Aurelius Minerals Inc. continued to report high-grade results from its Aureus East Gold Project in Nova Scotia, Canada with the release of results from four drill holes. The Company is drilling at the Aureus East Project to define a new gold mineral resource and continues to expand mineralization upon the success of the Phase 1 and Phase 2 program results. The holes reported were from four surface pads, focused on expanding mineralization along strike to the east and at depth, resulting in continued identification of previously overlooked gold horizons and an expanding limb system.

Highlights from Aureus East surface drilling include: Hole AE-21-040: 0.65m at 40.3 grams per tonne gold, ("g/t"), from 160.0 metres ("m"); 1.0m at 11.1 g/t gold from 236.0m; 0.75m at 12.2 g/t gold from 248.75m; and, 0.9m at 11.0 g/t gold from 268.25m. Hole AE-21-041: 1.65m at 19.8 g/t gold from 207.50m, including 0.65m at 49.4 g/t gold from 208.5m Current and Upcoming On-site Activities: Having completed Phase 2 drilling at Aureus East, the near-term focus has shifted to a recently initiated underground channel sampling and mapping program. Aurelius believes there is considerable opportunity to identify continuous mineralization directly adjacent to the existing underground development infrastructure.

Channel sampling in the underground drifts, where saddle reefs are exposed, will be the priority in this area. The sampling program will include the walls and floor in multiple gold zones which already contain known gold mineralization. The results will be incorporated into the geological interpretation of the gold zones as part of the upcoming mineral resource estimate for Aureus East.

Nordmin Engineering has been retained to prepare the mineral resource estimate which is expected later in the first quarter of 2022. Moncton, New Brunswick. Sample preparation occurs at ALS in Moncton where samples are weighed, dried, crushing one kilogram to 70% less than two millimeters and then pulverized to create a one- kilogram sample with 85% less than seventy-five microns.

Potential high-grade gold samples are sent for metallic screen fire assay and remaining material is assayed for 50-gram fire assay and samples grading more than 100 parts per million have a gravimetric finish performed. When visible gold is encountered the Company samples both halves of the core. The remaining coarse reject portions of the samples remain in storage if further work or verification is needed.

The Company inserted control samples (accredited gold standards, blanks and duplicates) at least every 20 samples and monitors the control samples inserted by ALS.
