The discovery is located at the Northwest Gossan (NWG) target area, at the end of a possible 15-km mineralized trend. The first hole (JP24057) returned high grades of gold in combination with strong copper and silver values: 1.24 g/t gold, 0.38% copper and 2.47 g/t silver from 18 metres.
Days after the initial discovery, Amarc released more results from AuRORA to confirm its high-grade nature, including 2.40 g/t gold, 0.61% copper and 5.33 g/t silver from 74 metres from hole JP24060.
At the presentation Amarc technical advisor Mark Rebagliati specified that the mineralization is both “clean” and “well-behaved”, similar to the prominent systems found within BC’s Toodoggone region.
The Amarc team also noted that the mineralization at AuRORA showed lateral and vertical continuity, all in a deposit that is near surface.
