Minaurum Discovers Extension of Historic Promontorio-Quintera Vein
Minaurum Gold Inc. (“Minaurum”) is pleased to announce that it has discovered extensions of the historic
Promontorio-Quintera Vein and the Nueva Europa Vein at the Alamos Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico.
The Promontorio-Quintera extension named “ Promontorio Sur ” extends for 1 km and is cut-off and
down-dropped by a northwest -trending fault from the historic vein that produced in excess of 120M oz
silver. The Nueva Europa extension known as “Nueva Europa Sur ” was mapped for over 600m. The
Nueva Europa vein was drilled 1.5 km north of the extension in Hole AL17-007, which intersected 1.2 m
of 541 g/t Ag and 0.28% Cu (see Minaurum News Release dated January 18, 2018).
“We are excited to have discovered what appears to be the southern extension of the historic
Promontorio-Quintera vein. This significant vein is abruptly cut -off by a fault while still in high-grade
mineralization. The extension has the potential to host virgin minerali zation at depth and at grades
similar to those that were historically mined,” stated Darrell Rader, President and CEO of Minaurum.
PROMONTORIO SUR VEIN
Mapping has indicated that the southern end of the Promontorio-Quintera vein is cut -off by a NW-
trending fault that separated the 1 km long Promontorio Sur from the historic vein as well as dropping it
down on the SW side of the fault. The N-NE-striking, steeply NW-dipping Promontorio Sur cuts
andesitic agglomerate and consists of quartz/carbonate/barite veins and breccia-fill up to 1.5 m wide. No
significant workings occur on t he vein extension and the highest assay from surface sampling returned
181 g/t Ag and 1.06% Cu over 1.1m.
NUEVA EUROPA SUR VEIN
The NE-striking, steeply E-dipping Nueva Europa vein was extended to the southwest another 600 m by
recent mapping and sampling (Table 1; Figures 1, 2 and 3 ). With the new extension, the entire Nueva
Europa vein measures 2 km in length. A 0.8 m long chip sample on the Nueva Europa Sur vein zone
assayed 52 g/t Ag and 0.54% Cu, and a sample from a prospect dump ran 91 g/t Ag and 1.00% Cu
(Table 1; Figures 1, 2, and 3). For comparison purposes, Hole AL17-007 which intersected 1.2 m of 541
g/t Ag and 0.28% Cu , was drilled approximately 150 m down-dip from surface samples assayin g from 6
to 93 g/t Ag and from 0.02 to 0.12% Cu.

Stephen R. Maynard, Vice President of Exploration of Minaurum and a Qualified Person as defined by National
Instrument 43-101, reviewed and verified the assay data, and has approved the disclosure in this News Release.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements: Certain disclosures in this release constitute forward -
looking information. In making the forward -looking statements in this release, Minaurum has applied certain
factors and assumptions that are based on Minaurum’ s current beliefs as well as assumptions made by and
information currently available to Minaurum. Although Minaurum considers these assumptions to be reasonable
based on information currently available to it, they may prove to be incorrect, and the forward-looking statements in
this release are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause future results to differ
materially from those expressed or implied in such forward -looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Minaurum does not intend, and expressly disclaims any intention or
obligation to, update or revise any forward -looking statements whether as a result of new infor mation, future events
or otherwise, except as required by law.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control: Preparation and assaying of drilling samples from Minaurum's Alamos project
are done with strict adherence to a Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) pro tocol. Core samples are sawed
in half and then bagged in a secure facility near the site, and then shipped by a licensed courier to ALS Minerals'
preparation facility in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico . ALS prepares the samples, crushing them to 70% less than
2mm, splitting off 250g, and pulverizing the split to more than 85% passing 75 microns. The resulting sample pulps
are prepared in Hermosillo, and then shipped to Vancouver for chemical analysis by ALS Minerals. In Vancouver,
the pulps are analyzed for gol d by fire assay and ICP/AES on a 50 -gram charge. In addition, analyses are done for
a 48-element suite using 4 -acid digestion and ICP analysis. Samples with silver values greater than 100 g/t; and
copper, lead, or zinc values greater than 10,000 ppm (1%) a re re -analyzed using 4 -acid digestion and atomic
absorption spectrometry (AAS).
Quality-control (QC) samples are inserted in the sample stream every 20 samples, and thus represent 5% of the
total samples. QC samples include standards, blanks, and duplica te samples. Standards are pulps that have been
prepared by a third -party laboratory; they have gold, silver, and base -metal values that are established by an
extensive analytical process in which several commercial labs (including ALS Minerals) participate . Standards test
the calibration of the analytical equipment. Blanks are rock material known from prior sampling to contain less
than 0.005 ppm gold; they test the sample preparation procedure for cross -sample contamination. In the case of
duplicates, the sample interval is cut in half, and then quartered. The first quarter is the original sample, the second
becomes the duplicate. Duplicate samples provide a test of the reproducibility of assays in the same drilled interval.
When final assays are received, QC sample results are inspected for deviation from accepted values. To date, QC
sample analytical results have fallen in acceptable ranges on the Alamos project.
