Aurion Resources reported further gold mineralization from drilling at the Helmi discovery, advanced by JV partner and operator B2-Gold. Among the assay results from the final holes of the 2021 winter drilling campaign, drill hole IKK22034 intersected 1.46g/t Au over 33m and 2.11g/t Au over 21.70m.
In addition, scout drilling to the northwest of Helmi intersected several new zones of gold mineralization, returning e.g. 2m @ 5.7g/t Au in hole KUE22017 and 5.2m @ 1.64g/t Au in hole KUE22013.
Following the recent exploration success, the JV has increased its 2022 exploration budget to 13.5 Mio CAD, including 17000m of drilling, with a summer drilling program currently ongoing.
