Vancouver, BC – Aurelius Minerals Inc. (TSX.V: AUL) (the “Company” or “Aurelius”) announces that it has entered into an agreement with Sprott Capital Partners and Clarus Securities to act as Co-lead agents (the “Agents”) to complete a brokered placement offering (the “Offering”) to sell common share units (“Common Share Units”) at a price of $0.08 per Common Share Unit and flow-through share units (“Flow-Through Share Units”) at a price of $0.09 per Flow-Through Share Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $2.5 million.

Each Common Share Unit shall consist of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share”) and one common share warrant (“Common Share Warrant”). Each Flow-Through Share Unit shall consist of one flow-through share of the Company and one Common Share Warrant. Each Common Share Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.16 per Common Share for a period of five (5) years following the closing of the Offering (the “Common Share Warrant Expiry Date”).

A maximum of 31.25 million units are issuable under the Offering, which assumes that the maximum gross proceeds are raised through the issuance of Common Share Units only.

As additional consideration for the services of the Agents, the Company agrees to grant to the Agents compensation options entitling the Agents to subscribe for that number of Units equal to 8.0% of the aggregate number of Offered Securities sold under the Offering (at the respective Flow-Through Units and Unit prices).

The net proceeds from the Offering will be used by the Company for the upcoming field programs and general working capital purposes. Upcoming field programs are expected to follow-up on several target areas warranting additional exploration in the Abitibi Gold belt and to include detailed geochemical sampling, ground geophysical surveying and drilling.
