Astra Exploration moves ground crews to La Manchuria

Executive Summary

• Astra Exploration mobilized ground crews to begin detailed mapping, magnetics, topographic surveys and sampling at the La Manchuria gold‑silver project in preparation for a Phase II drill program slated to start within 3–4 weeks.
• The company announced participation in several investor events (Precious Metals Summit, Metals Investor Forum Vancouver, European Roadshow) where senior management will present updates on its projects.

Key Details

• Ground crews are conducting:
• Detailed geological mapping of key structures.
• Regional ground‑magnetic surveys.
• Topographical surveys and surface sampling.
• Phase II drilling is expected to commence in approximately three to four weeks, pending improved winter weather conditions.
• CEO Brian Miller highlighted that low‑temperature vein fragments at surface support the model of southeast‑plunging veins and suggest a concealed epithermal system beneath post‑mineral volcanics.
• Mapping aims to verify that andesitic units are discontinuous layers (10–50 m thick) rather than a continuous basement, confirming favorable host rocks identified in Phase I drilling.
• Upcoming investor engagements:
• Precious Metals Summit – Sept 11, 2025, 11:30 a.m., Heritage Room 1, Beaver Creek, CO (live presentation by CEO Brian Miller).
• Metals Investor Forum Vancouver – Sept 26, 2025, 2 p.m., JW Marriott Parq, Vancouver (panel discussion and Q&A).
• European Roadshow (Michael Gentile) – Oct 6‑10, 2025, one‑day events in London, Paris, Geneva, Zurich, Frankfurt (presentations and one‑on‑one meetings).
