Calgary, May 31, 2022 - Aurwest Resources Corp. (CSE: AWR) ("Aurwest" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has filed its first quarter March 31, 2022 financial statements ("Financial Statements"), management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A"), and annual certifications for the three month period ended March 31, 2022.
Colin Christensen, the Company's President & Chief Executive Officer stated, "Aurwest is currently in the process of expanding the drilling footprint in our extensive property land position in Central Newfoundland. This is the first drilling that has ever been initiated in the area and we're looking forward to moving all aspects of our exploration activity through 2022. We've completed Phase 1 of our drilling program which included eleven holes (2,746m) and have announced initial drill assay results from holes one through three (see May 27 2022 news release). Aurwest is expecting additional assay results over the next couple of weeks, which will include hole 7 which encountered visible gold. The initiation of our next Phase 2 of drilling and field exploration activity for 2022 will commence mobilization shortly."
FIRST QUARTER MARCH 31, 2022 OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS
-
Working capital was $1.7 million for the first quarter ending March 31, 2022, which fully funds our 2022 exploration programs.
-
On January 6, 2022 the Company announced it had received drilling permits from the Newfoundland government for its drill program including 10,000m with up to 30 holes.
-
On January 26, 2022 the Company announced its maiden Phase 1 drill program at Paradise Lake including approximately 3,000m. These holes were drilled to be approximately 250-300m each in length. A facility was previously leased in Grand Falls to store, log and cut core samples for shipment to the Bureau Veritas assay lab in Vancouver.
-
During the quarter the Company announced surface sample assay results yielding 144.7 g/t. This sample was located along the same interpreted structure where earlier samples had returned gold concentrations of 11.3 g/t and 14.2 g/t in quartz vein material, and extended the strike length by approximately 400m along the Twin Pond area, within the 5.5km targeted corridor associated with the Cape Ray-Valentine Lake Structural Zone (see news release dated February 28, 2022).
-
The Phase 1 drill program was ultimately suspended due to spring breakup weather conditions. A total of eleven holes had been completed in 2,746m, and we are now awaiting further assay results.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company announced the assay results from the first three drillholes, with PL-22-01 intersecting 2.50 g/t Au over 3.4 meters, including 6.20 g/t Au over 0.9 meters.
