TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / September 22, 2021 / Trigon Metals Inc. (TSXV:TM) ("Trigon" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Tulela Mining & Construction CC ("Tulela"), the open pit mining contractor for its Kombat Mine in Namibia, has commenced with mining establishment at site.

Tulela has established an operational base at the Kombat site, including the refurbishment of offices and workshops, and has commenced with the delivery of mining equipment to site, including a dozer and a drill rig. In the upcoming weeks, initial work will include clearing of topsoil and training of employees, with open pit mining on track to commence by October 2021.

Tulela is a Namibian owned and operated company with extensive open pit operating experience in sub-Saharan Africa, and a strong knowledge of the area in which the Kombat Mine is situated.

Jed Richardson, President and CEO of Trigon, commented, "Activities at site continue to ramp up on a daily basis. We are excited to get started with the mining side of the operations now that the plant is already well on track to meet production timelines."

About Kombat Mine

The Kombat Copper Project is the flagship project of Trigon Metals Inc., with the Company's mining and prospecting licence areas covering an area of more than 7,500 ha in the Otavi Mountainlands in Namibia. The Kombat Project is comprised of three mining licences, which produced approximately 12.46 million tonnes of copper between 1962 and 2008, at a grade of 2.62%.
