Discovered Veins Cropping Out In the Southeast Alteration Zone Of Ixtaca Property

VANCOUVER - Almaden Minerals Ltd. reported that several areas of possible high-level epithermal veining have been identified cropping out within the Southeast (SE) Alteration Zone of the Ixtaca Project. This area is a focus of the Company’s current exploration program. The discovery of veining within several outcrops within the SE Alteration Zone is further evidence of the areas’ potential for hosting additional zones of epithermal mineralization. The newly identified zones of veining may represent higher levels of a potential underlying epithermal system. These new veins have been sampled by an independent qualified person, as defined by NI 43-101, whose samples have been submitted for analysis at ALS Global in Zacatecas, Mexico. The Company is currently planning additional prospecting and mapping in this area.
