Aurora Energy Metals Limited provided the following update on its recently commenced Phase 1 drilling program at the Company's 100%-owned Aurora Energy Metals Project in Oregon, USA. The Phase 1 Drilling Program at the Company's Aurora Energy Metals Project commenced in the third week of October. The Phase 1 Program, which is targeting both uranium and lithium mineralisation, was originally planned to be exclusively an RC Program due to the unavailability of diamond drill rigs.

However, the Company maintained a watching brief for diamond drill rigs potentially becoming available to drill at short notice and a diamond rig has now been mobilised to site to accelerate the drill program.
