San Marco Secures Drill Permits for Chunibas

By 2016

Vancouver, B.C. – December 13th, 2016: San Marco Resources Inc. (SMN: TSX-V) (“San Marco” or the “Company”) announces receipt of all necessary permits from the Mexican environmental and natural resources ministry, Secretaría del Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales (SEMARNAT) allowing the Company to carry out additional surface exploration activities, including trenching and drilling, on its Chunibas property. As announced November 1st, 2016, the Company also has agreements with local ejidos(communal agricultural land authorities) allowing surface access for an indefinite period.

The Chunibas property is an intrusive hosted, intermediate sulphidation gold system, together with anomalous concentrations of silver, copper, lead and zinc. Gold is hosted in shear zones of various orientations with mineralization open in all directions. Historic drill results demonstrate that significant gold values occur not only within discrete, metric scale structures but within broad haloes of lower grade material.

Chunibas surface exploration will continue until about December 15th, 2016 and then re-commence in mid-January 2017 after data review and budget approvals. An extensive soil sampling program covering the primary mineralized area (1.5 km X 1.0 km) has been conducted. A total of 850 samples were collected and submitted for analyses. San Marco expects that final assay results will be announced in early January 2017.

The primary purpose of this extensive sampling program is to confirm covered projections of known mineralized structures, as well as new targets buried under the thin veneer of colluvial sediments that cover approximately 80% of the property. Reconnaissance soil sampling completed during 2015 demonstrates this is a successful and cost-effective means to trace mineralization under cover.

During the current phase of work, mineralized structures have been identified over a broad area, which extends up to one kilometre west from the main historic mine workings. An additional 250 soil samples are being collected covering this expanded target footprint. Although surface outcrop is restricted, select sampling of informal mine workings and sub-cropping shear zones have yielded significant gold assays up to 46.1 g/t gold.

All rock chip and soil sample results will be integrated into a new geochemical map of the project area, which can then be utilized to generate new drill targets.

San Marco’s CEO, Bob Willis states “Chunibas continues to show us we have yet to find the limits of the mineralization in all directions. Based on our revised geological model and expanded deposit footprint, we are confident that the 2016 program will lead to further exploration and diamond drilling. “

San Marco Announces Warrant Exercise and Exploration Update

By 2016

Vancouver, B.C. – November 9th, 2016: San Marco Resources Inc. (SMN: TSX-V) (“the Company” or “San Marco”) announces that, during the period July 1, 2016 to October 31 2016, $642,250 was received by the Company from the exercise of 8,213,000 warrants.

San Marco’s CEO, Bob Willis stated; “As a result of our stated business plan to aggressively pursue the multitude of target areas generated by the Globetrotters/San Marco partnership, we asked our San Marco warrant holders if they would be willing to exercise their warrants much earlier than their expiry. Results so far are a testament to the quality and belief by our shareholders that significant value will result from this request, while striving to preserve our reasonable share structure.”

In addition to the continued exploration at the Company’s 100% controlled Chunibas property, (please see news release dated Nov. 1, 2016), field exploration efforts continue to confirm significant targets being identified from field examination of the Globetrotters/SMN database.

Initial field evaluation of Target # 1068, acquired through the recent Libertad, indicates the presence of a porphyry copper system hosted by Laramide plutonic and volcanic rocks. Typical porphyry copper zoned alteration (propylitic, phyllic and potassic alteration) of a quartz diorite porphyry, hosts evidence of copper (chalcopyrite, chalcocite) and molybdenite mineralization. Detailed mapping, rock chip and stream sediment sampling are scheduled to commence next week.

As well, Company geologists will return to an apparent epithermal high sulphidation gold/silver target, where volcanic and volcanoclastic rocks exhibit advanced argillic alteration. Dacite breccias and pyroclastics show quartz/alunite alteration and vuggy silica areas where sampling will commence shortly.

San Marco Secures Surface Access at Chunibas, Continues Exploration Activities in Preparation for Drilling

By 2016

Vancouver, B.C. – November 1st, 2016: San Marco Resources Inc. (SMN: TSX-V) (“the Company” or “San Marco”) announces that surface right access agreements have been reached with the local ejidos (community landowners) at the Company’s 100% controlled Chunibas project, Sonora, Mexico. The agreements are an essential step, allowing San Marco to advance the permitting process for planned mechanical trenching and drilling at Chunibas. The agreements are for an indefinite period, and are subject to reasonable annual payments.

Chunibas mineralization consists of variably oxidized, shear / vein gold occurrences, hosted in an intermediate intrusive of Cretaceous age. The area contains numerous prior workings, which testify to the presence of locally high-grade free gold in the near surface. Past workers completed several widely spaced reconnaissance RC drill holes at varying orientations in 1997. Results of that drilling included the following near surface intercepts*;

  • 1.04 g/t gold over 42.6 metres, including 1.25 g/t gold over 30.4 metres.
  • 2.04 g/t gold over 22.9 metres, including 4.4 g/t gold over 9.1 metres
  • 2.80 g/t gold over 15.2 metres, including 6.20 g/t gold over 6.1 metres.

Driving structures are thought to be oriented north – south; east-west bridging shears and stockworks occur between the main faults. The stockworks developed at the intersections of these two structural orientations are key to localization of higher grade gold. This is a well-organized, structurally controlled gold system which appears open in all directions, and which has been tested to only 60 metres below surface. Click here to view map.

Mineralized shear/veins are generally 1 – 2 metres in width, but are surrounded by haloes of lower grade stockworks, breccias and fractures that constitute broader targets. This disseminated style of mineralization occurs in intrusive host rock without visible vein or shear development.

