Aurion Resources provided an update from its Helmi project, currently advanced together with JV partner B2 Gold. First assay results of the company’s winter drilling program returned 77.5m @ 2.05g/t Au, including 24.55m @ 4.18g/t Au in drill hole IKK22018 and 15.9m @ 1.42g/t Au in drill hole IKK22019. Both drill holes were scissor holes to previous drilling, targeting the mineralization at a better angle. According to the company, early information indicates mineralization from surface to at least 120m vertical depth, potentially controlled by a westerly plunging mineralized envelope.
The company notes that assay results from 26 of the 29 holes, targeting depth and strike extension of the Helmi Discovery, as well as new geophysical and geochemical targets, are pending. A preliminary budget set for 2022 includes approx. 12000m of drilling as well as additional geophysical surveying and base of till sampling.
