(TSXV: ASTR) (OTCQB: ATEPF) (FSE: S3I) (\"Astra\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that trenching operations have commenced at Pampa Paciencia, and Astra's shares are now listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE) under the symbol \"S3I\".CEO Brian Miller commented:\"Pampa Paciencia is a large district, with known high gold grades and wide veins that has hardly been explored as evidenced by the discovery of the new western veins. This trenching program will follow-up the new 2,000 metres of vein subcrop that we have identified in the west of the Paciencia District in late 2022. Trenching will initially target an area with 5.33g/t AuEq and then expand to add drill targets to the company's inventory at Pampa Paciencia.\" The Company mobilized equipment and personnel to the Impaciencia Oeste area of the Project during the week of March 19th to confirm and define newly discovered epithermal veins. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) will be used to determine the thickness of caliche sediment in various areas of the project, and heavy equipment will be used to remove the caliche so that vein dimensions can be determined and geochemistry sampled. In Q4 of 2022, Company geologists discovered approximately 2,000 metres of vein subcrop (near-surface veins covered by thin sediment layer) and surface float containing gold and silver with grades up to 5.33 grams per tonne gold equivalent (AuEq = 80). This new discovery is located on the western side of the project, approximately five kilometres west of the Phase I and II drill programs.
