Mexican Gold Mining Corp. (the “Company” or “Mexican Gold") (TSXV:
MEX) is pleased to announce that a 10,000 meter drill program is
underway at Las Minas, designed to follow up on the discovery made
in 2019 at the Cinco Senores Vein target, as well as to test 3
other high priority exploration targets at the project.
Additionally, expansion and upgrade drilling is planned to optimize
the current resource at El Dorado for inclusion in the upcoming
Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”).
Highlights:
- On July 1, drilling began at Las Minas to follow up on the new
gold discovery made in 2019 at the Cinco Senores Vein target (5.2m
of 8.7 g/t gold from 114m, including 2m of 21.37 g/t gold,
estimated 85% true-width).
- Exploration drilling will test the Changarro gold target for
the first time and follow-up on exciting results at both the Cinco
Senores Skarn and Las Minillas targets.
- Expansion and upgrade drilling is planned to optimize the
current resource at El Dorado for inclusion in the upcoming PEA
Study.
- As detailed in a press release on June 9, 2020, CTA has now
completed fieldwork for an environmental baseline study of the Las
Minas project area.
- An expanded and enhanced metallurgical study is in process with
ALS Laboratories in Kamloops, BC, and an airborne LiDAR survey is
scheduled for the week of July 6 with LiDAR America of Ventura,
CA
“We are excited to follow up on last year’s
discovery of the Cinco Senores Vein target, where the Company
intersected 2m of 21.37 g/t gold in a new zone. This discovery
demonstrates the well-endowed nature of Las Minas and the potential
for opening up another area of significant gold mineralization at
the project. At the same time, we will be drilling brand new
targets at Changarro, Cinco Senores Skarn, and Las Minillas,
as well as drilling at El Dorado for resource expansion and
upgrading. Mexican Gold’s 43-101 resource estimate published in
October 2019 demonstrates a robust resource that will form the
basis of our upcoming PEA Study,” stated Philip O’Neill, Chief
Executive Officer.
Drilling Program
Mexican Gold has begun its 2020 diamond drilling
program which will include 10,000m of both resource and exploration
drilling. Kluane Drilling Ltd, has been retained for this
program.
A focus of the 2020 drilling is to expand and
upgrade the current resource at El Dorado, which remains open in
multiple directions. There are also several satellite intersections
which may tie into the main resource area. Careful study of
resource models is being used to optimize the results of this
drilling for the upcoming PEA Study.
Drilling will also follow up the November 2019
discovery at Cinco Senores in hole LM-19-CS-13. At 114m vertical
depth, a 5.2m shallow-dipping, pyrite-rich quartz vein was
intersected which assayed 8.94 g/t gold, including 21.37 g/t gold
over 2m. The true widths of the intersections are estimated to be
85% of the down-hole lengths. Drilling in 2020 will attempt to
define the previously unknown veining and intersect further strong
gold values.
Fieldwork from late 2019 at the Changarro
prospect has defined 2 parallel, high-grade vein trends within a
25m wide, NNW-trending deformation corridor. From a newly
rediscovered mine on the west vein, 3m-spaced chip samples
averaging 0.65m in width returned an average of 8.82 g/t gold along
the entire 52m drift. These recent results complement 2018 chip
sampling on the east vein trend of 13.04 g/t Au over an 8m width.
Drilling is planned to test the down-dip continuity and strike
extent of this zone, the first clear drill target at Changarro.
The Cinco Senores skarn target, a continuation
of the El Dorado zone, has been intersected by drilling over a
continuous 235m E-W width and surface showings add a further 170m
of E-W extent. The potential north and south extensions of the
known mineralized skarn will be tested by the 2020 drilling
program.
The Las Minillas skarn occurrence shows
extensive mineralization on surface and underground, but has only
been tested by 3 holes over a 400m width. Hole LM-11-LM-24 near the
Minillas mine returned 7.52 g/t Au equivalent over 2m in very poor
recovery. Recent hole LM-19-LM-03 450m from the mine averaged
100ppb Au over 42m of endoskarn, suggesting significant nearby
exoskarn mineralization. Drilling in 2020 will target strong EM
conductors and El-Dorado type skarn settings.
Environmental Baseline Study
Consultoría y Tecnología Ambiental has completed
the fieldwork portion for an environmental baseline study at the
Las Minas project and delivery of the full report is expected in
July 2020. The surface water study included sampling nearby
rivers and creeks to analyze concentrations of metals and mercury
(total and dissolved) and other inorganic parameters (chlorides,
pH, color, sulphates, hardness, dissolved oxygen, total suspended
solids, and conductivity). The flora and fauna study included
observations along transects in the project area of influence to
identify species of herpetofauna, birds, and flora, including
possible protected species from these three groups. The work was
carried out in June by specialist biologists.
This initial environmental baseline project will
complement Mexican Gold’s forthcoming preliminary economic
assessment study in advancing the Las Minas project toward the
feasibility stage.
Enhanced Metallurgical Study
The metallurgical work now in process expands
the scope of the previous metallurgical study in 2015. Multiple
portions of the deposit are being tested individually for
ore-blending compatibility and further work on tailings
characteristics, process refinement, and extraction of a subsidiary
magnetite concentrate will follow. Results and reporting are
expected in August, 2020.
LiDAR Digital Terrain Model
A digital terrain model (“DTM”), accurate to
within 10cm, will cover 50 km2 including and surrounding the Las
Minas project. A terrain model is necessary for the upcoming PEA
Study to support location and design of infrastructure and material
transport options. The DTM will be produced using the airborne
LiDAR method, which can precisely locate the ground surface through
vegetation.
Quality Assurance/Quality
Control
