Aurelio Acquires Nearly 77,000 Feet of Valuable Drill Core.

LITTLETON, Colo. -- Aurelio Resource Corporation (OTCBB:AULO) is pleased to report the acquisition of 76,780 feet of drill core from 95 holes in the Turquoise Mining District. These holes were drilled by Santa Fe Minerals, Inc. (now part of Newmont Mining) and Great Gray Resources Co. between 1987 and 1990. The drill core had been stored at a private ranch in Tombstone, AZ. Aurelio's land position encompasses virtually all the ground previously drilled by these companies with a current total of 2,607 acres. The material was acquired for a nominal cost.

This acquisition is beneficial because it will provide geologic information and assay data where none existed before. This discovery represents a considerable savings in drilling cost, which could well have exceeded $3 million as well as taken up a substantial amount of the company's time in having to complete this drilling.

In many intervals of the drill holes, zinc and oxide mineralization of copper and zinc were ignored and can now be examined and assayed. New assay results could also provide a more definitive boundary between leachable and non-leachable resources of copper and zinc.

In addition, it is anticipated that the assay results will significantly increase the overall copper-zinc-silver and gold resources of the Hill Copper-Zinc Project.

About the Company

Aurelio Resource Corporation is a mineral exploration and development company focused on achieving mid-tier producer status. The Company's wholly owned Hill Copper Project is located east of Tucson, AZ, and contains a number of potentially low-cost, bulk-tonnage, open-pit-mineable deposits close to surface containing significant amounts of copper, zinc, silver and gold. Presently, the in-house calculated resource for the entire Hill project is estimated by the Company to be nearly 800 million pounds of copper at a copper equivalent grade of 0.65% (copper and zinc combined). Aurelio has also acquired the rights to explore, and an option to purchase, the Gavilanes gold porphyry deposit in Durango, Mexico.

Legal Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements 

Statements in this news release that are not historical are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this news release include: that the acquisition of nearly 77,000 feet of drill core carried out by two previous explorers provide a significant cost savings in drilling expenditure and time savings; that new assay results could also provide a more definitive boundary between leachable and non-leachable resources of copper and zinc; and that assay results will significantly increase the overall copper-zinc-silver and gold resources of the Hill Copper-Zinc Project.

It is important to note that the Company's actual outcomes may differ materially from those statements contained in this press release. Factors which may delay or prevent these forward-looking statements from being realized include misinterpretation of data; that we may not be able to keep our qualified personnel; that our estimates of mineral resources are inaccurate; that we may not be able to get equipment or labor as we need it; that we may not be able to raise sufficient funds to complete our intended exploration, purchase, lease or option payments; that our applications to drill may be denied; that weather, logistical problems or hazards may prevent us from exploration; that analysis of data cannot be done accurately and at dept; that results which we have found in any particular location are not necessarily indicative of larger areas of our property; and that despite encouraging data there may be no commercially exploitable mineralization on our properties. Readers should refer to the risk disclosures outlined in the Company's most recent 10-KSB and 10-QSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
