Aurania Finds A New Epithermal Target And Reports On Soil Sample Results From Crunchy Hill
(PresseBox) - Aurania Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: ARU) (?Aurania? or the ?Company? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loQK2aflD3Q) is pleased to report that reconnaissance exploration crews have found silica blocks indicative of an entirely new epithermal system, the ?Charip? target, some 50 kilometres (30 miles) north of the Latorre area in its Lost Cities ? Cutucu Project (the ?Project?) in southeastern Ecuador.
Aurania?s Chairman and CEO, Dr. Keith Barron commented, ?We were convinced from the outset, that in addition to gold deposits associated with the two ?lost cities?, the Cutucu mountain range would reveal multiple additional gold and copper targets.
Charip Target
Chalcedonic silica blocks, with textures typical of modern-day geyser platforms, and a feature of the upper parts of epithermal mineralized systems, have been found by the Company?s reconnaissance exploration teams in an entirely new part of the Project.
Soil Geochemistry from Crunchy Hill
Results have recently been received from soil samples that were collected over a regular grid on the recently discovered Crunchy Hill target area, identified by vuggy silica in outcrop (see press release dated April 6, 2018).
Chemical analyses show a core area in which silver, volatile elements (naturally-occurring arsenic, antimony, selenium and mercury) and base metals (molybdenum and zinc), are concentrated (Figure 2). The low gold values in the soil results are consistent with textures in the silica found at surface at Crunchy Hill that suggest that the very top of the epithermal system is exposed.
Based on this success, the soil grid at Crunchy Hill has been extended to cover an area to the west in which vuggy silica, with cross-cutting veinlets of banded chalcedonic silica, have been discovered along a trend measuring approximately one kilometre in length.
Crunchy Hill is now one of the top targets for the initial scout-drilling program, planned for later this year.
Soil sampling has proven highly successful at refining these epithermal targets and as a result, soil sampling over the other targets in the 100 square kilometre Latorre area will start as soon as the soil sampling of the western extension of the Crunchy Hill target has been completed.

Forward-looking statements may be identified by such terms as "believes", "anticipates", "expects", "estimates", "may", "could", "would", "will", or "plan". Since forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Although these statements are based on information currently available to Aurania, Aurania provides no assurance that actual results will meet management''s expectations. Risks, uncertainties and other factors involved with forward-looking information could cause actual events, results, performance, prospects and opportunities to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. Forward-looking information in this news release includes, but is not limited to, Aurania''s corporate objectives, goals or future plans, statements, exploration results, potential mineralization, the corporation''s portfolio, treasury, management team and enhanced capital markets profile, the estimation of mineral resources, exploration and mine development plans, timing of the commencement of operations and estimates of market conditions. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, failure to identify mineral resources, failure to convert estimated mineral resources to reserves, the inability to complete a feasibility study which recommends a production decision, the preliminary nature of metallurgical test results, delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, regulatory, environmental or other project approvals, political risks, inability to fulfill the duty to accommodate certain indigenous peoples, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, changes in equity markets, inflation, changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the development of projects, capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates and the other risks involved in the mineral exploration and development industry, and those risks set out in Aurania''s public documents filed on SEDAR. Although Aurania believes that the assumptions and factors used in preparing the forward-looking information in this news release are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on such information, which only applies as of the date of this news release, and no assurance can be given that such events will occur in the disclosed time frames or at all.
