[{"type":"text","content":"Terreno Resources Discovers Several New Mineralized Zones at the Las Cucharas Gold & Silver Project in Mexico(via TheNewswire)\n\n \nTORONTO, CANADA / TheNewswire / April 8, 2019 - Terreno Resources Corp. (TSXV: TNO.H) (\"Terreno\" or the \"Company\") George A. Brown, President & CEO, is pleased to announce that 2019 fieldwork at the Las Cucharas Gold and Silver Project (\"Las Cucharas\") in Nayarit, Mexico, has discovered and sampled several new mineralized zones. \n\n \n \nThe Las Cucharas represents a historic gold and silver mining area, with well documented small-scale production from 1903 through 1961 of 3,000 kilograms of gold and 30,000 kilograms of silver (Vargas, 1994, COREMI Pub M-12e). It is located in the southern extreme of the mid-Tertiary Sierra Madre Occidental (SMO) volcanic belt, which hosts many of Mexico's gold and silver deposits. The Las Cucharas is considered a low-sulfidation epithermal precious metal system with significant mineralization occurring along a six kilometre northwest-trending structural zone. The project area covers 4,447 hectares in seventeen (17) concessions.\n\n \n \nIn 2018, fieldwork was hampered by an unusually strong hurricane season which brought three separate force five hurricanes and many tropical storms to the region. High rainfall and strong winds resulted in landslides, blocked roads, washed out bridges, and high river levels. Repairs to project access roads were carried out by Terreno from January to March 2019 with a D6 cat. A significant exploration benefit from the extreme weather has been the creation of several new outcrop exposures. \n\n \n \nContinuing fieldwork at Las Cucharas provides evidence of a widespread hydrothermal precious metal system with much greater size potential and continuity than was previously known. Company geologists are working on a regional and property-wide interpretation of the structural controls on gold and silver mineralization in order to develop a reliable geological model for generating drill targets. A total of sixty-one (61) samples have been collected from the new outcrop exposures and assay results are pending. Please see Map 1, which indicates the locations of the new sampled zones. \n\n \n \n1.
