Corporate Overview

Astur Gold is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and operation of precious metal assets in Western Europe. Astur Gold's primary focus is the recently acquired advanced gold exploration project Salave located near Tapia de Casariego, Province of Asturias, Spain. Salave is one of the largest and highest grade undeveloped gold deposits in Western Europe. The Property has a current NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate containing 1,683,000 oz in the Measured & Indicated category (17,945,000 tonnes @ 2.9 g/t Au) and 338,000 oz in the Inferred category (3,770,000 tonnes @ 2.8 g/t Au). There is excellent exploration potential with four of the principal high grade zones of mineralization open at depth and additional exploration areas to the West that have never been tested. Previous metallurgical tests indicate recovery in the order of 90% and the region has excellent mining infrastructure.

Salave was once one of the largest gold mines in the Roman Empire.  Mining has a rich history in the Asturias region of the Iberian Peninsula, with a legacy of generations of Asturian miners dating back to the Roman period. The Salave deposit is situated at the bottom of an old Roman open pit, actively mined 2000 years ago. The Romans removed millions of tonnes from the shallower oxidized portion of the deposit in the vicinity of "Los Lagos".

We at Astur Gold are very excited to advance Salave and cultivate an enduring partnership with the people of Asturias in developing  economic prosperity for the region.
