(TSXV: ARU) (OTCQB: AUIAF) (FSE: 20Q) (\"Aurania\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce it has applied for an exploration license in the Brittany Peninsula of northwestern France through a wholly-owned French subsidiary. The concession area, which includes Hennebont in the Morbihan Department, has historically been the site of significant high-grade gold finds. Placer gold in streams is present in the vicinity of the area. In December 2022, a very large and high-grade gold specimen was displayed at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle (Natural History Museum) in Paris, France. Museum staff estimates this sample of 3.31 kilograms weight to contain one kilo of gold; it is considered the highest-grade gold sample currently known in France (Figure 1). It consists of vuggy coarse white quartz and native gold. Gold within the vugs is crystalline in nature (Figure 2). The sample is displayed next to a dendritic crystalline gold sample from the same locality (Figures 3 and 4).  Figure 1: High-grade gold specimen in the Natural History Museum, Paris, estimated to contain one kilogram of gold. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2477/174547_d9e16cdb44239bf0_001full.jpg   Figure 2: Vug in the quartz vein sample, approximately one centimetre across, containing drusy quartz and crystalline native gold. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2477/174547_d9e16cdb44239bf0_002full.jpg   Figure 3: Gold sample displayed next to a dendritic crystalline gold sample from the same locality. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2477/174547_d9e16cdb44239bf0_003full.jpg   Figure 4: Description of gold sample at the Natural History Museum in Paris. \"Native gold in quartz vein, piece of vein containing more than 1 kilogram of gold, largest sample found in France kept as is, Bank of France deposit (loan)\". To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2477/174547_d9e16cdb44239bf0_004full.jpgAurania's team became aware of the sample ...
