Aurion Resources (TSX-V:AU) Ltd said it has identified a number of gold in till anomalies from the till sampling program that targeted previously unexplored areas within the company’s wholly-owned Risti and Launi properties located in Finland.
Aurion said elevated gold values were encountered within several geologic settings including volcanic, sedimentary and intrusion related domains, with many of the gold in till anomalies coinciding with, or are in close proximity to, potential structural features and/or lithological contacts interpreted from geophysical data sets.
“The identification of a number of gold in till anomalies in previously unexplored areas is highly encouraging and highlights the potential for new gold discoveries within the Risti and Launi properties,” Aurion Resources (TSX-V:AU) CEO Matti Talikka said in a statement.

“Aurion's many surface discoveries have been made by prospecting in areas with prominent outcrop. We expect base of till sampling on our unexplored, covered areas to play an important role in the discovery process going forward,” Talikka added.
The company noted that the results further support the prospectivity of its extensive land package and warrant follow-up activities including continuation and expansion of the base of till sampling program. Aurion said it began a regional base of till sampling program in early 2021, collecting 3,493 samples during the first half of 2021.
