Mundoro Capital Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MUN) ( www.mundoro.com
) ("Mundoro" or the "Company") announces that it has received laboratory
results for the four diamond drill holes at the Company's Borsko Jezero license ("Borsko") for 3990 meters,
Figure 1: Plan Map of Drillhole Locations.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Drill holes 17-BJ-11 and 17-BJ-12 confirmed the extension of the advanced argillic alteration 250 m to the northeast and
100 m to the northwest, respectively, with two new epithermal gold-silver intersections:
- 1.04 g/t Au and 6.9 g/t Ag over 15 m in 17-BJ-11 (1.15 g/t AuEq)
- Including 2.1 g/t Au and 13.7 g/t Ag over 4 m (2.32 g/t AuEq)
- 0.77 g/t Au and 1.9 g/t Ag over 31.2 m in 17-BJ-12 (0.85 g/t AuEq)
- Including 1.8 g/t Au and 4.7 g/t Ag over 8 m (1.97 g/t AuEq)
- Both drill holes also demonstrated the epithermal alteration remains open in three directions: (i) along strike to the
northwest; (ii) down plunge to the northwest beyond the vertical depth of 1120 m as shown in Section B-B', and (iii) to
the northeast as shown in Section A-A'
Vectoring Towards High-Sulphidation Copper-Gold Ore Bodies
The opportunity for discovery appears to improve to the northwest and northeast along strike of the main fault zone as
identified in drill core and supported by a magnetic-low anomaly. Furthermore, it appears east-west striking faults
could also be displacing blocs of the alteration, which are also well documented in nearby Bor deposit (See Figure 1). The
creation and subsequent shifting of blocks of alteration suggests targeting should remain tightly spaced rather than large
step-out drilling which was attempted with two of the drill holes towards the south and the west.
Compilation of drill hole geology shows that hydrothermal alteration towards the south and west has been either offset or
cut-off at a distance of approximately 400 m. This is defined by drill hole 17-BJ-09 and 17-BJ-10 remaining in the cover
volcanic units and the appearance of native copper which is generally considered as distal to an epithermal system.
The 2017 drilling program discovered the alteration system and provides vectoring towards the northwest and northeast. The
Company is now evaluating structural analysis, data from the recently completed borehole electromagnetic survey and additional
geophysical techniques to assist in defining the next drill program to vector towards mineralization around Target 1 and test
further Targets in the Borsko license.

The results provided in the table above are early-stage and insufficient to establish a true thickness of the mineralized
zones. These intervals are provided as an illustration of specific environments encountered in the drilling program and do not
represent all the precious metal intervals from the drilling program. Additional drilling will be required to determine the
relevance of the widths of drill hole intervals reported here.
Borsko Jezero Copper-Gold-Silver Epithermal Project
Borsko is one of the four licenses being sole funded by JOGMEC as part of the JOGMEC-Mundoro option agreement announced in
August 2016. Borsko is located directly west of the Serbian state-operated producing mines, RTB Group's Borska Reka copper-gold
porphyry mine and the Veliki Krivelj copper-gold porphyry mine, all located in the central portion of the Timok Magmatic Complex
("Timok").
The Borsko license is located in the Timok Magmatic Complex which is one of the most prolific metallogenic domains in the
Tethyan Belt. The geological units in this licence area consist of Upper Cretaceous volcano-sedimentary successions,
predominantly andesite and pyroclastics. Target 1 at Borsko is approximately 4 km west of the Bor mine and approximately 7
km northwest of the Cukaru Peki deposit which are both documented to host high sulphidation systems. The interpretation of
Borsko geology along with models of known deposits in the district highlights the uppermost part of the lithocap, immediately
below the less-altered volcanic sequence, as the prime target for any high-sulphidation copper-gold orebodies of Bor (Tilva Rosh)
and Čukaru Peki type. Any such massive sulphide bodies are likely to lie within the footprint of the underlying porphyry
copper-gold centre.
The 2017 drilling at Borsko shows that an advanced argillic lithocap hosted in andesite underlies 550 m of weak-altered
agglomerate volcanic rocks, which were in existence at the time the advanced argillic alteration took place. The advanced
argillic altered andesites at Borsko are moderate to strong pyritized, with commonly exceeding 30% fine-grained sooty pyrite, and
alternates with pervasive silica, vuggy silica, alunite and hydrothermal breccias, all of which are common features for the
high-sulphidation epithermal systems.
Private Placement Update
Pursuant to its non-brokered private placement press release of November 30, 2017, Mundoro is pleased to announce that it has
received, at the same terms and conditions, additional subscriptions for 7,444,444 units for a total of $1,005,000, subject to
approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Each unit consists of one common share and one-half of a share purchase warrant, with
each full warrant exercisable to acquire a common share at a price of $0.20 for a term of three years. Closing is
anticipated to occur before December 31, 2017.
Qualified Person
Technical information contained in this Press Release has been reviewed and approved by Mr. G. Magaranov, P. Geo., Qualified
Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
Sampling and Analysis
Drill hole orientations were surveyed at approximately 30 metre intervals. Company personnel monitored the drilling, with
cores delivered daily to the Company's core storage facility in the town of Bor, where it was logged, cut and sampled. Core
recovery is recorded as 95-100% in most intervals, with the exception of the more intensely tectonized sections. The samples
were collected in accordance with the Company's protocols that are compatible with accepted industry procedures and best practice
standards. Most samples through the mineralized intervals were 1 metre in length, up to a maximum 2 metres. In sections of
poorly mineralized or unaltered and unmineralised rocks one 2m sample was collected at every 15 meters core. The samples were
submitted to ALS Laboratory in Bor, Serbia, for sample preparation and analysis. In addition to the laboratory's internal QA/QC
procedures, the Company conducted its own QA/QC with the systematic inclusion of certified reference materials every 20 samples,
blank samples every 20 samples and field duplicates at every 25 samples. Drill core samples are assayed using 50-grams
charge for fire assay with atomic absorption finish and multi-element method MS 61 by ALS laboratory.
