PRESS RELEASE: Third MOU for Financing and Development Executed

VANCOUVER, Canada, June 11, 2020, Sonoro Metals Corp., (TSXV: SMO | OTCQB: SMOFF | FRA: 23SP), (“Sonoro” or the “Company”), provides the following update regarding proposed project debt finance, engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) contracts with China-based EPC companies.

The Company has executed a third Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) for the finance and development of its proposed Cerro Caliche Heap Leach Pilot Operation (“HLPO”). As of February 28, 2020, Sonoro had received two executed MoUs regarding project debt financing and EPC services for its proposed Cerro Caliche HLPO.

“This latest MoU is from one of China’s state champions whose geological team has extensively analyzed all of Sonoro’s data and approved it as a project they would like to proceed with,” said the Company’s representative, Dr. Wei Qian. “It’s a very good endorsement and clear indication that business in China is resuming,” Dr. Qian added.
Sonoro anticipates that it should begin receiving detailed proposals regarding the provision of EPC services together with project finance in the coming weeks, as internal travel restrictions in China continue to be more relaxed.

Sonoro’s executive team and the EPC companies continue to wait for a further easing of current international travel restrictions in order to allow in-person meetings in China and the various EPC companies’ technical teams to fly to the proposed mine site in Sonora State, Mexico. Rescheduling of these meetings is subject to Chinese and Mexican authorities giving the green light for Chinese citizens to begin non-essential travel to Mexico.

Chairman John Darch, Director of Finance Neil Maedel and Sonoro’s representative Dr. Wei Qian had originally planned to visit China last February 2020 to continue discussions regarding detailed agreements as now outlined in the respective MoUs. Despite its reported success in dealing with the virus, China’s health officials remain cautious. In Mexico, most mining operations have resumed as the country’s lockdown of exploration and mining activities was recently lifted, an indication that the area where more than 80% of Mexican mining production occurs has very low levels or no COVID-19 infections within the local population.

“We are very pleased to execute this latest Memorandum of Understanding”, said John Darch, the company’s Chairman. “Like Dr. Qian, I am especially encouraged by the fact that during this challenging time three of the well-established and highly respected Chinese EPC Companies we met in China continue to actively pursue a business relationship with Sonoro.

PRESS RELEASE: Sonoro issues revised Cerro Caliche project development report

VANCOUVER, Canada, May 26, 2020 – Sonoro Metals Corp., (“Sonoro” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SMO) (OTCQB: SMOFF) is pleased to report that it has published a revised version of its Cerro Caliche Project Development Report dated May 22, 2020 (the “Revised Report”). As disclosed in its press release of May 13, 2020, as a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission, the Company withdrew an April 28, 2020 version of this project development report as it contained certain technical disclosures that did not comply with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). The Revised Report, which is not a technical report as defined by NI 43-101 and should not be considered as such, has been updated to address those disclosure issues and is now available on the Cerro Caliche project page of the Company’s website: https://sonorometals.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Cerro-Caliche-Project-Development-Report-2020-21-1.pdf

Based on the methodologies and modelling set out in the Revised Report, the Company believes that the 50,000 meters of drilling planned for 2020 and 2021 will enable the Company to not only outline additional gold and silver mineralization where zones of mineralization are currently open in one or more directions, but also to evaluate 16 surface defined gold mineralized zones that have not previously been drill tested. Drilling will include both infilling the zones that were previously drilled as well as a large number of holes to test undrilled portions of the various mineralized trends along strike and at depth.

The proposed drilling program has been designed to test the exploration target of between 75,000,000 to 100,000,000 tonnes with grades potentially between 0.3 g/t to 0.5 g/t AuEq. The potential tonnages and grades set forth in the analysis of geological potential are conceptual in nature, as there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

Good exploration potential exists in what has been interpreted to be the boiling zone, or favorable zone, which was better defined in the Revised Report. Analysis of higher grade chip samples taken by the Company over an area of 4 kms by 3 kms were restricted to elevations between 1,100 masl to almost 1,700 masl; most of these samples ranged from 4 g/t to 25 g/t gold with a high of 95 g/t (NI 43-101 Report on the Cerro Caliche Gold Project, July 26, 2019). This data will assist in planning holes to target high grade intercepts in areas where previously tested trends are open at depth or along strike. Additionally, there is exploration potential for additional gold and silver targets on the property that have been discovered by prospecting, mapping and rock chip sampling and have yet to be drill-tested.

The Company has also updated its corporate presentation available on the “Investors” page of its website.

All scientific and technical information contained in the Revised Report, the corporate presentation, and this press release has been reviewed and approved by Stephen Kenwood, P.Geo., a Director of Sonoro Metals Corp., who is a “qualified person” as defined in NI 43-101.
