Toachi Mining Inc. announced new high grade trenching assay results that extends the known VMS corridor footprint further north including a trench cut assaying 6 meters @ 2.02 g/t Au, 32.50 g/t Ag, 2.34% Cu, 0.79% Pb and 2.59% Zn. These new trenching results are located 150 meters north of the high grade trenching results previously reported by Toachi on January 16th, 2019. These new trench assay results continue to confirm and validate the high grade Guatuza VMS corridor and extend it 150 meters further to the north (San Jose prospect). Toachi's exploration team on the ground is continuing this successful trenching campaign based on the results of the 2018 mapping and prospecting program. Cleaning, mapping and trench channel sampling of VMS mineralised outcrops are continuing with the aim of testing the full northern extent of the Guatuza, San Ramon and San Pablo South VMS corridor targets prior to this year's proposed exploration drilling program. During January 2019, continued cleaning of talus and debris covering areas of near surface VMS mineralization was completed in the Open Pit north wall, stream "Quebrada Mala" and in stream "Quebrada Tajo" (please refer to the map available on Toachi's website). Removal of younger ash fall and lahar cover over Eocene bedrock was continued along the San Ramón stream at the San Pablo South Prospect and in the upper parts of the streams of Quebrada San Jose and Quebrada Andino in the Guatuza zone and in the San Ramon prospects respectively. Channel sampling was also completed in part of the San Ramon stream in San Pablo South prospect and within the recently cleaned outcrops in the Open pit north wall, Quebrada Mala in the La Mina North block and Quebrada Tajo (east of the open pit) in the southern part of the Guatuza prospect. All trenching intervals have been reported on a minimum composite grade of 4ppm gold equivalent cut-off, 1m minimum composite length using a maximum internal dilution of 1m and provide sampling coverage on a continuous basis. The surface trenching samples with base metal assay results above 1% have been re-assayed using the multi-element ICP-ES, 4 acid digestion analytical method for ore grade assays. Trenching undertaken by Toachi Mining in 2019 has been supervised by onsite personnel at the project who meticulously collect and track samples, which were then sealed and shipped to MS Analytical in Canada for analysis. The sample preparation was performed by Ecuadorian partner, LAC y Asociados. Both LAC y Asociados and MSA are ISO 9001:2008 registered companies. MS Analytical also meets the requirements as outlined in ISO/IEC 17025. Analytical accuracy and precision are independently controlled using blanks, control reference material and duplicate samples. Stream sediment samples were collected and sieved at the sampling site using a 1mm screen. Control duplicate samples were taken at a rate of 1 in 20 samples. The sample material was tagged, packed into a plastic and calico bags, then air dried at the Toachi's field camp in Palo Quemado. The semi-dry samples were dispatched to LAC y Asociados laboratory in Cuenca, Ecuador and further sieved using the 0.3 mm screen. The sieved <0.3 mm samples were then shipped to Activation Laboratories Ltd. in Canada for BLEG analysis.
