VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A.I.S. Resources Limited (TSX.V: AIS, OTC- PINK: AISSF) (“AIS” or the “Company”) provides a corporate update regarding its ongoing gold exploration initiatives in Australia.

With the recent rise in gold prices, AIS has renewed its focus on advancing its exploration efforts. Over the next six months, the Company will assess previous exploration data and launch a detailed exploration program across its Australian gold assets.

AIS' Key Gold Projects in Australia:

1. Fosterville-Toolleen Gold Project

• AIS holds a 100% interest in the 28 km2 Fosterville-Toolleen Exploration License (EL6001), located just 10 km east of Agnico Eagle’s renowned Fosterville gold mine.

• Promising drill targets have been identified at Toolleen, with geological characteristics similar to the high-grade Fosterville mine.

2. Bright Gold Project

• AIS has a 60% stake in the 58 km2 Bright Exploration License (EL6194), with the option to acquire full ownership.

• The Company is currently reviewing results from its 2023 drill program and is preparing to define additional high-potential drill targets.

3. Kingston Gold Project

• AIS holds a 100% interest in the 167 km2 Kingston Exploration License (EL6318), which includes a small-scale mine with a 50-meter vertical shaft.

• AIS will receive 15% of the revenue from gold sales generated from the Vendor's mining activities outside of their prospecting license.

These three properties, totaling over 250 km2, are located in the highly prospective Lachlan Fold Belt in Central Victoria, often referred to as the “Golden Triangle.” According to the Geological Survey of Victoria, up to 75 million ounces of gold may still be undiscovered in the region.
