JOHN'S, March 5, 2018\n\n\n\n\nTSX-V: AU\n\n\n\nST. JOHN'S, March 5, 2018 /CNW/ - Aurion Resources Ltd. (\"Aurion\" or the \"Company\") (TSX VENTURE: \"AU\") reports that it completed a short winter exploration program comprising diamond drilling, ground geophysics and Base of Till (BoT) sampling on its 100% owned Risti Project in Northern Finland.\n\n\n \n \n\n \nTwo new drill holes and the extension of another were completed at the Aamurusko gold prospect. Assay results are pending.  The drill program was curtailed due to extreme weather conditions and mechanical problems. \n\nThe drilling results, additional geophysical surveying, and Base of Till (BoT) sampling results will be incorporated into the development of a spring-summer drill program at the Aamurusko prospect and elsewhere on the Risti Project.  \n\nOther ongoing activities include an investor marketing initiative focused on building global awareness as well as baseline environmental studies (water, flora, wildlife, etc.). \n\nSummaryThe Risti Property comprises an area of approximately 15,000 ha and covers approximately 30 km of interpreted regional unconformities defined by the contact between the Kumpu Group conglomerates and the older mafic and ultramafic volcanics, of the Sodankyla and Savukoski Groups adjacent to the Sirkka Shear Zone, a major regional fault/deformation zone in the CLGB.  The setting of the Aamurusko gold mineralization is analogous to the setting of many of the world-class gold deposits in the Timmins camp of the Abitibi province of Northern Ontario.  More than 72.5 million ounces of gold in several deposits in the Timmins camp are hosted by polymictic conglomerates and mafic volcanics proximal to major unconformities adjacent to the regional Porcupine-Destor fault/deformation zone.\n\nAurion controls approximately 200,000 ha of mineral tenements within the Paleoproterozoic, Central Lapland Greenstone Belt (\"CLGB\").  The prima...
