Majo Project Update
As per Xali Gold’s News Release from September 5, 2024, it has resumed exploration activities in
Peru by optioning the Majo Project, located in a prolific high sulphidation belt in South-Central
Peru, from Alpha Mining S.A.C. (“Alpha”) . Xali Gold continues to review all previous work on the
Majo Project in preparation for a field program expected to include tr enching and pitting which
was a fundamental part of the discovery of Pierina by Arequipa Resources in 1995 for which Ms.
Freeze was the Qualified Person.
Rock chip sampling by previous explorers has identified anomalous levels of gold (0.1 to 7.7 grams
per tonne (“gpt”)) and silver (1.0 to 44.8 gpt) across an area extending over 1.0 km in length and 0.5
km in width, associated with Miocene -Pliocene felsic magmatic activity and NW -SE structural
controls. Of the 583 rock chip samples collected to date: 132 samples contain anomalous levels
of gold ranging from 0.1 gpt to 7.7 gpt; 64 samples are above 0.3 gpt; 58 above 0.4 gpt; 46 above 0.5
gpt and 25 samples range from 1.0 gpt to 7.7 gpt . S ilver reaches as high as 44.8 gpt in the same

About Xali Gold
Xali Gold has gold and silver projects in Peru and Mexico. The Company has recently entered into
two agreements which could each bring cash flow in the near future by paying NSR ’s on: 1. A
Reprocessing Operation of Tailings which hold 120,000 ounces (“oz”) gold and 3,000,000 oz silver
and 2. Re-mining Historic Underground Workings with mineralization left behind; please see News
Releases https://xaligold.com/site/assets/files/6348/xgc_nr_137_mexico_update_final.pdf; https:

The Company’s flagship project El Oro is a district scale gold project encompassing a well-known
prolific high-grade gold dominant 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 6.4M ozs
of gold and 74 M ozs of silver were reported to have been produced from just two of these veins
(Ref. Mexico Geological Service Bulletin Nr. 37, Mining of the El Oro and Tlapujahua Districts.
1920, T. Flores).
Modern understanding of epithermal vein systems indicates that several of the El Oro district’s
veins hold excellent discovery potential, particularly below and adjacent to the historic workings
of the San Rafael Vein, which was mined to an average depth of only 200m.
Xali Gold recently resumed exploration in Peru by optioning the Majo Project, located within a
proven high sulphidation epithermal belt. The Company still maintains other properties in Peru
including the Tres Marias Property, which is under option to Barrick Gold.
Xali Gold is dedicated to being a responsible Community partner.
