Aurania Resources (TSXV: ARU) reported that, following the partial lifting of covid-related restrictions, its field teams are operational at the Lost Cities – Cutucu project<\/a> in southeastern Ecuador.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a media statement, the company\u2019s chairman and CEO, Keith Barron, said that the reopening of the field is not yet 100% as a total lift depends on independent decisions taken by the mayors of the various cantons overlapping the Lost Cities concessions.<\/p>\n

Aurania\u2019s CEO said Ecuador still remains in the grip of the covid-19 pandemic and deemed the situation as \u2018somewhat volatile\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n

\u201cAt this moment, only 50% of our normal field personnel are permitted – in the open cantons – legally to work. In addition, social distancing practices must be in force. Ecuador still remains in the grip of the covid-19 pandemic, and the situation is somewhat volatile,\u201d Barron said. <\/p>\n

According to the executive, Aurania staff have implemented a comprehensive back-to-work protocol and are actively cooperating with the communities around the project area, the Governor of the Morona Santiago province, and the Ministry of Health.<\/p>\n

The miner\u2019s exploration teams re-entered the field in mid-June to start mapping and soil sampling on a number of priority targets for gold-silver, copper-gold and copper. <\/p>\n

For its summer campaign, Aurania is also planning to run a heliborne Mobile MT survey as a means of identifying sulphides related to porphyries and epithermal gold-silver systems, as well as resistive zones that may represent silica-enriched areas linked with epithermals. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
