Aurora drill program

A 4-hole drill program is under way on Aurora Gold’s (ASE) Best Chance copper property in the Yukon Territory. The company hopes to increase minable tonnage on the property by testing a possible southwest extension to a known deposit with reserves of 447,000 tons grading 0.71% copper per ton. The program will follow up a previous drill hole which intersected 30 ft. averaging 2.39% copper, as well as several other 5- to 10-ft. sections carrying 0.7-4.1% copper.
