Comments

'Every one of the first five holes at the core of the Helmi Discovery have returned broad intervals of consistent gold mineralization indicating the existence of a mineralized system of scale. Eight of the first 13 holes over the extent of the Helmi Discovery intersected multiple zones of gold mineralization. Only six months after the first drill hole, the Helmi discovery is already showing potential to expand into an economic gold deposit at favorable pace and discovery costs as recently demonstrated by Rupert Resources' with their 3.95 Moz Ikkari Discovery,' commented Aurion CEO, Matti Talikka. 'On the back of the success in 2021, the JV is planning to increase the level of activities with a budget of CAN$10 million including approximately 12,000 m of drilling. Aurion is pleased to have retained a 30% ownership in the JV. Our strong working capital position enables us to maintain our proportionate share of the JV while continuing to advance our 100% owned properties.'
