(TSXV:TNO.H) (\"Terreno\" or the \"Company\") George A. Brown, President & CEO, is pleased to announce that the 2019 exploration programs at the Las Cucharas Gold and Silver Project (\"Las Cucharas\") in Nayarit, Mexico, sampled and identified 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 consisting of 4,447 hectares is located on seventeen (17) concessions.\n\n \n \nIn 2018, the planned exploration programs were severely 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 \nThe 2019 exploration programs at Las Cucharas continued to provide additional evidence of a widespread hydrothermal precious metal system with greater size potential and continuity than was previously indicated. Company geologists are focused on a regional and property-wide interpretation of the structural controls on gold and silver mineralization with the intention to develop a reliable geological model for generating potential drill targets. A total of ninety (90) samples were collected from new outcrop exposures. Map 1 indicates the locations of the new sampled zones ...
