Figure 1: Map of Kombat Project
EPL 8529 is situated on the Kombat trend, the mineralized
structure on which the Kombat project is located, and covers an
area of 5,614 hectares in the Grootfontein District of the
Otjozondjupa Region, between the towns of Otavi to the west and
Grootfontein to the east.
From a geological perspective, the Licence represents a
potential strike extension of the Kombat project, with various
known mineral occurrences on the property. Trigon management has
extensive knowledge of the area and plans to implement an
exploration program in conjunction with its ongoing exploration
work on the Kombat project areas.
EPL 8529 is currently held by Namibian company, Otjiwa Mining
and Prospecting CC (“Otjiwa”) and is valid for a period of three
years from November 9, 2022 to November 8, 2025.
On January 30, 2023, Trigon, together with its Namibian
subsidiary, Trigon Mining (Namibia) (Pty) Ltd (“Trigon Namibia”)
entered into an agreement with Otjiwa for the acquisition of EPL
8529 (the “Agreement”). The purchase consideration for the Licence
comprises a cash price of N$1,750,000 (approximately C$135,449) and
N$250,000 (C$19,350) to be settled by the issuance of 84,129 Trigon
shares.
The Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions,
including approval from the Minister of Mines and Energy in Namibia
for the transfer of the Licence from Otjiwa to Trigon Mining and
the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Acquisition is an
arm’s length transaction.
Jed Richardson, President & CEO of Trigon Metals,
commented, “EPL8529 referred to as the Copper King Extension, is an
important part of the long-term future of the Kombat mine, the 35km
of prospective strike length has numerous copper showings that
Trigon is eager to test for potential economic deposits of
mineralization, When surface drilling for near term open pit
resources later this calendar year, drills will move to the new
targets on the Copper King.”
