Tesoro raises $5.4 million to fund continued exploration and
development of El Zorro
Tesoro Gold Ltd (Tesoro or the Company) (ASX:TSO, OTCQB:TSORF ) is pleased to announce it has
received firm commitments for a Placement to raise approximately $5.4 million (before costs). The
Placement was supported by domestic and institutional investors.
The issue price under the Placement represents a 7.7% discount to the last closing price and a 19.4%
discount to the 15 trading day volume weighted average price (VWAP) for shares in the Company
up to and including Wednesday, 8 June 2022.
The funds raised from the Placement will be applied towards continued exploration and expansion
of gold resources and development of the El Zorro Gold Project (El Zorro) in Chile, general working
capital and repayment of an unsecured director’s loan (A$200,000 plus 8% lenders fee).
Tesoro Managing Director Zeff Reeves commented:
“The strong demand for the placement and the quality of the institutions which have subscribed
reflects the exploration success achieved by the Company at El Zorro and the outlook for further
growth.
The recently updated Mineral Resource Estimate of 1.1 million ounces of gold (see ASX
announcement 23 May 2022) demonstrates the high quality of the Ternera Gold Deposit and this
raising will support the continued growth of the resource base at Ternera as well as test some of the
exciting targets being delineated at El Zorro.”

Tesoro Gold Ltd 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.
