Drilling Results From The Sunshine Prospect

VANCOUVER, BC - Trilogy Metals Inc. reported the second and final set of assay results from this summer’s exploration diamond drilling program at the Sunshine prospect, which is part of the Company’s Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects located in the Ambler mining district of Northwest Alaska. The Company also is pleased to provide an update on the permitting of the Ambler Mining District Industrial Access Project (AMDIAP) otherwise known as the Ambler Road. Based on the Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) geophysical survey that we completed this past spring over the Ambler volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) belt and from historical drilling, the most recent drilling targeted the Sunshine prospect, which is approximately eight miles (13 kilometers) from the Arctic Project.The assay results from five drill holes from the Sunshine prospect comprise 1,196 meters of the 1,357-meter six-hole drill campaign at this prospect.

James Gowans, Interim President and CEO, said, “The grades and widths of mineralization found at the Sunshine prospect are very similar to what we see at the Arctic project and I expect that with more drilling that we can delineate more mineralization at Sunshine. I also note that the Sunshine prospect is just one of dozens of prospects found within the 70-mile (100 kilometer) long Ambler VMS Belt which has the potential to be one of the most prolific mining districts in the world.”

At Sunshine, the Company drilled six holes comprising 1,357 meters. In September the Company released the results from drill hole SC19-019 which contained copper-zinc-lead-gold-silver mineralization. The Sunshine prospect lies within a north-facing alpine cirque west of the Shungnak River and just south of the eastward flowing Sunshine Creek.The Ambler VMS-style mineralization was discovered by Bear Creek Mining Company in 1969 and is exposed on an east trending ridge.The rock units exposed are typical of the Ambler Schist sequence that hosts the Arctic deposit and include quartz +/- feldspar and chlorite schist, graphitic and graphitic quartz schist, marble and calcareous schist.Massive and semi-massive sulphide mineralization, consisting of chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, and tetrahedrite/tennantite, occurs in 0.1 meter to 8-meter bands generally at a contact between graphitic and calcareous schist.

The drill program, sampling protocol, and data verification were managed by qualified persons employed by the Company. Diamond drill holes were typically collared and drilled to depth HQ for the Sunshine holes. Samples were collected using a 0.2-meter minimum length, a 2.5-meter maximum length and a 1.5-meter average sample length. Drill core recovery averaged 95% for Sunshine core. Three quality control samples (one blank, one standard and one duplicate) were inserted into each batch of 20 samples. The drill core was sawn, with half sent to ALS Minerals in Fairbanks for sample preparation and the sample pulps forwarded to ALS's North Vancouver facility for analysis.
