ST. JOHNS, NL, Aug. 30, 2021 /CNW/ - Aurion Resources
Ltd. (TSXV: AU) (OTCQX: AIRRF) ("Aurion" or the
"Company") announces the restart of diamond core drilling on
its wholly owned Risti and Launi Properties in the Central Lapland
Greenstone Belt in northern Finland.
Commencement of diamond core drilling program
Drilling
has resumed on Aurion's wholly owned properties, following a
seasonal summer break in Finland.
For the second half of 2021, the drill program is designed to test
the continuity of the mineralized zones at the NW and Gap Zone
targets as well as following up on the recently identified zones of
gold mineralization in gabbro and other lithologies at the
Aamurusko discovery. Drilling is also planned to test several
regional targets within the Risti and Launi Properties. The program
is a continuation of the 10,000-metre drill program announced in
April of this year.
Other exploration activities
Aurion is also planning
to recommence its property-wide base of till sampling program. An
update on the till and base of till program performed during the
first half of 2021 is expected to be released in the coming
weeks.
The Company has recently completed a drone magnetic survey
covering the western part of the Risti Property. The survey is
expected to provide high quality data sets to support the
interpretation of lithologies and structures on an unexplored part
of the Risti Property.
Comments
"Aurion looks forward to an active second
half of 2021." commented Matti
Talikka, Aurion's CEO. "Drill programs will be aimed at
expanding the footprint of our ongoing discoveries as well as
testing selected regional targets in search of new discoveries. We
will also continue generative activities within the highly
prospective, unexplored parts of the Risti and Launi
Properties."
