Trigon Metals Inc. Announces Consolidation and Engagement of ICP Securities Inc. for Automated Market-Making Services

Trigon currently has 217,873,600 Common Shares issued and outstanding and, following the Consolidation, will have approximately 43,574,720 Common Shares outstanding. The change in the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares that will result from the Consolidation will not materially affect any shareholder's percentage ownership in Trigon, although such ownership would be represented by a smaller number of Common Shares. A letter of transmittal will be sent by mail to shareholders advising that the Consolidation has taken effect and instructing shareholders to surrender the certificates evidencing their Common Shares for replacement certificates representing the number of Common Shares to which they are entitled as a result of the Consolidation. Until surrendered, each certificate will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of Common Shares to which the holder thereof is entitled as a result of the Consolidation.

The Consolidation was approved by the shareholders of Trigon at the annual and special meeting held on April 9, 2024. Further details regarding the Consolidation are contained in the Company's information circular dated March 11, 2024, which has been filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

The Consolidation remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
