Tesoro Gold Limited announced assay results from close spaced continuous channel sampling over the Kitsune and Toro Blanco Targets at the El Zorro Gold Project (El Zorro), Chile. Sampling has been completed over prospective host El Zorro Tonalite outcrops and fault zones, with anomalous gold results highlighting the potential for the Ternera Gold Deposit to continue approximately 3.2km north to Kitsune. Surface Sampling: Results have been received for 798 channel samples taken as part of a detailed mapping and sampling program at the Toro Blanco and Kitsune targets.

Toro Blanco and Kitsune are interpreted to be the northern extension of the Ternera Gold Deposit. To date results have been returned for 1,493 samples across both targets, which have now successfully delineated a large 3.2km by 1.5km mineralised gold zone, analogous to Ternera. Samples were taken as continuous rock chips, with prospective rock types outcropping at surface as fresh or weakly oxidised outcrops.

This provides a high level of geological information about the nature and control of gold mineralisation throughout the sampled areas. Drilling: Drilling has recommenced at El Zorro, focusing on further extending the recently announced southern extension of the Ternera Gold Deposit. The southern extension is a newly discovered shallow zone of gold mineralisation which was intercepted in hole ZDDH0309, approximately 200m south of the existing 1.1Moz MRE.

The mineralisation is open to the south with the current drill program designed to continue to extend the deposit to the south and further understand the geometry of this mineralised zone and delineate additional gold resources. The Company is also advancing the calculation of an updated MRE aiming to improve resource classification and continuity of mineralisation throughout the deposit with the addition of drilling data from holes drilled since June 2022. It is envisaged an updated MRE will be completed in First Quarter current year 2023.
