Magna Gold Corp. Enters Into Definitive Agreement to Acquire San Judas Gold Project in Sonora, Mexico

09.01.2020  |  GlobeNewswire

TORONTO and NEW YORK, Jan. 09, 2020 - Magna Gold Corp. (TSXV: MGR, OTCQB: MGLQF) (“Magna” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce that, further to its announcement on September 30, 2019, it has entered into an exploration and option to purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) dated January 06, 2020, with Ricardo Estanislao Carranza Leon, Maria del Rosario Mendivil Bejarano and Ernesto Villaescusa Cordova (the “Concessionaires”), individuals resident in the Sonora State of Mexico, pursuant to which the Corporation has acquired the option (the “Option”) to acquire a 100% undivided interest of two mining claims (the “San Judas Project”) located in the municipality of Trincheras, Sonora, Mexico, for a five-year period (the “Transaction”). The transaction is an Exempt Transaction under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) and consequently, approval of the Exchange is not required.

The Project consists of two contiguous claims covering an aggregate area of approximately 2,806 hectares located approximately 240 kilometers north-west along the Federal Highway 16 from the state capital, Hermosillo (Figure 1).

In consideration of the grant of the Option, Magna will (i) pay to the Concessionaires an aggregate of USD$1,680,000 plus VAT of 16%, paid in installments commencing on the effective date of the Agreement (the “Effective Date”) and ending on the 60th month from the Effective Date; and (ii) issue to the Concessionaires a 1.5% net smelter returns (“NSR”), capped at USD$1,500,000 and subject to the right of the Corporation to acquire all 1.5 percentage points of the NSR at a price of USD$500,000 per half (1/2) percentage point, at any time.

San Judas Project

The project is located at the southern end of the Caborca Orogenic Gold Belt or Sonora Mojave Mega Shear, a trend known to host multiple orogenic gold-bearing deposits within an area extending from north-western Mexico into the southwestern United States measuring more than 600 km long and 60 to 80 km wide. Of the deposits within the Caborca Orogenic Gold Belt there are a number of large open pit heap leach gold operations such as La Herradura, Soledad-Dipolos and Nochebuena (Fresnillo PLC), San Francisco mine (Alio Gold Inc.), Cerro Colorado (Goldgroup Mining Inc.) and El Chanate (Alamos Gold Inc.). Historic estimates of the combined gold reserves and resources identified within the trend to date total in excess of 10 million ounces (Izaguirre et al., 2017), which is based on prior data and reports obtained and prepared by previous operators (Figure 2).

San Judas is an early stage exploration project hosting structurally controlled mineralization within lithologies similar in age to the La Herradura and San Francisco gold mines. The project is underlain by a basement composed of a Precambrian aged igneous-metamorphic sequence including granite, gneiss, pegmatites and schists. Augen gneiss is locally present and is likely derived from pegmatitic granitic protolith. The entire sequence is affected by multiple deformations and the emplacement of intrusions such as leucocratic granites and andesitic dikes.

Structural and lithological interpretation of available data suggest the mineralized structures, characterized by gold-bearing quartz veins and mineralized quartz-sericite altered hanging-wall rocks extend under the surface. Magna is currently carrying out a comprehensive surface exploration program including geological and structural mapping, trenching and reconnaissance sampling in conjunction with a surface geophysical program to define targets in anticipation of a maiden drilling campaign.
