Targets, Greyhound, NU
OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Feb 28, 2014) - Aura Silver
Resources Inc. (TSX-VENTURE:AUU) ("Aura Silver" or the "Company")
is pleased to announce the results of a comprehensive report
completed by L.E Reed Geophysical Consultant Inc. ("Reed") which
supports, from a geophysical standpoint, drill targets established
geochemically by Activation Laboratories Ltd. (Actlabs)
Spatiotemporal Geochemical Hydrocarbon ("SGH") technology for the
Aura Lake area as well as the Dingo prospect north-west of Aura
Lake, both part of the Greyhound Project, NU.
As reported by Reed, "Correlations between the geochemistry
and various geophysical data suggest support for the possible
identification of gold and silver deposits at Aura Lake and a gold
and copper deposit at Dingo". This report may be accessed at
the Company's web-site (http://www.aurasilver.com/s/Home.asp) under
the section Projects / Canada.
The potential sources of high-grade gold boulders (up to 28 g/t)
and high-grade silver (up to 5,300 g/t) have been identified in
close proximity to Aura Lake. The gold and copper targets at the
Dingo prospect area north-west of Aura Lake are surface showings.
New interpretation of geophysical data and SGH has refined the
drill targets. This geophysical analysis has identified multiple
structures/contacts with the use of three-dimensional inversion
imagery of airborne VTEM EM and magnetic responses and ground
Induced Polarization and Resistivity data. These
structures/contacts at Aura Lake may have provided a pathway for
fluids carrying mineralization and are interpreted to support the
drill targets originally defined by geochemical analysis.
Robert Boaz CEO and President of Aura Silver states that,
"The detailed geophysics analysis undertaken by Reed gives us
further comfort that we are zeroing in on the source of high-grade
surface gold, silver and copper mineralization. Despite the
difficult market for all junior exploration companies we continue
to enhance the value of our properties."

About Actlabs
Actlabs' SGH technology is a deep penetrating "organic
geochemistry" that involves the analysis of surficial samples
prospected over potential mineral or petroleum targets (see:
http://www.actlabs.com/files/SGH_-_NEW_.pdf). The analysis
involves the testing for 162 hydrocarbon compounds in the C5-C17
carbon series range. These hydrocarbons result from bacterial
activity associated with a variety of minerals such as gold, silver
and petroleum deposits, among others. The observation of a specific
set of hydrocarbon classes provides a forensic signature of mineral
identification related to the hydrocarbons synthesized by bacteria
that are in contact with the mineral target at depth. The
geochromatographic dispersion of the SGH classes in the overburden
has been successful in delineating mineral targets buried at depth
of as much as 1,000 metres. Over 14 years of research, Actlabs has
conducted over 900 SGH surveys with an 85% repeat client base
including some of the worlds' largest mining companies.
The recently developed Organo-Sulphur Geochemical analysis
detects specific sulphur based hydrocarbons related to the sulphur
component of targets including from massive sulphide
mineralization. This analysis has complemented and refined the
previous SGH study, more narrowly defining these targets to a point
where ratings were either maintained or increased such that all
targets now have the highest priority rating. According to Actlabs,
the highest level rating achieved by the three targets indicates
that "the SGH classes most important to describing a
gold-related (or silver-related) hydrocarbon signature are all
present and consistently vector with the same location with
well-defined anomalies". To obtain this rating there also
needs to be other SGH classes that when mapped lend support and
confidence to the predicted location.
