Aurania provides update on drilling in Ecuador
Mobile MT Survey to Commence this Week
(PresseBox) - Aurania Resources Ltd. (TSXV: ARU) (OTCQB: AUIAF) (Frankfurt: 20Q) (?Aurania? or the ?Company? - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/aurania-resources-ltd/) reports that that no significant copper-gold mineralization was intersected in the first three bore holes drilled on periphery of the Tsenken iron oxide copper-gold (?IOCG?) system, as expected and discussed during Aurania?s conference call held on December 1, 2020 (replay available here).
The Mobile MT geophysical survey is scheduled to start by the end of the week and is planned to continue through to mid-January 2021.
Aurania?s Chairman & CEO, Dr. Keith Barron commented, ?Our exploration model developed from the drilling at Tsenken North had holes TS-001 to 003 located outside of the mineralized zone, so the assay results received come as no surprise (Figure 1).
Details of the Drilling
Three drill holes (TS001-TS003) were completed for a total of 645 metres (?m?) in the Tsenken N2 target area. d is planned to reach a depth of approximately 500m.
Mobile MT Geophysical Survey
The heliborne Mobile MT survey is scheduled to start later in the week and is designed to cover the following target areas:
Tsenken North IOCG target (N2, N3, N4 and N5).
The large magnetic feature at Tsenken Central, as well as the copper-silver ? mineralized Tsenken N1 breccia target ? these are believed to be part of a large IOCG system ? a different system from Tsenken North.
Yawi ? the target being epithermal and porphyry bodies.
Kirus porphyry or IOCG target.
Awacha porphyry cluster.
Sunka ? a new high-level IOCG target.
Tatasham ? Tiria ? Shimpia. Tatasham is the largest magnetic feature identified in the geophysical survey flown in 2017 and lies on the margin of the Tiria-Shimpia silver-zinc-lead target area.
The objective of the Mobile MT survey is to identify electrically conductive areas related to sulphides in the target area, as well as electrically resistive zones related with silica associated with epithermal systems.
Next Steps
Scout drill the copper-silver ? bearing breccia at Tsenken N1, part of the Tsenken Central IOCG system.
Prepare the first of the targets within the Tiria-Shimpia silver-zinc-lead system for scout drilling.
Integrate data from the Mobile MT survey with magnetic data from the 2017 geophysical survey to refine target areas.
Continue with reconnaissance exploration that resulted in the discovery of the Sunka IOCG prospect.

Forward looking information in this news release includes, but is not limited to Aurania?s 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, 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 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, the effects of COVID-19 on the business of the Company including but not limited to the effects of COVID-19 on the price of commodities, capital market conditions, restrictions on labour and international travel and supply chains, and those risks set out in Aurania?s public documents filed on SEDAR.
