Aurania reports that ridge and spur soil sampling has identified extensive and coherent areas of elevated silver and other pathfinder elements at the Yawi target in its Lost Cities – Cutucu Project (the “Project”) in Ecuador. These pathfinder elements are typical of the upper parts of epithermal gold-silver systems in the region. This data delineates two roughly parallel areas of metal enrichment each approximately 600 metres long and open along trend.

Aurania reports that significant copper mineralization has been discovered by two separate regional exploration teams in the Lost Cities – Cutucu Project in Ecuador.  The discoveries are approximately 20 kilometres (14 miles) apart: the first target is called “Jempe” and the other, “Kirus.”  The discoveries were made during exploration of two of the many magnetic targets identified from the geophysical survey conducted over the Project.
