Minaurum Gold Accelerates Drilling at Alamos Silver Project with Four Rigs Now Operating

Minaurum Gold Inc. has significantly ramped up exploration activities at its flagship Alamos Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico, mobilizing additional drilling rigs to expedite its path toward a maiden resource estimate. The company announced that four drill rigs are now actively operating at the site as part of an ongoing 10,000-metre infill drilling program.

Over 3,000 metres of drilling have already been completed in the current campaign, which focuses on several high-priority zones including Promontorio, Europa-Guadalupe, and Travesía. These areas have emerged as key targets based on previous geological assessments and are central to defining the property’s mineralization potential.

“With a robust treasury, the addition of key SilverCrest senior resource development experts, and the discovery of a stacked vein system at Promontorio, we are aggressively advancing exploration and fast-track drilling toward a maiden resource estimate at the Alamos Silver Project,” said Darrell Rader, President and CEO of Minaurum Gold. “We look forward to several project catalysts in the near term including drill results from the infill campaign.”

The doubling of drilling capacity marks a significant acceleration in the company’s exploration timeline. Infill drilling—which targets gaps between existing drill holes—is crucial for increasing geological confidence in known mineralized zones. The data generated will directly contribute to the project’s first resource estimate, though Minaurum has not specified when this milestone will be reached.

The Alamos Silver Project is strategically positioned in southern Sonora state, a region with a rich mining history and numerous active operations. Minaurum has conducted extensive preliminary work at the site over several years, including surface sampling and geophysical surveys, but the current program represents its most intensive exploration effort to date.

Mexico’s Sonora region ranks among the country’s most prolific mining jurisdictions, particularly for silver, copper, and gold deposits. The state has attracted significant investment from both domestic and international mining companies due to its favorable geology and established infrastructure. Alamos sits within a broader mineralized corridor that has yielded commercial operations in the past.

The timing of Minaurum’s expanded drilling initiative coincides with renewed global interest in silver exploration. The metal has seen strengthened demand from both traditional industrial applications and emerging green energy technologies, including solar panels and electric vehicles, which utilize silver for its exceptional conductivity properties.

For junior exploration companies like Minaurum Gold (TSXV: MGG) (OTCQX: MMRGF), establishing a maiden resource estimate represents a critical development milestone. Such reports typically classify mineral resources into measured, indicated, or inferred categories according to confidence levels, providing essential information for economic evaluations and future development planning.

The resource estimate, once completed, could serve as the foundation for more advanced economic studies such as a Preliminary Economic Assessment or Prefeasibility Study, though the company has not yet outlined plans beyond the current drilling program.

Industry analysts note that Minaurum’s accelerated approach suggests management confidence in the project’s potential. The company’s recent addition of senior resource development experts from SilverCrest—a successful silver producer in Mexico—further indicates a strategic shift toward resource definition and potential production planning.

Assay results from the current drilling program have not yet been released. These results, which require independent laboratory analysis, will provide crucial information about grades, widths, and continuity of mineralization in the targeted zones. Such data will ultimately determine the economic viability of any future mining operation at Alamos.

As Minaurum advances its Alamos Silver Project toward resource definition, investors and industry observers will be watching closely for upcoming drill results and progress updates on this emerging silver project in one of Mexico’s premier mining regions.
