Trilogy Metals Inc. (NYSE American: TMQ) (TSX: TMQ) Committed to Responsible Development as Momentum Builds in the Ambler Mining District

Trilogy Metals Inc. (NYSE American: TMQ) (TSX: TMQ) committed to responsible development as momentum builds in the Ambler Mining District. Disseminated on behalf of Trilogy Metals Inc. (NYSE American: TMQ) (TSX: TMQ) and may include paid advertising. * Trilogy Metals, through its Ambler Metals joint venture, continues a community-focused approach towards the development of Alaska's Ambler Mining District * The company operates at the intersection of Alaska Native partnership, environmental stewardship, and critical mineral supply chain needs * These efforts demonstrate the company's focus on fostering strong partnerships, supporting local priorities, and advancing responsible modern mining practices Trilogy Metals (NYSE American: TMQ) (TSX: TMQ) remains a key participant in Alaska's responsible resource development as more attention is being given to the Ambler Access Project - the proposed 211-mile, industrial-use-only road connecting the Dalton Highway to the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects held by Ambler Metals (Trilogy's 50/50 joint venture with South32). With the American government focusing more on securing critical mineral supply chains and Alaska quickly establishing itself as a key location, the company is demonstrating how large-scale resource development can be achieved through the right partnerships and environmental safeguards. Trilogy's work in the Ambler Mining District is a product of several years of community consultations, environmental baseline studies, and cultural impact assessments, which have helped it earn a reputation as one of the most studied undeveloped mineral regions in America today. Responsible mineral development is a long-term process that begins well before any mine is built. These processes start with a thorough understanding of the ecosystems, ensuring that local communities help shape the future and that Alaska Native subsistence and ways of life are respected and accommodated. For over ten years, Trilogy has closely worked with NANA Regional Corporation, as well as local villages, to align project decisions with workforce development, cultural priorities, and long-term economic prospects. Trilogy's project development strategy encompasses community support through training programs, skilled jobs, and future revenue streams that remain within the region. With the right-of-way permits reinstated for the Ambler Access Road, Trilogy consistently highlights its commitment to being a responsible and forward-thinking partner in Alaska. For Trilogy, this road is not just an infrastructure for mining, but also a unique opportunity to bring socio-economic benefits to remote communities that have hitherto been underserved, while also including environmental measures to limit community impacts. The company's strategy underscores a strong belief that America's mining future depends on integrity, trust, and a willingness to capitalize on the vast opportunities in the sector.
