(\"Minaurum\") announces the results of the second group of five drill holes in its ongoing first phase drill program targeting a 3000 m long by 1500 m wide surface gold geochemical anomaly on its 100% owned Aurena gold-skarn project in southern Mexico. (See News Releases dated October 19, 2010 and May 9, 2011). The holes were drilled as step-outs from the first five holes and two of the holes in this second group intercepted significant thicknesses of sulfide-bearing prograde skarn-altered rocks, starting close to the surface. To view a map of the first 10 drill holes, including those in this press release, please follow the hyperlink below: http://www.minaurum.com/i/maps/Aurena2011DASMap.gifThe best results came from Hole AURC-11-006 which, starting at 4.50 m, cut 43.50 m of 1.01 g/t Au, including 19.50 m of 1.64 g/t Au. The highest grade sample was 3.48 g/t Au. The hole was collared 90 m north of hole AURC-11-005 and drilled S20W at -45 degrees. Mineralization is sulfide-rich with no evidence of significant surface or oxide enrichment.Hole AURC-11-007, collared at the same location as AURC-11-006 but drilled to the west-northwest at minus 45 degrees. It intersected two important mineralized zones: 6.00 m of 0.84 g/t Au, from 34.50 m to 40.50 m; and 23.80 m of 0.99 g/t Au, from 125.20 m to 149.00 m. The highest grade sample was 2.86 g/t Au. A 1.5m intersection from 24.00 m to 25.50 m returned 1,280 g/t Ag (37 oz/t Ag) and 0.48 g/t Au.\"Continuing to intersect gold mineralization at surface confirms the potential of this gold-skarn system,\" stated Darrell Rader, President and CEO of Minaurum. \"We now have near-surface mineralization in three contiguous holes that appear to lie along the fringes of a potentially stronger part of this gold system. Gold mineralization remains potentially open to the west, northwest, north, and at depth, from these two reported holes. Our ongoing step-out drilling program is aggressively focused on tracking down its extent.\"Highlights from holes AURC-11-006 and AURC-11-007 include:\n\n-----------------------------------------------------------------\n|Hole |From (m) |To (m)|Interval (m)|Au (g/t)|Ag (g/t)|\n|---------------------------------------------------------------|\...
