Vancouver - Turmalina Metals Corp. ('Turmalina', or the 'Company'; TBX-TSXV, TBXXF-OTCQX) is pleased to provide an update with regards to ongoing and accelerating fieldwork on multiple regional target areas within the San Francisco Project ('San Francisco' or the 'Project').

In July the Company announced an expansion of the project area from 3,400 ha to 34,600 ha. This land assembly process took place over a two-year period and was conducted concurrently with successful drilling at the SFdLA breccia which has resulted, to-date, in multiple lengthy intercepts of high-grade copper, gold and silver.

Exploration of this newly acquired ground is a high priority, with current field work including an extensive soil sampling campaign and the detailed mapping and sampling of high-priority targets. Results from this initial exploration are highly encouraging with multiple breccia and vein systems returning significant assays.

After receiving these early positive results, Turmalina has accelerated fieldwork with the collection of over 3200 soil samples and the detailed rock chip sampling of 16 prospects (more than 2000 rock chips, with 1500 assays returned to date). This work has discovered gold-silver-copper mineralization at several breccia and vein systems including: Los Pirquineros: Two adjacent 30 and 70m wide quartz-tourmaline-sulphide breccia pipes that have returned rock chip samples of 0.7 to 3.5 g/t Au, 10 to 145 g/t Ag and 0.2 to 1.2 % Cu

NW Santa Barbara: a 100m diameter tourmaline breccia pipe returning assays of 1 to 2 % Cu (maximum 16 % Cu), 3 to 15 g/t Ag (maximum 1650 g/t Ag) and 0.2 g/t Au.

Tocota 1: A quartz-tourmaline-sulphide vein system that extends for over 1 km in strike length with results of 1-5 g/t Au (maximum 9.2 g/t), 1-5 g/t Ag (maximum 38 g/t) and 0.1 to 0.5 % Cu.

Ethan: a 100m diameter tourmaline breccia pipe that has returned rock chip values of up to 3.3 g.t Au, 23 g/t Ag and 5.2 % Cu

The Miranda vein system: three parallel quartz-tourmaline-sulphide vein arrays up to 8 m wide with strike lengths of 900 to 1600m. Rock chips have returned up to 6.0 % Cu, 3.9 g/t Au and 593 g/t Ag.

Santa Barbara (IPEEM): Four 20 to 200 m wide tourmaline breccia pipes have returned rock chip assays of up to 3.3 g/t Au, 11 g/t Ag and 0.6 % Cu.

Amarilla Vein: a 900m long vein, up to 6 meters thick, composed of saccharoidal quartz and secondary Pb carbonates have returned rock chip results up to 1.8 g/t Au, 565 g and 26 % Pb.

For reference, sampling of the weathered 'leached zone' above the high-grade SFdLA breccia pipe has average values of
