[{"type":"text","content":"Minaurum Samples 102 g/t Gold and 4.6% Copper at Newly Discovered Alessandra VeinVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 26, 2018) - Minaurum Gold Inc. (TSXV: MGG) (\"Minaurum\") is pleased to announce the first high grade gold discovery at the Alamos silver project in Mexico. The newly discovered Alessandra vein zone lies in the eastern part of the project, approximately 1 km southeast of the Ana zone (see News Release dated June 5, 2018). Alessandra measures more than 4 metres wide in surface exposures, and can be traced for 1.1 km, with a topographic linear suggesting it extends at least another 1 km to the south-west. \"The discovery of bonanza gold grades for the first time at the Alamos project corroborates the numerous mentions of high-grade gold in historical reports,\" stated Darrell Rader, President and CEO of Minaurum. \"The Alessandra vein system adds an exciting new facet to the district-scale of the project and we look forward to testing it in our ongoing drill program.\" The Alessandra vein zone is a 1 to 4 m-wide, east-dipping vein zone hosted in faulted lower Cretaceous limestone. It has been traced in surface exposures for 1.1 km along strike and pronounced topographic linears suggest that the vein may continue for at least another km to the southwest. Copper oxides, epidote, quartz, specular hematite, and manganese oxides dominate surface mineralization exposures. Chalcopyrite has been found in unoxidized hand specimens. Six samples assayed more than 100 ppb Au, including the 102 g/t sample, which is the highest gold value recorded during Minaurum's 2-year tenure on the property. Sixteen rock samples from the Alessandra zone assayed more than 1% Cu, with the highest value of 4.6% Cu. Anomalous Zn values included a sample running 4.90% Zn. Notably, silver grades are low (See Table 1 for a summary of the significant rock-chip samples from the Alessandra zone). Overall, the skarn mineral assemblage and contained metals suggests a proximal, skarn-dominated mineralization style than the distal epithermal mineralization seen elsewhere on the projectFigure 1.
