[{"type":"text","content":"Minaurum Announces High Grade Sampling Results at La Quintera; Commences Exploration ProgramVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 27, 2016 / Minaurum Gold Inc. (TSXV: MGG) (\"Minaurum\") is pleased to announce the results of initial rock sampling and the commencement of an exploration program at its La Quintera Silver Project.\nHistorical exploration work on the project included taking 334 rock samples of which 97 assayed 100-1,380 grams per tonne (\"g/t\") Silver (\"Ag\") and 106 returned values 30 - 100 g/t Ag. Minaurum's initial sampling confirmed the prior range of high-grade assay results along with the addition of significant base metal grades. Highlights include: 1.0 metre of 1,020 g/tsilver, 1.11% copper, and 0.52% zinc; 2 metres of 427 g/t silver, 0.33% leadand 0.42% zinc; and 2.5m of 232 g/t silver, 1.24% lead and 0.43% zinc.\nMinaurum has also commenced an extensive exploration program including the survey of old mine workings, detailed geologic mapping, rock sampling, and the interpretation of structural geology and geochemical zonation.\n\"We are very pleased to receive high grade results right at the outset of our initial sampling program at La Quintera,\" stated Darrell Rader, President and CEO. \"We have now commenced an exploration program to locate further high grade silver zones and to define drill targets.\"\nTable 1.
