Tarachi Gold Corp. announced the start of the second phase of underground drilling at the historic La Dura mine on March 1, 2021. The success of the 2020 underground drilling program by Tarachi in holes JAB-20-06/07 demonstrated the potential of the La Dura Zone to continue plunging to the south as indicated in Figure #1. The program entails the completion of four HQ diamond drill holes testing the eastern limits of the zone and exploring its continuation to the south. In addition to the underground drilling at La Dura, a surface RC drill rig will be mobilized to the Jabali mineral concession in mid-March to test the 400m-long area between the La Dura mine and the artisanal workings at Zaragoza. The priority target in this region is the potential intersection of the main N-S trend with the mineralized Baby Doll zone that appears to trend NE. The Jabali concession is located 6km west from Alamos Gold's Mulatos mine, a heap leach operation that has produced over 2Moz of gold since 2005 and still contains an estimated 4Moz of gold in reserves and resources. Jabali is host to the historic La Dura underground mine where an estimated 100,000t of ore grading 3g/t Au was previously mined. The La Dura workings are in an intensively silicified and brecciated rhyolite. Core samples were selected by a geologist and sawed in half. One half of the core remains in the core tray and the other half is placed into a plastic bag. Sample tags were submitted into each bag before being sealed and stored at the campsite in a secure area and were later transported by company truck directly to the Bureau Veritas Mineral Laboratories in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. At the laboratory, the samples were dried, crushed and pulverized with the pulps being sent airfreight for analysis to BVM in Vancouver, B.C. for 37-element ICP analysis after modified aqua regia digestion. Gold assays are done in Hermosillo by 50-gram fire assay with an atomic absorption spectroscopy finish. Samples were checked using a 50-gram fire assay with a gravimetric finish for samples greater than 10ppm Au and 1Kg metallic fire assay with duplicate minus fraction analyzed. Both Hermosillo and Vancouver BVM facilities are ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025 accredited. Laboratory control samples comprising certified reference samples, duplicates and blank samples were inserted by the laboratory into the sample stream and analyzed as part of the quality assurance/quality control protocol.
