[{"type":"text","content":"Almaden Minerals Ltd. (TSX: AMM) announces further assay results from its ongoing exploration and development program at the Company's Tuligtic project in Mexico. Results reported are from drill holes TU-16-477 to 481 drilled on sections 10+525 and 675 East. All holes intersected significant mineralisation and veining inside or immediately outside of the Amended PEA pit. The holes drilled to the north intersected the previously defined subvertical Ixtaca North vein zone as well as the new zones of veining. Highlights from these drillholes include the following intercepts: Hole TU-16-477 SECTION 10+525 EAST Az. 330, Dip -80 4.70 meters @ 3.13 g/t Au and 737.9 g/t Ag Ixtaca North Zone 3.95 meters @ 3.66 g/t Au and 379.0 g/t Ag Ixtaca North Zone Hole TU-16-478 SECTION 10+675 EAST Az. 330, Dip -35 10.08 meters @ 1.26 g/t Au and 24.3 g/t Ag Ixtaca North Zone Hole TU-16-479 SECTION 10+525 EAST Az. 330, Dip -70 8.50 meters @ 2.56 g/t Au and 357.0 g/t Ag Ixtaca North Zone 30.35 meters @ 1.92 g/t Au and 62.1 g/t Ag Ixtaca North Zone? 13.60 meters @ 3.62 g/t Au and 83.2 g/t Ag Ixtaca North Zone? Including 4.00 meters @ 10.24 g/t Au and 215.8 g/t Ag Ixtaca North Zone? Hole TU-16-480 SECTION 10+675 EAST Az. 330, Dip -27 0.50 meters @ 5.97 g/t Au and 617.0 g/t Ag New Vein Zone? 11.50 meters @ 0.41 g/t Au and 39.5 g/t Ag New Vein Zone? Hole TU-16-481 SECTION 10+525 EAST Az. 330, Dip -30 2.00 meters @ 1.55 g/t Au and 30.4 g/t Ag Ixtaca North Zone? Including 0.70 meters @ 1.11 g/t Au and 148.0 g/t Ag Ixtaca North Zone? The mineralisation reported today confirms the presence of additional important zones of veining immediately adjacent to the Ixtaca Zone and points to the exploration potential of the project in general. The Ixtaca Zone was discovered in 2010 beneath a large area of largely barren clay alteration which has been confirmed subsequently to represent the upper portions of a gold and silver bearing epithermal vein system. Since the discovery Almaden has focussed its effort...
