Vancouver, British Columbia – November 15, 2016 – Astorius Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: ASQ, Frankfurt: 47AF) (“Astorius” or the “Company”) announced today that the Company is moving into its next phase of work on the 100%-owned Condor gold project in southeast Ecuador, with geologists and technical crews preparing to resample the property’s alluvial gold deposits.The near-term objective of this program is to resume alluvial gold production in 2017, followed by a self-funded drill program to explore gold anomalies related to nearby major gold discoveries.

Within One of Ecuador’s Most Important Copper-Gold Regions

The Condor Project is part of a metallogenic copper and gold belt that extends for more than 150 kilometers in Ecuador’s Cordillera del Condor. This belt includes Corriente Resources’ Mirador, Panantza and San Carlos copper projects. More importantly, the Condor Property is situated just four kilometers east of the world class Fruta del Norte gold discovery under development by Lundin Gold and only 100 meters south of that project’s El Tigre gold anomaly. Production is expected to begin at Fruta del Norte in Q1 2020.

“Within Fruta del Norte’s entire 90,000-hectare area, Condor is one of the few remaining claim blocks not held by Lundin,” noted Sandy MacDougall, Astorius’ Chairman of the Board.

Exploring Extensive Alluvial Gold with At Least Eight Gold Anomalies

Previous exploration at Condor has established the presence of extensive alluvial gold¹ and at least eight anomalous gold zones identified in soil surveys.²The geochemical signatures of the anomalies are consistent with those at both Fruta del Norte and El Tigre. “Most importantly,” said MacDougall, “work at Condor to date indicates that the main anomaly at Fruta del Norte runs beneath our ground. This is a crucial premise, and one we will investigate much further during this next round of exploration. This work will also help us identify which anomalies to drill first.”

Options for Near-Term Extraction of Alluvial Gold

Alluvial gold found in many areas of the Condor property provides options for near-term production. A 2014 study by alluvial mining consultants Velrub Ltd. of Quito, Ecuador, determined the existence of alluvial gold in the property’s low terraces. Follow-up work on the medium and high terraces, conducted in February 2016, identified additional alluvial gold that will be tested further in the upcoming program. This work will include resampling of the alluvial deposits of the low and medium terraces on both sides of the Rio Machinaza as well as other quebradas (ravines) where alluvial gold has been identified.The intent is to re-start alluvial extraction as soon as the environmental license is in place.³
