Auris (ASX:AUR) target priority gold in Bryah Basin

Auris Mineral’s detailed review of its database has identified three priority gold targets for follow-up exploration at its Morck Well and Doolgunna Projects in Western Australia’s Bryah Basin.

Data left by its former JV partner Sandfire Resources has highlighted intersections, including

Encouragingly,  over 400 metres of base metal mineralisation at McLean Well remain open along the strike and at depth.

“We are very excited by the quality targets identified from our review of the Morck Well database,” Auris Managing Director Mike Hendriks said.

“Our previous JV partner Sandfire Resources completed a tremendous amount of exploration across the Morck Well JV tenements; however, their primary focus was copper mineralisation.

“This has provided an exciting opportunity for our technical team to analyse the drilling data set following their withdrawal from the JV.

“It highlights three priority gold targets and a base metal target at McLean Well that warrant follow-up evaluation.

“It is our view that the Morck Well Project hosts some of the most gold prospective ground in the Bryah Basin, as demonstrated by several high-grade gold intersections in drilling completed by SFR, including 7 metres at 6.09g/t Au from 48 metres and 5 metres at 4.76gt/t gold from 70 metres.

“These high-quality intersections are yet to be followed up, and we are currently planning drill programs for each of the three newly defined target areas.”
