Lumina Gold Corp. announced additional drill results from the Cangrejos resource infill, step-out and depth extension program as well as the initial drilling of the Gran Bestia exploration target to the northwest. These eight holes represent the most recent results from the 2018 drilling, which has totaled approximately 12,800 metres over 32 holes. The results include three holes from Gran Bestia, which in addition to the five holes previously drilled by Newmont Mining confirm the existence of a satellite deposit not included in the current NI 43-101 resource estimate at Cangrejos. The company also completed seven holes and approximately 2,300 metres of geotechnical and metallurgical drilling. Two drill rigs are currently working at the Cangrejos Project, with two more expected to arrive at site in February. In 2019, Lumina plans to drill approximately 7,000 metres in 23 holes for resource in-fill and exploration at the Cangrejos Deposit and approximately 5,200 metres in 13 holes at the Gran Bestia Deposit. Lumina intends to release an updated resource estimate in the second half of 2019 that will incorporate all of the 2018 and 2019 drilling. The resource estimate update will feature a maiden resource at the Gran Bestia Deposit as well as an updated resource for the Cangrejos Deposit, which will incorporate both expansion and infill drilling. In addition, a significant drilling program to provide metallurgical test materials and oriented core for engineering studies is also planned for the first half of 2019. One drill rig will be dedicated to large-diameter core drilling. Geotechnical drilling over eight holes for pit slope design is planned and select geotechnical holes will also serve as locations for pump tests and installation of monitoring wells to support hydrogeological studies. Approximately 1,800 kilograms of material from 2018 drilling has arrived in Lima for metallurgical testing at the C.H. Plenge & CIA S.A. lab. The metallurgical testing program is scheduled to be completed by quarter three of 2019. Lumina plans on shipping 2,000 kilograms of whole PQ core to FLSmidth Labs in Utah for the high pressure grinding role tests and a representative subsample of 200 kilograms to C.H. Plenge for continued metallurgical work. Holes C18-95, 97 and 99, drilled in the southwest of the deposit all cut zones of significant mineralization. Hole C18-97 is one of the best holes drilled to date at the Cangrejos Project, with mineralization over almost its entire 556-metre length. Holes C18-93 and 94 were step-out holes drilled on the southeastern flank of the main resource and intersected several intervals of mineralization. Holes C18-96, 98 and 100 were the first three holes drilled at Gran Bestia since Newmont Mining drilled five holes in 1999. Holes C18-96 and 98, were drilled first due to logistical reasons and were located near the southeast margins of the large rock and soil geochemical anomaly which delineates Gran Bestia. Both holes returned long intervals of significant grade mineralization. C18-100 is located more central to the anomaly and cut a long intersection from surface.
