Скачать или смотреть Aurania Targets Nickel & Gold in Europe

Aurania Resources CEO Dr Keith Barron joined Angela Harmantas at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada or PDAC conference in Toronto to share news about the company’s strategic shift into Europe and its growing portfolio of critical metals and gold projects.

Speaking from PDAC 2026, Barron explained that following the introduction of a punitive tax in Ecuador, the company pivoted its focus and has spent the past two and a half years assembling new opportunities across Europe. Aurania has secured three concessions in France, with exploration expected to begin in the spring, initially through airborne geophysics. Barron highlighted visible high-grade gold samples from one of the concessions and noted the broader mineral potential of the region, including tungsten and tin.

Beyond France, Aurania is advancing a cobalt project in Corsica and a significant nickel opportunity near Turin in northern Italy. The Italian project centres on a historic asbestos mine containing approximately 60 million cubic metres of waste material grading around 0.2% nickel, with additional cobalt and copper.

Barron described the extraction process as straightforward, stating: “All you gotta do is basically grind the rock up and then you extract it with magnets. Very, very simple. You don’t need any chemicals.” He added that the project could represent “probably the easiest got resource in the whole of Europe today.”

With the EU currently sourcing 45% of its nickel from Russia, Barron emphasised the strategic importance of developing domestic supply, describing the project as “a win for nature. It’s a win for the EU. It’s a win for everyone.”
