Minaurum Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MGG) ("Minaurum") is pleased to announce the
identification of two new targets at its 100%-controlled El Porfido
gold-skarn/porphyry project. The 4,666-hectare project lies within 90 kilometers
of the prolific Guerrero Gold Belt in the southwestern part of the Mexican state
of Puebla. The property was staked by David M. Jones, who was responsible for
the discovery of the Los Filos mine in the Guerrero Gold Belt, presently
operated by Goldcorp.


The targets are based on geologic mapping and sampling and anomalies identified
by an airborne VTEM/magnetic survey. The first target centres on a 2-km diameter
altered porphyry stock that shows iron-skarn alteration of the limestone and
gypsum wall rocks around its contacts. The second target is a WNW-ESE trending
zone of stockwork quartz veining and skarn alteration in limestone lying 4.5 km
south of the stock. The southern zone has an overall strike length of 7
kilometers. Both targets display geochemical anomalies associated with Guerrero
Gold Belt pathfinder elements, and associated magnetic anomalies.


"We are very pleased with the size and scope of the targets discovered by our
geological team. The geological similarities to the nearby major Guerrero Gold
Belt deposits are very encouraging," stated Darrell Rader, President and CEO of
Minaurum. "Bringing these targets forward to drill-readiness is one of the major
priorities of our 2013 Exploration Program."


The Porfido porphyry granite stock intrudes limestones of the Morelos Formation,
the same host rocks as the Guerrero Gold Belt, as well as tertiary gypsum of the
Cuayuca Formation. Hematite skarn is extensively developed in these wall rocks
at El Porfido. Minaurum's airborne VTEM/magnetic data shows a strong
northeast-southwest-trending magnetic high extending several hundred meters
beyond the stock's exposed contact. A lower-amplitude magnetic anomaly,
suggesting a magnetite-bearing intrusion, extends from a short distance south of
the stock outcrops for more than 5 km to the south-southeast and intersecting
the second target zone. These magnetic anomalies are similar to those associated
with several of the major Guerrero Gold Belt gold deposits.


Geological mapping and sampling has discovered several areas of stockwork quartz
veining and skarn alteration with anomalous pathfinder geochemical results.
Minaurum has collected 134 stream-sediment samples, 219 rock samples, and 67
soil samples within and around the target areas and many are strongly anomalous
in gold, silver, bismuth, arsenic, antimony, copper, molybdenum, zinc and
barium; the principal pathfinder elements for Guerrero Gold Belt deposits.


Stream-sediment samples show strong anomalies as high as 96 parts per billion
(ppb) gold and 4 parts per million (ppm) silver. Prior rock sampling reported
values as high as 1.82 ppm gold from quartz-pyrite-tourmaline breccia on the
stock's margin. Recent detailed sampling by Minaurum across the altered porphyry
stock shows consistently anomalous gold values (10-100's ppb) including up to
301 ppb.


Minaurum Gold is primarily focused on its projects in the Guerrero Gold Belt,
Mexico. Surface work continues at the Vuelcos del Destino, El Porfido, and
Jackie Projects. For more information, please visit our website at

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements: Certain disclosure in this
release, including statements regarding the drilling results and geological
interpretations and exploration plans for the Adelita project constitute
forward-looking information. In making the forward-looking statements in this
release, Minaurum has applied certain factors and assumptions that are based on
Minaurum' s current beliefs as well as assumptions made by and information
currently available to Minaurum, including that drilling results will be
received as expected, that financing will be available if and when needed on
reasonable terms, that supplies, equipment, personnel, permits and approvals
required to conduct Minaurum' s planned exploration activities will be available
on reasonable terms, that results of exploration activities will be consistent
with management's expectations and that Minaurum will not experience any
material accident, labour dispute, or failure of equipment. Although Minaurum
considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently
available to it, they may prove to be incorrect, and the forward-looking
statements in this release are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and
other factors that may cause future results to differ materially from those
expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Such risk factors may
include, among others, risk that drilling results will not be received as
expected, actual results of exploration activities will be different than
anticipated, that cost of labour, equipment or materials will increase more than
expected, risk of accidents, labour disputes and other risks generally
associated with mineral exploration and unanticipated delays in obtaining or
failure to obtain required approvals or financing. Readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Minaurum does not intend,
and expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to, update or revise any
forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise, except as required by law. Resource exploration, development and
operations are highly speculative, characterized by a number of significant
risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge
may not eliminate, including, among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting
not only from the failure to discover mineral resources but from finding mineral
deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and quality to
return a profit from production.
