Vicuña District Update: Trench Results Highlight Compelling Copper and Gold Drill targets at Cruz del Sur and Stockwork Hills

Mogotes Metals Inc. (TSX: MOG, FSE:OY4) (“Mogotes”, or the “Company” – – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/mogotes-metals-inc/) announces that first trench results from this seasons sampling program that highlight two compelling Copper Gold and Gold drill targets at the Cruz del Sur and Stockwork Hills prospects, located at the Filo Sur project, in the prolific Vicuña Copper-Gold-Silver district (Figure 1).

CEO Allen Sabet commented: The Cruz del Sur and Stockwork Hills targets are now drill ready and represent in our view compelling drill targets for Mogotes. They have multiple ingredients we like to see: large target footprint scale, strong geochemistry (including compelling vectors in the new trench results) as well as coincident geophysical anomalies in Magnetics, IP and MT at both targets.”

Target 1: Cruz del Sur (CDS) is a large scale covered Au (Cu Ag) target:
• Shallow: The top of the drill target sits approximately 300m below the surface (relatively shallow)
• Low elevation: elevation is approximately 4300m (relatively lower altitude)
• Large: the geophysical target footprint is large scale (700 x 400m footprint)
• Compelling Geophysical signature with coincident:

o Strongly magnetic in ground magnetic 3d inversion (100 to 220 SI*10-3)

o Highly chargeable in IP survey (>75ms to 180ms)

o Strongly conductive in MT survey (up to 32 ohm.m)
• Encouragingly, the CDS trench channel results define an increasing Au (+/- Ag Zn Mo Cu) vector toward the main geophysical target, with the highest gold assay in both trenches (3m at 2.14 g/t Au and 2m at 1.67 g/t Au) the last sample at the SW end of each trench before cover became too deep to trench (Figure 2 and 3).
• Better Au (Zn-Pb-Ag) assays in the trenches related to pyrite (+/- sphalerite) facture veinlets hosted in pyrite-sericite altered volcanics and diorite porphyry (Figure 4 left). Assays results from channel sampling of the trenches include (Table 1):

o Trench CDS T4, 33 m at 0.64 g/t Au, inc. 3 m at 2.41 g/t Au o Trench CDS Ext, 12 m at 0.7 g/t Au, inc. 2 m at 1.67 g/t Au

Target 2: Stockwork Hills (SWH) is a 600m x 200m target:
• Shallow: The top of the drill target starts at approximately 350 metres below the surface (relatively shallow)
• Low elevation: elevation is approximately 4300m (relatively lower altitude)
• Size: the footprint of the geophysical target is approximately 600m x 200m
• Compelling Geophysical signature:

o Highly chargeable in IP survey (>50ms)

o Magnetic anomaly
• Trenching at the SWH prospect tested a high order Cu-Au soil anomaly on the edge of gravel cover.
• Assays from trench channel sampling returning encouraging Cu-Au (Zn-Ag-Mo) results associated with moderate intensity A and B quartz veinlet stockworking with visible supergene (malachite – chrysocolla copper oxides) mineralisation hosted in sericite-clay-silica altered volcanics and diorite dykes (Figure 4 right).
• Assays results from channel sampling of the trenches include o Trench CDS T7, 147m @ 0.2g/t Au and 600 ppm Cu, inc. 12m@ 0.29gt/ Au and 0.32%Cu o Trench CDS T8, 106m @ 0.14g/t Au and 700 ppm Cu, inc. 17m@ 0.27g/t Au and 0.14%Cu
• SWH trenches outline a +400m long, N-S oriented zone of mineralization that projects under gravel cover in both directions. The SWH Cu-Au zone outcrops approximately 350m above a +600m long, strong chargeable (+50ms) and magnetic geophysical anomalies that represents an attractive target for higher grade stockwork Cu-Au-Ag-Mo mineralisation.

Next Steps

  • Geophysical survey (DDIP and VIPMT) progressing well, results anticipated in the coming weeks
  • Assays and complete analysis pending for surface sampling, trenching and mapping campaign at the Meseta, Cumbre, Filon Alunita and Rincon areas

About Mogotes Metals Inc.

Mogotes Metals Inc. is a mineral exploration company exploring for copper and gold in the prospective Vicuña district of Argentina and Chile. Mogotes flagship project, Filo Sur, adjoins the large Filo del Sol Copper-gold-silver discovery, and is along the same N-S trending belt as the Filo Del Sol – Aurora and NGEx Minerals Lunahuasi and Los Helados copper-gold deposits.

Additional Information

The information contained in this news release was accurate at the time of dissemination, but may be superseded by subsequent news release(s). The Company is under no obligation, nor does it intend to update or revise the forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Qualified Persons

The scientific and technical disclosure for the Filo Sur project included in this news release have been reviewed and approved by Stephen Nano who is the Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Nano is a Director and Technical Advisor for the Company.

Mogotes applies industry standard exploration sampling methodologies and techniques. All geochemical soil, stream, rock and drill samples are collected under the supervision of the company’s geologists in accordance with industry practice. Geochemical assays are obtained and reported under a quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) program. Samples from Argentina are dispatched bagged in raffia bags and packaged for shipment by an exclusive truck to the ALS laboratory in Mendoza, Argentina. Samples from Chile are dispatched bagged in raffia bags and delivered to the ALS laboratory in Copiapo, Chile. These facilities carried out sample preparation (PREP-31B) which includes crush to 70 % less than 2 mm, riffle split off 1kg, pulverize to 85% passing 75 microns. The prepared samples are sent to the ALS laboratory in Lima, Peru for gold and multi-element analysis. Gold (Au-ICP21) was analyzed by fire assay fusion with ICP-AES finish on a 30 g sample. Samples were also analyzed for a suit of 48 elements (ME-MS61) with four acid digestion and ICP-MS finish.

Assay results from drill core samples may be higher, lower or similar to results obtained from surface rock, channel, trench samples due to surficial oxidation and enrichment processes or due to natural geological grade variations in the primary mineralization.
