Minaurum Discovers Blind Silver Vein Grading 669 g/t AgEq Over 2.05 Metres, Highlighting Potential for Additional Blind Veins of Scale; Resource Expansion Drilling Returns 367 g/t AgEq Over 2.65 Metres at Europa Sur at the Alamos Silver Project

Minaurum Silver Inc. (TSX-V: MGG) (OTCQX: MMRGF) is pleased to announce the discovery of the high-grade Africa vein zone, a previously unrecognized “blind” vein, highlighting the potential for additional blind veins of significant scale across the Alamos Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico.  Drilling returned 669 g/t AgEq over 2.05 metres and demonstrated the potential for high-grade mineralization beyond the known surface-exposed vein.

The Company also reports multiple high-grade results from resource-expansion drilling at the Europa Sur, Quintera, San Jose, and Promontorio Sur vein zones, including 367 g/t AgEq over 2.65 metres at Europa Sur and 462 g/t AgEq over 1.50 metres at Quintera. These results form part of Minaurum’s ongoing Phase II, 50,000-metre resource-expansion drilling program at Alamos.

Highlights include:

Africa Vein Zone 

  • 1.30 m of 592 g/t AgEq
    (498 g/t Ag, 0.05 g/t Au, 0.35% Cu, 0.78% Pb, 1.85% Zn) (Hole AL26-257)
  • 2.05 m of 669 g/t AgEq
    (270 g/t Ag, 0.87 g/t Au, 1.55% Cu, 2.80% Pb, 5.62% Zn) (Hole AL26-268)

Europa Sur Vein Zone 

  • 2.65 m of 367 g/t AgEq
    (226 g/t Ag, 0.10 g/t Au, 0.84% Cu, 0.94% Pb, 1.76% Zn)
    including 1.35 m of 596 g/t AgEq
    (376 g/t Ag, 0.13 gt Au, 1.38% Cu, 1.27% Pb, 2.72% Zn) (Hole AL26-266)
  • 0.60 m of 1,140 g/t AgEq
    (712 g/t Ag, 3.41 g/t Au, 0.39% Cu, 1.70% Pb, 2.40% Zn) (Hole AL26-261)
  • 1.90 m of 416 g/t AgEq
    (114 g/t Ag, 2.27 g/t Au, 0.49% Cu, 0.82% Pb, 1.74% Zn) (Hole AL26-268)

Quintera Vein Zone

  • 3.20 m of 253 g/t AgEq
    (186 g/t Ag, 0.01 g/t Au, 0.71% Cu, 0.16% Pb, 0.08% Zn)
    including 1.50 m of 462 g/t AgEq
    (350 g/t Ag, 0.01 g/t Au, 1.22% Cu, 0.24% Pb, 0.09% Zn) (Hole AL26-259)

 


“The discovery of the high-grade, blind Africa vein represents an exciting new opportunity for resource expansion ahead of our upcoming resource estimate update,” stated Darrell Rader, President and CEO. “The Africa vein was discovered by drilling the Europa Sur vein zone, and continuing into its footwall. This discovery highlights the potential for additional blind veins of scale across the Project, including robust, high-grade parallel vein zones similar to the one hosting the Africa vein.”

NEW African Vein Zone

The newly discovered Africa vein, intersected in holes AL26-257, -268, and -270, lies about 50 m in the footwall (west of) the Europa Sur vein. Company geologists noted significant alteration in the footwall and allowed hole AL26-257 to continue, thus discovering the Africa vein.  Hole AL26-257 cut 1.30 m of 592 g/t AgEq (498 g/t Ag, 0.05 g/t Au, 0.35% Cu, 0.78% Pb, 1.85% Zn) and hole AL26-268 reported 2.05 m of 669 g/t AgEq (270 g/t Ag, 0.87 g/t Au, 1.55% Cu, 2.80% Pb, 5.62% Zn) (Table 1, Figures 1 and 2).

The Africa vein is open along strike with strong potential demonstrated by Minaurum hole AL19-018, which intersected 5.35m of 156 g/t AgEq (88 g/t Ag, 0.07 g/t Au, 0.13% Cu, 0.51% Pb, 1.71% Zn) about 400 m north of the AL26-257 intersection, also in the footwall of Europa Sur (see new release dated August 22, 2019).

Europa – Europa Sur Vein Zones 

Europa Sur, the southern extension of the Europa vein zone, is not included in the inferred initial resource (see news release dated January 28, 2026).  Europa Sur continues to demonstrate continuity of mineralization and potential for resource expansion outside of the central Europa vein. Higher grades of gold and copper continue to be intersected in the Europa Sur zone (see news releases dated March 31, May 27, July 8, and September 23, 2026).

Hole AL26-261 intersected significant high-grade mineralization across 0.60 m of 1,140 g/t AgEq (712 g/t Ag, 3.41 g/t Au, 0.39% Cu, 1.70% Pb, 2.40% Zn) in the Europa Sur zone about 100 m south of the AL26-255 interval of 0.95 m of 256 g/t AgEq (see Minaurum News Release dated September 23, 2026). Hole AL26-266 intersected 2.65 m of 367 g/t AgEq (226 g/t Ag, 0.10 g/t Au, 0.84% Cu, 0.94% Pb, 1.76% Zn) roughly 160 m to the north of and 150 m above the AL26-255 intersection. Hole AL26-268 cut 1.90 m of 416 g/t AgEq (114 g/t Ag, 2.27 g/t Au, 0.49% Cu, 0.82% Pb, and 1.74% Zn) in an 80-m step out to the south and above the AL26-255 intercept (Table 2, Figures 3 and 4).

Quintera – Travesia Vein Zones 

The upcoming updated inferred resource estimate is expected to include a portion of the silver-rich Quintera vein zone. Hole AL26-259 intersected 3.20 m of 253 g/t AgEq (186 g/t Ag, 0.01 g/t Au, 0.71% Cu, 0.16% Pb, 0.08% Zn) about 80 m above and 80 m south of the intersection of hole AL26-230: 26.30 m of 369 g/t AgEq (306 g/t Ag, 0.03 g/t Au, 0.37% Cu, 0.73% Pb, 0.61% Zn) (see news release dated August 25, 2026). See Table 3 and Figure 5.

Drilling continues at Quintera – Travesia.

The Promontorio Sur vein zone is the southern extension of the Promontorio vein zone, down-dropped across a NW-SE striking fault. Drilling at Promontorio Sur continues to report significant intersections weighted in base metals with silver and gold credits. Hole AL26-263 cut 3.95 m of 160 g/t AgEq (39 g/t Ag, 0.18 g/t Au, 0.25% Cu, 1.50% Pb, 2.28% Zn), including 1.20 m of 301 g/t AgEq (107 g/t Ag, 0.31 g/t Au, 0.66% Cu, 2.07% Pb, 2.92% Zn). Hole AL26-265 reported0.40 m of 691 g/t AgEq (404 g/t Ag, 2.06 g/t Au, 0.80% Cu, 0.20% Pb, 1.31% Zn) and 1.90 m of 239 g/t AgEq (130 g/t Ag, 0.18 g/t Au, 1.00% Cu, 0.19% Pb, 0.16% Zn) (Table 4, Figure 6). Drilling continues at Promontorio Sur with assays pending.
