Turmalina Metals Corp. announced results from continued surface work at the company's 403 km2San Francisco project located in the prolific mining province of San Juan, Argentina (the Project or San Francisco). Following the recent discovery of the high-grade epithermal gold vein system at Veta Rica field work has focused on mapping and sampling the surrounding area.

This surface work has discovered multiple mineralized veins in the immediate vicinity of Veta Rica and has also discovered two new zones of similar epithermal mineralization located approximately two and four kilometres northwest of Veta Rica: the Machete and Destino systems respectively. Highlights of Veta Rica Target Area: Recent mapping has traced the Veta Rica epithermal vein for over 700 m on surface with surface widths of 1 to 6 m: Surface gold assays are typically between 0.9 and 2.7 g/t Au but with higher grade zones of up to 56.6 g/t Au; This mapping has also identified multiple mineralized veins adjacent to, and parallel with, the Veta Rica vein with similar average grades (typically 0.45 to 4 g/t Au). Detailed sampling is underway to identify potential high-grade zones in these newly discovered veins; Recently announced drill holes at Veta Rica returned: 4.4 m at 6.4 g/t Au; SFDH-078 from 36.6 m Including 0.5 m at 28.6 g/t Au from 36.6 m And 0.45 m at 14.12 g/t Au from 38.85 m. 8.75 m at 3.5 g/t Au; SFDH-079 from 42 m Including 6.0 m at 4.6 g/t Au from 42 m Including 1.18 m at 17.9 g/t Au from 42 m. Highlights of Destino Target Area: A new system with at least four parallel epithermal quartz veins, and two adjacent breccias, located 3 km northwest of Veta Rica; Initial sampling (56 samples) of the veins, each with over 200 m of strike length, returned similar gold grades to Veta Rica, with 10 samples over 1 g/t Au, up to a maximum of 6.1 g/t Au; In the southern portion of the Destino target area, 34 samples taken from a 100 by 130 m breccia pipe (the Tiki-Tiki breccia) returned four samples over 1 g/t, up to a maximum of 22 g/t Au, 227 g/t Ag and 0.9% Pb.

Highlights of Machete Vein zone: Located between Veta Rica and Destino, 2.7 km northwest of Veta Rica drilling, 3 rock chip samples taken from the Machete epithermal quartz vein returned grades of 1.1 to 2.7 g/t Au and 28 to 170 g/t Ag. Follow up sampling is underway.
