Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

TORONTO, April 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Amarillo Gold Corporation (Amarillo or the Company) (TSXV: AGC, OTCQB: AGCBF) is on track to complete the feasibility study on its Mara Rosa Project in the second quarter of 2020, as planned.Drilling programs begun late last year at Mara Rosa and Lavras do Sul have been completed. Assay results from Lavras do Sul are delayed due to temporary lab shutdowns, but the company expects to receive the results when business conditions return to normal.“The health and safety of our employees and communities is our number one priority,” said Mike Mutchler, Amarillo’s Chief Executive Officer. “Most of our staff are working from home and minimizing contact. At Mara Rosa and Lavras do Sul, we’re only doing essential work, while following all guidelines from the Brazilian government.”Amarillo had CAD $5 million in cash at the end of March. This is enough capital to meet its strategic goals, which include completing the definitive feasibility study and receiving the Installation License that will allow construction to go ahead at Mara Rosa. These will be the only ongoing major expenditures for the foreseeable future.“Our short-term goal is to conserve cash even as we pursue our long-term goal of building our flagship project, Mara Rosa, into a gold producer,” said Mutchler. “We have put measures in place that will protect our team and enable us to continue working toward our objectives.”About AmarilloAmarillo Gold Corporation (www.amarillogold.com) is developing an open pit gold resource at its Mara Rosa Project in the mining-friendly jurisdiction of Goias State in Brazil.
