Astorius Resources Ltd. doubles Rainbow Canyon landholding in Nevada, prepares for drilling
Vancouver, BC, April 7, 2017- Astorius Resources Limited ("Astorius") (TSXV:ASQ) is pleased to report that it has staked 25 unpatented lode claims covering 203 hectares immediately adjacent to its existing 214 hectare Rainbow Canyon property in Washoe County, Nevada.
The claims cover a south-westerly strike extension of the zone hosting gold-bearing veins on the Rainbow Canyon property, as described in the company’s news release of 8 February, 2017.
Nineteen grab rock samples of the veins at surface within the newly-staked claims reported gold levels above 1g/t Au, seven of which reported levels above 5g/t Au (as documented in a NI 43-101 report published by Alba Minerals Ltd in 2011).
Astorius has been granted the permits to conduct approximately one thousand meters of reverse circulation drilling on its gold targets in the north-east half of the Rainbow Canyon property and the company expects to start that drilling in late April, 2017.
Art Brown, President of Astorius states, "this is the Company’s first step in executing its business plan and realising the potential of this property. We will continue to update our shareholders on the progress of this property as results become available."
