AuRo Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ARU)(FRANKFURT:NXP3) is pleased to announce
the appointment of John Buckle P. Geo., P. Geoph. as Vice-President,
Exploration. Mr. Buckle has worked across the full mining spectrum for
approximately 40 years, and has played key roles in major discoveries throughout
North and South America, with both majors and junior mining companies. Mr.
Buckle's distinct and diverse experience establishes him as a valuable addition
and asset to the AuRo team.
From 1998 to present, Mr. Buckle was a consulting geoscientist to Geological
Solutions, which specializes in geophysical and geological consulting on
projects in Canada, USA, Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Turkey and Niger for
Canadian based junior mineral exploration companies. Key highlights of Mr.
Buckle's credentials, and track record of discoveries include:
-- Mr. Buckle targeted the discovery drill holes on the rich El Domo
polymetallic deposit. El Domo is already Ecuador's largest VHMS deposit
and it is still growing.
-- He was part of the team that added new discovery zones to the historic
Collahuasi copper mine in Chile, which now hosts over 1.8 billion pounds
of copper under the joint ownership of Xstrata and AngloAmerican.
-- He was an instrumental member of the discovery team of new ore-grade
mineralization at an abandoned project that later became the four-
million-ounce Jacobina gold mine, which is now owned by Yamana Gold.
-- Prior to working in Latin America, Mr. Buckle worked in the Canadian
North where he designed the initial geophysical survey for BHP Billiton
at Point Lake that led to the discovery of the Ekati Diamond Mine and
subsequent diamond discoveries in the Northwest Territories.
-- Mr. Buckle also directed the first airborne survey that led to the
discovery of the Voisey's Bay nickel discovery.
AuRo Resources President & CEO Mark Lawson comments, "We are delighted to dually
have a senior geologist and geophysicist with John's significant experience
throughout Latin America, join AuRo as a key member of our senior management
team. We are excited to have him lead our exploration, drilling and corporate
development initiatives in Colombia."
Mr. John Buckle stated "AuRo Resources has assembled an impressive portfolio of
properties in three of the most prolific mineral belts in Colombia. I will be
directing an aggressive exploration campaign from AuRo's exploration office in
Bucaramanga, Colombia. I am pleased to be a part of a company that has such a
bright future."
