(\"Turmalina\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that the company has completed a project-scale mapping and sampling program at the San Francisco project (the \"Project\"), resulting in multiple new drill targets.\nHighlights: \nCompletion of project-wide mapping and sampling program Program included 4494 soil samples, 1240 rock chip samples and mapping of 60 breccias Rock chip samples from one of the high priority exploration targets included 79 g/t gold, 385 g/t silver and 7.7 % copper. Drill program to commence targeting both expansion of initial breccia drilled in 2019 and new discoveries.Energold Drilling has been contracted to conduct the upcoming drilling program at the Project, located in the mining-friendly state of San Juan, Argentina. \nTwo diamond drill rigs will be utilized to drill a total of 4000m at the Project, with drilling expected to commence in late March. Approximately 2000m will be drilled at the San Francisco de Los Andes breccia pipe (\"SFdLA\") testing for extensions to high-grade gold-silver-copper mineralisation encountered in 2019. The remaining 2000m will test several mineralised breccia pipes identified during the recently completed mapping program. \nTurmalina's initial drill program at the SFdLA breccia pipe in 2019 intersected high-grade gold-silver mineralization in multiple holes (i.e. 36.95m @ 6.31 g/t Au, 122 g/t Ag & 0.88% Cu for 8.7 g/t AuEq; see Turmalina News Release dated December 9, 2019 for details). This 2019 campaign tested the top 150m of the breccia pipe, with mineralisation remaining open at depth and along strike (Figure 1). The planned drill holes will test below existing intersections to a depth of ~400m below surface, as well as target along-strike extensions to the breccia evident in surface mappin...
