Aurelio Completes Non-Brokered Equity Financing with European Institutional Investors

Aurelio Resource Corporation (OTCBB:AULO)(FWB:F3RA) is pleased to
announce that the Company has entered into a USD 1,000,000 equity
financing agreement with European institutional investors ("the
Investors"). The Company will issue 3,333,334 Units, with each Unit
equal to one common share and one warrant; each warrant permits the
holder to purchase one additional common share at USD 0.50/share for
five years.

The parties intend that this financing will be the first tranche
in a long-term strategic alliance between the Company and the
Investors. The Company intends to focus on exploring and developing
the wholly-owned Hill Copper-Zinc Project in Arizona, while the
Investors have indicated a willingness to lead efforts to fund these
work programs and general working capital requirements. The Company
and the Investors are in discussions concerning the terms of such a
strategic alliance.

The parties believe that an alliance of the mining expertise of
the Company´s management and the financial expertise and funding
capacity of the Investors will prove to be a valuable long-term
strategic alliance, allowing the Company´s management to focus on the
development needs of its projects. The faith of the Investors in the
proposed strategic alliance is also based on an independent assessment
of the Company´s precious and base metal assets.

No fees or commissions are payable in regards to this financing.

About the Company

Aurelio Resource Corporation is a mineral exploration company
focused on fast-track development of its wholly-owned Hill Copper-Zinc
Project, which the Company believes contains a number of low-cost,
bulk-tonnage, open-pit-mineable deposits close to surface containing
significant amounts of copper, zinc, silver and gold. The Company has
previously announced an independent estimate of the mineralized
material at the MAN Area of the Project totaling 63.8 million tons at
an average grade of 0.56% copper-equivalent. Aurelio has also acquired
the rights to explore, and an option to purchase, the Gavilanes gold
porphyry deposit in Durango, Mexico.
