[{"type":"text","content":"Azarga Metals Intercepts 86 Meters of 0.6% Copper and +57.6g/t SilverHIGHLIGHTS86 meters of mineralization with an average grade of 0.6% copper and +57.6g/t silver (representing a 1.19% copper equivalent intercept [see note 1 below]) intersected in drill-hole AM19-004 - by far, the widest mineralized intersection recorded in Unkur's historyDrill-holes AM19-002 and AM19-003b intersected copper and silver mineralization some two kilometers to the southeast along strike from the envelope of the current Mineral Resource estimate VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 11, 2020 / AZARGA METALS CORP. (\"Azarga Metals\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:AZR) reports that it has received assay results from the first six drill holes from the ongoing 6,000 meter drilling program on its Unkur Copper-Silver Project in Eastern Russia. These results indicate the possibility of expanding the mineralized envelope at Unkur at depth and along strike.Dr. Alexander Yakubchuk, VP Exploration observed the core from these drill holes and said: \"Drill-hole AM19-004 has discovered the widest intercept of mineralization to date at Unkur. The mineralization in this hole consists of chalcopyrite-bornite-chalcocite material with two subintervals of 15m with an average grade of 0.84% copper and 43.9g/t silver, and 32m with an average grade of 1.02% copper and 128.7g/t silver. These results are supported by similar mineralization with partially received assays for holes AM19-005 and AM19-006, together with the 2016 drilling results indicating the presence of higher than the average of the resource grade mineralization extending over 1,200m in length and 400m down dip in the northern part of the current resource envelope. This suggests that it may be possible to expand the mineralized envelope at this location. Furthermore, drill holes AM19-002 and AM19-003b intercepted copper-silver mineralization some 2km southeast from the current resource envelope indicating a strong possibility for its expansion to the southeast as well.\"Figure 1.
