Aurwest Resources Corporation announces the acquisition of an additional 98 km2 of mineral licenses contiguous with the Stony Caldera and Paradise Lake gold projects in Central Newfoundland. The area is considered to be highly prospective for gold mineralization within the Cape Ray-Valentine Lake corridor. The Twi-lite property with reported gold values up to 202 g/t gold is located approximately 2.5km northeast of the claim boundary.

The four additional mineral licenses referred to as the "North Rim Stony Caldera" project covers 9,800 hectares (98 km2) which were included within an Area of Mutual Interest as part of the original Option Agreement to earn a 100% interest in the Stony Caldera Project signed on April 19,2021. The acquisition cost of these claims consists only of the staking costs paid to the original Stony Caldera property vendor who recently staked the claims, which was $25,480. These new claims are subject to the same 3% NSR ("Net Smelter Royalty") under the terms as the original Stony Caldera Option Agreement.

Aurwest may buy back 1.0% of the NSR for $1,000,000. Claim Geology: The claims cover part of the central Paleozoic mobile belt (Dunnage Zone) of the Newfoundland Appalachians. Rock units include the Tally Pond volcanic-sedimentary terrain of the Middle to Lower Ordovician Victoria Lake Group.

It consists of mafic volcanic and volcaniclastic rock and intercalated marine siltstone and argillite. The Tally Pond volcanics are separated from the overlying Silurian clastic rocks (Badger Group) by a horizon of fault disrupted black shale that is often pyritic and proximal to gold occurrences (the Twi-lite). Younger rock units include the early to late Silurian Stony Lake Volcanics and Botwood Group in the south of the claims. These units consist of widespread felsic rhyolites and non-marine sediments which host local structurally hosted and epithermal style gold mineralization.

Minor intrusive rocks include the Crippleback Lake quartz monzonite, interpreted as comagmatic with the Tally Pond volcanic rocks. Exploration Model: Aurwest's properties have potential to host "Orogenic" and "Intrusive Related" styles of gold mineralization comparable to the Valentine Lake, Cape Ray, Moosehead, and Queensway gold deposits. The main structural control on the location of these deposits is the Cape-Ray-Valentine Lake structural zone.

The gold mineralization is hosted in quartz vein boulders/subcrop and quartz filled breccia. The mineralization exhibits a quartz-arsenopyrite-pyrite mineral association, and several occurrences contain visible gold that have returned gold values up to a maximum of 144.7 g/t gold. Airborne magnetic data and ground IP surveys have located coincident geophysical anomalies and several phases of intrusive activity.

The gold mineralization is associated with interpreted structures on surface and have also been intersected in the recently completed drilling programs.
