Trilogy Metals Announces Date of the Annual Shareholders Meeting

March 29, 2022 - Vancouver, British Columbia – Trilogy Metals Inc. (TSX / NYSE American: TMQ) ("Trilogy Metals” or "the Company”) will hold the Company’s 2022 Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders (“AGM”) on Friday, May 13, 2022 at 10:00 am Pacific Time at the office of the Company, Suite 1150, 609 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia.

All current directors will stand for re-election at the AGM.  Other items of business include the approval of amendments to, and unallocated entitlements under, the Company’s Restricted Share Unit Plan (“RSU Plan”) and Deferred Share Unit Plan (“DSU Plan”).  The Company is asking shareholders to approve a change to the RSU Plan to remove the option for the Company to cash settle RSUs granted to Canadian resident directors due to potential Canadian tax restrictions.  The Company is asking shareholders to approve a change to the DSU Plan to allow directors to elect to receive up to 100% of their annual compensation in DSUs.  Both these amendments will provide the Company flexibility to pay our directors fees in the form of stock in an effort to preserve cash and build share ownership.  All of our directors have indicated a willingness to receive their entire 2022 compensation in equity.  The Company is also looking at other opportunities to reduce its cash spend for the year and will provide a further update when we release our quarterly financial results in April.

Shareholders as of the record date of March 16, 2022 (“Record Date”) will be eligible to vote at the AGM. The Company’s 2022 Management Information Circular, which contains information about all director nominees and the amendments to the RSU and DSU Plans was filed today and is now available to the public.  As always, we encourage you to vote your shares prior to the AGM.

No presentations or updates on the Company’s activities will be provided at the AGM.  The Company’s most recent investor presentation can be found on our website at www.trilogymetals.com.  Any investor who would like further information on the items of business at the AGM or the Company’s activities is welcome to contact us directly.
