Ecru maps the host rocks ahead of assays

Aurbis Resources (CSE:AURR) has mapped two hornfels zones at its Ecru Gold Project in Nevada, US, including one extending about 800m and the other about 500m.

CEO Johan Lambrechts explains why the discovery matters and what comes next:

  • Hornfels mapped across two zones
  • Assays to test the geochemical signature
  • Geophysics to search beneath cover
  • Induced polarisation surveys to refine drill targets
  • Drilling targeted for November

The potential host rock is mapped. Now Aurbis needs the assays to show what it contains.

About the guest and company:
Johan Lambrechts is the CEO of Aurbis Resources, a gold explorer advancing the Ecru Gold Project in Nevada. The company is combining mapping, geochemistry, and geophysics to build its next round of drill targets.

🎥 Watch the full interview to see how Ecru’s exploration picture is taking shape.
