Tesoro Gold Limited (Tesoro or the Company) (ASX:TSO, OTCQB:TSORF) is pleased to announce
assay results from two holes from the current drilling program at the El Zorro Gold Project (El Zorro),
Chile.
Holes ZDDH0297 and ZDDH0298 have returned exceptionally long mineralised intervals from within
the Ternera Gold Deposit (Ternera)at El Zorro. Both holes were drilled to test and confirm the down
plunge continuity of gold mineralisation within the main intrusive body, hosting gold mineralisation
at Ternera. They have also provided sufficient drill coverage to potentially increase the resource
classification within the existing Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE), as announced on 23 May 2022,
and extend mineralised zones. Significant intercepts are presented in Table 1.

Tesoro Managing Director, Zeff Reeves commented:
“This is a phenomenal result demonstrating the consistency of gold mineralisation within the host El
Zorro Tonalite intrusions. Hole ZDDH0297 shows multiple high-grade zones within the broader
intercept, potentially increasing gold grade throughout the deposit. This phase of drilling at Ternera
is focussed on improving the classification and expanding the existing 1.1 Moz Resource. We
believe Ternera will continue to grow with additional drilling with the Deposit remaining open in all
directions.”

Drilling Discussion
The current Ternera MRE stands at 1.1Moz (503koz indicated) of gold (Tables 2 and 3). Drilling at
Ternera is targeting an improvement of resource classification, particularly the distribution of
Indicated classification in the upper parts of the deposit, as well as testing and extending the down
plunge high grade zones within the Deposit.
Holes ZDDH0297 and ZDDH0298 have been drilled at an optimal orientation to meet these criteria,
by efficiently reducing drill spacing between existing drill holes and confirming geological continuity
of mineralisation.
Both holes intercepted significant high-grade gold zones which have the potential to improve the
gold grade within areas of the MRE (Figure 1). It should be noted that both holes were subject to
significant hole deviations; deviating to the west and lifting with depth. These deviations resulted in
portions of the holes, particularly hole ZDDH0298, moving into the less mineralised footwall (to the
west) of the targeted EZT intrusion. Scope remains for improved results with more accurate drilling.
Drilling is also targeting expansion of the Ternera Deposit to the north and south with several holes
planned to target areas of open mineralisation.

Next Steps
Drilling continues at Ternera with 7 holes for 3,275m having been completed. Assays remain
outstanding for 5 holes which will be announced in due course. It is envisaged that a number of
the holes completed have the potential to improve the distribution of the MRE Indicated Resource
classification and as results are received this will be assessed.
Access is currently being established at the Kitsune and Calderillas district targets with initial drill
programs due to commence within the next three weeks.

About Tesoro Gold
Tesoro Gold Limited was established with a strategy of acquiring, exploring, and
developing mining projects in the Coastal Cordillera region of Chile. The Coastal
Cordillera region is host to multiple world class copper and gold mines, has well
established infrastructure, service providers and an experienced mining workforce.
Large areas of the Coastal Cordillera remain unexplored due to the unconsolidated
nature of mining concession ownership, but Tesoro, via its in-country network and
experience has been able secure rights to a district scale gold project in-line with the
Company’s strategy. Tesoro’s 95% owned Chilean subsidiary owns 85% of the El Zorro
Gold Project.

magnetite or hematite
• Mineralisation occurs as sheeted vein deposits or stockwork
assemblages and often combine gold with variably elevated
Bi, W, As, Mo, Te, and/or Sb but low concentrations of base
metals as seen in the initial four holes by Tesoro at El Zorro

• If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drillhole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.
The mineralisation forms sub-vertical sheeted veins and
individual veins and may form plunging zones within the
mineralised structures. Drilling by Tesoro has been undertaken
to test these orientations.
• If it is not known and only the downhole
lengths are reported, there should be a clear
statement to this effect (e.g. ‘downhole
length, true width not known’).
Exploration results are reported as downhole widths as the true
width is not known with any certainty.
Diagrams
• Appropriate maps and sections (with scales)
and tabulations of intercepts should be
included for any significant discovery being
reported These should include, but not be
limited to a plan view of drillhole collar
locations and appropriate sectional views.
Relevant maps and diagrams are included in the body of the
report.
Balanced
reporting
• Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be practiced to
avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.
All assay results from drilling are reported. Reporting of visible
gold occurrences in drill core is by visual inspection only and
final gold content is not known until assay results have been
received.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
• Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including (but
not limited to): geological observations;
geophysical survey results; geochemical
survey results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test
results; bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock characteristics;
potential deleterious or contaminating
substances.
All material exploration data is reported in the body of the report.
Further work
• The nature and scale of planned further work
(e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth
extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).
Further work will be focused on drill testing the Ternera
mineralisation and additional prospects as defined in the work
program. Core will be used for metallurgical testwork and
resource modelling is planned.
• Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of
possible extensions, including the main
geological interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.
Diagrams have been included in the body of this report.
