Last week, Trigon Metals Inc. (TM:TSXV) announced strong confirmatory drill results at its Kombat Mine in Namibia. The results are some of the best intercepts reported by the Company and are notably, at-surface. The highlight intercepts were 6.15% Cu over 18.0m and 5.56% Cu over 15.5m, across two different holes. The Company also highlighted that the de-watering of the underground is ahead of schedule and it is likely underground operations will commence in early Q2. These releases, combined with the pending production results from the open pit operation, should mark a significant milestone for the Company as it completes its pivot from a development company to a producer. We are maintaining our BUY rating and C$0.60/share target price on TM.
