Aurelius Minerals Inc. reported results from its underground channel sampling program at its Aureus East Project in Nova Scotia, Canada. Channel sampling programs have now been completed in three underground areas, with results justifying a continued channel sampling program throughout the existing underground development and infrastructure. The current sampling program supplements the ongoing mineral resource estimate work and enhances the expanding interpretation of the project's geology. An updated mineral resource estimate is expected in the coming weeks. Channel Sampling Results: Significant gold mineralization identified in each of the three areas of channel sampling; 944 level demonstrates substantial gold was left in the ground in the floor and walls of the development. 11 of 23 channels have samples grading over 30 g/t gold; 16 of 23 channels have samples grading over 15 g/t gold; Sampling covered approximately 46m of strike length of the zone: 0.5m grading 501 g/t Au in channel 944L-023; 0.5m grading 121 g/t Au in channel 944L-017; 0.65m grading 90.1 g/t Au in channel 944L-002; 0.5m grading 78.0 g/t Au in channel 944L-021; Based on the positive results, the program has been expanded to include an additional 13 channels and 26m of strike length. Aurelius completed 21,700m of diamond drilling at the Aureus East project in the Phase 1 and 2 programs. A combination of 21 holes drilled from underground and 30 holes, including 2 wedged holes, from surface have resulted in a near doubling of the drilling database. Aurelius also sampled considerable historical core and employed a thorough sampling protocol to capture all gold mineralization in holes drilled. This database supports the geological model which defines the mineral
resources being estimated at the project.
