SILVER/GOLD – Aura Silver Resources Inc. July 10 reported that Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. has begun an initial 1,000-meter drill program on Aura Silver's Greyhound property in Nunavut as part of an earn-in agreement that allows Agnico Eagle the right to earn up to a 70 percent interest in the Greyhound property. The drill program will target three distinct areas around Greyhound’s Aura Lake claim group: south and south east Aura Lake, where multiple one ounce gold samples and silver samples of up to 5,380 grams per metric ton were found by Aura Silver during soil sampling and the examination of sulfide-rich boulders; north Aura Lake, where base-metal samples assaying up to 9.2 percent copper and 18.5 percent zinc were found during prospecting by Aura geologists; and the Dingo prospect to the northeast, where prior discoveries include copper mineralization in a 200- by 300-meter gossan zone and in the area of a 1,000-meter quartz vein which assayed up to 9.1 g/t gold and 96.6 g/t silver. During this initial drill program, approximately 300 meters will be drilled for each area. All targets are located near the access road that connects Agnico Eagle’s Meadowbank Mine to the Baker Lake community. “This is an exciting time for Aura Silver as we hope to realize the value of the work we have done to date and which our partner has evaluated by analyzing both the geochemical and geophysical anomalies in all three target areas,” said Aura Silver CEO Robert Boaz. “This is a highly prospective area of Nunavut and we are happy that Agnico Eagle has joined us in our exploration endeavors.”
