Aurania Develops New Copper-Silver Exploration Concept
(PresseBox) - Aurania Resources Ltd. (TSXV: ARU) (OTCQB: AUIAF) (Frankfurt: 20Q) (?Aurania? or the ?Company? - https://www.commodity-tv.net/c/search_adv/?v=298881) announces that the Company has reassessed the exploration model for the discovered copper-silver mineralization on the Lost Cities-Cutucu Project (?Project?) in Ecuador in light of new observations from the field.
The sedimentary-hosted copper-silver mineralization found to date by Aurania is regional in nature and stratigraphically confined to key horizons of carbon-bearing sediments that have been verified in outcrop to extend for a minimum of 22 km (open along strike) across the Project area.
Aurania?s Chairman and CEO, Dr. Keith Barron commented, ?In October of last year our geologists, tasked to carrying out rather routine stream sediment collection, started to bring an extraordinary array of copper-mineralized large boulders and slabs in from the jungle.owever, the copper minerals were hosted exclusively in well-bedded siltstone, mudstone, sandstone and shale, particularly in pieces showing abundant carbonaceous plant fragments, and not in porphyry.?
?Our geologists, together with our President, Dr. Richard Spencer, traced these boulders back to outcrops, over what is now a strike length of 22 km.d by KGHM in Poland.?
Exploration Concept
The general model for mineralization in the Kupferschiefer and the Central African Copperbelt of Zambia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo is that copper leached from the sedimentary basin remains in solution because of the oxidised state of the red sandstones (?red-beds?).tact with reduced sedimentary layers, such as carbon-bearing black shale or limestone, the copper precipitates.
The Jurassic basin in southeastern Ecuador has an additional positive component: magnetic data from the geophysics survey that Aurania flew over its Lost Cities ? Cutucu Project in southeastern Ecuador identified a number of magnetic centres that are interpreted as porphyries or porphyry clusters.s would be related to a late Jurassic island arc superimposed on the mid-Jurassic rift basin in which the red-beds accumulated.
To date, copper-silver mineralization has been found both in float boulders and in outcrop on the surface.

Epithermal gold-silver targets and search for the ?Lost Cities?
It is not the intention of the Company to abandon its original exploration ideas in favour of sedimentary copper and silver exploration.
