VANCOUVER, B.C., July18, 2017(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aurcana Corporation (TSX:AUN) ("Aurcana" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update of the exploration drilling programme at Shafter.

Several targets have been selected for a first-pass test, mostly following-up historic silver-gold and lead-zinc intercepts that are situated in favourable geological settings but are isolated outside the current mineral resource. Structures are present that may be controlling new or different styles of mineralization and it is hoped these will yield new zones of mineralization as well as boost our knowledge of the geology of the Shafter mining camp. The exploration programme in now underway and it is anticipated to last up to six weeks, with at least six core holes planned.

The Shafter Silver Project is located in Presidio County, Southwestern Texas, centered upon the historic Presidio Mine and the un-mined Shafter Deposit. Mineralization at Shafter is found as sheets and tabular lenses of silver-rich iron oxide lodes within laterally extensive mantos in Permian-aged limestone.
