Tarachi Gold Completes Tailings Drilling Program at Magistral Project in Durango, Mexico

20.05.2021  |  CNW

(CSE: TRG)

VANCOUVER, May 20, 2021 - Tarachi Gold Corp. (CSE: TRG) (OTCQB: TRGGF) (FSE: 4RZ) ("Tarachi" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that drill crews have completed the auger drilling program at the Company's wholly owned Magistral Mill and Tailings Project ("Magistral") in Durango, Mexico. The drilling program was part of the resource estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") being prepared by Ausenco Engineering.

Tarachi CEO, Cameron Tymstra, commented: "Completion of this drilling program is the first major step towards commissioning of the Magistral Mill. The drilling crew got off to a delayed start due to delivery delays of the Shelby tube sampling system coming from the U.S., however they made quick work of the drilling, completing all 37 holes in under 3 weeks. Ausenco will now have the material they need to progress with the PEA, the results of which we expect to see in mid-summer."

A total of 37 holes were completed to depths ranging from 1.3 to 14.5 metres using an auger drill and 70-centimetre-long Shelby sample capture tubes (Figure 1 and Figure 2). The samples were logged by the Company's geology team on site and are now en route to a minerals lab in Kamloops, British Columbia. The samples will be assayed and representative composites prepared as part of the metallurgical test work being overseen by Ausenco Engineering. Once received in Kamloops, this test work is expected to take approximately six weeks to complete. The results will provide the information necessary to complete the resource estimate and PEA and determine what, if any, modifications the Company will make to Magistral's flowsheet prior to bringing the facility online in 2022. The delayed start of the tailings drilling is expected to result in a small pushback of the completion of the PEA from the original estimate of end of Q2 to mid-summer.

Tarachi's geological team will be rotating out of the field for roughly two weeks. When crews return to the field in June they will be headed to the Company's San Javier mining concession in Sonora, Mexico. At San Javier, the team will be conducting a follow-up diamond drill program targeting the potential depth extension of a mineralized breccia system discovered during the Company's first drill program at San Javier in 2020 (see press release dated February 16, 2021). Results of which included 11.9g/t Au over 2 metres and 5.39g/t Au over 5.6 metres.

About the Magistral Mill and Tailings Project

  • Acquired by Tarachi Gold from Manto Resources S.A. de C.V. in 2021.
  • Located in Durango, Mexico. Highway-accessible and approximately 5km north of Santa Maria del Oro (pop. 5,000).
  • 1,000tpd custom-built tailings reprocessing mill with Merrill-Crowe circuit and new tailings storage facility.
  • Access to the historic Magistral tailings deposit with an estimated historic resource of 1.3Mt grading 2.05g/t Au (non-NI 43-101 compliant) containing 85,000oz Au.
  • PEA being completed by Ausenco Engineering, expected mid-summer 2021.
  • Plant commissioning planned for 2022 with expected annual gold production of 15,000oz/year at full capacity.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control

Due to the use of 70 cm long Shelby steel tubes to capture the poorly consolidated, tailings cores, no splitting of the cores could be undertaken. Every 70 cm tube core is weighed, photographed and logged by the company's geologists. Each sample consists of two Shelby tube runs which when combined total 1.4 metres in length. These are placed into a plastic bag with sample tag submitted into each bag before being sealed and stored at the campsite in a secure area.

In every batch of 20 samples the company geologists have determined the location of quality control samples consisting of a standard, blank and duplicate sample batches. The samples will be shipped from Hermosillo, Mexico to Base Metallurgical Laboratories in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada via Federal Express. Ausenco Engineering will than oversee the analytical and metallurgical test work.
