Managing Director, Dale Ginn, commented "The consolidation of ground that Aston has undertaken since acquiring the Project via both direct pegging and low-cost acquisitions has resulted in a considerable landholding. Previous landholders were impeded by fragmented holdings and a single focus on either nickel or gold exploration. We will now expand our targeting to include these newly acquired areas with the aim of finding look alike features to both that of the Boomerang nickel sulphide target and Edleston/Sirola style gold mineralisation."

This announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Aston Minerals Limited.
