Calgary, Feb. 15, 2022 - San Lorenzo Gold Corp. ("San Lorenzo" or the "Company") (tsxv :slg) (OTC :snlgf) announces that it has begun diamond drill pad construction for its upcoming diamond drill program and has expanded the Induced Polarization ("IP") chargeability anomaly on its large scale Copper - Gold Porphyry Salvadora Project ("Salvadora") (Figure 2). With all necessary government approvals in place, a diamond drill contractor retained and drill pad construction underway diamond drilling will commence at the end of February and will focus on the CMZ zone (Figure 1). In 2021, San Lorenzo initiated an IP survey that extended existing survey lines and covered untested portions of the Property. The survey was successful in expanding the strong annular chargeability anomaly at CMZ to approximately six square kilometres and delineated a new chargeability anomaly at the CAZ zone. The CMZ zone (Figure 1) is approximately eight square kilometres of intense alteration coincident with high copper in soils and the strong Induced Polarization ("IP") chargeability anomaly. Drilling in 2018 on the CMZ zone intersected the edges of a porphyry copper-gold system with encouraging grades of:
-
154 metres of 0.28% copper and 0.08 g/t gold
-
35 metres of 0.28% copper and 0.11 g/t gold
