[{"type":"text","content":"Aurvista Gold Initiates Summer Exploration Program at DouayMONTREAL, QC / ACCESSWIRE / June 21, 2016 / Aurvista Gold Corporation (TSXV: AVA) (OTC: ARVSF) (FSE: AV2.F) (\"Aurvista\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the start of the Summer 2016 exploration program at the Company's wholly-owned Douay Gold Project following the closing of the C$1.1 million financing. The Company plans a two-staged exploration campaign on the Project for the period June to September 2016 (refer to the Company news release dated June 14, 2016) with the prime objective of determining the best of the 25 defined targets with a view of significantly increasing the current Mineral Resource estimates*.\nThe First Stage campaign will complete the Priority Targeting Program (the \"Program\") in two areas where management is confident additional gold mineralization will be uncovered, the first being in the 10 km by 3 km wide (at its longest and widest points) SE-tilted parallelogram-shaped polygon enclosing the Douay-Style Mineralization (\"DSM\") containing all the known gold zones (\"Douay West,\" \"10,\" \"20,\" \"531,\" \"Central,\" \"Main,\" \"NW,\" \"Porphyry\" and the \"South Porphyry\") and current Mineral Resource estimates*; and second, the 6 km by 1 km wide cluster of EM INPUT™ anomalies conductors running along the southwest boundary of the DSM that have affinities to Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide or VMS mineralization associated with gold. \nThe Second Stage campaign will consist of a 4,000 meters of drilling to delineate additional gold and/or copper-gold mineralization on the best targets. \nThe Summer Program will include completing an airborne geophysical Magnetic, Electromagnetic and Radiometric survey of the central portion of the Douay Project to define key contacts, faults and porphyry linked to gold and any potential base metal bearing massive sulphide lenses within the 6 km by 1 km Copper-Gold corridor to a depth of -150 metres; re-logging selective previous and historical drill core for litho-geochemical and thin section work along key gold mineralized and non-mineralized sections across the Douay Project, all to define the chemical signatures and alteration mineralogy of the known gold and/or base metal mineralization, helping with the airborne geophysical survey in the vectoring towards additional mineralization; and ...
