Heli-TEM Geophysical Survey Of Maisor And Aktasty Mineral Licenses

VANCOUVER - Arras Minerals Corp. has planned 3,381 km airborne (helicopter) electromagnetic (EM) (Heli-TEM) survey at the Bozshakol group of licenses. These licenses form part of the Teck-Arras Strategic Exploration Alliance (Bozshakol Project), and are located nearby and surrounding the operating large-scale Bozshakol copper mine.

3,381 line-kilometer Heli-TEM survey over the entire 1397 square-kilometer Bozshakol project mineral tenement package. Survey lines will be flown in a northwest-southeast (125-315) line direction, with lines expected to be approximately 500m apart.

Tim Barry, CEO, said, "The commencement of the Heli-TEM survey at the Bozshakol group is an important initiative which we have worked closely with our Alliance partners, Teck Resources on planning. The shallow overburden on most of the project has prevented us from completing geological mapping and soil sampling over the properties and this survey will provide a significant amount of quality data to help guide future exploration as we commence our hunt for additional porphyry deposits adjacent to the large-scale Bozshakol copper mine."

Future work will include evaluation of the airborne survey and ground follow-up that includes ground-based geophysics surveys, trenching and diamond drilling of identified targets.
