Wide interval of visible gold in step out drilling at El Zorro
Ternera mineralised footprint extended by 300m
▪
Southern step out drilling encounters wide zone of sporadic visible gold in hole ZDDH00051
(assays pending).
▪
Visible gold observed over 61m of drill core within a wider zone of 117m of strong sheeted
veining and sulphide mineralisation, typical of the gold bearing zone at Ternera.
▪
Northern step out hole ZDDH00042 returns positive drill intercept within the target El Zorro
Tonalite:
•
15.00m @ 0.68 g/t Au from 115.00m including;
•
1.00m @ 5.64 g/t Au from 126.00m.
▪
Step out holes validate exploration model with gold mineralisation correlating well to IP
geophysical anomaly and remains open both to the north and south.
▪
▪
Drilling doubles size of the drilled mineralised footprint at El Zorro.
▪
▪
26 holes completed for 6,910m, assays remain outstanding for 17 holes.
Additional holes planned to further test the northern and southern extents of Ternera as well
as complete infill drilling for resource definition.
The Company continues to drill at Ternera with two diamond drill rigs operating 24 hours per
day.
Tesoro Resources Limited (Tesoro or the Company) (ASX: TSO) is pleased to announce that step out
drilling targeting the geophysical IP anomaly to the north and south of the Ternera mineralised zone
at the Company’s El Zorro Gold project in Chile has successfully intersected significant gold
mineralisation. These intercepts further expand the mineralised footprint at Ternera and remain open
in all directions.
Hole ZDDH00051 has intercepted a zone of 117m downhole width of strongly altered El Zorro Tonalite
(EZT) with prolific sheeted veins containing pyrite, arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite and visible gold. This hole
extends the high-grade gold zone approximately 120m to the south. Visible gold has been observed
sporadically over an interval of 61m from 256.00m to 317.00m down hole.
Hole ZDDH00042 samples were fast tracked through the laboratory to allow planning of additional
drilling if positive results were returned. The hole has returned a positive mineralised intercept of
15.00m @ 0.68g/t Au from 115.00m including 1.00m @ 5.64g/t Au from 126.00m. A full table of
significant intercepts is presented in Appendix 1.

ASX Announcement 17 September 2020
Tesoro Managing Director Zeff Reeves commented:
“These two holes are game changing for Ternera and the overall El Zorro Gold project, particularly
hole ZDDH00051. It’s always encouraging to see visible gold in drill core and to have it observed
over a 61m interval is particularly exciting. Together these holes more than double the existing drilled
gold footprint of Ternera and further demonstrate the potential for Ternera to become a significant
gold deposit.”
COMMENTARY
ZDDH00051 was designed to test the southern extensions of the main high-grade zone at Ternera
(Figure 2) that has been identified from Tesoro’s previous drilling and the recent geophysical IP
survey (ASX Announcement 10 August 2020). The hole extends the high grade zone approximately
175m south of drilled mineralisation previously reported for hole ZDDH00024 (Figure 2 and ASX
announcement 27 May 2020).
The hole was drilled to a total depth of 364.40m, full drill details presented in Table 1.
The hole has intersected a wide zone of visually mineralised EZT from 233.00m to 350.00m
downhole. The mineralisation is characterised by strong zones of veining with veins containing
pyrite, arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite, quartz and gold.
In the interval from 256.00m to 317.45m, multiple occurrences of fine visible gold were observed
throughout the interval, associated with sulphide bearing veins and veinlets (Figure 1).
ZDDH00042 was designed to test the northern extension of the Ternera gold system identified from
the recently completed IP survey (Figure 2). The hole was collared approximately 125m north of
previously reported ZDDH00023 (ASX announcement 27 May 2020). The hole returned positive gold
results of 15.00m @ 0.68g/t Au from 115.00m including 1.00m @ 5.64g/t Au from 126.00m from within
altered EZT containing sheeted veins and sulphides. This hole has successfully extended the Ternera
gold footprint to the north and mineralisation remains open.

