Minaurum Drills High-Grade Silver on the Europa Sur Vein Zone at the Alamos Silver Project: 3.20 m of 882 g/t AgEq and 6.20 m of 374 g/t AgEq

Minaurum Silver Drills High-Grade Europa Sur Vein Zone as Resource Expansion Continues

Executive Summary
  • Event: Drill results release from Phase II 50,000-metre resource expansion program at Alamos Silver Project.
  • Key Intercepts: Hole AL26-196 returned 3.20 m of 882 g/t AgEq including a high-grade sub-intercept of 0.95 m @ 2,423 g/t AgEq.
  • Location: Europa Sur Vein Zone, southern extension.
  • Context: Results reinforce potential for resource growth and suggest a possible feeder structure or hot spot due to elevated gold and copper values alongside silver.
  • Program Status: Six drill rigs operating; results will feed into an updated mineral resource estimate expected in the second half of 2026.
  • Assumptions: AgEq calculated using October 1, 2025 CIBC commodity price forecasts (Ag $29.73/oz).
Material Impact
  • Expectation vs. Reality: The high-grade intercepts are consistent with previous results from the Europa Sur and Quintera zones announced in February and March 2026. While the grades are exceptional, they do not represent a fundamentally new discovery outside of the known vein system.
  • Market Reaction Context: The stock has declined approximately 40% from its January 2026 peak ($0.60) to current levels ($0.37), despite previous positive resource announcements in January and February. This suggests the market may have already priced in the Phase II program or is concerned about dilution and execution timelines.
  • Materiality: The news is incremental rather than transformative. It validates the ongoing drill program but does not announce a new resource estimate or production timeline change. Therefore, it is classified as Routine - Positive rather than Material - Positive.
  • Catalyst Potential: While positive, the lack of an immediate resource update (expected H2 2026) limits the upside potential in the short term compared to a maiden resource announcement.
