FOR RELEASE: December 20, 2018 TSX.V:MGG ; MMRGF:OTCQX
(MGG 2018 – NR #15)
Minaurum Receives $3.9 Million From Warrant Exercises and Provides
Exploration Update
Minaurum Gold Inc., (“Minaurum”) is pleased to announce that it has received $3,981,937.50 in proceeds
from the exercise of warrants bringing its consolidated cash balance to approximately $10M. The se
additional funds provide Minaurum with the flexibility to expand its on -going exploration program at the
Alamos silver project. Minaurum currently has 308,939,046 shares issued and outstanding.
Minaurum is also please d to announce the mobilization of a second man-portable drill rig to the Alamos
project in order to accelerate the drill testing of new ly identified vein systems. Minaurum’s exploration
strategy remains focused on a first-pass test of one or two holes into each high-potential vein system for the
purpose of creating a project -wide exploration inventory. Once completed, subsequent drilling will
systematically advance the highest priority targets in the inventory as determined by Minaurum’s technical
team.
In addition, on-going district-scale reconnaissance resulted in the discovery of the 1.2-km long, monzonite-
hosted Salvial vein zone. Salvial lies 3 km southwest of the gold-rich Alessandra vein zone (See News
Release dated 26 November, 2018) and consists of multiple veins that locally measure 3 metres wide in
surface exposures. This newly mapped zone is open to the northeast and to the southwest. Salvial has
several features in common with Alessandra including gold-dominance and associated specular hematite.
Silver to gold ratios for both Salvial and Alessandra are very low, in contrast to the veins mined in the
historic part of the district, adding support to the emerging picture of the Alamos Project as a long-lived,
multi-stage epithermal vein camp. Map locations of the vein and preliminary sample results follow below.

zone.

are presented in Table 1. The Salvial zone is entirely hosted by quartz monzonite.

Stephen R. Maynard, Vice President of Exploration of Minaurum and a Qualified Person as
defined by National Instrument 43 -101, reviewed and ver ified 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 information, 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) protocol. 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 Vanco uver, the
pulps are analyzed for gold 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 v alues greater than 10,000 ppm (1%) are 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 duplicate 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 interva l.
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.
