Aurania advances Tiria-Shimpia silver-gold target towards drilling
(PresseBox) - Aurania Resources Ltd. (TSXV: ARU) (OTCQB: AUIAF) (Frankfurt: 20Q) (?Aurania? or the ?Company? - https://www.commodity-tv.com/...) reports that initial drill sites have been selected to test high-grade silver zones in the Tiria-Shimpia silver-gold target in the Company?s Lost Cities ? Cutucu Project (?Project?) in southeastern Ecuador.
Tiria-Shimpia is a large target area that is over 75 square kilometres in extent. The Company?s exploration efforts in this area have been guided by its similarity to the silver-zinc-lead deposits of the Colquijirca district in Peru that contains the Cerro de Pasco deposit that was mined for silver by the Colonial Spanish from the year 1630 ? and is still being mined today.
Aurania?s Chairman & CEO, Dr. Keith Barron commented, ?Intensive geological mapping in the region of Tiria-Shimpia as well as a compilation of the geological work of all the exploration teams along the 15 kilometre trend is indicating that the mineralization is not a simple vein system as previously thought, but is following both fault zones and the sedimentary layering of the host rock.MT over part of Tiria-Shimpia to test whether the geophysics detects pyrite associated with the silver-zinc-lead to assist us in selecting specific drill sites.?
Initial Drill Targets at Tiria-Shimpia
Outcrops in two streams 1.5 kilometres (?km?) apart on the northwestern margin of the Tiria-Shimpia target shown in Figure 1 contain high-grade silver: the one 356 grams per tonne (?g/t?) with 12.7% zinc (see press release dated September 9, 2019) and the other 199 g/t silver with 22% zinc (see press release dated September 25, 2020). soil continues well beyond the two outcrops, extending over an area 3 km long, in which scattered outcrops range in grade from 1.4 to 356g/t silver with 1 to 22% zinc.
The first video in a short series about Tiria-Shimpia, shows how basic geological information is used to approximate the shape of the target layers at depth. Click the link to watch the video: http://www.aurania.com/developing-drill-targets-at-tiria-shimpia/ .
Planned Work at Tiria-Shimpia
MobileMT geophysics has been flown over the northern part of the Tiria-Shimpia area to test the effectiveness of the method in identifying relatively flat layers of mineralization, such as those shown in Figure 2.
Integrate the geological profiles, such as those illustrated in Figure 2, with data from the MobileMT geophysical survey, to refine and define additional drill targets.
Transform the vertical geological profiles through the Tiria-Shimpia target into an integrated 3D geological model that incorporates the MobileMT data.

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.
