INTERVIEW SUMMARY - Minaurum Silver (MGG.v MMRGF) "Core Talk with Stephen Maynard, VP Exploration"

Posted on Behalf of Minaurum Silver Inc. - During PDAC 2026, Minaurum Silver (MGG.v MMRGF) VP Exploration, Steve Maynard, detailed the company's 2026 exploration plans for the Alamos Silver Project in Sonora, Mexico: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t6XSccslC0 

Notably, MGG's focus is on expanding the current resource and advancing the project toward economic studies.

Current Resource & Timeline

• January 2026 resource estimate: 55Moz silver equivalent.
• Goal is to expand the resource through an aggressive drilling program.
• Updated mineral resource expected in the second half of 2026.
• Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) targeted for the first half of 2027.

2026 Drill Program

• Six drill rigs currently operating on the project.
• More than 6,500 meters drilled so far in 2026.
• Total planned drilling for the year: approximately 50,000 meters.
• Program focuses on both step-out drilling and testing additional vein systems across the district.

Key Exploration Targets

• Europa vein zone: step-out drilling beyond the current resource boundary.
• Promontorio vein zone: expanding mineralization including areas richer in base metals.
• San Jose vein: follow-up drilling along a 2.5–3 km surface trend.
• Additional targets include Quinterra, Promontorio Sur, Cotera, and Minas Nuevas.

Notable Drill Results and Samples

• Europa step-out (Hole 163): roughly 10m true width grading about 1.4 kg/t silver with base metals (~1,984 g/t AgEq). Important because it shows granodiorite can host mineralization.
• Europa resource hole (Hole 135): more than 2 kg/t silver with 2.8% copper and strong lead-zinc values (~2.6 kg/t AgEq).
• Promontorio mineralization: massive sulfide material containing roughly 460 g/t silver, >15% lead, ~35% zinc, >1 g/t gold, and ~1% copper.
• San Jose vein (historic hole): 55 cm interval grading 668 g/t silver within complex brecciated veining.
• Minas Nuevas zone: 3m interval grading more than 2.3 kg/t silver with lower base metals.
• Cotera area: 30 cm interval grading ~2.3 kg/t silver with 6.5% copper (~3 kg/t AgEq).

Geological Insights

• Multiple mineralized vein systems across the district.
• Evidence of district-wide metal zonation:
  • Northern zones show stronger silver dominance.
  • Southern zones show higher lead and zinc content.
• Recent drilling indicates mineralization can occur in host rocks previously thought unfavorable.

Upcoming Catalysts

• Pending assays from early 2026 drilling including Hole 179.
• Ongoing drill updates throughout 2026.
• Updated resource estimate expected in H2 2026.

PEA targeted for H1 2027.
