[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, Canada, May 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sonoro Gold Corp. (TSXV: SGO | OTCQB: SMOFF | FRA: 23SP) (“Sonoro” or the “Company”) pleased to report assay results from an additional 10 drill holes completed at its Cerro Caliche gold project in Sonora, Mexico. Results reflect drilling conducted at El Colorado and Buena Suerte gold mineralized zones where intercepts include 1.52 meters averaging 9.57 grams of gold per tonne (“g/t Au”), 28.95 meters averaging 1.021 g/t Au and 10.67 meters averaging 1.183 g/t Au. As with drilling results announced on May 17, 2022, current intercepts are also situated outside of the pit shells used to calculate the mineral resource estimate as part of an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) announced May 9, 2022, for a proposed heap leach mining operation. Highlights are as follows: SCR-313 intercepted 21.34m averaging 0.557 g/t Au, including 3.04m averaging 1.523 g/t Au. SCR-314 intercepted 3.05m averaging 1.185 g/t Au, including 1.52m averaging 2.19 g/t Au; and 7.62m averaging 0.72 g/t Au, including 1.53m averaging 1.635. SCR-315 intercepted 10.67m averaging 1.183 g/t Au, including 1.52m averaging 3.27 g/t Au; and 4.57m averaging 1.087 g/t Au, including 1.53m averaging 2.28 g/t Au. SCR-318 intercepted 1.52m averaging 9.57 g/t Au and 28.95m averaging 1.021 g/t Au; including 1.53m averaging 2.07 g/t Au, including 3.05m averaging 2.706 g/t Au. The map below illustrates the location of the drill holes. Figure 1: New Drill Holes at El Colorado and Buena Suerte Results from seven additional drill holes completed at the Abejas gold mineralized zone are still pending and will be announced next month, concluding the Phase IV drilling program at Cerro Caliche. Geological data from this latest drilling campaign will be included in a further updated resource estimate scheduled to be announced in the summer of 2022. The updated technical report will also assess the potential economic impact of the new drilling data on the proposed heap leach mining operation. Mel Herdrick, Sonoro's Vice President of Exploration, noted that “I continue to be encouraged by the results of the Phase IV drilling campaign which has returned multiple higher-grade intercepts and demonstrated resource growth potential near surface and at depth. These latest assay intercepts also indicate continued expansion of El Color...
