Aurcana Silver Corporation

Aurcana Silver Corporation (TSX-V: AUN, OTCQX: AUNFF) is the 100% owner of a fully permitted, prior producing Revenue-Virginius silver mine located in Colorado, US. The mine value is underpinned by the strong economics contained in an SRK-authored 2018 Definitive Feasibility Study. The known southerly extension of the Virginius vein holds the potential to more than double the existing resource base.
