Trevali Establishes Automatic Share Purchase Plan

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 23, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trevali Mining Corporation ("Trevali" or the "Company") TVTVTREVF4TI)) today announced that, in connection with its previously announced normal course issuer bid ("NCIB") to purchase up to 40,000,000 of its common shares ("Common Shares"), it has entered into an automatic share purchase plan ("ASPP") with its designated broker. The ASPP is intended to allow for the purchase of Common Shares under the NCIB at times when Trevali would ordinarily not be permitted to purchase shares due to regulatory restrictions and customary self-imposed blackout periods.

Pursuant to the ASPP, before entering into a blackout period, the Company may, but is not required to, instruct the designated broker to make purchases under the NCIB in accordance with the terms of the ASPP. Such purchases will be determined by the designated broker at its sole discretion based on purchasing parameters set by Trevali in accordance with the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX"), applicable securities laws and the terms of the ASPP. The ASPP has been pre-cleared by the TSX and implemented as of September 20, 2019, and will terminate on the earliest of the date on which: (i) the purchase limit under the NCIB has been reached; (ii) the NCIB expires; and (iii) the Company terminates the ASPP in accordance with its terms.

Outside of pre-determined blackout periods, Common Shares may be purchased under the NCIB based on management's discretion, in compliance with TSX rules and applicable securities laws. The NCIB commenced on November 19, 2018 and ends on November 18, 2019. All purchases made under the ASPP will be included in computing the number of Common Shares purchased under the NCIB.
