Trigon Metals Commences Drilling at Moroccan Silver-Lead Project
Event summary
- Trigon Metals has initiated a 12-hole diamond drilling campaign at its Addana Project in southern Morocco, targeting up to 2,100 meters of total depth.
- The campaign focuses on two key areas: Antenna Hill (5 holes) and Addana Southwest (7 holes), with each hole targeting 150–200 meters.
- GeoSond Maroc has been contracted to conduct the drilling, with a core shack and field team already in place.
- The Addana Project covers 112 km² and is located near Akka, benefiting from established infrastructure and historic artisanal mining activity.
The big picture
Trigon Metals' drilling campaign at Addana aligns with Morocco's growing profile as a mining-friendly destination, particularly for precious metals. The project's strategic location near Africa's largest silver mine positions it favorably amid robust industrial and energy-transition demand for silver. Success here could further cement Trigon's footprint in the region, where it also holds the Kalahari Copperbelt Project in Namibia.
