Item 1A. Risk
Factors
Trilogy and its future business, operations
and financial condition are subject to various risks and uncertainties due to the nature of its business and the present stage
of exploration of its mineral properties and the formation of the joint venture. Except as set forth below, certain of these risks
and uncertainties are under the heading “Risk Factors” under Trilogy’s Form 10-K dated February 13,
2020 which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com , EDGAR at www.sec.gov and on our website at www.trilogymetals.com.
The outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19)
may affect our operations.
The Company faces risks related to health
epidemics and other outbreaks of communicable diseases, which could significantly disrupt its operations and may materially and
adversely affect its business and financial conditions.
The Company’s business could be
adversely impacted by the effects of the coronavirus or other epidemics. In December 2019, a novel strain of the coronavirus
emerged in China and the virus has now spread to several other countries, including Canada and the U.S., and infections have been
reported globally. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts the Company’s business, including exploration and development
activities at Ambler Metals and the market for its securities, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain
and cannot be predicted at this time, and include the duration, severity and scope of the outbreak and the actions taken to contain
or treat the coronavirus outbreak. In particular, the continued spread of the coronavirus and travel and other restrictions established
to curb the spread of the coronavirus, could materially and adversely impact the Company’s business including without limitation,
the planned exploration programs at Ambler Metals during the 2020 field season, employee health, workforce productivity, increased
insurance premiums, limitations on travel, the availability of industry experts and personnel, the timing to process drill and
other metallurgical testing, and other factors that will depend on future developments beyond the Company’s control, which
may have a material and adverse effect on the its business, financial condition and results of operations.
There can be no assurance that the Company's
personnel will not be impacted by these pandemic diseases and ultimately see its workforce productivity reduced or incur increased
medical costs or insurance premiums as a result of these health risks.
In addition, a significant outbreak of
coronavirus could result in a widespread global health crisis that could adversely affect global economies and financial markets
resulting in an economic downturn that could have an adverse effect on the demand for precious metals and our future prospects.
