Aurelius Minerals Inc. announced initial assay results from the first three holes at its Aureus West Gold Project located in Nova Scotia, Canada. Holes are from Pad One, the furthest west of the three pads utilized in the 2020 drilling program. All holes intersected significant gold mineralization and new gold horizons were identified to a depth of 500 metres ("m") below surface, well below the current resource depth of approximately 150m. The Aureus West Project is located approximately one kilometre south from the Aureus East Gold Project. Ten holes were completed, totaling approximately 4,600m, in the 2020 drilling program. Further to experience gained on the Aureus East Project, where the gold mineralization typically includes a significant coarse gold component, as shown in Figure 1; there are situations where the assayed grade does not reflect anticipated values, based on visual assessments. The company also encountered this same coarse gold component on the Aureus West Project. Ordinarily, core is split by saw to retain half for storage, and it is possible that the visible gold is not sampled. As such, the company is now sending both sides of the core for assay. On the Aureus East Project, initial results from 21 samples indicate that overall average assay values are significantly increased when the complete sample is sent to the lab. The company is also looking to drill larger diameter holes providing larger samples sizes going forward. The Aureus West gold exploration program is focused on growing gold resources which occur in stacked saddle reef quartz veins which follow the folded host rocks. The gold mineralization tends to exhibit thicker intersections along the fold axis of the anticlines. The system extends in an east-west direction and is replicated in a series of horizons to depth. To date the Company has confirmed that these horizons continue to a depth of at least 500m where the system remains open. Historical work indicates that the Aureus West gold mineralization continues for over 1.9km towards the west, and is also open in that direction. The eastern margin of the gold mineralization is constrained by the Harrigan- Cove fault, a significant regional structure. From the Aureus West gold trend, the Harrigan-Cove fault extends to the north west and separates the Aureus West and East gold systems, which are offset by approximately 1km of displacement. Aurelius has developed and implemented compliant precautions and procedures that are in line with guidelines for the Province of Nova Scotia. Protocols were put in place to ensure the safety of employees and contractors, thereby reducing the potential for community contact and spreading of the virus.
