Mexican GOLD Announces Signing of Contract FOR Ground Magnetic Survey at Las Minas and Issuance of Bonus Shares
Thunder Bay, Ontario TSX-V: MEX
For Immediate Release July 12, 2017
MEXICAN GOLD ANNOUNCES SIGNING OF CONTRACT FOR GROUND
MAGNETIC SURVEY AT LAS MINAS AND ISSUANCE OF BONUS SHARES
MEXICAN GOLD CORP. (the “Company” or “Mexican Gold”) (TSX-V: MEX) is pleased to announce
that Geofisica TMC SA de CV has been engaged to complete ground magnetic survey at the Cinco
Senores mineralized zone at Las Minas.
The ground magnetic geophysical survey will target potential extensions to the high-grade intercept in step-
out hole LM-17-CS-04, which intersected massive chalcopyrite grading 10.8 g/t gold, 41.7 g/t silver and
2.8% copper gold equivalent over 2.0 metres – see press release dated May 15, 2017 . The strong
chalcopyrite mineralized magnetite intercept was located approximately 100 metres west of mineralized
intercepts outlined by earlier drilling and at the same elevation as the projected El Dorado / Juan Bran
skarn zone – see cross section in Figure 1. When combined with earlier drilling and sampling results,
step-out hole LM-17-CS-04 is believed to be indicative of a potential El Dorado / Juan Bran type zone
at Cinco Senores. The survey will also cover historical mine workings with associated magnetite
mineralization. The high–grade values at Las Minas are associated with skarn-type alteration with high
magnetite content.
Mobilization and commencement of the surveys will be undertaken in mid to late July 2017. Survey results
will be provided when available.
Brian Robertson, President & CEO, stated “The mineralization controls at Las Minas are similar to the
Guerrero Gold belt, which is the site of the Los Filos and Morelos gold deposits. In both areas, the high
gold values are associated with intrusive hosted systems, with initial high magnetite/hematite fluid flows
mobilizing the gold mineralization, followed by later stage precipitation of the magnetite. We anticipate that
the ground magnetic geophysical survey will identify potential gold/magnetite extensions to the high-grade
mineralization intersected in step-out hole LM-17-CS-04 as well as elsewhere at Cinco Senores.

About Las Minas
The Las Minas Project hosts near-surface gold–silver and copper skarn mineralization and high–grade
gold-silver epithermal vein deposits. The project is comprised of six mineral concessions covering
approximately 1,616 hectares (3,995 acres), with several small scale, past-producing mines and numerous
untested targets.
The district is host to one of the largest under-explored gold–silver and copper skarn systems known in
Mexico, and has a production history that extends back to the Aztec era. The Las Minas granodiorite
intrusive measures approximately 10 kilometres in diameter and underlies the Las Minas concessions. The
mineralization controls and association with magnetite appear to be similar to parts of the Guerrero Gold
belt, which is the site of the Los Filos and Morelos gold deposits.
About Mexican Gold Corp.
Mexican Gold Corp. is a Canadian based mineral exploration company committed to building long-term
value through ongoing discoveries and strategic acquisitions of prospective precious metals deposits in
Mexico. Mexican Gold is advancing its Las Minas project towards an initial mineral resource estimate. The
project is located in the core of the Las Minas district in the Veracruz State, Mexico. The district is host to
one of the largest under-explored skarn systems known in Mexico and has a strong production history that
dates back to the Aztec era.
