New Inversion Data Reveals Six Anomalies at Aurania's Awacha Target
Aurania Resources (OTCQB: AUIAF) has reported significant findings from reprocessed Mobile MagnetoTellurics (MobileMT) data at its Awacha porphyry copper target in Ecuador. Using advanced 2D inversion technology, the company has identified six highly conductive anomalies that could indicate potential porphyry copper deposits.
The anomalies, detected approximately 250 meters below surface, exhibit deep roots and are associated with conductive sulphide minerals and porphyry-related alteration. The company has engaged porphyry copper expert Dr. Steve Garwin to review the Anaconda mapping data and provide recommendations for the most promising targets in the coming weeks.
Aurania Resources (OTCQB: AUIAF) ha riportato risultati significativi derivanti dalla rielaborazione dei dati Mobile MagnetoTellurics (MobileMT) presso il suo obiettivo di rame porfirico Awacha in Ecuador. Utilizzando una tecnologia avanzata di inversione 2D, l'azienda ha identificato sei anomalie altamente conduttive che potrebbero indicare la presenza di depositi di rame porfirico.
Le anomalie, rilevate a circa 250 metri di profondità, mostrano radici profonde e sono associate a minerali solfuri conduttivi e alterazioni legate ai porfiri. L'azienda ha coinvolto l'esperto di rame porfirico Dr. Steve Garwin per esaminare i dati di mappatura Anaconda e fornire raccomandazioni sui target più promettenti nelle prossime settimane.

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 27, 2025) - Aurania Resources Ltd. (TSXV: ARU) (OTCQB: AUIAF) (FSE: 20Q) ("Aurania" or the "Company") reports that reprocessing Mobile MagnetoTellurics (MobileMT) data from the Company's Awacha porphyry copper target in Ecuador using the latest 2D inversion technology has revealed six highly conductive anomalies.
In 2021, Aurania contracted Expert Geophysics Surveys Inc. to conduct a MobileMT airborne survey over the Awacha porphyry copper target area. At that time, Electromagnetic (EM) data inversion was performed using a one-dimensional (1D) algorithm. In recent years, EM inversion technology has significantly improved, particularly for areas with rugged terrain. As a result, Aurania recommissioned Expert Geophysics Surveys Inc. to reprocess the existing MobileMT data using the latest 2D inversion technology. The 2.5D code applied is more objective and comprehensive than the previous 1D technology, as it takes into account the actual topography of the area being investigated, yielding robust lateral and vertical resolution, resulting in more accurate mapping of the subsurface conductivity.
The new inversion data has confirmed the presence of six high-conductivity anomalies as shown in Figure 1. These conductive anomalies typically begin 250 metres from the surface and exhibit deep roots as seen in Figure 2. These anomalies are significant since zones of elevated conductivity often correlate with porphyry copper deposits due to the presence of electrically conductive sulphide minerals (pyrite, chalcopyrite and bornite) and porphyry-related alteration (phyllic and argillic zones).
The new MobileMT 2.5D inversion results will be integrated with data and field observations from the Anaconda mapping program that was completed at Awacha in 2024. Aurania has engaged porphyry copper expert, Dr. Steve Garwin, a Senior Technical Advisor (see press release dated April 19, 2022), to review the Anaconda mapping data to identify the most promising porphyry targets at the Awacha area. Dr. Garwin's report and recommendations are expected in the coming weeks.
