(TSXV: ARU) (OTCQB: AUIAF) (FSE: 20Q) (\"Aurania\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce it has been granted three new exploration licenses for polymetallic metals including gold, in the Brittany Peninsula of northwestern France through a wholly-owned French subsidiary of the Company. President and CEO, Dr. Keith Barron commented, \"The French government's decision to grant us these permits is an excellent opportunity for Brittany and the Pays de la Loire to gain a deeper understanding of their subsurface resources and for France to find new sources of metals to secure the country's supplies through exploration to be conducted by Company. It also marks a new opportunity for Aurania in a jurisdiction where institutional stability and high-quality infrastructure make exploration safe and more efficient than other areas in the world. The initial mining inventory studies conducted by the French Geological Survey (BRGM) confirmed the presence of gold associated with strategic metals over more than 150 km along the shear zone, and in some cases at exceptional grades. This demonstrates the strength of the hydrothermal activity that occurred in the region.\"Aurania announced the filing of an exploration permit named Epona back in 2023 (see press release dated July 24, 2023). Subsequently, in October 2023, the Company submitted two additional applications, Taranis and Bélénos, covering areas of 359.5 km² and 440.9 km² respectively. These areas are located in southern Brittany and northern Pays de la Loire in France (see map in Figure 1 below).Since antiquity, Brittany has been an important producer of metals in Europe - supplying tin and gold to the Roman Empire, then base metals and silver during the Middle Ages, and later tin, antimony, and uranium during the Industrial Revolution. Despite this long history, no exploration has been conducted in the region since the 1980s, leaving its significant potential largely unexplored. With more than four decades of advances in exploration technologies, the application of modern exploration techniques potentially positions the Brittany Peninsula as a highly prospective area that can be considered a greenfield district.The purpose of t...
