Aurelius Minerals Inc. reported assay results from the nine-hole surface drilling element of the Phase 1 exploration program, and the final two holes of the Phase 1 underground drilling program, at the Aureus East Gold Project located in Nova Scotia, Canada. The surface drilling was focused on expanding the footprint of the mineralization along strike, width and at depth. The Company specifically targeted the limb structures and has confirmed the presence of high-grade gold in the steeply dipping limbs. All nine surface drill holes intersected gold mineralization, as did the two underground holes. Aureus East Phase 1 Drilling - Summary of Successes: Confirmed a significant gold system on the property, tripling the depth and identifying over 30 discreet gold horizons to below 900m; Identified gold in sediment hosting wall rocks around the veins, traditionally viewed as non-mineral bearing, resulting in broader and more extensive gold zones than previously modelled; Identified longer, more extensive limbs than traditionally modelled, which provides a new target area for additional growth; Southern limbs confirmed to be at least 100m long; previously believed to only extend ~10-15m); Width of the gold system is now at least 200m across strike (building volume); Isolated historical hits confirmed and now incorporated into southern leg model with much greater continuity and extension of legs than previously interpreted; and, Drilling has started to intersect gold in under-drilled northern limbs. Hole AE-20-007 encountered 0.5m at 21 g/t gold in the floor below underground drill Pad 2 and at least eight high grade zones including; 2m @ 132.4 g/t gold 32m @ 2.91 g/t gold (new zone @ 245m below the drift) including 0.6m @ 55.8 g/t gold; and 0.8m @ 22.6 g/t gold; and 1.0m @ 21.8 g/t gold. AE-21-011 intersected 3.0m @ 17.4 g/t gold (Zone 9) including 1.0m @ 43.3 g/t gold 14.2m @ 5.32 g/t gold (Zone 10) AE-21-013 intersected 2.9m @ 13.3 g/t gold (Zone 9) including 1.0m @ 28.6 g/t gold 2.7m @ 15.1 g/t gold (Zone 10) including 1.0m @ 39.7 g/t gold AE-21-015 intersected 5.7m @ 9.42 g/t gold (Zone 9) including 1.7m @ 28.8 g/t gold (Zone 9) ZONE 9, newly discovered: Intersected 10 times during Phase 1 (9 times underground and 1 time from surface); 5 intervals above 25 g/t gold (including two samples greater than 120 g/t gold); and 2 more intervals above 9 g/t gold; During Phase 1 ZONE 9 was intersected over an 80m strike length. Extensive gold mineralization adjacent to underground development demonstrates significant opportunities for the Company as they identified an under-drilled, under-assayed and misunderstood asset, encountering: Gold in the floor of the drift at Pad 2; Multiple new high-grade zones have been identified including Zones 9 and 10; Existing underground development didn't not excavate, and appears to "miss", significant gold hits identified in historical drilling database. The Company continues to systematically sample historical drill core stored on the property to identify gold mineralization and also continues to find un-assayed gold mineralization in these holes.
