Trilogy Metals Reports: Initial Drilling on the Bornite Project Continues to Expand High-Grade Copper System

Trilogy Metals Inc. (TSX, NYSE-MKT: TMQ) (“Trilogy Metals” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce initial high-grade copper results from this summer’s exploration diamond drilling program at the Bornite Project, a part of the Company’s Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects (“UKMP”) located in the Ambler mining district of Northwest Alaska.
As quoted in the press release:

Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse, President and CEO of Trilogy Metals commented, “The initial three step-out holes at Bornite demonstrate that high grade copper mineralization continues to the north and east of previously drilled resources as shown in Figure 1.  Specifically, these three holes offset mineralization previously intersected in hole RC13-224 which intersected 236-meters of 1.9% copper.  We are also seeing significant cobalt mineralization occurring as the mineral carrollite and associated with one or more stages of pyrite – particularly in the higher grade copper zones with bornite and chalcocite. More geochemical and metallurgical work is planned for the cobalt.  As the Grade x Thickness Map shows in Figure 2, we have now traced the mineralized system over an area measuring approximately 2,500 meters by 1,500 meters within which we are consistently intersecting zones 100 to 200 meters thick and containing 1% to 3% copper.  Our drill program is demonstrating that the Bornite mineralized system remains strong and shows no signs of letting up as we continue to drill on trend to the north and east.  In addition, we are starting to see new structural trends and controls on the axis of high grade mineralization along a northwest vector.  A recently completed detailed Gravity Survey is showing some very promising results and we will be integrating that information into our future targeting. We have six more holes to report on between now and mid-November and we have added a fourth drill rig to complete our planned program.  We will continue to report results as they become available.”
