VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 18, 2017) - Mundoro Capital Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MUN)(www.mundoro.com) ("Mundoro" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the start of the drilling program at the Tilva Rosh gold target on the Company's 100% owned Savinac license ("Savinac"). Savinac is one of the four exploration licenses located in the southern portion of the Timok Magmatic Complex in Serbia that are 100% controlled by Mundoro ("Timok South Projects" see Figure 1: Savinac License Location Map).
Teo Dechev, CEO and President of Mundoro commented, "The prior drilling results at Tilva Rosh successfully followed the surface trench results of high grade gold-silver mineralisation down dip along the structure. The current program aims at defining the extent of near surface mineralisation along a 400 meters strike length and up to 100 meters depth. To date the mineralisation is open to the north, south and at depth. Mundoro is focused on drill testing select target areas in the Timok South Projects in parallel to furthering the JOGMEC funded Timok North Projects programs. We believe this parallel strategy of testing and advancing assets, through either partnerships or our own treasury, provides continuous opportunities to shareholders for creating value."
TILVA ROSH GOLD TARGET
The current drill program at the Tilva Rosh gold target is designed to follow up on two key gold bearing features: (i) a mineralised gold bearing hydrothermal breccia structure containing significant gold grades and (ii) quartz veins that also host gold mineralisation which have been identified with prior trenching and drilling.
The 2017 drill program is budgeted for 1,500 meters of shallow drilling in 14 holes as shown in Figure 2: Tilva Rosh Drill Plan Map to test 400 meters along strike and up to 100 meters down dip extension.
Previous Work at Tilva Rosh
Mundoro conducted geochemical, mapping, trenching, and ground magnetic surveys over the Savinac license as well as compiling historic data, targeting epithermal and porphyry Cu-Au systems. This work outlined the Savinac mineralised belt (9 km by 2 km) which includes the Tilva Rosh epithermal system expressed on the surface with a large area of advanced argillic alteration covering 4 km by 1 km. Tilva Rosh was explored previously in the late 1970's and early 2000's but significant gold mineralisation and porphyry Cu-Au potential was identified by Mundoro's exploration in Q4-2013.
As part of the 2014 program, six inclined diamond drill holes totaling 917.8 m were drilled at the southern portion of Tilva Rosh system to test the down dip extent of the high-grade gold mineralisation, which was previously confirmed by trenching results of 12 m @ 33.03 g/t AuEq (30.39 g/t Au, 171.27 g/t Ag). Collar locations for the previously drilled holes are also shown in Figure 2: Tilva Rosh Drill Plan Map. The previous Tilva Rosh drilling program demonstrated continuation of surface mineralisation at dow-dip for a north-west striking hydrothermal breccia structure which hosts the high grade gold. Copper mineralisation was intersected at depth in four of the six drill holes drilling in 2014 as shown in Table 1 below and appears to be related to supergene enrichment. The Company believes copper was not present at surface due to the highly acidic nature of the lithocap in the area caused by the high pyrite content in the system. The eastern most drill holes, SAV02 and SAV05, intersected the highest lead-zinc contents (up to 2.2% Zn and 0.6% Pb) suggesting lateral zoning indicative of a porphyry style hydrothermal system.

Gold Equivalent ("AuEq.") is calculated using the formula AuEq = (g/t/Au) + (g/t/Ag) + ($/ozAu)/65 + [(%Cu) x (22.0462) x ($/lbCu)] ÷ [(1/31.1035) x ($/ozAu)].
Copper equivalent (CuEq%) is calculated using the formula CuEq = (%Cu) + [(g/t/AuEq) x (1/31.1035) x ($/ozAu)] ÷ [(22.0462) x ($/lbCu)].
Metal prices used are: gold price of US$1300/oz, copper price of US$3/lb, and silver price US$20/oz.
All thicknesses from intersections from drill holes are down-hole drilled thicknesses or outcrop sample length thickness. True widths cannot be determined from the information available.
Future Targets at Tilva Rosh
The initial drill results from Tilva Rosh are encouraging and are interpreted to be proximal to a Cu-Au porphyry system related to a large area of advanced argillic lithocaps to the north (approximately 500 meters), highlighted with a molybdenum anomaly and followed outwards to zones of lead-zinc. These are geochemical signatures of porphyry deposit footprints and where the Company believes there is good potential for further porphyry drill targets.
BORSKO DRILL PROGRAM UPDATE
The drill program at the Borsko license in Serbia, which is being sole funded by JOGMEC as part of the JOGMEC option announced in August 2016 ("Timok North Projects"), has completed to date a total of 3,123 meters of diamond drilling in three holes: BJ-06, BJ-07, BJ-08. Due to the extended drill campaign at Borsko, which began in February 2017 and was extended twice, the Company now expects the assay results from this drill program to be announced in June.
ANGEL DRILL PROGRAM UPDATE
The commencement of the drill program at the Angel Vyvoda ("Angel") gold target in the Zvezda license in southeastern Bulgaria has been moved back due to mechanical problems with the drilling equipment. The Company expects the drilling program to now commence around the end of May with assay results from the Angel drilling program expected in August.
The Angel drill program will test the large gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly that is also associated with the Au-Ag-Sb-As-Mo suit of elements (which indicate an epithermal environment that has the potential to host a mineralized system) seen in the geochemical survey that cover an area of a 2.7 km x 1.5 km and delineating at least three sets of E-W to NW-SE structures. For further information on the Angel drill program, please refer to our press release on September 16, 2014.
