Aurbis Resources (QNICF, CSE: AURR) reports that its 100%-owned Ecru Gold Project in Nevada is now drill-ready following completion of extensive mapping, geophysics and geochemical work.
Rock assays from about 150 samples, together with historical soil data, show strong correlation between anomalous indicator elements and 14 hornfels alteration targets around the Ecru intrusion, consistent with nearby Robertson-style gold mineralisation. Multiple datasets (mapping, HD magnetics, gravity re-interpretation, soil and rock geochemistry) are said to corroborate a suite of primary, hornfels and secondary drill targets.
The company has started preparing documentation for drilling approvals and is negotiating with contractors for a proposed 3,000 m drill program planned for November 2026. Longer term, Aurbis also plans to evaluate Northern Nevada Rift and Carlin-style gold targets on the project.
Aurbis Resources (QNICF) will present at the Emerging Growth Conference on September 23, 2026 at 4:10 pm Eastern Time.
CEO Johan Lambrechts will give a 10-minute presentation, including a live Q&A, focusing on exploration progress, recent results and planned drilling at the Ecru Gold Project in Nevada. Attendees can interact directly with management and an archived webcast will be posted on the company’s website after the event.
Aurbis Resources (QNICF) reported that geophysical interpretation at its 100%-owned Ecru Gold Project in Lander County, Nevada, has defined 10 hornfels-related target areas for drill testing later in 2026.
The work reprocessed 100 m x 100 m gravity data and added a 50 m x 50 m drone magnetic survey, clearly outlining the central Ecru intrusion and the Northern Nevada Rift in the project’s northeast. Interpretation distinguishes three hornfels types (non-magnetic, moderately and strongly remanent) and maps multiple structures, with the company highlighting that, at the nearby Robertson deposit, gold mineralisation is largely hosted in hornfels near structures.
Aurbis plans to prioritise Robertson-style intrusion-related gold targets, then explore Northern Nevada Rift and possible Carlin-style potential. Drilling on the new intrusion-related targets is expected to start just before winter 2026, supported by pending rock geochemistry and possible targeted IP surveys.
Aurbis Resources (CSE:AURR, OTCQB:QNICF) has begun planning a proposed spin-out of its 100%-owned Ducros Nickel Project in Quebec by distributing shares of its wholly owned subsidiary 1560357 BC Ltd. to Aurbis shareholders, according to the company.
The Spin-Out is expected to be structured via a Plan of Arrangement to support a listing of 1560357 on a Canadian venture exchange, targeting a potential late 2026 or early 2027 listing, subject to shareholder, court and regulatory approvals. Final terms, including share exchange ratios and record dates, will follow in a later circular. Aurbis plans a special committee of independent directors to evaluate fairness, and anticipates 1560357 will complete a private placement to fund its business. The company cautions there is no certainty the Spin-Out will proceed or be completed on the terms currently proposed.
Aurbis Resources (CSE:AURR, OTC:QNICF) completed a second phase of mapping and sampling at its 100%-owned Ecru Gold Project in Lander County, Nevada, identifying additional hornfels alteration zones measuring about 800 m and 500 m in length west of the Ecru intrusion.
Hornfels alteration is highlighted as a key indicator for Robertson-style, intrusion-related gold systems, similar to Nevada Gold Mines’ Robertson deposit 2 km away. Historical drilling by S2 Resources in 2018 intersected 3.6 m @ 1.6 g/t Au in hole NECD001 within the contact aureole. Aurbis is awaiting geochemical assay results for rock samples (expected in 4–6 weeks) and interpretations of magnetic, gravity, LiDAR and photogrammetry data, which are intended to define hornfels targets under cover and guide a targeted IP survey before final drill design.
Aurbis Resources (OTCQB: QNICF, CSE: AURR) announced that CEO Johan Lambrechts will present at the OTC Markets: Precious Metals & Critical Minerals Virtual Investor Conference on July 22, 2026, at 10:00 am EST. The 30-minute online session will cover exploration progress at the Ecru Gold Project in Nevada, including the recently identified hornfels and its implications for gold mineralisation and final drill design. The presentation will be followed by a live Q&A, giving investors direct access to management. Interested participants are invited to register online, and an archived webcast will be made available on Aurbis Resources’ website for those unable to attend live.
Aurbis Resources (QNICF) announced that CEO Johan Lambrechts will present at the Emerging Growth Conference on July 15, 2026 at 4:40 pm EST. The company will host a 12-minute live session, including a presentation and Q&A, focused on exploration progress at the Ecru Gold Project in Nevada and the recently identified Hornfels and its bearing on gold mineralisation. Investors can register online to attend live or later access an archived webcast on Aurbis Resources' website.
Aurbis Resources (QNICF) reported key exploration progress at its 100%-owned Ecru Gold Project in Lander County, Nevada. A high-definition 50m x 50m magnetic survey, LiDAR, photogrammetry and interpretation of a 100m x 100m gravity dataset are underway to refine drill targets.
Hornfels alteration, considered indicative of Robertson-style reduced intrusion-related gold mineralisation, has been mapped and will be the focus of a second phase of mapping, sampling and geochemical assays. Processed magnetic and gravity interpretations will guide a targeted IP survey and final drill design.
(QNICF) reported completion of the first phase (P1) of detailed mapping and rock sampling at the Ecru Gold Project in Nevada. Mapping outlined strong hornfelsing, brecciation, silicification and structural controls on alteration. Hornfels is described as a critical indicator for Robertson-style gold mineralisation.
Aurbis Resources (QNICF) announced that CEO Johan Lambrechts will present at the Emerging Growth Conference on June 10, 2026, at 9:40 a.m. EST.
