Almaden Minerals Ltd. (“Almaden” or “the Company”; TSX: AMM; NYSE American: AAU) is pleased to announce new assay results from Almaden’s ongoing exploration and development program at the Company’s Tuligtic project, Mexico. One drill rig is focused on step-out exploration drilling outside of the established resource area. A second drill rig is drilling holes for metallurgical samples related to the ongoing Feasibility Study. Where possible holes also serve as resource infill holes, as does the hole reported today, TU-17-513 drilled on section 10+600 East. This infill hole intersected the Main Ixtaca Zone vein swarm. Highlights include the following intercepts:
Hole TU-17-513 SECTION 10+600 EAST Az. 150, Dip -55
184.00 meters @ 1.25 g/t Au and 54.0 g/t Ag (2.03 g/t AuEq, or 140.3 g/t AgEq)
Including 32.50 meters @ 2.02 g/t Au and 109.2 g/t Ag (3.60 g/t AuEq, or 248.6 g/t AgEq) And 24.15 meters @ 1.58 g/t Au and 102.9 g/t Ag (3.07 g/t AuEq, or 211.9 g/t AgEq) And 25.00 meters @ 4.08 g/t Au and 91.7 g/t Ag (5.41 g/t AuEq, or 373.2 g/t AgEq)
1 Gold equivalent (“AuEq”) and silver equivalent (“AgEq”) values are calculated assuming a silver to gold ratio of 69:1.
