Auris Minerals has commenced an air core drilling campaign at the Morck Well Project, located 130 kilometres north of Meekatharra in Western Australia's Bryah Basin.

The program comprises 20 to 26 holes for approximately 2,400 metres, designed to evaluate anomalous gold mineralisation identified in previous exploration at the Jacques East and Frenchy's South prospects.

At Jacques East, initial drilling consists of 20 holes laid out on a 100-metre spacing, with provision to immediately infill to 50 metres where significant quartz veining or alteration is encountered. The prospect is interpreted to host a flat-lying supergene component associated with regolith boundaries.

The remaining drilling focuses on Frenchy's South, where six holes will test the distribution and tenor of gold mineralisation at a closer 25-metre spacing relative to historical holes.

“The Company is excited by the commencement of the current air core drill program. The program is designed to test for strike extensions of high-grade gold mineralisation at Jacques East and further evaluate the nature of gold mineralisation at Frenchy's South.”

— Mike Hendriks, Managing Director

Auris holds an 80% interest in the Morck Well tenements, with CuFe holding the remaining 20% free-carried interest until a decision to mine.
