Aurania Resources Ltd. intended to focus its 2024 exploration program on the Kuri-Yawi epithermal gold target area. Kuri-Yawi is considered a high priority target for further exploration and target refinement due to encouraging surface indications. During 2020 and 2021, nine scout holes were drilled to test the soil geochemistry anomalies along with a geophysical anomaly detected during the 2021 MobileMT survey.

The results at that time showed intense and pervasive hydrothermal clay mineral alteration (illite with areas of kaolinite) and silica-carbonate veinlets exhibiting epithermal textures which are encouraging features consistent with proximity to an epithermal system. A TerraSpect survey conducted in the field has shown the presence of typical epithermal alteration zonation coinciding with chalcedony veins and a low magnetic anomaly. A low magnetic anomaly can result from the demagnetization of the rock due to the hydrothermal alteration.

Many sinter boulders are present in the vicinity of the Kuri-Yawi area. The proposed exploration program and its timing is subject to the successful completion of the Offering.
