Astra Exploration (TSX.V:ASTR – OTCQB:ATEPF – FSE:S3W) CEO Brian Miller returns to share assay results from the company’s initial drill program at the La Manchuria gold-silver project in Argentina.

Since our last conversation in February, Astra has completed a 2,468-meter, 11-hole program targeting extensions and parallel structures in the project’s main zone. The market took notice after the company reported three out of four holes that returned high-grade intercepts.

Brian breaks down:

• Key results from the first four holes and why 108A stands out
  
  
• The structural complexity and vein density of the system, including up to 20 individual vein structures in one section
  
  
• How Astra is stepping beyond historic drilling to expand the known mineralized footprint
  
  
• Expectations for remaining assays and timing for the next drill program
  
  
• Current treasury position (~C$2M) and next steps for drilling once field conditions improve
  
  

With a more bullish gold market backdrop, strong results like these are finally being rewarded. Astra is positioned for a potentially transformative year.
