In addition to the Copper Gold Porphyry Deposit, Valeriano also hosts the near surface Gold Oxide Deposit and the newly discovered GBV gold zone (July 6, 2021 ATEX press release).

Key Points: 
  • In addition to the Copper Gold Porphyry Deposit, Valeriano also hosts the near surface Gold Oxide Deposit and the newly discovered GBV gold zone (July 6, 2021 ATEX press release).
  • "This new area provides a significant exploration opportunity and, during the upcoming drill season, represents a high priority target for the expansion of the Valeriano Copper Gold Porphyry Deposit."
  • The relogging program developed the identification of six distinctive porphyry intrusives with five related to the development of the porphyry copper gold mineralization (VP1 to VP5) and one post mineral, dacitic intrusive that cuts all stages of mineralization: copper gold porphyry and gold oxide.
  • This evidence supports the interpretation that the Valeriano porphyry system may extend to the southwest of previous area of drilling and the copper gold mineralization may also occur closer surface in this unexplored area.

Key Points: 
  • Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - July 13, 2021) - Aurwest Resources Corporation (CSE: AWR) ("Aurwest" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of its 2021 exploration program on its Stellar porphyry copper/gold project (22,342 ha), located approximately 25 km southwest of Houston, British Columbia.
  • The program consists of a regional evaluation of the western portion of the project which is essentially unexplored and detailed exploration of the two porphyry targets.
  • The focus of the program is two porphyry copper targets, which contingent on results of the Induced Polarization survey could identify potential drilling targets.
  • The historical exploration indicates the mineralogy, styles of mineralization, alteration and intrusive activity over large areas indicative of a porphyry system, yet the data appears never to have been incorporated into a porphyry exploration model."

This environment indicates the presence of a large gold-copper porphyry system and the lower intersection in drill hole C21-02 indicates the potential for higher grade within the mineralized system.

Key Points: 
  • This environment indicates the presence of a large gold-copper porphyry system and the lower intersection in drill hole C21-02 indicates the potential for higher grade within the mineralized system.
  • All of the mineralized intercepts encountered on the Captain Project to date indicate that a gold enriched calc-alkaline porphyry system exists.
  • In terms of size, the outer phyllic alteration halo has been intersected in drilling over an area of 1.5 by 2 kilometres indicating the presence of a large hydrothermal fluid rich system.

Ongoing drilling highlights potential for primary Skarn-Porphyry deposit

Key Points: 
  • Completing these surveys is a major step forward in advancing the exploration and development of Jasperoide, and an exceptional opportunity for skarn, porphyry and epithermal style discoveries.
  • We will use the new magnetic, radiometric and IP surveys to refine drilling for a feeder porphyry and to identify associated stacked skarn horizons.
  • Surprisingly, airborne geophysics has never before been conducted at Jasperoide and we expect the surveys will provide a direct targeting tool for primary sulphide mineralization.
