These highlight intercepts from drill hole 21CLM-159 which were intersected less than 200 metres below surface, fill a significant gap between mineralization identified in this current 2020-21 drill campaign and that identified in the earlier 2012-13 drilling and help build continuity within the known mineralized zones identified at the South Skarn target. Current modelling has identified three panels of mineralization at the South Skarn target, the largest of which can now be traced laterally for approximately 400 metres and up to 580 metres down-dip.

“Despite the challenging weather conditions since late June we have managed to complete the planned process plant commissioning and bring the leaching and recovery systems online at their design capacities. In addition, mining activities to open up the Nicho Norte pit have advanced to a point where we now have sufficient working area to transition to the larger equipment fleet planned for the ramp up to commercial operations.” stated Darren Koningen, CEO.

“We continue to see strong results from our drilling program at El Orito, with wide zones of good potentially bulk mineable grades surrounding higher grade intercepts,” said Brad Langille, President and CEO. “We are very excited to see that the targets located with our IP geophysical program are yielding great results from drilling, such as those seen in hole LRGO-21-052. We have many additional targets to test over the coming months.”

Mel Herdrick, Sonoro’s VP of Exploration noted, “The sampling and mapping program is producing important new data that, when added to Sonoro’s database, significantly assists our ability to locate drill targets and prioritize our drilling, which is anticipated to resume this fall.”
