Trilogy Metals Starts Bornite Exploration Drilling

Trilogy Metals Inc. (TSX, NYSE-MKT: TMQ) (“Trilogy Metals” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the start of the exploration field season for the Bornite project.  Trilogy Metals’ 80-person camp, located at the Company’s Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects in northwest Alaska, has opened for the summer field season.  The Company has engaged Tuuq Drilling, a NANA company, in partnership with Major Drilling International Inc., to execute the 12,000-meter exploration drilling program at the Bornite project.
As quoted in the press release:

“This is an exciting year for Trilogy Metals,” says Rick Van Nieuwenhuyse, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “We have waited three long years to be able to come back and drill at Bornite.  With the support of South32, we will be drilling 12,000 meters at Bornite this field season to test the extent of our impressive drill holes from our 2013 drill campaign.  The Bornite resource is already 6 billion pounds of copper and the deposit remains open with 100 metre to +200 metre thick zones of 1% to 2% copper mineralization drilled along a 1 Km wide front.  We look forward to releasing drill results as they are made available and updating the resource once we have completed the drill program.”
