Aurion Resources announced the discovery of a new zone of gold mineralization several kilometers south of the previous Helmi discovery, returning 1.33g/t Au over 8.3m in drill hole VUO23007. Notably, the new mineralization (“Vuoma”) was discovered by drill testing the less explored southern contact of the Kumpu basin that is known to host gold mineralization (e.g. Helmi) along its northern boundary.
Drilling further resulted in the extension of mineralization at the Helmi discovery as well as in the identification of new mineralized zones south of the Kutuvuoma prospect, returning e.g. 1.43g/t Au over 10.45m.
For the second half of 2023, the B2 Gold – Aurion JV aims to drill a total of 4500m, following up on newly identified mineralized zones and testing additional targets.
