CALGARY / March 3, 2025 / San Lorenzo Gold Corp. ("San Lorenzo" or the "Company") (TSXV: SLG) is pleased to announce assay results from the first of 3 recently drilled holes on its Cerro Blanco gold/copper porphyry target located on San Lorenzo’s flagship Salvadora property in Chile. 

San Lorenzo’s CEO Al Kroontje commented that “it’s extremely gratifying to be announcing a discovery hole with our first drill test of Cerro Blanco, a target management has had high conviction about. Cerro Blanco is a very large target and we’re just scratching the surface with the three reconnaissance holes in the current program. San Lorenzo is fortunate to control a property that has not one or two, but five high quality target areas. 

The table below shows the assay results from Hole SAL 01-24 - the first of the 3 holes recently drilled on the Cerro Blanco copper/gold porphyry target.

The table below shows the mineralized intervals and assay results from Hole SAL 01-24 - the first of the 3 holes recently drilled on the Cerro Blanco copper/gold porphyry target.

Hole #	Intercept	From (m)	To (m)	Width (m)	Au (g/t)	Ag (g/t)	Cu (%)
SAL-01-24		229.0	382.5	153.5	1.04	1.0	0.05
	Including	290.5	382.5	92	1.38	1.1	0.06
	Including	331.7	335.5	3.8	12.78	6.5	0.51

Cerro Blanco is a 2 x 2-kilometer area of coincident copper/gold soil and rock geochemistry, IP chargeability and an exposed litho-cap that San Lorenzo believes overlays a mineralized porphyry system. Cerro Blanco has never been drilled before. Mineralization in hole SAL 01-24 continued to the bottom of the hole, indicating the mineralized system remains open to depth. 

Commenting on the Cerro Blanco results, Terence Walker, San Lorenzo’s VP of Exploration explained: “The initial drill program on Cerro Blanco was designed as a widely spaced first pass recon program. It was intended to confirm the company's opinion that the coincident strong surface copper and gold sample values, the alteration types observed in the local intrusive and volcanic rocks and the underlying IP/Chargeability anomalies are part of a local gold/copper enriched porphyry deposit like those at the nearby El Salvador mine complex. These assays results indicate the hole’s position in the outer margin of a porphyry deposit, and we feel extremely fortunate to have received such significant results from the very first hole drilled on this exciting target.” 

Terry Walker continued: “The assay results correspond exceedingly well with our IP interpretation which reinforces our belief that IP will continue to be a valuable tool during future drilling.” 2 

San Lorenzo has been advised that assay results from the other two holes recently drilled on the Cerro Blanco porphyry target will be forthcoming during the next approximately 2 weeks. Holes two and three contain alteration and mineralization similar in appearance to hole one. 

Sample Handling and Qualified Person 

All drill core logging, sample selection, cutting, bagging and delivery to the ALS lab in Copiapó was carried out by San Lorenzo staff under the on-site supervision of Eric Hanson P. Geo. and QP. 

Terence Walker, P. Geo., a qualified person for purposes of NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the contents of this release. 

About San Lorenzo 

San Lorenzo is focused on advancing its flagship Salvadora property located in Chile’s mega-porphyry belt. Results obtained from drilling programs already conducted on 4 different targets have convinced management that several significant gold and copper enriched epithermal and porphyry style systems lie within the boundaries of the Salvadora property. 

San Lorenzo looks forward to providing continued updates on the recent Cerro Blanco and Arco de Oro drilling in the coming weeks.
