Trigon Metals Provides Update Regarding the Timing of the Name Change

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trigon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: TM, OTCPK: PNTZF) (the “Company”) announces that further to its press release dated April 1, 2026, Corporations Canada has advised the Company that due to a backlog in Corporations Canada’s system there is a delay with processing the Company’s application to complete a short-form vertical amalgamation between the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Safi Silver Corp. (the “Amalgamation”) and the concurrent name change to “Safi Silver Corp.” (the “Name Change”). The Company filed its application for the Amalgamation and the Name Change well in advance of April 1, 2026 and is disappointed in the unexpected delay. Corporations Canada has confirmed to the Company that the Amalgamation and Name Change will be effective April 1, 2026 once the applications are processed.

The Company’s common shares will not begin trading under the name “Safi Silver Corp.” and the “SF” ticker until the Amalgamation and Name Change applications are approved by Corporations Canada and the TSX Venture Exchange approves the Amalgamation and Name Change. Trigon will provide an update once the revised trading date has been established.
