[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sonoro Metals Corp., (TSXV: SMO | OTCQB: SMOFF | FRA: 23SP), (“Sonoro” and the “Company”), reports that gold mineralization has been encountered in all 60 holes which have been drilled and assayed to date from the reverse circulation program at the 100% owned Cerro Caliche gold project in Sonora, Mexico. Prior results from the 45-hole Phase One program drilling within the Central Zone confirmed a series of northwest trending gold-dominant structures and outlined three shallow, bulk-tonnage, gold mineralized zones with supergene oxidized metasedimentary and igneous rock units, all potentially suitable for heap leaching. New results from the initial 15 Phase Two holes described below, most of which are new area “scout holes”, match the characteristics of the Phase One results, thus extending the mineralized zones by over 1.25 kilometers to the northwest of the Central Zone in four new clusters. Two infill drill holes were also completed at El Colorado in the southwestern part of the Central Zone to determine possible extension of deeper parts of the epithermal vein zones. Highlights from the initial 15 holes of the Phase Two program reported here include: Veta de Oro scout drill hole SCR-057 returned 2.728 g/t AuEq over 10.67 m, including 4.35 g/t over 6.1 m Veta de Oro scout hole SCR-056 returned 5.484 g/t AuEq over 3.05 m El Rincon scout drill hole SCR-047 returned 0.744 g/t AuEq over 10.67 m El Colorado infill drill hole SCR-045 returned 0.799 g/t AuEq over 6.1 m and 1.052 AuEq over 15.24 m “The primary focus of this initial Phase Two round of drilling was to test Cerro Caliche’s northwestern anomalous gold zones by “scout drilling” targets which had been previously identified by geochemical and surface mapping but had not yet been drilled by the Company,” said Kenneth MacLeod, President and CEO of Sonoro. “The successful outcome of scout drilling in the northwestern zones and infill drilling at the El Colorado zone supports the Company’s plan to further drill these zones following additional analysis of the data. The balance of the ongoing Phase Two drilling is focused on extending mineralization at the Central Zone cluster of Japoneses-Cuervos-Abejas, prior to preparing a virgin resource estimation.” To view a map of the drill holes in the northweste...
