Rationale for Transaction
La Dura is a past-producing underground gold mine. Drilling performed by previous owners Urastar and by Tarachi Gold indicate the presence of high grade gold from surface to a depth of approximately 100m, with the mineralized zone remaining open at depth. Drilling by Tarachi Gold in 2020 and 2021 included selective assay results as high as 6.91 g/t gold over 63.4 metres and 7.26 g/t gold over 12 metres. See Historical Drill Highlights below. Regency plans to put the mine back into production and enter into a toll milling arrangement with a nearby mine. Regency is currently undertaking the studies required to cost the capex and opex of such a restart. Regency is in the process of completing a NI 43-101 technical report on the project. The deposit model is interpreted as a direct genetic analogue to the nearby Mulatos deposit.
Management Commentary
Bruce Bragagnolo, Chief Executive Officer of Regency Silver, commented:
“Jabali fits the model that worked at Timmins Gold – a Mexican gold property in a producing district, with a multi-generational drill database and clear geological analogues to a neighbouring producer. Mulatos has produced more than two million ounces of gold six kilometres from this concession. 1 Our objective is straightforward: validate the historical work, complete a NI 43-101 resource and put Jabali back into production using the toll milling model for processing.”
— Bruce Bragagnolo, CEO, Regency Silver Corp.

Why Did Regency Silver Acquire Jabali?
Regency Silver acquired Jabali for four reasons:
-
Past production with established high grade gold mineralization. La Dura is a past-producing high grade gold mine with documented historic high-grade drilling. Regency is of the view that the existing workings will make the La Dura mine easier to put back into production.
-
Proximity to a producing mines. The property is 6 km west of Alamos Gold’s Mulatos operation, and only 10 km southeast of Agnico Eagle’s La India mine.
-
Multi-generational drill database. The property carries assay data from four prior operators (Ormonde Mining, Minera Real de Ángeles, Urastar, and Tarachi Gold), totalling more than 6,300 sample records and over 2,000 metres of recent diamond drilling.
-
Portfolio fit with Dios Padre. Jabali consolidates Regency’s Sonora exploration footprint within the same Sierra Madre Occidental gold belt as the Company’s flagship Dios Padre project and the La India project.

Metallurgy
Metallurgical test work performed in 2021 by a previous operator showed that the test samples responded very well to leaching by cyanide. Test work performed by Bureau Veritas Metallurgical Division showed gold extraction from baseline cyanide leaching at 40 wt.% solids in 1.0 g/L NaCN solution for 48 hours averaged 94.8%. Cyanide (as NaCN) consumption averaged 1.73 kg/t. In general, less than 0.5 kg/t hydrated lime was required to maintain a slurry pH above 10.5 during leaching.
