Azarga Metals Corp. announce that results from its reconnaissance geochemical exploration program have shown previously unknown areas of copper and silver mineralization on both the eastern and western limbs of the Unkur syncline on its 100% owned Unkur Copper-Silver Project (the “Project”) located in Eastern Russia. The reconnaissance geochemical exploration field operations took place during October and early November 2020. The object of the program was to identify new areas of copper and silver mineralization outside of the known area of recent drilling by taking lithochemical samples just below the surface over widespread areas of the property and analyzing the -1mm fraction. Due to frost and snow on site, the original design of the program was reduced but despite this, 180 rock-chip samples and 28 channel samples were taken at 6 locations. The results of the channel sampling showed significant zones of copper mineralization at surface on the east side of the Kemen River (known as the Kemen area) as well as areas on the southwestern side of the property (Unkur SW In the Kemen area, several lithochemical samples showed more than 0.05% copper in three anomalies extending over strike lengths of 2 km, 1.1 km, and 0.9 km (using the >25ppm Cu value), possibly at different stratigraphic levels. Copper mineralization in outcrops was also found at several locations on which channel samples were taken In addition, new mineralization was discovered over an area of 250x160 m at Unkur SW in four closely spaced outcrops on which channel samples were taken This mineralization appears to be stratigraphically below the main Unkur mineralization and implies a second perhaps parallel zone of mineralization to the known body hosting the current resources at Unkur.
