the management information circular, which will describe the terms of the Proposed Transaction and additional details of the Meeting, will be mailed to Trigon shareholders of record as of May 6, 2025. The mailout will also include a link to download the Proposed Transaction Information Packet from the Trigon website.
