Mexican Gold Mining Corp. (the “
Company” or
“
Mexican Gold") (TSXV: MEX) is pleased to announce
further assay results from the 2020 drilling program. So far, 52
holes have been drilled for 8,075m. The vast majority of the
drilling has been targeting various potential extension zones at
the El Dorado resource, which remains open in several directions.
Highlights:
- Hole LM-20-ED-69 intersected
32m of 4.56 g/t AuEq and
13m of 6.39 g/t AuEq. This hole increased the
width of the West Dike Contact (“WDC”) zone ore
shoot by 150% at the south end.
- Hole LM-20-ED-66 intersected
12m of 4.86 g/t AuEq and
24m of 2.48 g/t AuEq. This hole increased the
width of the main WDC ore shoot by 100% at the north end and
connected the El Dorado (“ED”) lower zone to the WDC zone.
- Drilling on the upper WDC zone
yielded 10m of 10.98 g/t AuEq in hole LM-20-ED-71
and 4.5m of 9.35 g/t
AuEq (within
21.7m of 2.88 g/t AuEq) in hole LM-20-ED-64, 55m and 40m above the
ED zone.
- Hole LM-20-ED-73 (assays pending)
has intersected the East Dike Contact (“EDC”) zone
ore shoot 175m to the south-east of the previous intersection.

widths and depths
“Drilling at El Dorado continues to expand
tonnage, which is still open in several directions,” stated Philip
O’Neill, Chief Executive Officer. “We believe that the drilling to
date is likely to significantly increase tonnage in a future
resource estimate while also providing the basis for a Preliminary
Economic Assessment.”

Table 1: Assay
Results
from
the 2020
Drill
Program
at Las Minas
Holes LM-20-JB-34, LM-20-JB-39, LM-20-LP-01,
LM-20-LP-02, LM-20-LP-03, LM-20-LP-04, LM-20-LP-08, LM-20-LP-09,
LM-20-CS-19, LM-20-CS-20, and LM-20-CS-21 returned no significant
assays.
The AuEq grade is calculated using the following
formula:
g AuEq/t = g Au/t + (0.0123077 x g Ag/t) +
(1.4492753 x %Cu)
This formula is based on prices of US$1,300.00
per ounce gold, US$16.00 per ounce silver, and US$2.75 per pound
copper. Metal recoveries were not included in the equivalency
calculation since the metallurgical studies completed to date
indicate a recovery of 89 per cent for gold, 84 per cent for silver
and 95 per cent for copper.
West Dike Contact Zone (WDC)
Drilling:
The dike contact (“DC”) zones
at Las Minas consist of mineralization within structures related to
sub-vertical diorite-marble contacts, and thickened, enriched ore
shoots formed where the DC zones meets the flat-lying El Dorado
zone. Each has a distinct mineralization style. The WDC zone ore
shoot is notably the richest part of the Las Minas deposits and it
was incorrectly thought to be fully defined previous to this
drilling. The tabular, vertical portion of the WDC zone south of
section 8025N was essentially theoretical, with very little
drilling until Q3-Q4 2020.
LM-20-ED-69 intersected 32m of 4.56 g/t AuEq and
13m of 6.39 g/t AuEq. This hole unexpectedly increased the width of
the ED zone/southern WDC ore shoot by 150% from 40m to 100m on
cross section 7825N. Local geology suggests that this intersection
may represent a newly discovered DC type zone and another ore shoot
as well.
LM-20-ED-66 intersected 12m of 4.86 g/t AuEq and
24m of 2.48 g/t AuEq. This hole has increased the width of the
southern WDC ore shoot by 100%, from 22m to 44m on cross section
7900N, 75m north of LM-20-ED-69. There is space to further increase
the width on this section. Additionally, this hole now connects a
single previous intersection (referred to as the ED lower zone) to
the WDC zone, adding 20 to 45m of depth to it.
Drilling on the southern limb of the WDC
vertical zone has yielded 10m of 10.98 g/t AuEq in hole LM-20-ED-71
and 4.5m of 9.35 g/t AuEq (within 21.7m of 2.88 g/t AuEq) in hole
LM-20-ED-64. Along with several other intersections, these holes
show that the southern WDC zone occupies structures detached from
the main dike and continues south for at least 200m. It has now
been intersected consistently 55m above and up to 90m above the ED
zone.
East Dike Contact Zone (EDC)
The EDC has similar morphology to the WDC, with
lesser thicknesses and grades. The EDC has so far not been included
in resource modelling due to the lack of drilling until Q3-Q4 2020.
It has now become clear that there is a curved steepening to the
plunge of the EDC ore shoot which caused a few misses and allowed
for only one previous intersection (LM-17-ED-43).
LM-20-ED-70 cut the EDC above the ore shoot,
intersecting 10.4m of 2.22 g/t AuEq in the EDC and 2m of 1.77 g/t
AuEq in the east ED zone.
LM-20-ED-73 (assays pending) intersected closely
above the ore shoot with a strong EDC and ED zone. This is 95m SE
of LM-20-ED-70 and 175m to the south-east of the closest ore shoot
intersection in hole LM-20-ED-57.
West El Dorado
(ED) Zone
Expansion
The entire western side of the ED zone has been
open for expansion, subject to overcoming terrain challenges.
Drilling detailed in the news release of September 15, 2020 had
appended a 450m long strip 90 to 135 m wide to the ED zone. Further
drilling is upcoming.
LM-20-JB-36 (4.1m of 2.69 g/t AuEq) has added a
further 40m to the west extension of the ED zone on section 7900N,
bringing the total west extension in 2020 to 175m.
South El Dorado (ED) Zone
LM-20-ED-62, at 6m of 2.23 g/t AuEq, has
expanded the ED zone by 65m to the south-west.
LM-20-ED-63, a further 70m to the south-west
from hole LM-20-ED-62, intersected an atypical gold-rich,
copper-leached portion of the ED zone with 2m of 5.07 g/t Au.

activity conducted by Mexican Gold on the property.
The Company has implemented and adheres to a
strict Quality Assurance/Quality Control program which includes

obtained from CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd. of Langley, BC,
Canada. Each sample bag is properly sealed and kept in a secured,
restricted storage place prior to shipping to the lab. Samples
are shipped directly by Mexican Gold or picked-up by the lab
vehicle with chain of custody/sample submittal signed and
dated. The Company sends its samples to SGS Mineral Services
(ISO/IEC 17025) at Durango, Mexico, an accredited and independent
