Auro Metals Hits 905m Gold-Copper Interval at Santa Barbara

Auro Metals reports 905m of 0.60 g/t gold and 0.12% copper at Santa Barbara, Ecuador, and launches 20,000m Phase II drilling to expand resources.

The results from Auro Metals' Santa Barbara project underscore the potential for a significant porphyry discovery in Ecuador's Zamora Copper-Gold Belt. The long, continuous mineralization in hole DSB-68, combined with high-grade intercepts in other holes, suggests a robust mineralized system that could expand the current resource. As the company advances to Phase II drilling and metallurgical testing, successful outcomes could lead to a resource update that substantially increases the project's value. For investors, this news highlights the exploration upside and the potential for Auro to become a major player in the global copper-gold market, especially as demand for these metals rises in the transition to renewable energy.
