Almaden Confirms New Zone of High-Grade Mineralisation Within PFS Pit Hits 1.00m of 237.00 g/t Gold Plus 232.0 g/t Silver Within 38.60m of 7.92 g/t Gold and 14.9 g/t Silver (Uncut)

J.D. Poliquin, chairman of Almaden stated, “These results again show the potential of the Ixtaca gold silver deposit to grow. As I have stated before, while Ixtaca is a prominent new discovery of gold and silver reserves, we are clearly only at the beginning of the discovery cycle at this project. We have a two-pronged approach. On the one hand we are focussed on developing the Ixtaca deposit into a significant precious metals producer in Mexico, and engineering work and studies on a Feasibility Study are progressing well. At the same time we have in front of us the opportunity for additional discovery and resource growth. We are at the top of a fully preserved epithermal system and over the next several months exploration drilling will also test for additional vein zones beneath alteration elsewhere on the project.”
