AURANIA REPORTS THAT FIELD WORK IS UNDERWAY AT ITS LOST CITIES PROJECT
IN ECUADOR
Toronto, Ontario, June 2 4, 2020 – Aurania Resources Ltd. (TSXV: ARU) (OTCQB: AUIAF)
(Frankfurt: 20Q) (“Aurania” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that field teams are operational at
its Lost Cities – Cutucu Project (“Project”) in southeastern Ecuador after the partial lifting of COVID -
related restrictions.
Dr. Keith Barron, Chairman and CEO of Aurania commented, “I would like to thank our staff for
implementing a comprehensive back-to-work protocol, and for the close cooperation that there’s been with
the communities in the Project area, the office of the Governor of Morona Santiago Province, and the
Ministry of Health. Our aim is to get our full compl ement back into the field as soon as possible while
protecting the health of the communities with which we work and our staff.”
“Reopening of the field is not yet 100%. The decision to re-open lies with the mayors of the various Cantons
overlapping our concessions, and at this moment only 50% of our normal field personnel are permitted - in
the open Cantons - legally to work. In addition, social distancing practices must be in force. Ecuador still
remains in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the situation is somewhat volatile.”
Aurania’s exploration teams re-entered the field in mid-June to commence mapping and soil sampling on
a number of priority targets for gold -silver, copper-gold and copper. The Company has also requested
quotes from several geophysical service companies for a heliborne Mobile MT survey as a means of
identifying sulphides related to porphyries and epithermal gold- silver systems, as well as resistive zones
that may represent silica-enriched areas linked with epithermals.
