"We are using a geoscientific exploration approach that is continually working on the property. We have identified a number of very large geophysical anomalies (Figure 1) that tie in with large silica alternations (Figure 5) that our initial drilling and geochemical sampling work show are coinciding with high-grade gold, silver and copper mineralization. These anomalies are mainly covered and as a consequence have never been explored, presenting us with very large unexplored targets that we know are hosting mineralization from multiple orogenic and intrusive related events across an 8,000 hectares (80 sq km) area. It is very exciting to see our exploration approach continuing to uncover more and more mineralization on the property," said Michael Wood CEO of Reyna Gold.

La Republicana Target
At the La Republicana target, where drill hole LG-22-030 produced 59 m of 1.45 g/t gold (see Press Release 7th September 2022), 414 rock samples have now been taken with an average grade of 1.3 g/t gold.
A main target system at La Republicana has been explored, covering 270 hectares (outlined in Figure 2) in meta-rhyolite and meta-andesite host rocks which the technical team is finding heavily fractured and foliated, making them a favorable host rock for mineralization. Higher-grade gold samples, including 103.50 g/t and 56.90 g/t gold, have been obtained northwest from the initial drilling, and copper has been identified in numerous parts of the target with grades up to 2.41% copper. A secondary target system is also developing in the western part of La Republicana. This western system has a different mineralogical assemblage to the main area, which indicates temperatures and depths of formation greater than those observed in the main area of La Republicana.
Figure 2. La Republicana Target
"We have evidence of multiple mineral systems of both orogenic and intrusive-related mineralization at La Gloria. The latter being evidenced by the presence of minerals produced from intrusive related events, such as magnetite, bornite, tourmaline, biotite, and potassic-feldspar. In addition, we are finding grades of copper and silver that are higher than those typical of orogenic mineralization. This is a great sign as the major deposits on the Mojave-Sonora Megashear have multiple mineral systems combining both orogenic and intrusive-related mineralization," said Ariel Navarro, VP Exploration of Reyna Gold.
Western Target
We have received the first samples from the Western target zone where at least one vein system is developing in a northeast-southwest direction, with a length so far of 933 m long and up to 300 m wide. We have received back 308 rock samples with grades up to 16.60 g/t gold and an average gold grade of 0.32 g/t gold, with 22 samples above 1 g/t gold. There are also samples with good grades of up to 1.15% copper, 249.00 g/t silver, 3.38% zinc and 1.29% lead.
Figure 3. Western Target
Las Carmelitas Target
We have received the initial sample results from Las Carmelitas with a number of samples containing high-grade mineralization with copper grades up to 2.25%, gold grades up to 10.85 g/t and silver grades up to 116.00 g/t.
The technical team is very excited about the unique high-grade geochemical assemblage of Antimony (Sb) - Mercury (Hg) - Barium (Ba) - Strontium (Sr) that is present at Las Carmelitas. The high grade of these minerals along with a large silica alteration identified at Las Carmelitas from the satellite imaging (Figure 5), which has been confirmed by the presence of heavily silicified rocks in the field and the presence of known silicified breccias identified by drilling close-by in Main Zone, is indicating that we are in the upper part of the orogenic gold system and presents the opportunity we could be looking at a hot spring style deposit.
Las Carmelitas also has the presence of chalcocite, which is a high-grade copper mineral. Chalcocite has been identified in veins and disseminated in the host rocks at Las Carmelitas.
Figure 4. Las Carmelitas Target
Next Steps
A comprehensive structural survey has been concluded, interpretation and modeling of the data are currently underway. Induced Polarization (IP) geophysics is now being conducted and will be completed at four target zones La Republicana, Western, Las Carmelitas and Main Zone.
With the break in drilling while the structural study and IP surveys are completed, it has freed up the entire geological team for field work and they are uncovering a number of new targets, showing the extent of mineralization on the property. We are now focusing on an area of around 8,000 hectares (80 sq km), as outlined in Figures 1 and 5, where we know we have multiple mineral systems of both orogenic and intrusive-related mineralization. After completion of the IP geophysical survey, drilling will recommence in this area focused on La Republicana, Western, Las Carmelitas and Main Zone targets.

Qualified Person
Steve Robertson has acted as the Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101 for this disclosure and supervised the preparation of the technical information in this release. Mr. Robertson has a B.Sc. in Geology and more than 30 years of relevant experience exploring in the North American Cordillera. He is a Registered Professional Geoscientist (Reg. 21201) with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia. Mr. Robertson is not independent as he is on the board of directors of Reyna Gold Corp. Mr. Robertson is satisfied that the results are verified based on a review of the field program details, imagery data, a review of the sampling procedures, sample results, the credentials of the professionals completing the work and the nature of the gold mineralization in a well-known district for the style of mineralization.
QA/QC Statement
The surface samples are delivered to the internationally certified ALS Minerals laboratory facilities in Hermosillo City where the samples are prepared and shipped to Vancouver, Canada for analysis. Assaying is done by ALS in Canada under an ISO 1702 Quality management system. Samples are fire assayed for Au (Au-AA24) and analyzed for multi-elements using method code ME-ICP41+ ME-MS42 (only to analyze tellurium), following an aqua regia digestion. Over limits are analyzed using the most appropriate method. Multi-element geochemical standards, blanks, and duplicates are inserted systematically into the rock sampling series to monitor lab performance. The control samples are inserted into each 20 samples in the case of standards, blanks, and duplicates, and for rejects and pulps duplicates each 30 samples intercalated. Referent to the chain of custody the samples are transported from the La Gloria project to the camp in Caborca City and then to ALS Chemex in Hermosillo City, by Reyna Gold personnel
