Sonoro Gold Corp. reported the remaining assay results from its 2020 drilling campaign at the Cerro Caliche gold project in Sonora, Mexico. The 2021 drilling program is currently underway with approximately 50 additional RC and core holes expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter. The latest assays further support the Company’s consideration of the viability for a bulk mining heap-leach development proposal with a conceptual throughput of up to 20,000 tonnes per day (tpd). El Colorado Zone Enlarged: At the El Colorado gold mineralized zone, located in the southwestern region of the concession, four core holes were drilled to test the periphery of the zone's intensely drilled higher grade gold shoots where drill holes announced December 18, 2020 include: SCR-044 intercepted 12.19 m averaging 11.22 g/t Au, including 6.09 m averaging 21.58 g/t Au; SCD-008 intercepted 11.7 m averaging 0.92 g/t Au, including 4.55 m averaging 1.84 g/t Au. Three of the four new holes successfully tested the southeastern and northwest periphery of the higher-grade shoots: SCD-026 intercepted 8.4 m averaging 0.718 g/t Au; SCD-027 intercepted 7.2 m averaging 0.601 g/t Au; SCD-028 intercepted 6.0 m averaging 0.885 g/t Au. At the southeastern periphery, SCD-027 extended the shoot's lengths by approximately 50 meters whereas at the shoot’s northern periphery, SCD-028 intercepted three different mineralized intervals. SCD-028 is located approximately 30 meters north of where previously announced drill hole SCD-016 also intercepted several mineralized intervals including 11.25 meters averaging 1.08 g/t Au. Furthermore, the SCD-028 intercepts appear to be the western splay of the adjacent Guadalupe or Cabeza Blanca vein systems. Another drill hole, SCD-025, tested the eastern edge of the higher-grade gold shoot and intercepted two short, mineralized intervals. Guadalupe Zone: At the Guadalupe gold mineralized zone, located in the western region of the concession, scout drill hole SCD-029 intercepted 3.9 meters averaging 0.358 g/t Au, including 3.9 meters averaging 0.234 g/t Au. The drill hole investigates the northernmost area of the Guadalupe zone and is approximately 250 meters north of the previously announced SCR-030 which intercepted 22.86 meters averaging 0.725 g/t Au. Additional drill holes are planned to determine the potential for Guadalupe to increase the project’s gold mineralization. Cabeza Blanca Zone Continues to Grow: At the Cabeza Blanca gold mineralization zone, located directly north of the El Colorado zone, core holes SCD-030 and SCD-031 confirm the zone’s extension more than 50 meters to the north: SCD-030 intercepted 9.3 m averaging 0.719 g/t Au; SCD-031 intercepted 15 m averaging 0.503 g/t Au. Veta de Oro – Abejas Zone: At the southeastern end of the Veta de Oro gold mineralized zone, four core drill holes, SCD-032, SCD-033, SCD-034 and SCD-035, and two RC holes, SCR-156 and SCR-157, tested an area of vein stockwork and confirmed narrowing vein zone in the covered area between the Veta de Oro zone and the Abejas zone, located 500 meters to the south. SCD-032 through SCD-035 were the final core drill holes of 2020 and are located directly south of drill hole SCD-015 which, as announced on December 8, 2020, intercepted 16.25 meters averaging 0.741 g/t AuEq, including 3.0 meters averaging 2.11 g/t AuEq. Management believes these drill holes establish the potential for a higher-grade zone of gold mineralization to extend to the north approximately one kilometer to El Rincon. In addition, the Company built roads and drill pads in preparation for the drilling to test the north striking zone between El Rincon and Veta de Oro. Drilling at this very high potential zone is currently under way with results expected by the end of February.
