Earliest Start On Record

Amur Minerals Corporation ('Amur' or the 'Company'), a nickel-copper sulphide mineral exploration and resource development company focused on the far east of Russia, announces that it has initiated its 2016 field programme ahead of schedule at its Kun-Manie production licence.

A total of 15,000 metres of drilling are planned for completion within the three and a half kilometre long Maly Kurumkon / Flangovy ('MKF') deposit. The prime objective of the drill programme is to generate a large representative metallurgical sample from the deposit for use in the final process design of the ore treatment facilities. Exploration drilling will also be undertaken to convert existing Inferred resources to that of Indicated and to further expand the resource of the MKF deposit. Satellite communications have now been established to the MKF deposit base camp and it has been reported that drilling begun on 5 May 2016. This is the earliest start to the drilling field season since exploration began in 2004.
