(\"Azarga Metals\" or the \"Company\") (TSX-V:AZR) announces assay results from channel sampling of trenches at its Unkur Copper-Silver Project in the Zabaikalsky administrative region of eastern Russia. Samples are reported from two trenches that were excavated at the project. Two additional trenches were excavated on the basis of copper staining on surface but fell short of the target to intercept mineralization identified by historic trenching. The onset of winter conditions at camp precluded continuing undertaking additional trenching during the first phase field program.\n\n\n \n \n\n \nAzarga Metals' President and CEO Dorian (Dusty) Nicol said, \"These trench samples, together with drill hole and samples announced earlier now define an area of silver-copper mineralization extending over 3,200 meters in strike length and up to 600 meters in width, which is still open in all directions. In addition, drilling results suggest the presence of multiple stacked zones of mineralization. These results of the first phase exploration program add to our confidence that with continued exploration, Unkur will develop into a significant and high grade silver-copper deposit.\"\n\nThe Company has now received all assays for its first phase exploration program.  Interpretation of these results is ongoing. Azarga Metals has engaged SRK Consulting (Russia) Ltd. to prepare a maiden NI 43-101 Resource estimate at Unkur, which is expected to be completed late in Q1 or early in Q2 of 2017.\n\nTRENCH CHANNEL SAMPLES OF OUTCROPPING MINERALIZATION\n\nChannel samples are reported from each of two trenches located about 400 meters apart from each other and 200 to 400 meters up-dip to the south-west of the drilling area. Trench K-615 assayed nine meters at 14.0g/t silver and 0.30% copper (ie, 4...
