Calgary, Alberta - TheNewswire - June 22, 2021: San Lorenzo Gold Corp. ("San Lorenzo" or the "Company") (tsxv :slg) announces that it has completed its previously announced 260 line kilometer magnetometer (“MAG”) survey on its 100% owned Salvadora Copper – Gold Project (“Salvadora”) located in Chile.  Processing of the MAG survey data is underway and is expected to be completed soon.  The 100% owned Salvadora Project is 8,796 hectares and is geologically situated in one of the productive copper belts in Chile and is approximately 15 km from the world class El Salvador open pit copper-gold mine (see Figure 1).

 

The main objective of the MAG survey is to outline structures and phases of intrusive activity and the results of the MAG survey will help in planning an Induced Polarization (“IP”) geophysical survey.  The planned IP survey which is expected to commence in the next month will cover most of the property and will follow up on positive results from previous limited sized IP surveys.
