stated, "
We believe the name change more accurately reflects the
Company's evolution and focus. In Q4 2019, we were an advanced exploration company
expanding our NI 43-101 resource estimate with a large vision to consolidate/acquire key assets in
the Rosario Mining District. Over the last month we have signed two LOIs and are conducting
thorough due diligence on two past-producing silver-gold mines and sizeable adjacent exploration
packages, comprising a wealth of data and infrastructure. We have seized the recent acquisition
opportunities as part of our strategy to become the first company to consolidate the Rosario Mining
District. The LOIs are non-binding with respect to most terms nor have definitive agreements yet
been negotiated or signed for either transaction. Our mission is to continue creating shareholder
value through discovery with low-cost, high-quality acquisitions. Our dedication to increasing the
resource estimate at San Marcial remains strong as we move forward with the due diligence
process".
The name change will be accompanied by a new logo, which will be visible in the coming weeks on
the website and other corporate material.
About Goldplay Exploration Ltd
.
Goldplay has successfully consolidated a district-sized portfolio, owning >250 sq. km of mineral
concessions in the historic
Rosario
gold-silver Mining District in the state of
Sinaloa, Mexico
. Its
flagship project, San Marcial, consists of a 1,250-ha land package located south of the
La Rastra
and Plomosas historic mines. San Marcial is a near-surface, high-grade silver, lead, and zinc open
pit amenable project for which a NI 43-101 resource estimate was completed by Goldplay in early
2019. Additionally, high-grade gold was drilled in
July 2019
at San Marcial, opening up the potential
for further gold success. Goldplay's 100% owned
El Habal
precious metals project is located 20 km
west of the San Marcial Project. It comprises 3,700 hectares and is located 75 km southeast of the
modern coastal port of Mazatlán, and 10 km on a paved road from the historic mining town of
Rosario, Sinaloa, Mexico
.
Goldplay's current focus includes expanding its NI 43-101 resource estimate at the San Marcial
project, which contains 36Moz Ag Eq (indicated) + 11Moz Ag Eq (Inferred), by defining new high-
grade gold and silver targets along the project's 6 km mineralized trend. Goldplay is the first
company to perform exploration work at San Marcial in over 10 years. It is a low-risk development
stage project, fully exploration permitted and supported by the local communities to carry out all
proposed exploration activities. Only
500 m
of the 6 km trend has been drilled to date, highlighting
the significant potential for further discoveries. The Company has identified 8 high-priority targets
along the 6 km trend and is currently drilling two high-priority targets at Faisanes and
Nava
. Some of
these exploration targets consist of old shallow pits, caved shafts and historic shallow underground
workings in areas with extensive hydrothermal alteration, hosted by major regional structures in a
felsic volcanic environment. Mapping and sampling by Goldplay have revealed evidence of dacite-
rhyolite dome structures in a highly prospective geological environment for additional high-grade gold
and silver discoveries.
The El Habal Project is a drill-stage project. Its oxidized gold mineralized zone outcrops along a
series of rolling hills with evidence of historic shallow underground mining along a 6 km-long
prospective corridor. The El Habal Project is located near the historic gold-silver Rosario Mine which
operated for over 250 years.
Goldplay's team has over 30 years of experience with senior roles in exploration, financing, and
development in the mining industry, including over ten years of extensive exploration experience in
the Rosario Mining District, leading to previous successful discoveries.
The NI 43-101 reports for each of the San Marcial and El Habal Projects are available on SEDAR.
