Aurvista Gold Corporation Increases Douay Project Size to Cover
50km Segment of Casa Berardi Deformation Zone
Montreal (Quebec): Aurvista Gold Corporation (“Aurvista” or the “ Company”) ( TSX-V: AVA,
OTC: ARVSF; Frankfurt: AV2) is pleased to report that the Company has increased the Douay Gold
Project (the “Project”) size by more than 26 km². The Company’s exploration team has been
diligently tracking specific claims and staking as soon as they become available to expand Aurvista’s
already commanding property package. In total, the Project now consists of 624 claims covering
331.7 km². Aurvista has also submitted applications for additional claims that will increase the
property size to 345 km². Aurvista’s Douay Gold Project will now cover a 50km segment of the Casa
Berardi Deformation Zone within the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt.
The additional claims are contiguous to the additional ground that was staked in April (see press
release April 5, 2017) and cover two of the three main faults in the Casa Berardi Deformation Zone.
The main Douay mineralization is located on a splay fault off the northern most fault of the Casa
Berardi Break in an area of chaotic magnetic signatures due to the presence of intrusive porphyries,
magnetic units and alteration . The recently staked claims cover another area of chaotic magnetic
signatures 20km to the northwest. The figure below outlines the Company’s updated claim
boundary.
