KAL MINERALS INC.
(KAL-CSE)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 27, 2020
KAL ENTERS INTO AN AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE 100% OF THE
TARACHI PROJECT IN SONORA, MEXICO
Vancouver, British Columbia (March 27, 2020) – Kal Minerals Corp. (CSE: KAL) (“Kal” or the
“Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement whereby the Company
has the right to acquire a 100% interest in the group of mining concessions known as the Tarachi project
(“Tarachi”, or “the Project”) located in the Sierra Madre Gold Belt of Eastern Sonora, Mexico.
Project Highlights
• Historic drilling has encountered very high grades of gold including:
o 34.5 g/t Au over 5 metres
o 24.3 g/t Au over 3 metres
o 110 g/t Au over 1.32 metres
• Tarachi lies in an established gold producing region, bordering Alamos’ Mulatos mine and Agnico
Eagle’s La India mine
• Strategically located land package in the prolific Sierra Madre Gold Belt which has produced over
80Moz of gold and 4.5 Billion ounces of silver
“I am very excited to announce the acquisition of the Tarachi project. This is a transformative acquisition
and the Project has significant potential to deliver a large precious metals resource for shareholders. The
high grades of gold we see at the Project, coupled with the proximity to infrastructure from two producing
mines in the immediate area, provide a clear pathway to exploration success for Kal. We expect to begin
exploration very soon.” stated CEO Leighton Bocking
Project Description
The Project consists of the San Javier, Pretoria, Chivitas, Jabali, Juliana, Texana and Tarachi concessions
for at total of 2,560 hectares in the prolific Mulatos gold belt. The Project is approximately 220 km by air
east of the City of Hermosillo, and 300 km south of the border between the United States of America and
Mexico. The Jabali concessions include a past producing gold mine, consisting of 70 hectares only 6 km
west from the "Mulatos" gold-and silver -producing heap -leach mine operated by Alamos Gold Inc.
(“Alamos”).
The Jabali claim covers the La Dura historic mine and several other small-scale mines. The gold
mineralization and geology at Jabali is believed to be similar in character to the gold mineralization at the
Mulatos mine. Alamos Gold Inc., in a 2003 annual report identifies the Jabali project as being part of the
"Los Bajios" mineraliz ed trend which the report suggests has the potential to host another Mulatos size
resource.

The Mulatos gold belt is part of the Sierra Madre gold and silver belt that also hosts the operating Mulatos
gold mine immediately southeast of the La India property and the Pinos Altos mine and the Creston Mascota
deposit 70 kilometres to the southeast.
Mineralization occurs within silicified rhyodacite and is associated with vuggy silica alteration, and breccia
with iron oxide (hematite and specularite). Native go ld occurs along late -stage fracture coatings in the
breccias and is locally associated with barite. Past exploration has returned values from trace to 30g/t Au
in grab samples. Native gold has also been identified in outcrop on the southern extension of the La Dura
mine trend.
Deal Terms
The Company has the right and option to acquire from Minerales de Tarachi de R.L. de C.V. an
undivided 100% right, title and interest in and to the Project by making cash payments of an
aggregate of $5,000,000 to the Optionor, to be paid as follows:
• $25,000 on the effective date of the option agreement (the “Effective Date”)
• 75,000 due 5 days after the closing of the Company’s next financing
• $100,000 in cash on or before the first anniversary of the Effective Date
• $100,000 in cash on or before the second anniversary of the Effective Date
• $100,000 in cash on or before the third anniversary of the Effective Date
• $4,600,000 in cash on or before the fourth anniversary of the Effective Date
In order to exercise the option, the Company must also issue a total of 5,000,000 Shares as follows:
• 1,250,000 Shares on the Effective Date;
• 1,250,000 Shares on or before the first anniversary of the Effective Date
• 1,250,000 Shares on or before the second anniversary of the Effective Date
• 1,250,000 Shares on or before the third anniversary of the Effective Date
Next Steps
The Company will begin an initial work program to identify immediate drill targets with the goal of
delineating a NI-43 101 compliant resource in the future. The Company’s geological crew will be visiting
the Project as soon as possible to prepare a technical report including work recommendations.
Finders Fee
In conjunction with the transaction, the Company will pay a finder’s fee of 5% to Rioro Mining Corp.
