Calgary, January 26, 2022 - Aurwest Resources Corp. (CSE: AWR) ("Aurwest" or the "Company") is pleased to report that diamond drilling has commenced on a planned Phase 1 - 3,000-meter drill program at its flagship Paradise Lake gold project in Central Newfoundland. The first drill hole is located near Twin Pond, approximately 21 km south of Grand Falls, targeting a high priority gold anomaly from the recently completed IP survey.
Mr. Colin Christensen, stated, "We are extremely excited to have our maiden drill program underway. The 2021 exploration program located several leakage halos on surface carrying up to 14.2 g/t gold in this area. The drilling will target an area exhibiting post-Botwood intrusive activity, positive chargeability signatures and silicified areas with gold-pyrite mineralization on surface. The combination of these features represents priority drillings targets to test the down dip extensions of interpreted leakage halos originating from the Lawrenceton volcanics below the Botwood sediments."
The initial drilling program will focus on the Twin Ponds-Paradise Lake area where 2021 exploration located a 5kms long northeast trending positive chargeability anomaly; several late stage intrusives; and a magnetic low along an interpreted basement structure. Within this northeast trending area, surface exploration located numerous areas of quartz vein/breccias in outcrop/subcrop that returned up to 14.2 g/t gold. These areas also host pyrite-arsenopyrite bearing Botwood sediments interpreted to be the surface expression of late-stage re-activated faults along which hydrothermal fluids carrying gold and silica emanated upwards from the underlying Lawrenceton volcanics.
