GUADALUPE, Aug 18, 2011 - Sonora Resources Corp. (OTCBB: SURE) ("Sonora" or the "Company"), a mineral exploration and development Company focused on the acquisition of international silver and gold mining properties is pleased to announce it has entered into a Letter of Intent ("LOI") to acquire the group of claims surrounding the recently acquired 49 hectare La Mazata Silver Mine and Ayones Property in the Mexican State of Jalisco.
Sonora's President Juan Miguel Rios states, "This LOI represents a major building block in Sonora's future. It gives us the opportunity to secure the lands that directly surround the recently acquired mineral-rich La Mazata Silver Mine and the Ayones property. We believe that the silver and gold veins flow from the Ayones property onto the adjacent group of claims and this clearly calls for additional investigation."
The agreement has been structured through Sonora's wholly owned Mexican subsidiary Finder Plata S.A. DE C.V. and proposes to acquire a 721 hectare land package known as the Corazon group of claims. The property hosts silver and gold mineralization with significant potential. The properties contain the same epithermal veins system as identified and documented in the La Mazata historic mine workings, which trend to the South East extending into the Corazon lands.
The potential to increase the mineral resource estimate within the Corazon claims area is very promising based on historic production data from the La Mazata Mine combined with the results from a 1988 Grupo Mexico diamond drill campaign, which identified five veins open to the South East and virtually untouched vertically in the Corazon area.
The Company is working diligently to close the transaction with the current owners of the property and hopes to make a further announcement regarding its completion as soon as commercially possible.
The Definitive Agreement shall contain customary representation and warranties, covenants and indemnification provisions. Additional details regarding the Company, its business and agreements are filed as part of the Company's continuous public disclosure as a reporting issuer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") EDGAR database.
