SONORO REPORTS GOLD MINERALIZED TARGETS IN NORTHWEST REGION OF CERRO CALICHE AS POTENTIAL RESOURCE EXPANSION

VANCOUVER, Canada, July 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sonoro Gold Corp. (TSXV: SGO | OTCQB: SMOFF | FRA: 23SP) (“Sonoro” or the “Company”) is pleased to report oxide mineralized targets identified for resource expansion at the Company’s Cerro Caliche gold project, located in Sonora State, Mexico. Surface sampling and detailed geologic mapping completed in the northwest region of the property demonstrate three linear structural corridor repetitions with anomalous gold, silver and base metal mineralization, as well as a fourth visually inferred corridor.

Exploration to date at Cerro Caliche has identified a wide area of mineralized low-sulfidation epithermal vein structures and the presence of multiple northwest trending gold mineralized zones along trend and at near surface. A Mineral Resource Estimate report filed in March 2023 confirmed a section of the concession’s oxidized, shallow, gold mineralized resource that the Company is currently working on to bring into production with a proposed heap leach mining operation.

With just over 30% of the known mineralized gold zones at Cerro Caliche explored, the Company has identified the Northwestern Corridors Area as a priority drilling target for future drilling to expand the resource. The structural and veined corridors are located adjacent and parallel to the known El Rincón and Veta de Oro vein zones where previously announced drilling results confirm gold-silver mineralized intervals.

Assay results with data resolution from surface sampling, together with geologic mapping and adjacent drill holes, suggest the potential expansion of the project’s oxide gold mineralized zones and resource. Figure 1 below shows the locations of the surface samples and Northwestern Corridors Area.

Kenneth MacLeod, President and CEO of Sonoro, commented, “Targeting the oxide gold mineralization inside the Northwestern Corridors Area is intended to potentially expand the project’s resource. This expansion, along with the planned infill drilling targets at the higher-grade bodies of gold mineralization at El Colorado and Guadalupe vein zones, may enhance the overall economics of the Cerro Caliche project.”
