Higo Blanco Project, Oaxaca, Mexico
- The Higo Blanco project is a large, high-level epithermal vein and replacement system emplaced in limestone and volcanic rocks;
- Robust, but poorly delineated, silver mineralization and broad zones of low-grade gold (0.5 to 1.0 g/t) mineralization that are
mutually exclusive but spatially proximal; - Chargeability highs coincident with identified gold – arsenic anomalies;
- Drilling in 2009 and 2011 encountered significant mineralization:
HBET03 – 34.2m @ 211.7 g/t Ag
HBET02 – 20.35m @ 0.625 g/t Au
HBET16 – 36.6m @ 292.3 g/t Ag
HBET11 – 20.85m @ 0.6 g/t Au
HBET23 – 24.6m @ 186.92 g/t Ag
HBET27 – 25.3m @ 0.796 g/t Au
Geological Model
Greyhound Project, Nunavut
(Gold 79/Agnico Eagle JV)
- Initial project claims were staked to cover historical silver prospects assaying from 1,480 to 3,080 g/t Ag; subsequent rock samples range as high as 28.2 g/t Au and 5,380 g/t Ag;
- The project is now a joint venture with Agnico Eagle as operator who, in conjunction with Aura’s Director Dr. James M. Franklin, have identified several outstanding gold targets;
- Owing to COVID19, drilling of the most prospective Au and VMS targets has been postponed until early- to mid-2021; and
- Aura currently holds a 37.1% interest in the Greyhound project.
