Fuerte has now reported fifty holes totalling 13,754.7 metres of drilling from the current program. The Cristina project consists of multiple outcropping quartz veins that are frequently greater than 10 metres in width and extend for at least a five-kilometre strike length. Four parallel mineralized vein zones have been mapped and sampled to date, with most of the existing mineral resource estimate at Cristina contained within only one of the vein zones, the Guadalupe vein. These latest holes are all from the Los Ingleses vein, northeast of the Guadalupe vein (Figure 1).Drilling HighlightsHighlights of the holes reported here from Los Ingleses vein systems, include:10.3 g/t AuEq over 2.4 m estimated true width (ETW) (9.0 g/t Au, 90 g/t Ag, 0.02% Zn, 0.02% Pb and 0.01% Cu) in hole ACD-25-266This 2.4 m wide intercept occurs within a broader mineralized zone measuring 2.6 g/t AuEq over 10.5 m ETW (2.3 g/t Au, 22 g/t Ag, 0.02% Zn, 0.01 % Pb)7.0 g/t AuEq over 1.4 m estimated true width (ETW) (0.9 g/t Au, 91 g/t Ag, 7.65% Zn, 1.96% Pb and 0.36% Cu) in hole ACD-25-269 and5.6 g/t AuEq over 3.6 m estimated true width (ETW) (4.6 g/t Au, 12 g/t Ag, 1.32% Zn, 0.36% Pb and 0.05% Cu), also in hole ACD-25-269These two higher-grade intercepts occur within a very wide mineralized zone measuring 0.7 g/t AuEq over 95.0 m ETW (0.4 g/t Au, 6 g/t Ag, 0.31 % Zn, 0.11 % Pb, 0.04% Cu)Tim Warman, Fuerte's CEO, commented: \"Almost every hole drilled to date on the Los Ingleses vein system has encountered very wide, lower-grade intercepts with the widest intercept within 50-100 m of surface, making them excellent candidates for open pit mining. These wider intercepts typically host one or more narrower, high-grade zones that are in a gold rich area and likely continue at depth. Only a fraction of the Los Ingleses vein system has been drill tested for inclusion in a...
