(TSXV: AUL) (OTCQB: AURQF) (the \"Company\" or \"Aurelius\") is pleased to continue to report high-grade results from its flagship 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 today 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. Aurelius' President and CEO, Mark N.J. Ashcroft, P.Eng said: \"Today's drill results demonstrate the strong continuity along strike, allowing for an expansion of the gold zones, along strike to the east, in width to the south and at depth. Surface holes stepped to the east and south show that the mineralization remains open, intersecting gold at surface to more than 500m below surface. We are encouraged by the continuity, the widths and the grades of our intercepts as we conceptualize the minability of the mineralized system. In our continuing efforts to increase our understanding of the project geology we have consistently encountered high grade gold intersections within a broadly mineralized and substantial gold system. We have completed 49 holes, along with two wedge holes, with a 100% success rate of intersecting mineralization in two phases. We completed, over 12,000m in Phase 2 of our drill program. With Phase 2 drilling at Aureus East now complete, we anticipate further results from the lab over the coming weeks. This will help further delineate the deposit as we work towards our updated resource on Aureus East later this quarter.\" Figure 1: Core photo showing visible gold along the quartz/argillite contact in hole AE-21-041 at a depth of 208.65m - 0.65m samp...
