The company drilled the following holes TU-12-170, 174, 178, and 180 in the northeast expansion zone and these holes indicate a 100 m step out from the formerly drilled section, 50+000N. The reported intersections show this zone continuity and the existence of high grades.

According to Almadens Chairman, J.D. Poliquin, the freshly outlined northeast extension zone is oriented towards the key Ixtaca trend at right angles. These step-out holes results validate this zones capacity for significantly adding to the Txtaca resource.
Currently, four drill rigs are operating at the Tuligtic project. The company is planning to continue drill program all over this year.