APPENDIX 2 – JORC TABLES
JORC Table 1
Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data
Criteria
JORC Code explanation
Commentary
Sampling
techniques
• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels, random chips, or specific specialised
industry standard measurement tools
appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as downhole gamma
sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.).
These examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
Tesoro has completed 53 diamond drill holes for 12,875.10m
in 2017, 2018 and 2020 (ZDDH0001 to ZDDH0053).
Diamond drill holes were drilled with HQ. Sampling was half
core at geologically defined and significant mineralisation
boundaries.
Tesoro considers the sampling methodologies to be
appropriate for this style of mineralisation.
• Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or
systems used.
Tesoro Diamond drill holes were drilled with HQ. Sampling was
half core at geological and significant mineralisation
boundaries. Tesoro consider this appropriate for the style of
mineralisation.
• Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report. In cases
where ‘industry standard’ work has been done,
this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases, more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
Diamond drilling was used to obtain ½ core samples of various
lengths (minimum 0.25m), from which 1kg of material was
pulverised passing 200 mesh to produce a 50g charge for fire
assay fusion with a gravimetric finish. Multielement assays
were completed by 4-acid digest with a 2.5g charge. Tesoro
consider these appropriate assay techniques.
Drilling techniques • Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, openhole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter,
triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails,
face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc.).
Tesoro has completed 53 diamond drill holes for 12,875.10m.
Diamond drill holes were drilled with HQ. Sampling was half
core at geological and significant mineralisation boundaries.
Standard tube was used.
Drill sample
recovery
• Method of recording and assessing core and
chip sample recoveries and results assessed.
Core recovery was estimated using the drillers recorded depth
marks against the length of the core recovered. Reviewing the
core photos, there are occasional shears/faults where core is
broken. There is however no significant core loss.
• Measures taken to maximise sample recovery
and ensure representative nature of the
samples.
A single tube system was employed and in general core
recovery good.
• Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias
may have occurred due to preferential
loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
There appears to be no potential sample bias as there was no
regular loss of core.
• Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a
level of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.
Geological core logging to a resolution of 25 cm was
undertaken with a record kept of, inter alia, colour, lithology,
weathering, grain size, mineralisation, alteration, geotechnical
characteristics etc. Diamond core is stored at the Company’s
warehouse.
Tesoro consider the data to be of an appropriate level of detail
to support a future resource estimation.

Commentary
The sample preparation of crushing half core at the lab to mm

or riffle) for pulverisation provides an appropriate and
representative sample for analysis.
Half core was collected for the entirety of the Tesoro drilling, as

laboratory tests
• Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in-situ material collected,
including for instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
Sampling of half core is representative of the in-situ material.
There are field duplicate samples collected from the diamond
core with irregular results. Field drill core duplicates are
irregular by nature and it has been recommended by Tesoro’s
consultants to use coarse reject material to monitor the
sample preparation.
• Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the
grain size of the material being sampled.
sample sizes collected were considered appropriate to
reasonably represent the material being tested.
• The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered partial or
total.
Assays were undertaken at the accredited laboratories at
Bureau Veritas, Santiago and ALS Santiago, both of which are
fully certified. Core samples of various lengths were assayed
(minimum 0.25m) from which 1kg of material was pulverized
passing 200 mesh to produce a 50 g charge for fire assay
fusion with gravimetric finish. Multielement assays were
completed by 4-acid digest with a 2.5 g charge.
All techniques are appropriate for the element being
determined.

• The verification of significant intersections by
either independent or alternative company
personnel.
A number of independent consulting geoscientists (Cube
Consulting, Oliver, and Cooley) external to Tesoro have verified
the intersections for holes ZDDH0001 to ZDDH0016. Holes
ZDDH0017 onwards have been verified by multiple
appropriately qualified Company personnel.
• The use of twinned holes.
no twinned holes have been completed
Tesoro drilling is digitally entered and stored following
documented core handling protocols.
The protocols are considered adequate.
