[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 28, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sonoro Metals Corp., (TSXV: SMO | OTCQB: SMOFF | FRA: 23SP), (“Sonoro” and the “Company”), reports that drilling at Cerro Caliche continues to confirm and expand the gold and silver mineralization within the Central Zone and at several satellite zones previously identified by earlier drilling. Average gold grades of intervals reported are observed to be similar to existing heap leach mining operations in the region. Highlights from the latest 20 holes of the Phase Two program reported here include: Japoneses infill hole SCR-064 returned 1.257 g/t AuEq over 9.15m La Espanola scout hole SCR-068 returned 6.179 g/t AuEq over 3.05m and 1.327 g/t AuEq over 9.14m Guadalupe step-out hole SCR-061 returned 0.559 g/t AuEq over 15.24m Chinos Altos scout hole SCR-069 hole returned 1.142 g/t AuEq over 7.6 m Buena Suerte step-out hole SCR-062 returned 1.064 g/t AuEq over 10.67m & 0.742 g/t AuEq over 10.67m “With almost 90% of the 10,000-meter drill program completed, we are pleased to report that the objectives of the technical program at Cerro Caliche have been accomplished,” said Kenneth MacLeod, President and CEO. “Most critically, the program continues to outline shallow low-grade bulk tonnage gold mineralized zones with gold grades and intervals similar to operating heap leach mines in the region. We have conducted sufficient infill drilling at the Central Zones surrounding Japoneses and El Colorado to enable the commissioning of an NI-43-101 technical report and we have identified several highly-prospective mineralized zones within a 2 kilometer radius from the Central Zones, which will be drilled in future programs to confirm their economic potential.” Two drill holes have defined gold mineralization to the west at the Guadalupe zone. The most significant was SCR-061 which intercepted 15.24 meters with an average grade of 0.519 g/t Au beginning at 36.58 meters. At the Espanola vein zone, one kilometer east of the Japoneses zone, drill hole SCR-068 tested the easternmost extent of Cerro Caliche’s known mineralization cutting multiple gold mineralized intervals of 3.05 meters with 6.131 g/t Au and 3.4 g/t Ag. In the same drill hole are other intervals including 9.14 meters with 1.25 g/t Au and 5.4 g/t Ag. The remaining drill ...
