auriga gold fires their ceo and gives themselves 1.8 million options

500,000 for the ring leader Mr. Glenn.


Looks like Gordon Glenn for his meritorious work over the last two months ( sorry but none of the accomplishments so far were under the good Mr. Glenn) has received the lions share of the low priced options for 5 years. The reason he got so many is that he was the one to break the news to Sutcliffe that he was being stabbed in the back by his board of directors and replaced.

Who gave out these options? The compensation committee of course and they are the "independent" directors. Yea right.

Auriga CEO Richard Sutcliffe on Manitoba gold assays of 125.08 g/t over 7.6m

Auriga Gold Corp TSXV:AIA announced assays from the Nokomis deposit of its Maverick gold project in Manitoba. Results include

1.91 g/t gold over 7.3 metres
125.08 g/t over 7.6 metres (including 820.28 g/t over 1.1 metres)
12.27 g/t over 5.2 metres
2.95 g/t over 4.6 metres
5.1 g/t over 6.4 metres
9.65 g/t over 5.6 metres (including 62.23 g/t over 0.5 metres)

President/CEO Richard Sutcliffe tells ResourceClips.com, “Auriga Gold acquired the Maverick project just over a year ago. We really like both the regional exploration potential and the existing infrastructure in the area—this is the Flin Flon Mining Camp. Our focus until recently had been strictly on the Puffy Lake deposit, which is a resource that we built up to three-quarters of a million ounces. This winter we moved out for the first time to one of the satellite deposits on this regional trend, and we’ve come back with some really exciting results from the first drill holes on the Nokomis deposit.

In the latest drilling campaign, holes A3-79, 82, 83, and 85 all tested shallow underground mineralization north of the planned northern starter pit. The drill results reported here were completed subsequent to the Company's NI43-101 resource announced in August 2011 (see press release dated August 4, 2011).
Exploration drilling at Maverick Gold has continued through the winter season with the intention of both upgrading and expanding existing NI 43-101 resources around the Puffy Lake deposit as well as on the Nokomis deposit. As announced on February 22, 2012, Auriga is drilling the Nokomis deposit located 7 km northeast of the Puffy lake mill with particular emphasis on testing near surface mineralization. Over 1,200 meters of drilling over 18 holes is now complete at Nokomis; initial assay results are anticipated in early March, followed by an upgraded and expanded resource estimate.
A plan section showing the location of the Puffy deposit diamond drill holes is available on the Company's website at http://www.aurigagold.ca/i/maps/Drill.Hole.Location.pdf.

Huge volume today-

News on updated resource very soon!

43-101 in two weeks!

Next: PEA this summer, decision on starter pit.

Good news coming I believe.

It is my mission to keep Auriga gold over 40 cents and soon it will be 50 cents.

I have sold all my other miners and margined my account close to 35% at this point and going to go to at least 60%. The stocks I have pay higher dividends than the interest charged on the margin charged by the brokerage house.

Waiting anxiously on the 43-101 - Hoping the resource will be close to 800,000 ounces but will be satisfied with 700,000 at this point.

More drilling results - and 43-101 by early summer. Maybe 1 million oz's????? which is only a 20% increase- surely doable. I guess we will see sometime in July. Fingers crossed.

Auriga Gold Provides Further Assay Results from its Confirmation Drill Program at the Maverick Gold Project, Manitoba; Including 4.7 meters of 7.85 g/t Gold
TORONTO, ONTARIO June 22, 2011 - Auriga Gold Corp. (TSX-V: "AIA") ("Auriga Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report the final set of assay results from the Phase 1 and 2 drilling programs at the Maverick Gold Property, located 65 km northeast of Flin Flon, Manitoba. The results from the confirmation drill program will be incorporated into the initial NI 43-101 resource estimate, currently being prepared by P&E Mining Consultants and expected to be completed in early summer.

The Puffy Lake Deposits consists of a number of east-dipping, parallel, mineralized vein structures including the Upper, Sheridan, Main and Lower Zones. Four drill holes (A3-08, A3-10, A3-11, and A3-13) reported in this release were confirmation holes that tested areas of the historic (Non- NI 43-101) resource blocks contained in the Puffy Lake deposit. Specifically, A3-10 tested the Lower Zone in the southern area of the Puffy Lake deposit and intersected 4.78 meters grading 7.85 g/t gold. While, A3-13 tested the Upper Zone in the central area and intersected 1.56 meters grading 10.48 g/t gold.

