Xali Gold Advances on Two Fronts at El Oro
August 28 2024 - 6:00AM
Xali Gold Corp. (TSXV:XGC) ("
Xali Gold” or
“
the Company”) is pleased to advise that it now
has two active projects in the El Oro Mining District, State of
Mexico, Mexico.
“We’re excited to be making progress on two
fronts at El Oro and planning further exploration here,” states
Joanne Freeze, President and CEO of Xali Gold. “In today’s
productive meetings with our partners and government officials in
El Oro, it became clear that our efforts could bring significant
benefits to the local community as well as to our investors. Our
strategy to develop potential revenue streams through local Mexican
partnerships while resuming exploration in both Mexico and Peru is
progressing very well.”
El Oro Underground Project
Xali Gold met with Remedioambiente S.A. de C.V.
(“Remedioambiente”), Mexican subsidiary of Rio
Verde Resources, in El Oro this week to review their field work to
date and discuss how the two Company’s plans for work can benefit
each other and the local community.
Remedioambiente has the exclusive right to
explore and extract gold and silver above the 2400 metre
(“m”) level in the historic mine workings on five
mining concessions in El Oro, in exchange for a 3% Net Smelter
Return (“NSR”) to Xali Gold. Xali Gold retains the
exclusive ownership of all mineral bodies that may be discovered or
delineated below the 2400 m level. See the Company’s July 22, 2024
News Release.
As important as the revenue potential from the
NSR is, the underground access that Remedioambiente plans to open
would be invaluable for Xali Gold’s exploration efforts,
particularly for drilling. Previous drilling demonstrated that gold
and silver mineralization continues for several hundreds of metres
below the historic mine levels and there are many indicators that a
second deeper mineralizing system has been active in El Oro.
Drilling is key to understand and delineate higher grade
targets.
El Oro Tailings Project
Following the successful completion of a 34-hole
drill program for metallurgical test work on the Mexican Mine
Tailings in El Oro, Mexico, samples were shipped to Kappes,
Cassiday and Associates (“KCA”) lab in Reno,
Nevada as announced in the Company’s July 11, 2024 News Release.
Metallurgical testing is underway and results are expected by the
end of Q3 2024.
KCA has the right to process and sell all gold
and silver recovered from the Tailings in return for a gross
royalty of 3 to 4% to Xali Gold as well as an 8% Net Profits
Interest to the municipality of El Oro. See News Releases dated
April 15, 2024 and May 16, 2024.
The tailings are estimated to contain 1.27
million tonnes at a grade of 2.94 grams per tonne
(“gpt”) gold and 75.12 gpt silver (3.85 gpt gold
equivalent) containing 119,900 ounces of gold and 3,061,200 ounces
of silver as per an Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate National
Instrument 43-101 Resource Study in 2014*. KCA’s recent work
indicates an estimated recovery of over 75% of the gold and
silver.
*Note: Mineral Resources are not Mineral
Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. All
figures have been rounded to reflect the accuracy of the estimate.

Report on the Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of the Mexico Mine
Tailings” prepared by Nadia Caira, P.Geo. and Allan Reeves, P.Geo.,

About Xali Gold
Xali Gold has gold and silver projects in Peru
and Mexico. The Company’s flagship project El Oro is a district
scale gold project encompassing a well-known prolific high-grade
gold dominant gold-silver epithermal vein system in Mexico. The
project covers 20 veins with past production and more than 57 veins
in total, from which approximately 6.4M ozs of gold and 74M ozs of
silver were reported to have been produced from just two of these
veins (Ref. Mexico Geological Service Bulletin Nr. 37, Mining of
the El Oro and Tlapujahua Districts. 1920, T. Flores).
Modern understanding of epithermal vein systems
indicates that several of the El Oro district’s veins hold
excellent discovery potential, particularly below and adjacent to
the historic workings of the San Rafael Vein, which was mined to an
average depth of only 200m.
Xali Gold is dedicated to being a responsible
Community partner.
