(the \"Company\" or \"Minaurum\") is pleased to announce the first four holes of its ongoing diamond drill program on the Cerro Grande skarn target at its 100%-owned, 11,300-hectare Adelita Project in northwestern Mexico. The first two holes drilled demonstrate the continuity of mineralization down-dip from the old workings and indicate that the mineralized zone thickens with depth in this section. The zone remains open at depth and along strike to the north.Hole CGDD-10-001 intersected 16.15 metres of 0.835 g/t Au, 73 g/t Ag, and 1.97% Cu, from 35.65 to 51.80 metres. This interval includes a 5.33-metre zone grading 1.123 g/t Au, 85 g/t Ag, and 2.34 % Cu from 35.65 to 40.98 metres. Hole CGDD-10-002 cut a 47.64-metre zone grading 0.462 g/t Au, 46 g/t Ag, and 0.98% Cu, from 35.57 to 83.21 metres. The zone includes a 6.31-metre interval grading 2.230 g/t Au, 238 g/t Ag, and 3.56% Cu, from 63.40 to 69.71.Hole CGDD-10-004 intersected 11.20 metres of 0.587 g/t Au, 40 g/t Ag, and 0.33% Cu from 184.79 to 195.99 metres. The interval included a 2.88-metre zone of 1.285 g/t Au, 97 g/t Ag, and 0.24% Cu from 189.89 to 192.77 metres. Hole CGDD-10-003 intersected skarn and hornfels with traces of mineralization.The on-going 2,000-metre drilling campaign at Cerro Grande is aimed at testing Au-Ag-Cu skarn mineralization over an area roughly 1000 x 1500 metres. The Cerro Grande target is one of several target areas identified at the Adelita project. The Mezquital target area, a 500 x 2000 metres Cu-Mo soil anomaly lies 2.5 km to the west of Cerro Grande; Minaurum geologists believe it represents a porphyry copper system that is related to nearby skarn mineralization.\"We are very pleased to have encountered such encouraging mineralization in our first holes at Adelita\", said Darrell Rader, Minaurum Gold President. \"The Cerro Grande skarn target is one of several high-grade targets that we believe may be related to a nearby porphyry copper system.\"Table 1.
