Amur Minerals Corporation announced that its final 2017 independently derived analytical drill results have been received. The results confirm that the originally planned 20,000 metre drill programme, initiated on 5 May 2017, have expanded the known mineralized strike length by an additional 2,250 metres to a total of 3,650 metres located at and between the Ikenskoe /Sobolevsky (IKEN) and Kubuk (KUB) deposits. The newly defined drill identified mineralization is projected to be 22.4 metres in thickness and averages 0.80% nickel and 0.25% copper and it is anticipated that there will be a substantial increase in the planned early 2018 update to its JORC Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) last updated in February of 2017. Highlights: During 2017, a total of 26,485.6 diamond drill cored metres (20,000 metres planned) within 107 total holes were completed at a record low cost of $34.83 per metre (unaudited). A total of 74 holes intersected ore grade mineralisation in excess of 0.4% nickel having a minimum thickness of 3.0 metres. The 2017 average mineralised thickness per ore hole was 22.4 metres containing a length weighted grade of 0.80% nickel and 0.25% copper. Analytical results from the accredited laboratory of Alex Stewart Laboratories (ASL) based in Moscow, Russia, have now been fully completed, bringing the 2017 drill programme to completion. External control analysis is underway with SGS Minerals (SGS) located in Chita, Russia. A four kilometre long segment of the ore host zone known as the Kurumkon Trend was targeted by the drill programme. Prior to drilling, a total strike length of 1,400 metres of mineralization was known to exist within the target. The new 2017 drilling has expanded by an additional 2.25 kilometres, bringing the total mineral length to 3,650 metres. The 3.6 kilometre long ore body consists of three specific mineral blocks separated by two fault zones. The known mineral within the IKEN block has been more than doubled in size from 600 metres to 1,250 metres of mineral length, the known KUB block has been expanded from its previous length of 800 metres to 1,400 metres and a newly identified ISK mineral block of 1,000 metres of new mineral has been identified between the neighboring deposits of IKEN and KUB. Prior to the 2017 drill programme, the MRE along the entire 4.0 kilometre long corridor (IKEN plus KUB) was 35.6 million ore tonnes averaging 0.72% nickel and 0.19% copper. The identification of an additional 2,250 metres of new mineralization is anticipated to substantially increase the mineralised tonnage reported in the current February 2017 MRE. Concurrently, the new drill defined mineralization is also indicated to be higher in grade with the drill indicated nickel grade being approximately 10% higher than the MRE model grades and nearly 30% higher for copper. The 2017 drill information is under review by RPM Global (RPM) to confirm the best approach to update the MRE in early 2018. The mineability of the newly defined mineralization is conducive to both open pit and underground production. To optimize production of this mineral, a trade off study on the two mining methods is planned. Highly prospective potential remains along the 4.0 kilometre long drilled segment of the Kurumkon Trend and down dip of many of the newly completed drill holes which have not identified the limits of the mineralization. The total area of the target is in the order of 2.0 square kilometres.
