San Marco Prioritizes Drill Targets on Chunibas, Raises $717,475 from Warrants
Exercised and Launches New Website
Vancouver, B.C. March 2 nd , 2017: San Marco Resources Inc. (SMN: TSX-V) ("the Compa ny"
or "San Marco") provides an exploration update on t he Chunibas Property located in Sonora
State, Mexico and an update on corporate activities.
Chunibas Property Update
Exploration results from the recently completed pro perty wide soil sampling grid (approximately
1,000 samples) have confirmed the existence of the primary gold target, 600 metres X 800
metres. Historical data has been incorporated with the Company’s recent exploration work,
resulting in field evidence that the north-south trending shear/vein structures coalesce in various
zones along strike. This has reinforced the geologi cal model that wider zones of gold
mineralization, flanking the high-grade shear structures, some of which continue to be mined by
local gambosinos (miners), where grades appear to b e in the 15 g/t gold range, exist. The
Company’s sampling of the one to two metre-wide structures has resulted in grades up to 46 g/t
gold.
Mineralized structures have been identified in the western sector of the property as well,
however, additional exploration is required, since alluvial cover minimizes meaningful surface
exploration beyond the one to two metre wide structures exposed at surface.
Drilling is anticipated to be the next phase of exp loration such that field crews are planning and
spotting drill hole locations. Since the Chunibas P roperty’s primary mineralized area is open in
all directions, drilling is expected to probe deepe r and on-strike mineralized zones not explored
in previous drilling.
All drill permits, surface access agreements and dr ill contract proposals are in place, such that
drilling could commence quickly. Partnership opport unities are being investigated to fund the
drilling, however, the Company is funded to support this program as required.
