Mexican Gold Mining Corp. (the “
Company” or
“
Mexican Gold") (TSXV: MEX) is pleased to announce
the final assay results from the 2020 drilling program in which a
total of 65 holes were drilled for 10,221m. All of the drilling
reported in this news release targeted potential extensions of
several zones in the El Dorado resource area.
Highlights:
- Hole LM-20-ED-76 intersected 21m of
9.82 g/t AuEq in the recent El Dorado (“ED”) zone extension and 10m
of 6.39 g/t AuEq in the West Dike Contact (“WDC”) zone. This hole
confirmed the increase in width of the WDC zone ore shoot by 150%
at the south end.
- Multiple intersections in hole
LM-20-ED-81 including 52m of 3.17 g/t and 12m of 4.31 g/t AuEq
confirmed a WDC Zone extension of more than 135m by 150m.
- Hole LM-20-ED-73 intersected 28.3m
of 2.03 g/t AuEq in the East Dike Contact (“EDC”) zone ore shoot
150m to the south-east of the previous intersection.

widths and depths
“These results mark the successful conclusion of
our 2020 drill program which was designed to expand and upgrade
resources at the El Dorado resource zone. Drilling demonstrated
that the deposit remains open in several directions and
significantly expanded tonnage. This drilling will form the basis
for an updated resource model and a Preliminary Economic Assessment
at Las Minas,” stated Philip O’Neill, Chief Executive Officer.

Table 1: Assay Results from the 2020 Drill Program at
Las Minas
Holes LM-20-ED-74, LM-20-ED-80, LM-20-LB-03, and
LM-20-LB-04 returned no significant assays.
The AuEq grade is calculated using the following
formula:
g AuEq/t = g Au/t + (0.0123077 x g Ag/t) +
(1.4492753 x %Cu)
This formula is based on prices of US$1,300.00
per ounce gold, US$16.00 per ounce silver, and US$2.75 per pound
copper. Metal recoveries were not included in the equivalency
calculation since the metallurgical studies completed to date
indicate a recovery of 89 per cent for gold, 84 per cent for silver
and 95 per cent for copper.
West Dike Contact Zone (WDC) Drilling:
The WDC zone consists of mineralization within 2
sub-parallel structures related to steeply-dipping diorite-marble
contacts and the thickened, enriched ore shoots formed where the
dike contacts meet the flat-lying El Dorado zone sill contact. Each
has a distinct mineralization style. The WDC zone ore shoot is the
richest portion of the Las Minas resource, so the recent expansion
of this zone is significant. The southern half of the vertical
portion of the WDC zone, now defined by multiple intersections, was
essentially theoretical until recent drilling.
Holes LM-20-ED-76 (21m of 9.82 g/t AuEq) and
LM-20-ED-81 (12m of 4.31 g/t and 8m of 3.34 g/t AuEq) successfully
infilled the 100m by 75m expansion of the WDC-ED Zone ore shoot
created by recent drilling. These holes also intersected the upper
WDC zones above and below these ore shoot intersections.
Drilling on the southern limbs of the WDC
vertical zone has and defined an up-dip height of 135 to 170m over
150m of strike:
LM-20-ED-75 cut a composite mineralized zone
including 15m of 2.76 g/t AuEq, which has extended the zone 100m to
the south.
LM-20-ED-72 (18m of 3.38 g/t AuEq) cut the WDC
Zone 135m up-dip from the ED zone top and 215m up-dip from the
lowest WDC zone intersection in the area. The true width of the
zone here is uncertain (likely 6 to 8m) as the hole was drilled
steeply to the zone orientation.
LM-20-ED-81 was also drilled steeply to the zone
due to terrain constraints. A nearly continuous 135m of
mineralization was encountered which included multiple
intersections of the upper and lower WDC Zones and the ED Zone. The
true widths of these intersections cannot be established but may be
inferred from surrounding intersections which were oblique to the
zone.
East Dike Contact Zone (EDC) Definition and
Expansion:
The EDC has similar morphology to the WDC, with
lesser thicknesses and grades, but it had not been included in
previous resource modelling due to sparse drilling. Multiple
mineralized intercepts in the 2020 program define continuous
mineralization, which remains open to the SE.
LM-20-ED-73 intersected 28.3m of 2.03g/t AuEq
closely above the EDC-ED Zone ore shoot. This is an 80m extension
from the closest EDC zone intercept in hole LM-20-ED-59 and a 150m
extension of the ore shoot to the south-east from hole
LM-20-ED-57.
West El Dorado (ED) Zone
Expansion:
Drilling detailed in the previous news releases
of 2020 had appended a 450m long strip 90 to 135 m wide to the ED
zone. The latest holes focussed on continuing this expansion to the
north.
LM-20-JB-41 (7.8m of 1.85 g/t AuEq) and
LM-20-JB-46 (4m of 4.50 g/t AuEq) represent 160m and 140m west
extensions to the ED zone 100m and 150m north of pre-2020 drilling.
LM-20-JB-42 (9m of 2.43 g/t AuEq) successfully infilled the 160m
extension of hole LM-20-JB-41.
WDC Zone North Extension:
The EDC Zone extends as far north as the ED Zone
but weakens in its northern reaches. Holes LM-20-JB-44 (14m of 2.52
g/t AuEq) and LM-20-JB-45 (10m of 1.52 g/t AuEq) extended the WDC
zone a total of 180m to the NW, to complement the ED zone expansion
in this area.

obtained from CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd. of Langley, BC,
Canada. Each sample bag is properly sealed and kept in a secured,
restricted storage place prior to shipping to the lab. Samples
are shipped directly by Mexican Gold or picked-up by the lab
vehicle with chain of custody/sample submittal signed and
dated. The Company sends its samples to SGS Mineral Services
