MGG Hits 1,469 g/t AgEq at San Jose as Resource Expansion Drilling Delivers
Minaurum Just Hit Silver Grades Above 2,400 g/t AgEq And These Zones Aren’t Even in the Resource Yet
- A monster hit at San Jose: Hole AL26-249 returned 0.50 m of 2,425 g/t AgEq (1,910 g/t Ag, 0.43 g/t Au, 3.90% Cu, 4.71% Zn)… that’s nearly 2 kilograms of silver per tonne.
- Two brand-new zones headed into the resource: Quintera and Europa Sur were excluded from Minaurum’s maiden resource estimate… and both are now delivering high-grade continuity that will be incorporated into the upcoming resource update.
- Step-outs keep working: 3.40 m of 397 g/t AgEq (incl. 0.30 m of 1,433 g/t AgEq) at Europa Sur, and 0.50 m of 1,559 g/t AgEq at Quintera… roughly 100 m down-dip of the previously reported 5.95 m of 1,117 g/t AgEq.
- A new discovery front opens: Promontorio Sur received its first-ever step-out drilling and hit immediately… 0.45 m of 386 g/t AgEq inside a 6 m-wide vein zone, along a structure traceable for more than 1 kilometre. Drilling continues with assays pending.
- Growth on top of growth: These results come from an aggressive, fully active Phase II 50,000-metre resource-expansion program at the 100%-owned, production-permitted Alamos Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico.
- The kicker: Multiple intercepts carry meaningful gold and copper credits alongside silver… and more assays are pending from several zones right now.
Minaurum Resource Step-Out Drilling Returns: 3.40 m of 397 g/t AgEq at Europa Sur, 1.90 m of 323 g/t AgEq at Quintera, and 0.90 m of 1,469 g/t AgEq at San Jose in Alamos Silver Project
Vancouver, British Columbia – September 24, 2026 – Minaurum Silver Inc. (TSXV: MGG) (OTCQX: MMRGF) (“Minaurum” or the “Company”) is pleased to report high-grade silver drill results from the Europa, Quintera, San Jose, and Promontorio Sur Vein Zones, as part of its ongoing Phase II, 50,000-metre resource-expansion drilling program at the Alamos Silver Project (“Alamos”) in Sonora, Mexico.

“Resource-expansion drilling continues to demonstrate the strong continuity of our high-grade silver vein zones… including Quintera and Europa Sur… while the San Jose vein delivered impressive results with silver grades exceeding 1 kg/t. Additionally, Promontorio Sur received its first round of step-out drilling, yielding encouraging initial results, with further assays to be released as they become available.”
Quintera – Travesia Vein Zones
Drilling at Quintera is successfully defining the vertical and horizontal extent of the high-grade silver shoot both below and along strike of the historical workings. Positioned 100 to 150 metres in the hanging wall (western side) of the Quintera vein zone, the Travesia vein zone allows a single drill hole to intersect both systems. Although Quintera was excluded from Minaurum’s initial resource estimate (see news release dated January 28, 2026), it will be incorporated into the upcoming resource update.
In the Travesia vein zone, hole AL26-243 intersected 1.90 m of 323 g/t AgEq, including 0.50 m of 715 g/t AgEq (637 g/t Ag, 0.69% Cu, 0.30% Pb, 0.53% Zn). Hole AL26-236 and hole AL25-250 cut 0.65 m of 318 g/t AgEq (236 g/t Ag, 0.01 g/t Au, 0.84% Cu, 0.31% Pb, 0.10% Zn) and 0.50 m of 1,559 g/t AgEq, respectively, in the Quintera vein zone. Hole AL26-250 cuts Quintera approximately 100 m down-dip from the 5.95 m of 1,117 g/t AgEq intersection (Hole AL26-215) (see news release dated July 8, 2026), while hole AL26-236 cut the Quintera zone about 80 m to the north and 20 m higher than the AL26-250 intercept (Table 1, Figures 2, 3, and 4).

Promontorio Sur Vein Zone
South of the Promontorio mine, quartz-calcite veinlets with anomalous values of silver and copper cut andesitic volcanic rocks and can be traced for more than 1 km. Previous drilling reported high grades in the northern part of the Promontorio Sur vein zone adjacent to the NW-trending fault that separates it from the Promontorio zone in fault-controlled veining as well as in carbonate-replacement in limestone beneath the volcanics (see news releases dated August 22, 2019; September 24, 2024; February 13 and 27, 2025).
Step-out drilling about 200 m to the south of the NW-trending fault in Hole AL26-248 intersected 0.45 m of 386 g/t AgEq (177 g/t Ag, 0.86 g/t Au, 1.18% Cu, 0.30% Pb, 1.04% Zn) within a 6 m-wide vein zone (Table 2, Figure 2). Drilling continues at Promontorio Sur with assays pending.

