JOHN'S, June 4, 2019\n\n\n\nTSX-V: AU\n \nST. JOHN'S, June 4, 2019 /CNW/ - Aurion Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AU) (\"Aurion\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report that diamond drilling has recommenced at the Aamurusko Prospect on its wholly owned Risti Project in Northern Finland. A total of approximately 10,000 metres (m) is planned, utilizing a heli-portable drill rig. Drilling with the heli-portable rig will continue until late October when decreasing daylight hours will prohibit helicopter use.\nTo date 87 drillholes have been completed over a distance of approximately 1.7 km at Aamurusko. The drillholes were widely spaced from 25 m to 350 m apart. A total of 64 drillholes intersected gold mineralization over the entire 1.7 km distance from near surface to vertical depths of 180 m. The mineralization is open to the east and west and to depth.\nTwenty-six (26) individual intercepts of greater than 5.0 g/t Au over > 0.5 m were made, including 15 intercepts greater than 15.0 g/t Au and 7 intercepts greater than 31 g/t Au (1 ounce per tonne). Several high-grade intercepts have been made including 789.0 g/t Au over 2.9 m, 42.40 g/t Au over 4.00 m, 12.48 g/t Au over 5.20 m and 24.50 g/t Au over 4.75 m.  \nGold mineralization has been encountered in multiple rock-types including clastic sediments, gabbro dykes, and mafic volcanics.  \nAdditionally, an extensive prospecting, geological mapping and trenching program is also underway throughout the Risti property.\nBackground\nThe geological setting of the Risti project has many similarities to prolific gold-rich orogenic gold belts globally, specifically the Timmins camp of the Abitibi province of Northern Ontario. The Aamurusko zone appears to be underlain by young unconformable clastic rocks (sandstones and conglomerates) of the Kumpu group. These Kumpu group conglomerates resemble the Timiskaming conglomerates of the Timmins and Kirkland Lake area of the Abitibi province and...
