Aurania completes drilling at Thormódsdalur gold project in Iceland
Aurania Resources Ltd. reports the completion of its 2026 drill program at the Thormódsdalur gold-silver project in Iceland. Eight diamond drill holes totaling about 781 meters were drilled, and early observations note vein textures consistent with epithermal gold-silver mineralization. Assay results are not yet published and are expected later after laboratory processing.
What happened
Aurania Resources completed its 2026 drilling program at the Thormódsdalur project in Iceland. The program involved eight diamond drill holes totaling 780.70 meters. The company reports core recovery was high in most holes, near 100%, which is an improvement over earlier programs that had lower core recovery. The drill holes largely twin or re-test vein zones from historical work. The company notes quartz veins and hydrothermal textures in the core that resemble epithermal gold-silver mineralization, suggesting the potential for mineralized zones. Assay results from the samples are expected in November 2026, subject to laboratory turnaround times.
