regrets to announce that a fatality has occurred in underground

friends, and our other employees and workers at Perkoa, is a
priority for Trevali and the Company will work closely with its
contractors to ensure that support and counselling services are
available as required.

accident and extend our sincere condolences to the miner’s family,
friends and colleagues," stated Dr. Mark Cruise, Trevali's

Company and we will ensure this accident is fully investigated and
any key learnings shared with all of the Trevali operations."
