(CSE: TRG) (OTCQB: TRGGF) (Frankfurt: 4RZ) (\"Tarachi\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that, further to its news release dated January 26, 2023, it has signed a definitive agreement dated May 2, 2023 (the \"Agreement\") with Compañia Minera de Atocha S.A. de C.V. (\"Atocha\") for the sale of the Company's Magistral Project (the \"Magistral Project\") in Mexico (the \"Transaction\"). Pursuant to the Agreement, Tarachi expects to receive cash payments totaling US$5,700,000 (approximately C$7.6 million) from Atocha as follows: US$2,550,000 will be paid directly from Atocha to Tarachi on or before closing. US$500,000 of the US$1,000,000 currently held in a Canadian escrow account will be released to Tarachi on or before closing. The remaining US$500,000 in the escrow account will be released to Tarachi when Atocha concludes negotiations with the Ejido Magistral, or after 12 months, whichever occurs first. US$500,000 will be paid to Tarachi six months from closing, less any contingency costs, if any, that arise after closing that were incurred by Tarachi but not identified during due diligence.

US$500,000 will be paid to Tarachi when 100% of the Magistral Tailings have been mined, sold and/or processed or after the second complete calendar year of operation at the Magistral Project, whichever occurs first.
