VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - June 24, 2016) - TriMetals Mining Inc. (TSX: TMI) (TSX: TMI.B) (OTCQX: TMIAF) (OTCQX: TMIBF) (the "Company"), is pleased to announce that trenching at the Thor vein system started on June 20 as planned, following the required bird survey. First results should be available by late July.

As noted in the previous press release, the trenches are designed to expose the vein systems in the Thor area which contain multi-gram samples as previously reported. Surface and drill samples from the Thor, Dee, Brown, and Lower vein systems have returned values as high as 23.35 g/t Au and 252.9 g/t Ag, with numerous samples in the +3.0 g/t Au range (See NR 16-04 dated March 1, 2016 and NR 16-09 dated May 3, 2016). With this trenching program, TMI will be able to better understand these systems and potentially expose additional veining in areas of post-mineral cover.

Ralph Fitch, CEO, stated, "We are excited to start trenching at the Thor, already the backhoe is uncovering vein material below shallow cover. Assay results from this work will guide our future drilling which is planned to follow the trenching program."
