[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sonoro Gold Corp. (TSXV: SGO | OTCQB: SMOFF | FRA: 23SP) (“Sonoro” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the remaining assay results from its 2020 drilling campaign at the Cerro Caliche gold project in Sonora, Mexico. The 2021 drilling program is currently underway with approximately 50 additional RC and core holes expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter. The latest assays further support the Company’s consideration of the viability for a bulk mining heap-leach development proposal with a conceptual throughput of up to 20,000 tonnes per day (tpd). El Colorado Zone Enlarged At the El Colorado gold mineralized zone, located in the southwestern region of the concession, four core holes were drilled to test the periphery of the zone's intensely drilled higher grade gold shoots where drill holes announced December 18, 2020 include: SCR-044 intercepted 12.19 m averaging 11.22 g/t Au, including 6.09 m averaging 21.58 g/t Au SCD-008 intercepted 11.7 m averaging 0.92 g/t Au, including 4.55 m averaging 1.84 g/t Au Three of the four new holes successfully tested the southeastern and northwest periphery of the higher-grade shoots: SCD-026 intercepted 8.4 m averaging 0.718 g/t Au SCD-027 intercepted 7.2 m averaging 0.601 g/t Au SCD-028 intercepted 6.0 m averaging 0.885 g/t Au At the southeastern periphery, SCD-027 extended the shoot's lengths by approximately 50 meters whereas at the shoot’s northern periphery, SCD-028 intercepted three different mineralized intervals. SCD-028 is located approximately 30 meters north of where previously announced drill hole SCD-016 also intercepted several mineralized intervals including 11.25 meters averaging 1.08 g/t Au. Furthermore, the SCD-028 intercepts appear to be the western splay of the adjacent Guadalupe or Cabeza Blanca vein systems. Another drill hole, SCD-025, tested the eastern edge of the higher-grade gold shoot and intercepted two short, mineralized intervals. Guadalupe Zone At the Guadalupe gold mineralized zone, located in the western region of the concession, scout drill hole SCD-029 intercepted 3.9 meters averaging 0.358 g/t Au, including 3.9 meters averaging 0.234 g/t Au. The drill hole investigates the northernmost area of the Guadalupe zone and is approximately 250 meters north of the previously announced...
