Sonoro Gold Corp. (SGO) released results from an underground channel sampling program at its Cerro Caliche gold project.

The highest gold grades ranged from 0.624 g/t Au to 7.863 g/t Au, with the five sample cuts averaging 3.5 meters of 3.071 g/t Au. The highest assay value of 7.863 g/t Au was across two metres from a vein-perpendicular saw cut with continuation in the vein hanging wall, including two additional samples with veinlets and a composite 4.6 meters at 4.93 g/t Au.

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

“The underground channel sampling yielded valuable data that we anticipate will augment the data obtained from our recent surface sampling and drilling programs completed in the same area. As previously announced, an updated resource estimate is being prepared and will incorporate all geological data to date.”

Sonoro’s Chairman, John Darch, added,

“The positive results from the Cabeza Blanca South tunnel sampling program continue to highlight the intrinsic value of the project and underline the board’s ongoing commitment to develop the proposed heap leach mining operation at Cerro Caliche.”

Samples were obtained from a historic underground tunnel at the Cabeza Blanca mineralized gold zone in the southwestern part of the property.

The program was conducted as part of the company’s plan to develop a proposed heap leach mining operation.

Sonoro Gold is an exploration and development company holding the near-development-stage Cerro Caliche project and the exploration-stage San Marcial project in Sonora State, Mexico.

Sonoro Gold Corp. (SGO) is trading steady at C$0.145.
