Vangold continues to focus on advancing its El Pinguico gold and silver project, which is located just seven kilometres south of the city of Guanajuato, Mexico.

The El Pinguico mine

El Pinguico is a high-grade gold and silver deposit that was mined from the early 1880s until 1913. The mining was done exclusively from the El Pinguico and El Carmen veins, which are thought to be splays off the Mother vein, or Veta Madre.

The Veta Madre is associated with a megafault that outcrops for 25 kilometres and is the most important source of precious metal mineralization in the region. The Veta Madre may cross Vangold's property at depth, underneath the high-grade El Pinguico and El Carmen veins, but very limited drilling has been done on the property and no drilling has attempted to encounter the Veta Madre at depth. Historic stockpiles of mineralized material exist on surface and underground at El Pinguico which may potentially provide feed to one of several operational mills in the Guanajuato area.

Hernan Dorado, a director of Vangold and a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has approved the scientific and technical information contained in this news release.
