Vast Continuous Gold Anomalism Confirmed At El Zorro Gold Project

Extending 10km North From The Ternera Gold Deposit

Tesoro Gold Limited (Tesoro or the Company) (ASX:TSO, OTCQB:TSORF) is pleased to report surface mapping and sampling results confirm continuous gold anomalism within a highly prospective fault corridor extending >10km north from the Ternera Gold Deposit (Ternera).


HIGHLIGHTS

  • Assay results returned from recent mapping and channel sampling at Kitsune and Calderillas confirm a high-potential fault corridor stretching north from Ternera.
  • Results indicate a vast >10km continuous mineralised system extending from south of Ternera at Buzzard, north to Kitsune and continuing to Calderillas (refer Figure 1).
  • Channel sample assays returned from individual intrusive dykes at Kitsune exhibit continuous gold anomalism along 930m of strike, with significant results including:
    • 18.00m @ 1.59g/t Au (EZTR003853), including;
      • 6.00m @ 4.14g/t Au.
    • 66.00m @ 0.32g/t Au (EZTR003842), including;
      • 9.00m @ 1.22g/t Au.
    • 3.00m @ 6.25g/t Au (EZTR003850).
  • Channel sampling at Calderillas returned very high-gold grades, including:
    • 2.00m @ 15.90g/t Au (EZTR003752); and
    • 2.00m @ 3.01g/t Au (EZTR003753).
  • Drilling is ongoing at the Kitsune target, located 3km north of the existing Ternera Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE).

Tesoro Managing Director, Zeff Reeves, commented:

“These latest results continue to highlight the huge potential within the broader El Zorro mineralised system. Our exploration team has delineated what is now a near continuous, outcropping gold system over more than 10km and which is open to the north and south.

Initial drilling is underway at Kitsune to test an area with a surface gold footprint more than twice the size of the existing Ternera Mineral Resource, offering exceptional exploration and resource growth upside. In short, we firmly believe we have all the essential ingredients for the potential discovery of another Ternera-style gold deposit.”

Assay results received for 261 samples collected from detailed channel sampling and mapping programs at the Kitsune and Calderillas targets build on previous sampling programs. Results confirm a >10km anomalous gold zone stretching from the Buzzard target south of Ternera, through Ternera, Kitsune and Calderillas in the north.

Gold mineralisation is strongly controlled by the location of the Dorado Fault Zone (DFZ), particularly where it crosses the favourable El Zorro Tonalite (EZT) intrusive rocks. At Kitsune, a >500m wide prospective corridor has been defined, characterised by brittle deformation and strong alteration with surface gold anomalism. The Kitsune Target is approximately 2.2km wide, with continuous sampling along individual EZT dykes demonstrating continuous gold anomalism of up to 930m of strike.

Numerous secondary structures branching off the DFZ also host gold mineralisation with new results of up to 15.90g/t Au being reported at the Calderillas target, approximately 7.5km north of Ternera. Additional work is planned to further delineate future drill targets at Calderillas.

Samples were collected as continuous rock chips, with prospective rock types outcropping at surface as fresh or weakly oxidized outcrops. This provides a high level of geological information about the nature and controls of gold mineralisation throughout the sampled areas.

Full results and sampling methodologies are presented in the Appendices of this announcement.

Walker Lane Resources Ltd. Notes Unusual Trading Activity and the Development of its New Website

Walker Lane Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: WLR, "Walker Lane") announces that there has been unusual trading activity of its common shares that appeared to initiate on March 27, 2025 and appears to have occurred on each subsequent TSX-V trading day to current day. The recent stock trading activity does not reflect the health of our business or the recent significant value added assets to the property portfolio and adds to the previous undervaluation of the assets that were noted in a research report completed by Fundamental Research Corporation (see CMC Metals Ltd. press release - January 15, 2025). Management considers that some recent market transactions of its common shares could be an organized type of short selling tactic as we cannot determine any other explanation for the unusual downside trading activity.

Top 5 ASX Gold Stocks of 2025

Gold has continued to perform exceptionally well in 2025 and even broke through the AU$5,000 per ounce mark for the first time on April 1, when it reached a new all-time high of AU$5,034.

Markets have experienced significant volatility since the start of US President Donald Trump’s term. Tariff threats have created unease among US allies attempting to avoid a full-scale trade war with the world’s largest economy.

The rising gold price also coincides with increasing tensions in the Middle East, where attacks against Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen have intensified. These and other circumstances have prompted investors to seek the safe haven of gold, leading the yellow metal to repeatedly hit new record-high prices throughout the year.
