(TSX VENTURE:AU) (\"Aurion\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report on the discovery of multiple new gold prospects over a greater than 5 km distance at its 100% owned Launi East Project in northern Finland.    \nHighlights:\n248 rock sample assays received to date assayed as high as 313 g/t Au and averaged 18.9 g/t Au Multiple new mineralized zones over 1.0 by 5.5 km area, with 10 new visible gold occurrences Mineralization associated with strong alteration from 10 to > 100 metres wide Assays have been received for 248 samples to date, > 650 rock sample assays pending Trenching, ground geophysics and detailed mapping are underway No documented history of mineral exploration or mineral claims in the area Property straddles a major flexure along the Sirkka Shear Zone Click the link below for maps and photos: https://aurionresources.com/site/assets/files/1302/220819launifigures.pdfSummary\nFollow-up of the 2018 discovery of gold mineralization at Aurion's wholly owned 4,250-hectare Launi East Project has resulted in the discovery of several new zones of gold mineralization over a north-south distance of 5.5 km within a 1.0 km wide corridor. Strong alteration, locally from 10 to > 100s metres wide, comprising fuchsite, tourmaline, sericite, iron oxide and iron-carbonate is associated with the gold mineralization.  \nIndividual zones can be traced for > 100 to 300 m in outcrop and sub-outcrop and are generally several metres wide.  Approximately 900 rock grab samples were collected within this 5.5 km2 area. Overburden (glacial till) cover is generally < 2 m thick within this area.\nPartial assays have been received from two of these new zones, over a distance of approximately 700 m. Two hundred and fourteen (214) of the two hundred and forty-eight (248) rock sampl...
