Aurelius Minerals Inc. reported the final of high-grade results from its Aureus East Gold Project in Nova Scotia, Canada from six drill holes and two wedge holes. The company is drilling at the Aureus East Project to define a new gold mineral resource (expected early in the second quarter) and continues to expand mineralization upon the success of the Phase 1 and Phase 2 program results. The results reported on February 22, 2022 were from four underground holes, two surface holes and two wedge holes.

Mineralization was expanded into the limb system, laterally to the north and south and at depth, resulting in continued identification of previously overlooked gold horizons. Update on 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 includes the walls and floor in multiple gold zones, which already contain known gold mineralization, and its 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 updated mineral resource estimate, expected by early in the second quarter of 2022.
