TARACHI CHANNEL SAMPLES 6.34 G/T GOLD OVER 62.55 METRES
AT THE LA DURA HISTORIC MINE AREA IN SONORA, MEXICO
Vancouver, British Columbia (August 20, 2020) – Tarachi Gold Corp. (CSE: TRG) (FRA:
4RZ) (“Tarachi” or the “ Company”) is pleased to announce initial high-grade results from
channel sampling at the La Dura historic underground mine on the Jabali concession at the
Tarachi project in the Sierra Madre Gold Belt of Eastern Sonora, Mexico.
Mapping and detailed underground channel sampling at the La Dura area of the southern Jabali
concession has been completed. Initial fire assays returned high -grade results over significant
widths including 6.34 g/t gold over 62.55 metres in La-Dura-01 including a sub-interval of 42.65
g/t gold over 2 metres. The sampling program was intended to test and expand on historic results
as well as outline initial drill targets. A total of 91 rock-saw channel samples were submitted to
BV Laboratory in Hermosillo. Samples were taken at the best available underground exposures
roughly perpendicular to the mapped East-West striking breccia structures.
Previous exploration and drilling on Jabali had been based on a north -south interpretation of the
mineralized structures. While regionally there is a northerly trend, recent detailed mapping by
Tarachi’s geological team has identified a series of steeply dipping east -west striking crackle
breccias which locally control the high-grade gold mineralization.
Tarachi’s President and CEO, Lorne Warner CEO comments “ We are very pleased to announce
this impressive sampling intercept of 62.55m at 6.34 g/t gold. These high -grades over broad
widths demonstrate the immense potential of the Tarachi project. Additionally, th e
reinterpretation of the steeply dipping breccias featured at La Dura creates a significant
opportunity for Tarachi to drill the historic mine area in a brand-new way. With over C$10
million in the bank and these initial high -grade results, I believe the Company is in an excellent
position to deliver value through exploration.”

The Company expects to announce further sampling results in the near term and is preparing to
begin drilling. The Tarachi project is ho st to multiple high -grade gold targets and the Company
will announce details surrounding its drill campaign shortly. An exploration camp has been
erected in the Tarachi area and stringent Covid -19 protocols have been put in place to ensure the
safety of local communities and the team in the field.
Quality assurance/quality control
All channel rock samples were taken underground in the La Dura mine on the Jabali concession
using a Husqvarna K770 14 -inch gas powered disc saw. Two cuts were made about 5cm apa rt
then a continuous channel of rock between the cuts was removed with a hammer and chisel.
Samples varied in length between 0.4m and 1.25m. Sample tags were submitted into each bag
before b eing sealed and stored at the campsite in a secure area and were later transported by
company truck directly to the Company to Bureau Veritas Mineral Laboratories (BVM) in
Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico . At the laboratory the samples were dried, crushed and pulverized
with the pulps being sent airfreight for analysis to BVM in Vancouver, B.C. for 37 -element ICP
analysis after modified aqua regia digestion. Gold assays are done in Hermosillo by 50 -gram fire
assay with an atomic absorption spectroscopy finish.
Samples were checked using a 50-gram fire assay with a gravimetric finish for samples greater
than 10ppm Au and 1Kg metalli c fire assay with duplicate minus fraction analyzed. Both
Hermosillo and Vancouver BVM facilities are ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025 accredited.
Laboratory control samples comprising certified reference samples, duplicates and blank samples
were inserted by the laboratory into the sample stream and analyzed as part of the quality
assurance/quality control protocol.

Project Descriptions
The Project s consist 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 Pro jects are
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 claim covers the La Dura historic
mine and several other small -scale mines. The gold mineraliza tion 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"
mineralized trend which the report suggests has the potential to host another Mulatos size
resource. The Tarachi project is an early stage exploration project and the mineralization hosted
on adjacent and/or nearby properties is not necessarily indicative of mineralization hosted on the
Company’s property.
The Mulat os gold trend 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 gold occurs along late -stage fracture coatings in the
breccias and is locall y associated with barite. P ast 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.
