[ACCESSWIRE]
Minaurum Gold Inc. ("Minaurum") is pleased to report that
Ocean Park Ventures Corp ("Ocean Park") 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.

"We are very pleased with these first results from Ocean Park's
initial drill program at Adelita and look forward to reporting more
results from the expanding Cerro Grande discovery and the as-yet
untested Mezquital porphyry target as Ocean Park's exploration program
continues," commented Darrell Rader, President and CEO of
Minaurum.
The Adelita project hosts two main mineralized targets, the Cerro
Grande copper-gold-silver skarn, and the Mezquital
copper-gold-silver-molybdenum porphyry target. Ongoing Phase 1
drilling is currently testing the Mezquital porphyry target located
1.5 kilometres west of the Cerro Grande skarn. The Mezquital target is
marked by a 3.5 square kilometre copper-molybdenum +/- gold-silver
soil anomaly overlying a multi-phase intrusive body. The soil anomaly
coincides with geophysical signatures including high chargeability IP
and magnetic anomalies. Geologic mapping has identified
propylitically altered intrusive rocks and copper mineralized
quartz-tourmaline veins and stockwork veining across two kilometres of
strike.
Minaurum has not reviewed the technical information and new data in
Ocean Park's May 3, 2012 news release. Ocean Park reports that its
exploration efforts are being conducted under the direct supervision
of Chris Taylor, M.Sc. P.Geo, Ocean Park's Vice President of
Exploration, and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Mr.
Taylor supervised the preparation of the above information.
Minaurum Gold is an exploration company focusing on gold- and
silver-dominant projects in Mexico that have
"district-scale" exploration potential. Minaurum is
currently focusing its exploration efforts in and near the 15
million-ounce Guerrero Gold Belt. Drilling will start during the
first week of May at its Corazonada silver-zinc skarn project in
Morelos state. Drill targets are being identified at its Vuelcos del
Destino gold-skarn project on the Guerrero Gold Belt trend, with a
view toward drilling during the second half of 2012. For more

Forward Looking Statement: Some of the statements contained in this
press release are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are not historical facts and are subject to a number of
risks and uncertainties beyond the Company's control, including, but
not exclusively, statements regarding potential mineralization,
exploration results, completion of work program and studies, and
future plans and objectives of the Company. Resource exploration,
development and operations are highly speculative, characterized by a
number of significant risks, which even a combination of careful
evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate, including,
among other things, unprofitable efforts resulting not only from the
failure to discover mineral resources but from finding mineral
deposits which, though present, are insufficient in quantity and
quality to return a profit from production.
