(\"Mexican Gold\" or the \"Company\") (TSX-V:MEX) (OTCQB:MEXGF) (FRA:4QW1) is pleased to announce that its 2018 Field Exploration Program at the Changaro zone has yielded high-grade sampling results. Channel sampling carried out at the historical La Perdida mine assayed: 13.48 g/t Au Eq (13.04 g/t gold, 6.83 g/t silver and 0.21% copper) over 8 metres, including 27.76 g/t Au Eq (27.30 g/t gold, 11.7 g/t silver and 0.49% copper) over 2.0 metres. A sampling program carried out in 2010 at the historical El Alto-Changaro mine (see press release May 10, 2011) yielded the following: 11.45 g/t Au Eq (9.92 g/t gold, 20.78 g/t silver and 0.63 % copper), over 8 metres, including 30.46 g/t Au Eq (28.87 g/t gold, 20.3 g/t silver and 0.68% copper) over 2.0 metres. 4.35 g/t Au Eq (3.03 g/t gold, 12.9 g/t silver and 0.61% copper) over 10 metres, including 9.26 g/t Au Eq (7.47 g/t gold, 29.35 g/t silver and 0.71% copper) over 4.0 metres. 2.51 g/t Au Eq (1.83 g/t gold, 13.01 g/t silver and 0.25% copper) over 16.0 metres The field exploration work led to the discovery of a previously unknown historical mine with an 8 metre shaft and two mine levels. The program is on-going and includes constructing access trails, trenching sampling and mapping across the Changaro zone. The Changaro zone is a mineralized corridor measuring approximately 800 metres by 500 metres. The zone is characterized by numerous small-scale mines and mineralized showings hosted within marble and situated above the extensive skarn zone that hosts the mineralized zones at Las Minas. A total of 13 mines and mine workings have been located within the boundaries of the Changaro zone. The El Alto-Changaro mine, which is believed to be the largest of the known mines within the zone, has mine workings extending over a vertical height of 200 metres.
