Aurania Resources confirms high-grade copper and silver at the prospective Tsenken target of its Lost Cities-Cutucu project

Aurania Resources Ltd (CVE:ARU) (OTCQB:AUIAF) said Thursday it has confirmed extensive high-grade copper and silver in the Tsenken area of its Lost Cities-Cutucu project. The Toronto-based explorer revealed the news from its Tsenken B target area, which it plans to drill “as soon as possible,” according to the company’s CEO Keith Barron. The results extend from the mineralized fault breccia at the Tsenken A target around six kilometres to the north, Aurania said.

Tseken B contains sedimentary-hosted copper-silver mineralization in outcrop and boulders in carbon-bearing layers. Rock samples from the target were crushed in Ecuador and analyzed by a Vancouver-based laboratory. The junior explorer said it plans to initiate field mapping and soil sampling at Tsenken B, as well as Tsenken A, to define drill targets.
