Trilogy Metals Inc. has received federal investment to advance exploration and development of the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects in northwestern Alaska, leading to a $35 million 2026 program through its joint venture Ambler Metals LLC. The investment enables the company to strengthen advisory and leadership teams to drive project execution and deliver long-term shareholder value. The Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects are located within the Ambler Mining District, described as one of the richest and most-prospective known copper-dominant districts globally.
The Ambler Mining District hosts world-class polymetallic volcanogenic massive sulphide deposits containing copper, zinc, lead, gold and silver, along with carbonate replacement deposits with high-grade copper and cobalt mineralization. Exploration has focused on two primary deposits: the Arctic VMS deposit and the Bornite carbonate replacement deposit, both situated within approximately 190,929 hectares of land. Ambler Metals maintains an agreement with NANA Regional Corporation, Inc., an Alaska Native Corporation, establishing a framework for exploration and potential development in cooperation with local communities.
Trilogy Metals holds a 50% interest in Ambler Metals LLC, which maintains 100% interest in the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects. The joint venture partnership with South32 Limited, a globally diversified mining company, was formalized in December 2019 when South32 exercised its option for the 50/50 arrangement. The company's vision involves developing the Ambler Mining District into a premier North American copper producer while protecting subsistence livelihoods in the region.
