Bryah Basin Exploration Update

Feather Cap Project

  • Assay results of remaining 63 air core holes completed at Durack East prospect expected to be reported in next 30 days

  • Heritage Clearance to enable infill air core drilling at Durack East Prospect has been scheduled for 5[th] and 6[th] December - Air Core to commence early in new year

  • RC rig has been secured and expected on site in 3 weeks, planned to drill 4 holes to further evaluate two high grade gold intercepts received from recently completed drilling at Durack East

  • Results from recent drilling highlights, support the interpretation of a 2.5km extension of the Morck Well gold mineralised trend into the Feather Cap Project

Forrest Project

  • Air Core drill programme planned for Q1 2022 to test several targets identified from the IP survey and independent geological review of the prospect

Sandfire JV Projects

  • Sandfire are continuing to explore the Morck Well, Cashman and Cheroona JV Projects

  • Significant heritage clearances (>270-line km) have been completed to allow Sandfire to potentially complete targeted 400m infill Air Core drilling

  • RC drill hole planned to test modelled MLEM anomaly identified 5km southeast from the DeGrussa Copper-Gold Mine and along strike to the southwest of the Salmon Gold Prospect- which returned results including 5m @ 9.0g/t Au from 22m including 2m @ 19.1g/t Au from 23m (DRC059)[#]

Corporate: Option Entitlement Issue

  • Last day for eligible shareholders to take up their 1:1 option entitlement is Thursday 18th November 2021

Gold and Base Metals explorer Auris Minerals Limited (“ Auris ” or “ the Company ”) ( ASX: AUR ) is pleased to provide the following update on exploration activity across the Company’s suite of projects in the Bryah Basin, Western Australia.

Auris Managing Director, Mike Hendriks, commented: “Auris has a strong pipeline of exploration activity mapped out across both it’s 100% owned and JV projects over the next 6 months. Importantly, the fully underwritten option entitlement issue, together with our existing cash reserves, will put the company in a strong financial position to carry out its exploration activities with a cash position of

close to $5M. We have a firm focus on unlocking the potential of our exciting Bryah Basin portfolio, whilst also continuing to explore complementary and value accretive business development opportunities.”

Feather Cap Project (100% AUR)

The Company is pleased to advise that an RC drill rig has been secured to undertake the follow up drilling programme at the Feather Cap Project.

The rig is planned to arrive on site in three weeks to drill four holes to further evaluate two high grade gold intercepts ( 10m @ 1.22g/t Au from 85m (DEAC0075) and 8m @ 5.44g/t Au from 87m including 1m @ 26.7g/t Au from 87m (DEAC0089) – (Refer ASX announcements dated 2 November 2021 and ASX Announcement 13 October 2021) , received from recently received priority assays from completed Air Core drilling at Durack East. The planned drilling programme has been designed to improve the definition and understanding of the orientation of the interpreted gold mineralised trend and geology within Feather Cap.

In addition, Heritage surveying has been scheduled for 5[th] and 6[th] December, which covers the entire interpreted gold mineralised trend within the Feather Cap Project. Completion of the Heritage Clearance and receipt of the remaining results will enable targeted Air Core drilling to commence early in 2022. This programme will delineate and extend the identified gold mineralisation at a 200m line spacing.

The Feather Cap Project is located 95km north of Meekatharra, in the Bryah Basin, Western Australia and is prospective for both orogenic gold and Horseshoe Lights style CuAu VHMS mineralisation and is located 2km along strike to the east of the 112k oz Durack Gold Resource.

Importantly, the results returned from the completed Air Core drilling-to-date support the interpretation of a 2.5km extension of the Morck Well gold mineralised trend into the Feather Cap Project.

Forrest Project (80% AUR)

Auris is pleased to report that an Air Core drill programme has been planned for Q1 2022 to test several encouraging targets generated from an IP survey (see ASX announcement dated 22 January 2021) and an independent geological review of the project.

As previously reported, the offset pole dipole induced polarisation (IP) survey completed at Forrest identified a total of ten (10) IP target areas (Figures 2 and 3) which have been identified from the modelling, interpretation and integration of the IP survey results with other exploration datasets. A number of these identified IP target areas are located along strike from the Forrest and Wodger deposits.

The Forrest Project is located 6km south along strike from Westgold's Starlight VHMS intersection, comprising an interpreted equivalent stratigraphic position to the Horseshoe Lights Cu-Au deposit. The Project is host to a total JORC 2012 Compliant Copper Resource comprising Forrest and Wodger deposits of 2.4Mt at 1.7% Cu for 41,500t Cu metal, with copper mineralisation at both deposits remaining open down-dip and plunge.

Sandfire Resources JV Projects

Significant heritage clearances (>270-line km) have been recently completed to allow Sandfire to potentially complete targeted 400m infill Air Core drilling, which will further evaluate anomalous drill intersections within previous regional Air Core drilling completed on 800m spaced drill lines.

Significant results within the previous Air Core drilling include maximum gold results of 7m @ 6.09g/t Au from 48m and 3m @ 10.6g/t Au from 49m, (MWAC2225 - Refer ASX announcement 17 July 2020) in the east of the project and 5m @ 4.76g/t Au from 70m (MWAC2682 – Refer ASX announcement 17 July 2020) in the west, (Figure 4).

Additionally, an RC hole has been designed to test a model generated from an anomalous response that was identified on Line 54500 of the MLEM survey at Cow Hole Bore on the Doolgunna project. The MLEM anomaly is located 5km southeast from the DeGrussa Copper-Gold Mine and along strike to the southwest of the Salmon Gold Prospect which returned results including 5m @ 9.0g/t Au from 22m including 2m @ 19.1g/t Au from 23m (DRC059 - RNI ASX Announcement 31 October 2011).