Europa – Europa Sur Vein Zones
Europa Sur was not included in Minaurum’s initial resource (see news release dated January 28, 2026). Recent drilling at Europa Sur includes holes designed to intersect the upper 150–200 metres (from surface) of the structure.
Drill results to date from Europa Sur, including those in this news release, show significant potential for resource expansion outside of the central Europa vein zone (see news releases dated March 31, May 27, and July 8, 2026). Furthermore, the zone is distinct from the central part of the Europa zone for its locally higher grades of gold and copper (see news release dated May 27, 2026).
Several high-grade silver, gold and copper intercepts were returned in addition to the headline holes AL26-233 (0.40 m of 409 g/t Ag, 1.51 g/t Au, 1.27% Cu) and AL26-246 (0.30 m of 1,135 g/t Ag, 0.23 g/t Au, 2.26% Cu). AL26-253 intersected a 3.15 m interval of mineralization including 0.55 m of 298 g/t AgEq (185 g/t Ag, 0.02 g/t Au, 0.80% Cu, 0.82% Pb, 1.14% Zn). Hole AL26-232 intersected 1.80 m of mineralization which included 0.30 m of 341 g/t AgEq (261 g/t Ag, 0.01 g/t Au, 0.80% Cu, 0.31% Pb, 0.18% Zn) (Table 3, Figures 5 and 6).
Both are step-out holes approximately 80 m below and above, respectively, intersecting the pinch of the vein as indicated by the previously drilled higher grade intercept in hole AL26-225 returning 5.15 m of 392 g/t AgEq (198 g/t Ag, 0.27 g/t Au, 1.10% Cu, 1.69% Pb, 1.75% Zn) (see news release dated August 25, 2026).
Hole AL26-239 cut 2.70 m of 179 g/t AgEq (79 g/t Ag, 0.36 g/t Au, 0.27% Cu, 0.57% Pb, 1.40% Zn) including 0.30 m of 734 g/t AgEq (343 g/t Ag, 1.31 g/t Au, 1.58% Cu, 1.28% Pb, 4.80% Zn), demonstrating the potential for additional high-grade gold and copper.

The TSX Venture Exchange does not accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.
Data review and verification: Stephen R. Maynard, Vice President of Exploration of Minaurum and a Qualified Person (QP) as defined by National Instrument 43-101, reviewed and verified the assay data, and has approved the disclosure in this news release. Verification was done by visual inspection of core samples and comparison to assay results. Assay results have not been checked by re-analysis. No factors were identified that could materially affect the accuracy or reliability of the data presented in this news release.
Analytical Procedures and Quality Assurance/Quality Control: Preparation and assaying of drilling samples from Minaurum’s Alamos project are done with strict adherence to a Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) protocol. Core samples are sawed in half and then bagged in a secure facility near the site and then shipped either by a licensed courier by Company personnel to ALS Minerals’ preparation facility in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. ALS prepares the samples, crushing them to 70% less than 2mm, splitting off 250g, and pulverizing the split to more than 85% passing 75 microns. The resulting sample pulps are prepared in Hermosillo and then shipped to Vancouver for chemical analysis by ALS Minerals. In Vancouver, the pulps are analyzed for gold by fire assay and ICP/AES on a 30-gram charge. In addition, analyses are done for silver, copper, lead, and zinc using 4-acid digestion and ICP analysis. Samples with silver values greater than 100 g/t; and copper, lead, or zinc values greater than 10,000 ppm (1%) are re-analyzed using 4-acid digestion and atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS).
Quality-control (QC) samples are inserted in the sample stream every 20 samples on average, and thus represent 5% of the total samples. QC samples include standards, blanks, and duplicate samples. Standards are pulps that have been prepared by a third-party laboratory; they have gold, silver, and base-metal values that are established by an extensive analytical process in which several commercial labs (including ALS Minerals) participate. Standards test the calibration of the analytical equipment. Blanks are rock material known from prior sampling to contain less than 0.005 ppm gold; they test the sample preparation procedure for cross-sample contamination. In the case of duplicates, the sample interval is cut in half and then quartered. The first quarter is the original sample, the second becomes the duplicate. Duplicate samples provide a test of the reproducibility of assays in the same drilled interval. When final assays are received, QC sample results are inspected for deviation from accepted values. To date, QC sample analytical results have fallen in acceptable ranges on the Alamos project.
