TARACHI AMENDS OPTION AGREEMENT
AND REDUCES FUTURE CASH OBLIGATIONS
Vancouver, British Columbia (April 21, 2022) – Tarachi Gold Corp. (CSE: TRG) (OTCQB: TRGGF) (Frankfurt: 4RZ) (“Tarachi” or the “Company” - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/tarachi-gold-corp/) is pleased to announce that the Company has amended the option agreement terms with Minerals de Tarachi (“Minerales”) resulting in a significant reduction in future cash obligations.
The mineral concessions included in the original option agreement with Minerales de Tarachi are included in the Company’s Tarachi project in Sonora, Mexico. After preliminary exploration work across the Tarachi Project, Tarachi’s exploration team has identified certain mineral concessions optioned from Minerales with low potential for discovery of commercial-scale gold deposits. Management was successful in negotiating with Minerales in recent months to drop those mineral concessions from the option agreement in exchange for a reduction in future cash option payments totalling $1,300,000 USD. A comparison of the original and amended option terms can be found in the table below.

The amended terms will allow Tarachi to continue focusing exploration efforts and expenditures on the most favorable concessions including Jabali, San Javier, Juliana and La Texana while reducing both near- and medium-term cash obligations. As a result of the amendment, the Tarachi project, including other concessions optioned from Exploradora Cobre de Bacanoras (see press release dated September 3, 2020), now totals approximately 2,623 hectares.
