[{"type":"text","content":"Minaurum Samples up to 1205 g/t Silver and 3.2% Copper On Newly Discovered Europa Sur Vein ExtensionVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 23, 2018) -  Minaurum Gold Inc., (TSXV: MGG) (\"Minaurum\") is pleased to announce the acquisition of the 311-hectare Claraboya concession located in the western part of its 100% owned Alamos Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico. Claraboya hosts the newly discovered southern extension of the Europa-Guadalupe Vein system named \"Europa Sur\" and surface sampling along it returned assays ranging from anomalous up to 1205 g/t Ag, 3.19% Cu, 1.9% Pb and 1.44% Zn (Table 1). These values are in keeping with those intersected in Hole AL17-007 on the Europa-Guadalupe vein that returned 8.25 m of 1760 g/t Ag (see News Release dated January 18, 2018). With this newly discovered extension, the Europa-Guadalupe vein now measures 2.5 km in strike length and further expands the scope of Minaurum's exploration program to find extensions of all other currently identified veins.\"We are excited that mapping and sampling in the newly acquired Claraboya concession has extended the high-grade Europa-Guadalupe vein by over 1 km. This new zone pushes the overall footprint of the Alamos district to 10 km long by 3 km wide,\" stated Darrell Rader, President and CEO of Minaurum. \"We look forward to incorporating targets in this new area into our current drill program.\" The Europa Sur vein zone comprises several splits and extensions of the Europa-Guadalupe vein system and includes the Europa W, Europa SW, and Europa SE structures (Figures 1 and 2). The Europa SW and Europa SE zones lie on the steeply east and west dipping bounding faults of a 200-m wide down-dropped block (graben). A swarm of quartz veinlets is exposed in the middle of the down-dropped block, suggesting the possibility of mineralized veins at depth (\"Piano-Key Model\"). The Europa W vein set runs parallel to the Europa SW zone and has been traced for between 100-200 metres.Table 1.
