Aurelius Minerals Files Technical Report
The Company also announces that Company has filed a technical report for the Aureus West Property (the "Property"), located in Nova Scotia, that was acquired on May 4, 2020. The Aureus West technical report is available on the Company's profile at www.sedar.com and on the Company's website at www.aureliusminerals.com.
The Company retained Global Mineral Resource Services to prepare and address the technical report to Aurelius, based on historical work and the technical report previously filed by a prior owner of the Property. Other than updates to reflect Aurelius' acquisition of the Property and non-material clerical changes, the content of the technical report is consistent with the technical report filed by a prior owner on SEDAR. While the Company has begun planning and has initiated some work on the Property, the Company has not completed any additional substantive work on the Property since acquisition.
