Minaurum Gold (TSXV: MGG) more than doubled the size of its Alamos silver project<\/a> in Sonora, Mexico.<\/p>\n

In a press release issued this week, the Vancouver-based miner said that it staked an additional 20,872 hectares, which makes the project over 37,000 hectares big.<\/p>\n

Minaurum also announced that its ongoing district-scale reconnaissance mapping found four new vein zones, which were named Rosario, La Dura Oeste, La Dura and Tijera.<\/p>\n

“A total of 20 vein zones have now been recognized at the Alamos project. Systematic drilling of these veins continues with two rigs,” the media statement reads.<\/p>\n

A total of 20 vein zones have now been recognized at the Alamos project.<\/q><\/p>\n

According to the company’s president and CEO, Darrell Rader, the vein zones are hosted in a 10-kilometre long by 5.5-kilometre wide corridor and they represent silver-copper mineralization along NNE-striking structures.<\/p>\n

“The NW-SE-trending Rosario zone demonstrates potential for high-grade mineralization along a new structural direction,” Rader said.<\/p>\n

The executive also revealed that a grab sample from a small prospect pit dump at La Dura Oeste zone assayed 3.4% Cu and 30 g\/t Ag. A sample of float assayed 4.2% Pb and 37 g\/t Ag. At La Dura, a 0.5-m chip sample hosted in agglomeratic andesite assayed 123 g\/t Ag and 2.1% Cu.<\/p>\n

The Alamos silver project is located 8 kilometres west of the city of Alamos and 45 kilometres northwest of Pan American’s Alamo Dorado silver mine.<\/p>\n

Minaurum’s corporate information states that the site contains a wide, high-grade epithermal vein system which has historically produced approximately 200 Moz of silver. However, the project has never been systematically explored.<\/p>\n
