histories. Xali Gold plans to advance our growing bank of gold and silver assets internally and/or
with industry partners.
El Oro, remains as our flagship asset , as it is a district scale gold project encompassing a well-
known prolific high-grade gold-silver epithermal vein system in Mexico. The project covers 20
veins with past production and more than 57 veins in total, from which approximately 6.4 million
ounces of gold and 74 million ounces of silver were reported to have been produced from just two
of these veins (Ref. Mexico Geological Service Bulletin No. 37, Mining of the El Oro and
Tlapujahua Districts. 1920, T. Flores*) . Modern understanding of such systems indicates that
several of the El Oro district’s veins hold excellent discovery potential .
Xali Gold is dedicated to being a responsible Community partner.
