(TSXV: ASTR) (OTCQB: ATEPF) (FSE: S3I) (\"Astra\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the third batch of assays consisting of seven DDH holes from the Phase II drill program at the La Manchuria Gold and Silver Project in Santa Cruz, Argentina. Assays remain pending for 5 holes.Astra's CEO, Brian Miller commented:\"The mineralized vein system at La Manchuria continues to rapidly expand in all directions with several new intercepts of high grade silver and gold. And, because drilling has repeatedly shown that narrow veinlets near surface converge into thicker veins with depth, often with higher grades, the elevated grades encountered at these shallow depths below surface are very encouraging. \"With this set of holes, the West Feeder of the Main Zone has been extended along strike in both directions, and the East Feeder has been extended along strike to the southeast. These veins are key high-grade structures of the Main Zone which appear to be converging with depth, forming compelling feeder zone targets. Importantly, the highest grade intercept in LMD-130 is interpreted to be a possible extension of the Argentum Vein, 220 metres along strike to the southeast of hole LMD-108A, which returned 1.4 metres grading 35 g/t gold and 8,356 g/t silver in Astra's Phase I drill program.\"Program DetailsA total of 2...
