Toronto, Ontario / TheNewswire / April 7, 2016: Toachi Mining Inc., ("Toachi" or the "Company") (TSXV-TIM) is pleased to announce that Jonathan Goodman, President of Metaform Investments Inc. and Executive Chairman of Dundee Precious Metals Inc., ("DPM") has been appointed Chairman of the Board of the Company.

Mr. Goodman is well known in the Canadian investment community and brings more than 30 years of diverse financial and technical experience in the Canadian and International mining industry.

As the founder of DPM, Mr. Goodman acted as that company's President and CEO from 1995 to 2013 at which time he became Executive Chairman.

Mr. Goodman joined Goodman & Company, Investment Counsel Ltd. in 1990, where he was responsible for the selection of Canadian equities and played a major role in developing asset allocation strategies, before becoming the company's President. He is also a founder of Goepel Shields and Partners, an investment firm.

Mr. Goodman graduated from the Colorado School of Mines as a Professional Engineer and holds a Master of Business Administration from the University of Toronto. He is also a Chartered Financial Analyst and is a director of several other publicly-traded resource companies.

"We are delighted to have Jonathan join our board as Chairman and look forward to working closely with him as we build Toachi and advance the La Plata project towards production," former Chairman, Director and founder of the Company, Laurence Curtis said.

The La Plata Project

Toachi entered into an option agreement with a private Ecuadorean company to earn between a 60% to 75% interest in the La Plata gold-copper-silver-zinc VMS project, located 85 km south of Quito, Ecuador. For complete terms of the transaction, please see our press release dated February 11, 2016 and available on www.sedar.com

La Plata is a gold-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit which was the subject of small scale mining from both an open pit and underground workings from 1975-1981.

From 1996 to 2000, Cambior Inc., a Canadian mining company, completed 8,628 metres of drilling and a preliminary resource estimate totaling 840,000 tonnes grading 4.8 grams gold per tonne, 4.1% copper, 54.4 grams silver per tonne and 0.7% lead and 4.2% zinc per tonne in 1999, according to a report completed by AMEC Foster Wheeler, a mining consulting firm, in March 2015.

Following a drill program by Cornerstone Capital Resources Inc., which included 5,933 metres of drilling from 2006-2007, a revised mineral resource estimate totaling 913,977 tonnes grading 8.01 grams gold per tonne, 88.3 grams silver per tonne, 5.01% copper, 6.71% zinc and 0.78% lead per tonne in the inferred category was completed.

The resource estimates described above are historical estimates as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects S.2.4 ("NI 43-101"). Toachi has not completed the work required to independently analyze and verify the results of the previous operators nor has a qualified person completed sufficient work to classify the estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. With respect to the Cambior estimate, the Company is also not aware of what categories were used in the estimate. As a result, Toachi is not treating these estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.

The Company believes these historic results provide an indication of the potential of the property and are relevant from an on-going exploration perspective.

Alain Vachon, P. Eng., a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the contents of this press release.
