Sonoro Adds El Colorado Concession to Cerro Caliche

SONORO ADDS EL COLORADO CONCESSION TO CERRO CALICHE

VANCOUVER, Canada, September 5 , 2018, Sonoro Metals Corp., (“Sonoro”) (TSXV: SMO) (OTCQB:

SMOFF), announces that its Mexican subsidiary, Minera Mar De Plata, SA de C.V. has executed a formal option

agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with a resident of Magdalena de Kino, Sonora, Mexico (the “Vendor”), to

acquire a 100% interest in the 9 hectare El Colorado concession (“El Colorado”) located within the perimeter of

the Cerro Caliche concessions currently being explored by Sonoro in the prolific Cucurpe Sonora Mega-district

of Sonora, Mexico. The Option Agreement increases the land holdings under option to Sonoro in this important

gold mining district to 1,484 hectares.

The Option Agreement provides for Sonoro to acquire a 100% interest in El Colorado for total consideration to

the Vendor of US$100,000, of which US$50,000 has been paid and the balance due in 6 months.

The El Colorado concession contains a robust set of northwest trending quartz veins bearing gold and associated

silver mineralization. Limited mining of the larger veins is evidenced by tunnels, pits and trenches. Most mining

activity is historic with little data available from older periods of prospection and production. Production was

of artisanal character whe re it is reported by the Vendor that quartz veins were mined which had at least 10

grams gold per tonne , with delivery to regional smelters for both silica as flux and co -payment for contained

precious metals. Production quantities are unknown.

Prior data acquired with the concession includes historic drill information for three 1990’s Cambior drill holes

that contained well-mineralized intervals from a vein system that had workings developed about 70 years ago.

Geologic mapping and sampling complete d on El Colorado by Sonoro has collected more than 50 rock chip

samples and located seven high gold content through -going veins with large areas of surrounding lesser

mineralized quartz stockwork and sheeted quartz veinlet zones. This data is supplemented by another 150 older

surface chip sample results from historic exploration programs. The targets within the concession are both high

grade underground vein zones and near surface large volume lower grade mineralized zones. Values range from

anomalous up to more than 5 grams gold content.

“Our Hermosillo-based exploration team, headed by noted geologist Mel Herdrick, has finalized the planning of

a drill program for the Cerro Caliche concessions, including El Colorado ,” said Kenneth MacLeod, President

and CEO of Sonoro. “A drill plan has been submitted to the Mexican federal environmental agency, Semarnat,

for review and approval and a response is expected shortly.”

The Cucurpe Sonora Mega -district includes Premier Gold’s Mercedes gold mine; Goldgroup Mining’s Cerro

Prieto gold mine; Agnico Eagle’s recently purchased Santa Gertrudis gold mine; and other gold mineralized

prospect areas.

properties adjacent to or in proximity to Cerro Caliche is not necessarily indicative of mineralization on Cerro

Caliche.
