Goldplay’s Nava Gold Discovery Continues to Grow as New Surface Continuous Channel Sampling Returns Wide Gold Intersection of 24 m at 2.1 g/t Au, Including 5 m @ 4.0 g/t Au

Goldplay President and CEO Marcio Fonseca commented, ‘A high grade gold zone containing 24 m at 2.11 g/t Au, has provided the Company with encouragement that the Nava target could host a significant body of gold mineralization in a low sulphidation epithermal system. Located west of the previous Nava trenches, it opens up a large unexplored area between the trenches and along strike for additional exploration potential for new discoveries in the San Marcial Project. The drilling program in progress will test below these two Nava target areas for depth continuity and additional understanding of the mineralized system.’

N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng, and CEO, remarked, ‘We are pleased with these initial positive underground high-grade results but caution that they are preliminary in nature and should not be considered representative of an increase in the overall Babicanora Vein resource estimation. That being said, these results represent a significant first step toward understanding the grade variability and potential upside of the deposit as we continue to de-risk the project.’

Sable Resources Permitted to Drill Vinata Project

Tom Obradovich, President and CEO, stated, ‘We are excited to be close to the initial drilling at Vinata. The Vinata target was discovered as a result of a large regional geochemical survey that lead to the discovery of an upper level epithermal vein system located close to the world class CRD deposits of Santa Eulalia and Naica and to the new large vein Ag-Zn-Pb discovery of Los Gatos. This is a real boots and hammer discovery that characterized our systematic exploration approach and the generation of new high-quality targets.’
