(TSXV: AUL) (OTCQB: AURQF) (the \"Company\" or \"Aurelius\") is pleased to report assay results for the eighth, ninth and tenth underground drillholes from its Aureus East Gold Project located in Nova Scotia, Canada. The reported holes were drilled from the second underground drill pad and were designed to expand the gold zones towards the west. All three holes encountered multiple high grade gold horizons and intersected the expanding Gold Zone 9 (see Figure 1).Drilling continues at Aureus East with two rigs. The underground (u/g) rig is currently on the 900 level which is approximately 160 metres (m) below surface and targeting expansion of the new gold zones towards the west and at depth. The second rig is on surface at the second pad targeting expansion of the gold mineralization into the southern legs from surface down to approximately 300m depth. Today the Company is reporting results for the next three holes from the underground drilling, which includes AE-21-011 (eighth u/g hole), AE-21-013 (ninth u/g hole) and AE-21-015 (tenth u/g hole).
