Auris Minerals (AUR) is gearing up to commence a drilling program at its Feather Cap Gold Project, located in the Bryah Basin, Western Australia.

A drill rig has arrived on site for the program, which includes four holes for 720 metres targeting the Durack East prospect.

Drilling aims to further evaluate high-grade gold mineralisation received from the previous air core drilling.

“We are pleased to have secured an reverse circulation rig to allow our team to further evaluate two significant high grade gold results from our recently completed
air-core drill programme at Feather Cap,” Managing Director Mike Hendricks said.

Additionally, once it receives a heritage clearance, the company will also undertake an infill air core drilling program. This work will provide further knowledge of the Feather Cap and Durack East prospect.

“This work will assist with ongoing interpretation of the Feather Cap–Durack East prospect as we continue to prove up our theory of the potential for a much larger mineralised strike of 6.2 kilometres gold system being hosted between the Morck Well and Feather Cap projects,” Mr Hendricks added.

Feather Cap is prospective for both orogenic gold and copper-gold volcanogenic massive sulfide mineralisation.

On the market today, Auris was in the grey and trading at 5.2 cents per share at 10:00 am AEDT.
