Minaurum Gold Inc. is pleased to report that Ocean Park Ventures Corp has released significant copper-gold-silver intercepts from the first two holes of their Phase 1 drilling program on Minaurum’s Adelita Project (see Ocean Park news release dated May 3, 2012). Ocean Park’s best hole (CGDD-12-009) cut 105.2 metres of 1.03% copper from 5.6 to 110.8 metres downhole, including 41.9 m of 2.21% copper, 0.93 g/t gold, and 77.5 g/t silver. Notably, this hole was lost in mineralization and assays are pending for the three subsequent holes drilled deeper in this area. The results extend the Cerro Grande zone to a strike length of 120 metres and to a depth of 300 metres from surface, with the discovery remaining open in all directions. Ocean Park can earn up to a 75% interest in the Adelita Project by completing and funding a feasibility study.
