Abstract
(CCNMatthews - March 13, 2007) - Aurelian Resources Inc. (TSX:ARU) today announced that Dr. Richard Sillitoe, an independent international consultant and one of the world's leading experts on epithermal gold systems, recently carried out a second study of the company's wholly-owned Fruta Del Norte (FDN) gold-silver epithermal deposit in south-eastern Ecuador. The results of his latest visit are summarized in a geological report entitled "Further Comments on Geology and Potential of the Fruta Del Norte Epithermal Gold Deposit, Ecuador". The report is not a 'Technical Report' as defined by NI 43-101. The report, as well as Dr. Sillitoe's earlier report from August 2006, may be viewed at www.aurelian.ca.
- Two additional exploration targets for Fruta del Norte-type gold deposits occur nearby: a 20-km- long belt south of Fruta del Norte and the preliminarily tested Puente-Princesa prospect on the opposite corner of the fault-bounded basin to Fruta del Norte. By analogy with Fruta del Norte, arsenic and antimony anomalism in conglomerate and associated rock types should provide a reliable vector to underlying gold mineralization, although the linkage may not be as direct as previously assumed.
