Aston Bay, a mineral exploration company, recently inked an exploration and option to lease agreement with an independent land and timber company for an 80-acre parcel of land. This target area is located within the same region of Virginia as Aston Bay’s recently acquired Blue Ridge Project. Drilling at the parcel in 2016 reported significant gold mineralization from quartz veined meta-volcanic rocks, including 15.57 g/t Au over 4.1m. A proposed drill program at the property targeting gold-in-soil anomaly extending 900m is anticipated to commence this month.