A second set of four drill holes (A3-38, A3-39, A3-40, and A3-41) tested the near surface mineralization associated with Main and Lower Zones in the northern area of the Puffy Lake deposit. Hole A3-39 intersected three gold bearing veins, including 5.05 meters grading 4.79 g/t gold. This result combined with previously announced intersections in hole A3-36 with 1.72 meters grading 28.41 g/t gold and A3-37 with 2.20 meters grading 16.25 g/t gold (press release dated May 17, 2011) confirm significant near surface mineralization in this section of the deposit. One hole (A3-35) tested the near surface projection of the Sherridon Zone in the central area of the deposit.

Richard Sutcliffe, Auriga Gold's CEO, commented, "Our initial drill program on the Puffy Lake deposit successfully confirmed gold mineralization in the resource blocks identified by the previous operators. We are very pleased with the consistency and continuity of the mineralized vein structures and the high gold grades intersected. This new data will be combined with the historical drill results to complete an NI 43-101 resource estimate and mineralization model".

AIA.v/AGRDF.pk(.40), Auriga Gold Intersects Near Surface Mineralization Including 5.0 Meters Grading 6.59 g/t Gold at Maverick Gold Project, Manitoba

Press Release Source: Auriga Gold Corp. On Tuesday April 12, 2011, 6:30 am EDT
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - April 12, 2011) - Auriga Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:AIA - News; "Auriga Gold" or the "Company") reports encouraging results from drilling at the Company's Maverick Gold Project, including initial results from the Phase 2 drilling program to test near-surface gold mineralization. The Maverick Gold Project, located 65 km northeast of Flin Flon, Manitoba, includes the past-producing Puffy Lake Mine and Mill, the adjacent Nokomis Property, and staked mining claims covering a total of 6,640 hectares (66.4 km2).

Drill hole A3-03 was drilled to confirm previously defined resource blocks in the northern area of the Puffy lake deposit on section 1000N. A3-03 identified two 1.50 meter wide zones grading 7.73 g/t and 7.88 g/t gold. The hole completes the confirmation drilling on this section of the existing deposit, which has shown excellent continuity and grade (See press releases dated March 7 and March 24, 2011).

Richard Sutcliffe, Auriga Gold's President and CEO stated, "We continue to demonstrate continuity of high-grade gold mineralization at the Puffy Lake deposit; and now plan to establish near-surface gold resources that could potentially contribute to a rapid restart of the past producing mine. The Maverick Gold Project has excellent location and infrastructure and we expect to quickly establish a mine development plan at Maverick Gold."

Holes A3-16 to A3-23 were drilled in the southern area of the Puffy Lake deposit to test near surface gold mineralization southeast of the mine portal in the vicinity of section 325N. A highlight includes A3-16 which intersected 5.0 meters grading 6.59 g/t gold from a depth of 8.20 meters. To date, mineralization in these holes has been less consistent than the northern section of the deposit. However, additional assay results are pending on a further six holes from this area which is one of three near surface targets that is being evaluated in the Phase 2 drilling campaign.

In 1993, Kilborn Engineering Pacific Ltd. estimated that the property contained probable resources of 1,346,200 tonnes of mineralization @ 8.57 g/t Au and possible resources of 833,700 tonnes @ 7.15 g/t Au. The resource was estimated as part of a 1993 feasibility study prepared for Pioneer Metals and uses a cut-off grade of 3.5 g/t Au and a minimum mining width of 1.2 metres. The Maverick Gold Project is located in the Flin Flon Greenstone Belt of Central Manitoba.
NI 43-101: A qualified person has not done sufficient work to verify the historical resource estimates at Puffy Lake and Nokomis. These historic estimates predate NI 43-101, are not compliant with current definitions, have not been verified by the company and consequently should not be relied on by investors. The historical estimates are provided as an indication of historically reported estimates.
Qualified Person
The Company’s Qualified Person (“QP”) for the drill program at the Maverick Gold Project is Bruce Mackie, P.Geo. As QP, Mr. Mackie has prepared or supervised the preparation of the scientific or technical information for the property and has verified the data disclosed in this press release.
Sample Preparation, Analyses and Security
The assay and sample information as well as geological descriptions are taken from drill logs as prepared by the project geologists for the drill program. All drill cores are NQTW in size and assays are completed on split or sawed half-cores, with the second half of the core kept for future reference. The samples are put into rice bags which are sealed with security locks for shipping directly to Accurassay Laboratories, an accredited assay laboratory, in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The samples are analysed using standard fire assay procedures with an AA/ICP finish, using 50g aliquots. Assay results greater than 2.50 gram per tonne will be rerun using a gravimetric finish. In addition to the standard quality control of the laboratory, a series of blanks and standards are inserted in every shipment for quality control purposes.
