Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 28, 2018) - Minaurum Gold Inc. (TSXV: MGG), ("Minaurum") is pleased to
announce that it has acquired the 10,159-ha La Quintera 3 claim and the 400-ha Yoreme claim, expanding its Alamos Silver Project in
Mexico to 16,134-has. Initial mapping and sampling has revealed three vein systems on the Yoreme claim measuring between 900 m to
1800 m long. Vein sampling has returned grades ranging from anomalous up to 250 g/t Ag, 1.29% Cu, 4.74% Pb, and 1.99% Zn.
"With the newly found Yoreme veins, we have outlined a vein
swarm of 12 prominent and separate veins within an overall corridor measuring
10 km long and 2.7 km wide at Alamos," stated Darrell Rader, President
and CEO of Minaurum. "The new claims not only triple the size of our
holdings but also ensure that we control the strike of all known veins, greatly
expanding the impressive untested exploration potential at Alamos."
YOREME CLAIM
Three principal northeast-striking, steeply northwest-dipping veins crop out in the Yoreme concession. Taken together, the veins
have a combined strike length of more than 4.3 km. Surface rock sample assay values for silver, zinc and lead are shown in Figures
1-3 and listed in Table 1.
San Manuel Vein
The San Manuel vein averages 1 m wide on surface and has been traced for 1.1 km. Old workings on it include two shallow shafts
and a bulldozer cut. Two 1-meter chip samples at San Manuel returned 250 g/t Ag and 99 g/t Ag.
El Crestón Vein
The 1.8 km-long El Crestón vein is cut by several NW-trending left-lateral faults with offsets of 10-20 metres. There is a small
historic shaft on the vein where a dump sample assayed 19.8 g/t Ag and 1.52% Pb. A 2.0-m chip sample of the vein assayed 50.5 g/t
Ag, 4.74% Pb, and 1.47% Zn.
Carrera Vein
The 900 m-long Carrera vein measures up to 2 m in outcrop width and is only lightly prospected. Limited exploration on the vein
returned a 0.3-m chip sample grading 14.7 g/t Ag and 1.78% Pb. Chip samples up to 2.0 m in length assayed between 0.10% and 1.29%
Cu.

Stephen R. Maynard, Vice President of Exploration of Minaurum and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument
43-101, reviewed and verified the assay data, and has approved the disclosure in this News Release.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements: Certain disclosures in this release 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. 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.
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.
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 by a licensed courier 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 50-gram charge. In addition, analyses are done for a 48-element suite 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, 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.