Recent field studies have led the Company to reclassify the exploration model for Chunibas as intermediate sulfidation or intrusion-related rather than low sulfidation epithermal as past workers assumed. The company believes there is real potential for both bulk tonnage, near surface deposits as well as high grade, underground mineable resources.

San Marco field crews are currently completing detailed geological mapping and sampling within the 800 X 800 meter area of known mineralization. Preliminary work has already identified additional mineralized structures to the west, where follow up detail sampling is ongoing (please see the Company’s news release dated December 14th, 2014 for more details regarding Chunibas). Many of these newly discovered structures trend under alluvial cover. Crews will shortly begin a 1.25 by 1.25 kilometre soil geochemical survey to aid in tracing new and existing zones under cover. In addition, San Marco is working to acquire all historic geological and geophysical data to better plan for future exploration. Permit applications for trenching and drilling have been submitted to SEMARNAT and are expected to be approved before year-end.

San Marco’s CEO, Bob Willis stated; “we’re excited to be back at work at Chunibas, completing the multi-faceted exploration program the project deserves. Initial work has shown that mineralization is much more extensive than records indicated, and that there is potential for bulk tonnage zones in addition to narrow, high-grade targets. The current program will position us to carry out an efficient and cost effective program of trenching and drilling on this 100% owned project.

San Marco in Partnership with GlobeTrotters Acquires 3 Prospective Properties in Sonora Mexico

By 2016

Vancouver, B.C. – September 13th, 2016: San Marco Resources Inc. (SMN: TSX-V) (“San Marco” or the “Company”) announces the staking of the first three new concessions in Sonora State, Mexico, to protect target areas generated as part of the GlobeTrotters Resource Group Inc. (“GlobeTrotters”) / San Marco partnership (the “GSM Partnership”, see the San Marco News Release of May 5th 2016 for further details).

Three separate mineral concessions totalling 25,967 hectares have been staked to protect new target areas with favourable characteristics based on remote sensing, known favourable geology and regional structural framework permissiveness for economic mineralization as defined by GSM Partnership parameters. All three concessions are presently undergoing initial field evaluations by San Marco geologists. It is worth noting that several smaller internal concessions within the staked areas could result in the reported concession size being slightly reduced. Details on each concession area are as follows:

La Caridad Este (9040 hectares appl.) covers a large hydrothermal alteration zone occurring along a major east-west trending structural lineament which also appears to intersect the 1.5 billion tonne La Caridad open-pit porphyry Cu-Mo deposit operated by Groupo Mexico located 27 kilometres to the west. A first pass assessment of the property has outlined a large hydrothermal alteration zone associated with a highly altered porphyritic andesite. Initial field investigations indicate the presence of an argillic altered and oxidized lithocap with indications of Cu-oxide mineralization. Lithocaps commonly overlie fully preserved porphyry systems so these preliminary results are encouraging, but more work is required to evaluate the full potential of this large property. The next stage of field work will include geological mapping, stream sediment and rock chip sampling, as well as PIMA spectral analysis of alteration minerals.

Aqua Zarca (4309 hectares appl.) located in northern Sonora, and is underlain by Cretaceous clastic and volcanic rocks. Regional field studies by the SGM (Servicio Geologico Mexicano) have shown highly anomalous gold values from stream sediment sampling in watercourses draining the property area. Reconnaissance field work has outlined an Fe-oxide filled crackle breccia within locally silicified, argillic altered sandstones. Preliminary results look encouraging but more work is required to evaluate the potential of this property to host a mineralized epithermal Au-Ag system.

La Pitahaya (12,618 hectares appl.) located in northeastern Sonora, was staked to cover a large GSM Partnership derived hydrothermal alteration target associated with Cretaceous volcanic rocks overlying Proterozoic gneisses and Cretaceous limestone, all cut by younger suite of intrusive rocks. The presence of hydrothermally altered volcanic rocks in close proximity to a major fault-controlled uplifted block of basement gneisses in a continental arc geological setting is considered an excellent geological environment for the emplacement of porphyry and related epithermal systems.

The Company has also staked four new concessions that were made available under the Mexican government’s “Libertad” system. The Libertad system is a lottery that allows competing parties to make multiple applications, each with a separate fee, for a given concession area. Government authorities then perform a draw to randomly choose the winning application for a given area. San Marco will disclose the details of any concessions it gains through this process once it has been notified of the results of the lotteries. In parallel to field evaluation of newly staked concessions and Libertad opportunities, discussions are ongoing with concession owners where high priority targets are currently situated on previously staked ground.

San Marco’s CEO, Bob Willis stated; “We’re extremely pleased with the early results of the GSM Partnership’s targeting efforts. As we hoped, application of these techniques generated numerous new targets throughout the states of Sonora, allowing us to quickly focus on the highest potential areas. Interestingly, some of these areas appear to be lightly explored or even unexplored, though some lie in close proximity to well-known major deposits. Early results have increased our confidence that this method will allow us to rapidly prioritize new projects with cost effective reconnaissance techniques.

“This process should result in the application for a large number of concessions in coming months. Most of these won’t meet our strict guidelines for advancement after cursory field examinations. This is an expected outcome. San Marco fully expects the process will result in a large but manageable set of concessions with high potential targets available for advancement by San Marco or partner companies. Management views this as an excellent way to maximize shareholder value and is pleased with the rapid progress to date. We will update shareholders regularly as new target areas are added and results of initial fieldwork are obtained. Work on existing projects outside the GSM Partnership also continues and will be reported on in the near future”.
