First Mexican Acquires 100% Interest in the Guadalupe Property in Sonora, Mexico
(firmenpresse) - VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/24/12 -- First Mexican Gold Corp. (the 'Company' or 'FMG') (TSX VENTURE: FMG)(FRANKFURT: 21M) is pleased to announce that it has completed its 80% option earn-in on the Guadalupe property in Sonora State, Mexico, from Minera Internacional Milenio S.A. de C.V., (MIMSA), a wholly owned subsidiary of International Millennium Mining Corp (TSX VENTURE: IMI). The option agreement was subject to First Mexican Gold having to spend a total of US$4 million dollars on the project.
Immediately subsequent to the completion of the "Option Agreement" both companies have agreed, subject to TSX Venture Exchange acceptance, to enter into a sale of the final 20% interest in the Guadalupe property held by MIMSA. The conditions of sale are the issuance of 4 million shares and a 2% NSR to International Millennium Mining Corp with 1% purchasable for US$1 million dollars. The 4 million shares will have a 9 month hold period and be subject to reasonable future trade restrictions as outlined in the agreement to purchase.
The Guadalupe property package has been the focus of much of the exploration to date that the company has conducted in this area and comprises approximately 11,506 hectares. To date the company has identified the Karen zone as hosting a high grade target starting at surface and the Diana zone which hosts a lower grade high tonnage target. See some highlights of drilling results below that have already been disclosed in previous news releases. Both these zones will continue to be a key focus for 2012 in addition to exploration of new zones of high potential including the optioned land package from Kootenay Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE: KTN).
"We are pleased to have acquired a 100% property interest for our shareholders and confirmed the high grade potential of the Karen zone and lower grade/higher tonnage potential of the Diana zone in 2011 in what is fast becoming a regional exploration success with numerous area exploration camps now existing and doing work," said Jim Voisin, President and Chief Executive Officer of First Mexican. Mr. Voisin adds: "Although to date the company has defined zones with potential to build a significant resource, most of the property area remains open to future exploration work. The company plans numerous sampling, drilling and IP survey data work programs for 2012 and is very pleased with these discovered zones so early in our exploration program."
Karen zone drill highlights to date: all near surface intercepts, see news release April 28, 2011.
Diana zone drill highlights to date: all near surface intercepts, see news release March 10, 2011.
Management is of the opinion that the initial results it has provided demonstrate that the area has excellent exploration potential. Coupled with the neighbour's results, Corex Gold, a strong regional play is starting to develop in an already prolific gold and silver mining region that boasts successful projects such as Gammon Gold's Ocampo, Minefinder's Dolores and Alamos Mulatos projects.

Samples were prepared and assayed by an accredited lab, ALS Chemex, Vancouver, BC.
