SONORO GOLD ANNOUNCES FULLY-COMMITTED $11 MILLION
PRIVATE PLACEMENT & 50,000 METER DRILLING PROGRAM
VANCOUVER, Canada, April 7, 2026– Sonoro Gold Corp. (TSXV: SGO | OTCQB: SMOFF
| FRA: 23SP) (“Sonoro” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a fully-committed non-
brokered private placement offering (the "Offering") consisting of 45,833,333 units (the “Units”)
at a price of CAD $0.24 per Unit, for gross proceeds of CAD $11,000,000.
Each Unit will be composed of one Sonoro common share and one common share purchase
warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one additional Sonoro
common share for a period of three years from the closing of the private placement at an
exercise price of CAD $0.32 per share.
Proceeds of the Offering will be used to complete a two phase 50,000-meter drilling program
at the Company’s flagship Cerro Caliche gold project in Sonora, Mexico.
Sonoro President & CEO Kenneth MacLeod commented, “This financing will not only
strengthen our balance sheet but will also fund the potential expansion of the Cerro Caliche
epithermal vein structure into the recently acquired north and south extensions. Our primary
objective remains advancing Cerro Caliche into production, and we are excited to start growing
the project’s known mineralized system with a targeted drilling campaign.”
The Offering is expected to close on or about April 30, 2026, and no finder’s fees will be paid
in connection with the Offering.
All securities issued and issuable in connection with the Offering will be subject to a 4-month,
plus one day, hold period in Canada from the closing date. The Offering is subject to TSX
Venture Exchange acceptance.
Insiders of the Company will participate in the Offering by subscribing for 15,833,333 Units for
gross proceeds of $3,800,000, constituting a related party transaction pursuant to TSX
Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority
Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company relied on Section 5.5(a)
of MI 61-101 for an exemption from the formal valuation requirement and Section 5.7(1)(a) of
MI 61-101 for an exemption from the minority shareholder approval requirement of MI 61-101,
as the fair market value of the transaction did not exceed 25% of the Company’s market
capitalization.
Drilling Program
The drilling campaign will focus on infill drilling at the western mineralized zones where the
Company plans to commence operations, and prior drilling demonstrated multiple high-grade
ore shoots within larger intervals of high-grade gold mineralization. Expansion drilling is also
planned in the northern mineralized zones where the newly acquired extension may host a
structural continuity of the project’s northwest trending mineralized corridors.
The map below shows the proposed drill holes for the upcoming program:

The 50,000-meter reverse circulation drilling campaign will proceed alongside the proposed
development of an open-pit, heap leach mining operation currently in the permitting phase for
an initial 10-year production at a projected capacity of up to 16,000 tonnes per day.
