Unkur Copper-Silver Project Update
AZARGA METALS CORP. ("Azarga Metals " or the “ Company”) (TSX-V:AZR) is pleased to
announce that in direct follow-up to the 19th January 2021 news release, which highlighted
results from its recent reconnaissance geochemical exploration program at Unkur, a team of
geologist’s have been at site for the past week carrying out a GPS planning survey and other
works to prepare site for the next phase of physical exploration activities.
The recent survey works at Unkur were focussed on the eastern side of the license area
known as Unkur East, where the results of the channel sampling conducted in late -2020
showed significant zones of copper mineralization at surface on the east side of the Kemen
River. The main aim of the works is to map drill- hole locations in preparation for a potential
2,000-3,000 meter drilling program at Unkur East, which has never previously been drilled.
Gordon Tainton , President and CEO commented: “Results of last year’s reconnaissance
geochemical program confirmed the presence of extensive copper and silver mineralization
at Unkur East and its highly prospective for drilling, particularly given the success we have
had on the western side of Unkur. Any additional mineralization defined at Unkur East could
be highly complementary to our mine planning efforts across Unkur.”
As announced on 12 th April 2021, the preparation of an updated Preliminary Economic
Assessment (including an updated Mineral Resource estimate) for the Un kur West Copper-
Silver Project incorporating the drilling results reported in 2020 continues to make progress,
with results expected to be announced in coming weeks.
