Targeting Bonanza-Grade Gold-Silver Zones at Aura Project, Nevada

"Mobilization marks an exciting milestone for our 2025 program," said Darcy Marud, CEO and President. "We're targeting one of the most underexplored and historically high-grade areas on the property.

Groundwork has commenced including final preparation of drill platforms and clearing up access roads. Expectations are for drilling to commence in approximately 1 week.
The fully funded 4,000-meter diamond drill program will focus on extensions of historic high-grade gold-silver mineralization associated with the Tomasina Fault Zone, including areas down-dip of the past-producing Wood Gulch open pit.
