Aurania provides update on activities and grants stock options in lieu of fees to directors

(PresseBox) (Toronto, Ontario, )
Aurania Resources Ltd. (TSXV: ARU) (OTCQB: AUIAF) (Frankfurt: 20Q) (“Aurania” or the “Company”) - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/aurania-resources-ltd/ - provides an update on the Company’s activities and announces that its directors received their quarterly director fees in the form of stock options in lieu of cash for the period ended September 30th.

Ecuador

At the Company’s Kuri-Yawi gold target, preparation is underway for an induced polarization (IP) geophysical survey.  The geophysical company has been selected and the survey is expected to commence in the latter half of October.  The survey should take approximately one month to complete after which data review will commence.  The purpose of the survey is to identify drill targets at Kuri-Yawi.

The Anaconda mapping program at the Company’s Awacha porphyry copper target area is now complete. This was a necessary step to start the interpretation of the data to define the targets for future drill campaigns at Awacha. During this field program, new intrusive outcrops with typical porphyry alteration were found, some of them showing quartz veins with the presence of pyrite, chalcopyrite and covellite. A team of geologists will work on analyzing and interpreting the data from the Anaconda mapping program.

Aurania’s Community Social Responsibility (CSR) team continues to work with local communities in Ecuador to advance various social programs and initiatives within the areas of the Company’s key targets, strengthening the bonds with the communities.  Most recently, our team along with the Step Forward Foundation celebrated the opening of a new school in the community of Chikichikentsa near the Company’s Awacha porphyry copper target.  Aurania’s CEO & President, Dr. Keith Barron was there for the ribbon cutting ceremony.  Aurania would like to thank everyone involved in this very important project.

France

The Company applied for a 51km2 exploration permit immediately in the vicinity of a major shear zone called South Armorican Shear (cisaillement sud-armoricain) in the Brittany Peninsula of northwestern France through a wholly owned French subsidiary. The concession area has historically been the site of significant high-grade gold finds. Placer gold in streams is present in the vicinity of the area.  Aurania’s geologists have visited the area and found numerous blocks of quartz and evidence of past mining activity. The Swiss challenge and the first public consultation phases planned in the permit application process have now been completed.  The permit applications are progressing, and further updates will be provided as information becomes available.
