New Target Confirmation & Exploration Update for Shareholders
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
TSX-V Trading Symbol: FMG
Vancouver, British Columbia, First Mexican Gold Corp. (the `Company` or `FMG`)
(TSX-V: FMG, Frankfurt: 21M) is pleased to provide its shareholders the
following exploration update:
On June 2, at SJ Geophysics offices in Delta, BC, as part of finalizing and
executing their agreed scope of supply, senior staff of SJ Geophysics met with
FMG senior management and technical staff to present and discuss their findings
and interpretations of the extensive 3D IP (Induced Polarization) geophysical
survey carried out on the Company's Guadalupe Gold & Silver Project in SE
Sonora, Mexico.
SJ Geophysics' scope of work involved acquisition and interpretation of 42 line
kilometers of 3D IP (Induced Polarization) geophysical survey for chargeability
and resistivity responses over two specific targeted zones: 1. The Diana
zone, in order to compliment positive results from 3 earlier diamond drill holes
HDH 11-9 thru HDH 11-11drilled over a 400 metre spacing on the eastern flank of
a significant ridge in January & February 2011 and an earlier (2010) grid and
trenched surface sampling campaign, and; 2. The North to South geographic
corridor from the earlier discovered Karen zone (North) down to the Bailey zone
(acquired thru acquisition in Q1-11) in the South, where a comprehensive and
successful grid surface sampling program was carried out during the 2010
exploration campaign.
The acquisition survey program on both targets was configured on 100 meter
spaced lines and dipole lengths for an optimized interpretation of expected near
surface targets. The highlights of this survey and interpretations can be
summarized as follows:
1. Diana Zone (11.3 line kilometers):
Strong (primary) chargeability in the range of 15 to 20ms (milliseconds)
confirms a target that strongly correlates over the 400 meter spacing of holes
HDH 11-9 thru 11 in the eastern flank, while also extending west an additional
+600 metres at widths from 80 to 150 meters and reaching depths up to 175 metres
below surface. Background values are at below 10 milliseconds.
Additionally, a secondary but almost equal in size chargeability target was
discovered offset 90 degrees and only a couple of hundred meters north northwest
from the western extent of the above (primary) Diana zone where no earlier
prospecting, mapping, drilling or sampling by the Company has been carried out.

2. Corridor (North to South) from Karen to Bailey zones (30.5 line
kilometers):
Discovery of a significant chargeability target now being referred to as the
Erica zone lying near surface in the ridge adjacent (Southeast) of the known
high grade Karen zone, trending south towards the known mineralized Bailey zone,
with interpreted response at +12 to 14ms, indicates the presence of a near
surface target measuring 1.1 kilometers in length, from 150 to 350 metres in
width and an interpreted minimum (bottom) depth of at least 350 to 400 meters.
A more defined target at a response of +18ms within this same area has a length
of approximately 600 metres and widths from 75 to 250 metres. Background values
are below 10 milliseconds.
Based on the survey's configuration, known regional characteristics of
structures and geology, as well as known results from other surveys carried out
in the area, SJ Geophysics concludes with confidence the likelihood or
expectation of the structure responsible for this chargeability to be open at
depth until further tested by either drilling or a 'depth' configured 3D-IP data
acquisition survey. To view a snapshot of this 3D modeling and correlating
surface sampling data select the following link:

3. Karen zone:
9 x 800 metre North to South survey lines on 100 meter spacing over the entire
Karen zone area strongly confirm a secondary area of intruded chargeability
under the known hematite cap lying at the top of the ridge from the Karen zone
and on trend along a known andesite contact. This area is approximately 300m
East NE of the strongly mineralized discovery hole HDH 09-03 in 2009 (eg: from
surface to 37.8m averaging 6.5 gpt Au and 678 gpt Ag; also w/ a 16.9m intercept
averaging 10.6 gpt Au and 1,400 gpt Ag beginning at 12.2m depth). Here the
Company interprets a sulphide oxide transition zone similar, and associated, to
what is encountered at the Karen zone. To view 4 Cross Sections covering this
new area of interest (Karen East) please click on the following link:

This area trending NW to SE along a known andesite contact for over 800 metres
is proving to be comprised of moderately complicated geology hosting strongly
mineralized oxides and sulphides with very significant Gold & Silver values.
After reviewing and evaluating the above results the Company's technical staff
have designed and planned a next phase of drilling at the Diana zone that
contemplates up to 15 strategically sequenced 100 metre spaced diamond drill
holes to depths up to 200 metres in order to further delineate and define the
extents of this target in a manner where positive results can support developing
an inferred resource estimate compliant with NI 43-101.
Secondly, the Company now contemplates a first phase of drilling at the Erica
zone that requires at least 10 holes (with depths up to 450 meters) to fully
investigate the physical characteristics and extents of the interpreted
structure. At present only 3 holes have been drilled so far (HDH 11-12 through
HDH 11-14).
Lastly while drilling hole HDH 11-15 at the Bailey zone the drill rig broke down
on May 24(th) due to mechanical failure of the drilling head. Repairs (re-
build) were carried out in Hermosillo over the past couple of weeks with
drilling operations only having resumed on June 18(th). After completing HDH
11-15 this rig will resume drilling at the Karen zone to continue definition
drilling as well as further investigate this new area of interest.
As the Company prepares for the arrival of a second drill on site, access road
and drill pad construction continues along with selective prospecting, surface
sampling and mapping of both existing known targets (within the original
concessions) as well as new known targets within the recently acquired
contiguous land packages.
In the absence of any major delays the above work is scheduled to be completed
within the next 3 to 4 months. During this time the Company aims to continue
providing shareholders ongoing updates and results as well as additional
information and content for our website.
Additionally, the Company's newly constructed camp and compound area is now
fully operational and secured.
"We're expecting the pace and scope of exploration and drilling to ramp up quite
a bit in the near term. After meeting and reviewing the results with SJ
Geophysics our level of confidence in the Diana zone having the size necessary
to support a plus 1 million ounce gold equivalent target has been strongly
demonstrated with the chargeability's strong correlation to our earlier drilling
and surface sampling. Having discovered the Erica zone as a chargeability
target that's considerably larger than Diana and also well supported by strongly
correlated anomalous grid surface sampling is a real bonus for our shareholders
and something we are very keen to fully investigate the potential of in these
coming months. However just as encouraging for the near term is to learn how
the area around the higher grade Karen zone appears to be expanding along this
andesite contact" remarks Jim Voisin, President & CEO.
