Aurion Partner AuRico Launching a 5000 Metre-Drill Program at La Bandera

21.09.2011  |  Marketwired
ST. JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND -- (Marketwire - Sept. 21, 2011) - Aurion Resources Ltd. ("Aurion") (TSX VENTURE: AU) is pleased to report that it's partner AuRico Gold Inc ("AuRico") plans to begin a minimum 5000 metre drilling program on Aurion's La Bandera gold project in Durango, Mexico, this fall.

La Bandera is the subject of an option and joint venture agreement whereby AuRico can earn an initial 51% interest by completing $5 million in exploration expenditures over 36 months, including a firm commitment to spend a minimum $1 million in the first 12 months. AuRico can earn an additional 19% by completing a minimum $7 million in additional expenditures or by completing a positive feasibility study within 5 years of earning 51% and forming a Joint Venture with Aurion. AuRico is the operator of the project.

AuRico has advised Aurion that it intends to begin drilling by early Nov 2011, subject to receipt of necessary drill permits, to test a series of targets, both in the northern zone where locally high-grade gold occurs in stringers associated with a felsic dome complex, and in the south where the major La Bandera structure cuts through felsic tuffs and felsic dome margins. The geologic setting is considered favourable as the association of gold with dome structures is common in the gold-silver deposits of Durango.

Since finalizing the joint venture agreement in March 2011, AuRico, as project operator, has conducted detailed mapping, sampling and target definition over the property, and equally important, they have executed and registered surface access agreements with 4 Ejidos which cover most of the property. The rapid progress made with the Ejidos is a result of the good relations Aurion had established with the local communities, and to AuRico's strong community relations program in Mexico.

La Bandera comprises 20,827 hectares of mineral rights and is host to a more than 20 kilometre long, epithermal vein system which hosts widespread anomalous gold in quartz veins, breccias and stockworks within a 100 to 300 metre wide silicic and argillic alteration zone. The property has seen only cursory exploration in the past with 7 drill holes completed in the southern portion of the property by previous workers. Property highlights include the undrilled >2300 m long by >300 m wide northwest trending "Patorado" gold in soil and rock geochemical anomaly with individual soil samples assaying up to 2.06 g/t Au and individual quartz veinlets assaying up to 73.7 g/t Au. The "Ramona" zone, not previously drilled, is an east-west trending >250 m long by 100 m wide quartz stockwork vein system 1.5 km west of and striking into the Patarado anomaly. Previous trench chip-channel sampling by Aurion geologists returned assays of 2.5 g/t Au over 9 m and 3.3 g/t Au over 5 m and grab samples up to 35.1 g/t Au.
