Trilogy Metals Inc. (NYSE American: TMQ) (TSX: TMQ) announced senior management appointments at its 50/50 joint venture with South32 Limited, Ambler Metals LLC, which is advancing the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects in Alaska’s Ambler Mining District. The appointments strengthen Ambler Metals’ technical, financial and permitting leadership as it advances exploration drilling, community engagement, feasibility planning and expedited federal permitting under FAST-41, positioning the venture to support near-term milestones and progress toward an investment decision on the Arctic Project.
Michael Galicki has been named Vice President, Exploration; Cole Schaeffer Vice President, Human Resources, Community and Partnerships; Jenna Tan Vice President, Finance; and Ron Rimelman Senior Director, Permitting.

The appointments come at a pivotal time for the project, as the joint venture seeks to advance through feasibility studies and permitting processes. The FAST-41 expedited permitting program is designed to streamline federal reviews, potentially accelerating the timeline toward a construction decision. The company’s vision is to develop the Ambler Mining District into a premier North American copper producer while respecting subsistence livelihoods.
Trilogy Metals holds a 50% interest in Ambler Metals LLC, which owns 100% of the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects. The joint venture operates under an agreement with NANA Regional Corporation, Inc., supporting responsible exploration and development in cooperation with local communities.
