Aurion Options Lavington Gold Property to Asher Resources

24.10.2011  |  Marketwired
ST. JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND -- (Marketwire - Oct. 24, 2011) - Aurion Resources Ltd. (“Aurion“) (TSX VENTURE: AU) is pleased to report that it has signed a Definitive Option Agreement with Asher Resources Corp (“Asher“) giving Asher the option to earn up to a 100% interest, subject to certain royalties, in Aurion's 100% owned 1154 hectare (“ha“) Lavington Gold property (“property“) located near Vernon, British Columbia.


Option Agreement

Pursuant to the Option Agreement, Asher can earn up to a 100% interest in the Lavington property, by paying $165,000 cash and issuing 262,500 shares (including paying $25,000 on signing and $15,000 and issuing 62,500 shares upon exchange approval) over 3 years and incurring a minimum of $200,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property by the second anniversary of Exchange Approval. Aurion and the underlying owner of the Property (an arm's-length party) have each retained two percent (2%) net smelter return royalties, half of which may be purchased by Asher paying $1,000,000 to each of Aurion and the underlying owner ($2,000,000 in total) within the time allowed.

Asher is also required to maintain the property in good standing and assume the payment obligations to the underlying property owner during the currency of the agreement.

Asher intends to use the property as it's Qualifying Transaction as per TSX Venture Exchange Policy 2.4 for Capital Pool Companies. This agreement is subject to exchange approval.


Lavington Property

The Lavington property comprises four mineral claims covering 1156 ha located approximately 10 km east of Vernon, in southern BC. The property can be accessed via paved highway and all-weather secondary gravel roads. The primary target on the property is an alteration zone over 1500 m long and up to 400 m wide comprising intensely altered quartz-pyrite-sericite schist. A major Au (+ As, Sb, Ag, W, Zn, Pb) soil anomaly, which exceeds 2 km in length, correlates strongly with this unit. The Lavington property exhibits many of the characteristics of a transitional porphyry-epithermal Au-Ag (+Cu, As, Sb) system. The Spanish Mountain deposit may be considered an analogue to the Lavington prospect.

Drilling by BP in the late 1980's showed elevated gold values within the sericite schist, including 0.31 g/t Au over 125 m in one drill hole (incl. 0.5 g/t Au over 34 metres). This interval included 2.0 m which assayed 2.5 g/t Au, 3.8 g/t Ag and 0.15% Cu. BP completed 8 drillholes but no detailed geological mapping or geophysics was conducted at the time. The property was subsequently acquired by the underlying property vendors, Cazador Resources (Adam Travis) who optioned it to Aurion in fall 2009.

Work by Aurion in fall 2009, including a 15.6 km IP geophysical survey and the collection of 193 b-horizon soils, outlined a moderate chargeability and low resistivity anomaly, a Au-in-soil geochemical anomaly with soil values up to 440 ppb Au, both coincident with the alteration zone.
