Message from the Chairman

Dear Valued Shareholder,

On October 16, 2023, Sonoro filed a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) on its flagship Cerro Caliche gold project located in Sonora, Mexico. The report outlines an initial nine-year open pit, heap leach mining operation producing an average 33,000 ounces of gold per annum.

Based on a gold price of USD $1,800 per ounce, the after-tax Net Present Value discounted at 5% (NPV₅) is USD $47.7 million with a 45% after-tax Internal Rate of Return (IRR). A sensitivity analysis with gold at USD $2,000 per ounce estimates an after-tax NPV₅ of USD $77.02 million with a 63% after-tax IRR.

The PEA utilizes the updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) filed in March 2023 and is based on a total of 55,360 meters of drilled data, including 498 drill holes and 17 trenches. Although only 30% of Cerro Caliche’s known mineralized zones have been drilled and assayed to date, Company strategy is to bring Cerro Caliche into early production and fund resource expansion from cashflow.  

Cerro Caliche is currently in the permitting phase to commence mining operations and approval of the required environmental permit (MIA) is expected in due course. As discussed in my previous message of June 20, 2023, an upcoming infill drilling program will proceed alongside mine development, targeting multiple high-grade ore shoots at specific vein zones where prior drilling returned higher-grade gold intercepts within larger intervals of high-grade gold mineralization. Expanding gold mineralization is expected to enhance the overall economics of the project and extend the life of the proposed mine. 

Once in production, the Company will target resource expansion along the property’s northwestern corridors where prior drilling confirmed gold-silver mineralized intervals. A recent surface sampling program included 608 samples with lengths of 1.0 to 2.0 meters with assays of up to 24.8 grams of gold per tonne.

I believe Sonoro Gold is distinctive in the junior gold mining sector and has the essential components to build Sonoro into a successful gold producer. Company management has extensive expertise in developing mineral deposits and since acquiring Cerro Caliche in 2018, we have raised over CAD $20 million to conduct exploration programs, metallurgical testwork and environmental studies.

In addition to the Insiders’ holding 25% of the issued shares, the Company maintains a strong, loyal international shareholder base across Canada, USA, Germany, and Switzerland. Despite challenging markets and third-party delays, we believe Cerro Caliche has exceptional potential and we remain committed to advancing the project to early production to finance ongoing resource expansion and Company growth to minimize shareholder dilution.

Sonoro’s President and CEO, Kenneth MacLeod, is presenting at Red Cloud’s 2023 Fall Mining Showcase on November 8th at 10:00AM (EST) at the Sheraton Centre Hotel in Toronto, ON. We invite our shareholders and all interested parties to join us. Click here for more information.

Kindest Regards,

John M. Darch, Chairman

Sonoro Gold Corp.
