Vancouver, British Columbia, November 1, 2022 - Xali Gold Corp. (TSXV:XGC ) ("Xali Gold”
or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has increased its ownership in the SDA Plant in
Western Mexico to 50% by issuing shares to Magellan Acquisition Corp. (“Magellan”). In

Sun River Gold (“SRG”) for the El Oro Tailings Project in Mexico.
San Dieguito de Arriba (“SDA”) Plant
Xali Gold has increased its interest in the SDA plant from 30% to 50% by issuing 4,125,758 shares
at a price of $0.066 to Magellan. The Company has received interest from third parties desiring to
enter into joint ventures in Xali Gold’s Western Mexico assets, the SDA plant and near -surface
high grade mineralization near the plant.
Two local Mexican mining groups are offering to provide both investment and expertise to get the
SDA Plant’s operating permits updated and the plant fully operational as well as to develop and
explore nearby mining properties. Terms under discussion include t he provision of capital and
expertise for the operation of the plant and the provision of high-grade mineralization, while Xali
Gold would provide expertise to explore for additional gold and silver resources and/or standalone
mineral discoveries. The agreements under discussion are to include profit sharing.
El Oro Tailings Project
SRG has started making advance NPI payments of US$15,000 per month to Xali Gold as part of
the second extension agreement on the El Oro Tailings Project, in El Oro Mexico.

first concentrate is produced or dore gold is poured) . The Company has received such payments
for September and October such that a total of US$30,000 in has been received as advance NPI
payments. An additional US$ 13,400 was paid during July and August 2022 against shared
expenses. The payments due from May 1 st through August, 2022 are still outstanding and the

About Xali Gold
Xali Gold has a growth strategy to acquire gold and silver projects with near surface exploration
potential, near-term production potential and previous mining histories in Mexico. Xali Gold plans
to advance our growing bank of gold and silver assets internally and/or with industry partners.
El Oro is a district scale gold project encompassing a well -known prolific high -grade gold
dominant gold-silver epithermal vein sy stem 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 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, particularl y below and adjacent to the historic workings
of the San Rafael Vein, which was mined to an average depth of only 200 metres.
Xali Gold is dedicated to being a responsible Community partner.
