MONTREAL, June 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Auxico Resources Canada Inc. (CSE:AUAG) is pleased to announce that the Company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Aucito S.A.S., a Colombian company, concerning the Villa Kelly Property (the “Property”) in the Department of Bolivar, Colombia.
The Villa Kelly Property covers an area of 92.2 hectares. According to the report written by M.Sc. Eng. Rene Florencio Lugo Primelles of ITKnowLogistics S.A.S (Link to the report: https://bit.ly/2JvakyL ), a total of 12 veins have been prospected on the Property, and limited sampling of these veins has resulted in values up to 200 g/t. The Kelly vein has a shaft down to 14 metres and had been exploited from 2011 until 2014. There are 40 artisanal miners currently on the Property.
Auxico is in the process of conducting due diligence on the Property, which will include a site visit, sampling and grade verification of the veins, with a view to creating a joint venture for the full exploitation of three veins on the Property.
