(NYSE American: TMQ) (TSX: TMQ) announced the expansion of its advisory and leadership teams following the Oct. 6, 2025, announcement of a US federal government investment to advance exploration and development of the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects (UKMP) in northwestern Alaska. The projects are held by Ambler Metals, the company’s 50/50 joint venture with South32 Limited. With permitting and project activity expected to accelerate at Ambler Metals, Trilogy is strengthening oversight of the joint venture as South32 increases its personnel commitment, while Ambler Metals recruits key management roles to support execution of its 2026 program.
Trilogy also announced the appointment of Egizio Bianchini as strategic advisor and additional management appointments, positioning the company to advance corporate development initiatives and progress toward closing the US government investment in the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects.

Trilogy Metals Inc. is a metal exploration and development company that holds a 50 percent interest in Ambler Metals LLC, which has a 100 percent interest in the UKMP in northwestern Alaska. On December 19, 2019, South32, a globally diversified mining and metals company, exercised its option to form a 50/50 joint venture with Trilogy. The UKMP is located within the Ambler Mining District, one of the richest and most-prospective known copper-dominant districts in the world. It hosts world-class polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits containing copper, zinc, lead, gold, and silver, and carbonate replacement deposits that have been found to host high-grade copper and cobalt mineralization.
Exploration efforts have focused on two deposits in the Ambler Mining District – the Arctic VMS deposit and the Bornite carbonate replacement deposit. Both deposits are located within a land package that spans approximately 190,929 hectares. Ambler Metals has an agreement with NANA Regional Corporation, Inc., an Alaska Native Corporation that provides a framework for the exploration and potential development of the Ambler Mining District in cooperation with local communities. Trilogy’s vision is to develop the Ambler Mining District into a premier North American copper producer while protecting and respecting subsistence livelihoods.
The US government investment underscores the strategic importance of domestic critical mineral supply chains, particularly for copper, which is essential for electrification and national security. By expanding its advisory and leadership teams, Trilogy aims to leverage this support to advance permitting and development timelines, potentially positioning the Ambler Mining District as a key source of domestic copper production. The appointments of experienced advisors and managers signal a heightened focus on corporate development and stakeholder engagement as the project moves toward the next phase.
