AURION PROVIDES AN EXPLORATION UPDATE ON ITS JOINT VENTURE WITH B2GOLD

Aurion Resources Ltd. has provided an update on the exploration activities by its joint venture partner, B2Gold Corp., on the joint venture property in the Central Lapland greenstone belt in northern Finland. 

5,000-metre diamond core drilling program commenced

A 5,000-metre diamond core drilling program has commenced within the Kutuvuoma-Ikkari corridor in the eastern part of the joint venture property. The drill program is designed to test geochemical and geophysical anomalies within a geologic setting that has been interpreted to extend eight kilometres between Kutuvuoma and Ikkari (Rupert Resources).

Key permits adjacent to Rupert Resources' Ikkari discovery granted

Exploration permits located adjacent to Rupert Resources' Ikkari discovery were granted in June, enabling commencement of exploration activities in these areas. 

Other activities -- geophysical survey, base-of-till sampling and trenching programs

A drone geophysical magnetic survey was carried out during the first half of 2021 and base-of-till sampling and trenching programs are continuing in the eastern part of the joint venture property. 

Comments

"The granting of key exploration permits is an important step and enables exploration activities to advance within the highly prospective geologic setting along the Kutuvuoma-Ikkari corridor that has already demonstrated the potential for the existence of significant gold deposits," commented Matti Talikka, Aurion's chief executive officer. "We're pleased to partner and co-operate with B2Gold on this very exciting JV property."
