Xali Gold Signs New Exploration and Production Agreement on El Dorado20.05.2021 | 21:38 Uhr | GlobeNewswire
VANCOUVER, May 20, 2021 - Xali Gold Corp. (TSXV:XGC) ("Xali Gold" and/or the "Company") is pleased to advise that the company has signed a new Exploration and Production Agreement ("EPA") with Ingenieros Mineros, S.A. de C.V. ("IMSA") on the El Dorado Gold-Silver Project, located in Nayarit State, Mexico. The EPA gives Xali Gold the right to explore and produce gold, silver and other metals for life of mine. Under the EPA, Xali Gold has the obligation to pay IMSA the following (all amounts are in US$):
Once in production, mineralization is planned to be processed in the nearby SDA plant under acquisition from Magellan Acquisitions. In preparation for production, Xali Gold is actively preparing the requisite permit applications as well as those required to conduct precursor exploration activities. Planned exploration activities will include re-establishing underground access for mapping, rock chip and bulk sampling with a goal of defining high grade zones. The EPA replaces Xali Gold's right to assume the rights and obligations of a previous Lease Agreement between Magellan Acquisitions and IMSA which had a fixed 5 year term and a 3.5% NSR payable for all years to IMSA. Ongoing and Completed Activities 3D Modelling Permitting Planned Activities Underground Rehabilitation, Mapping and Sampling The El Dorado Property Location, Geology and Mineralization The El Hundido and El Dorado mines occur within The El Dorado vein trend which extends over a strike length of 3.5 km with widths exceeding tens of meters containing numerous parallel veins and vein breccias. In addition, high level silicification and argillic alteration on surface indicate depth potential to the mineralizing system. For these reasons, exploration potential outside of the area of historical mining and Prospero Silver Corp.'s ("Prospero") (previous operator) drilling is believed to be excellent. ("Magellan Gold Corp., Form 10-K Annual Report US SEC dated Dec 31, 2018, File No. 333-174287") Available in https://xaligold.com/site/assets/files/5806/sda-plant-and-el-dorado-annual-report-magellan-copy.pdf Both the north-easterly striking as well as east-west striking splits of the main structure exhibit structural complexity and potential for multi-meter wide precious metal mineralization. Anomalous base metal assays (100's to 1000's of parts per million lead, zinc and copper) are ubiquitous as evidenced by the common occurrence of visible galena, sphalerite and chalcopyrite in outcrop and dumps. The El Dorado vein system has a history of small-scale mining from two veins in the El Hundido and El Dorado mines (see News Release April 28, 2020 https://xaligold.com/news-releases/candente-gold-announces-new-growth-strategy-2632/) but four veins with parallel high-grade zones have been delineated in the new Leapfrog model. Additionally, several vein targets have been identified along trend for follow-up exploration. Historical Work Prospero explored the El Dorado property between 2010 and 2011. Their drilling intersected multiple steeply-dipping silicified mineralized zones extending from near-surface to the 180 metre ("m") drilled depth and over a strike length of 440m. Prospero intersected grades ranging from 3 to 40 grams per tonne ("gpt") gold and 57 to 500 gpt silver over true widths ranging from 0.52 to 11.2 m. (https://xaligold.com/site/assets/files/5802/sedardoc4391012.pdf) Significant results reported by Prospero on Dec 10, 2010 included: Mineralization in the El Hundido historical mine area was reported to range from 1.45 to 11.22m (true widths) and given economics at the time (1900 to 1983) grades mined are assumed to have exceeded 10 gpt gold. Drill intersections near the edges of the mined areas show grades of 49.8 gpt gold over 3m; 13.9 gpt gold over 1.45m and 8.6 over 2.3m. The following longitudinal section by Prospero shows the drilling pattern along the El Dorado vein in the area of the Hundido and El Dorado mines, along with summary drill hole intersection grades and widths.

Figure 1 is available at https://xaligold.com/site/assets/files/5494/el-dorado-vein_long-section.pdf About Xali Gold Xali Gold has launched a comprehensive growth strategy to build a cash flowing business platform and gain access to properties with near surface exploration potential while maintaining El Oro as its flagship asset and an integral part of the overall growth strategy. The acquisition of the SDA Plant, the El Dorado historic mines and the Cocula Project signify important initial steps. The Company is currently evaluating other properties that are complementary to the SDA plant, El Dorado and the Cocula Project. Joanne C. Freeze, P.Geo., President, CEO and Director and Matthew Melnyk, CPG., Director Operations and Director are Qualified Persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101 for the projects discussed above, however, they have not been able to visit the El Dorado Project nor the SDA Plant recently due to COVID virus travel restrictions. The work discussed in the News Release is either historical and documented by public records or conducted by Mexican professionals with qualifications similar to those of QP's registered in Canada. Ms. Freeze and Mr. Melnyk have reviewed and approved the contents of this release.
