(ASX: AWJ) Announcement 2 March 2021; Resources Summary and Exploration Update.

Metallurgical testing to date shows that the gold mineralisation is amenable to conventional CIL treatment and potentially to heap leach. The project is viewed by Auric as a potential open-pittable toll-treatment operation and there are at least nine gold processing plants located within a radius that includes Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie.

An application has been lodged for a miscellaneous licence that would provide for a haul road linking the project with the Eyre Highway approximately 14km to the south.

Further metallurgical and geotechnical work is planned for Jeffreys Find together with drilling to potentially define resources at the Neo Prospect.
