Alaska's Ambler Mining District Positioned to Address U.S. Critical Mineral Supply Gap

The United States faces a widening critical mineral supply gap as global demand for mineral independence accelerates, with electrification, national security, and energy transition priorities intensifying the need for domestic production. The world's largest copper producers are increasingly concentrated outside North America, raising concerns about long-term supply reliability as policymakers emphasize reshoring of critical minerals. Attention is turning to districts with the potential to anchor multi-decade domestic production, with Alaska's Ambler Mining District emerging as one of the most compelling opportunities.

Trilogy Metals Inc. (NYSE American: TMQ) (TSX: TMQ) is exploring some of the most prospective ground in Alaska's Ambler Mining District, a region hosting world-class copper-rich volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits. The Ambler Mining District represents one of the last underexplored volcanogenic massive sulphide belts in North America, with only approximately 200,000 meters drilled along a 100 km trend, indicating significant untapped potential. Recent federal decisions, including a Trump-era presidential decree, have de-risked the Ambler Access Road that leads to the district, positioning the Arctic and Bornite projects for development.

Through Ambler Metals, a joint venture with South32, Trilogy Metals is working to advance a district-scale opportunity comparable to historic mining camps like Noranda and Flin Flon. The company maintains its newsroom at https://ibn.fm/TMQ where investors can access the latest updates. The development comes at a critical time as America's growing need for domestic copper supply becomes increasingly apparent, with the concentration of global copper production outside North America creating potential vulnerabilities in supply chains essential for electrification and national security priorities.
