Sonoro’s President and CEO, Kenneth MacLeod commented on the capital raise.

“We are pleased with the reception this financing has received from investors as it allows us to continue with the development of the Cerro Caliche gold project. We are currently in the permitting phase and anticipate announcing soon an updated NI 43-101 resource estimate that will include the new geological data from our recently completed drilling program. The economic impact of the updated resource on the proposed mine will be contemplated in a further technical report.”

Sonoro’s Chairman, John Darch, added,
“It has been a very challenging market for raising capital and I would like to express my gratitude to our investors for their continued confidence in both our management team and our Cerro Caliche Project.”
