FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OCTOBER 7, 2019 TSX-V: AZR
AZARGA METALS COMPLETES GEOPHYSICS AND STARTS DRILLING AT UNKUR
COPPER-SILVER PROJECT, EASTERN RUSSIA
AZARGA METALS CORP. ("Azarga Metals" or the “ Company”) (TSX-V:AZR) reports that a
geophysical survey on its Unkur Copper-Silver Project in Eastern Russia has recently been
completed and a drilling program has commenced.
Since starting work in early August, a geophysical contractor has now completed both a ground
magnetic survey and nine induced polarization (IP) traverses, totaling 28-line kilometers at Unkur.
Magnetic survey data already existed over the northwest part ( representing about 20%) of the
Unkur property – where all of the previous drilling and all of the current resources are located.
Azarga Metals believes there is an obvious strong spatial correlation between zones of copper-
silver mineralization with zones of contrast between magnetic highs and lows and this correlation
was used successfully in guiding the 2016/2017 drilling program (see details in June 26, 2019
AZR news release) which is the basis of the current Inferred Resource (see below for more detail).
It was necessary to have the remaining part of the property (about 41 square km) covered with a
magnetic survey to assist in guiding the approximate 6,000 meter core drilling program. The
drilling has now started and is expected to be completed by spring 2020 with assay results
expected throughout.
The results of both the magnetic and IP geophysical surveys are being merged with previous
data, edited and interpreted, with the results of this work expected by late-October.
