Aurania is pleased to report that further stream sediment sampling and geological mapping has increased the number of targets in the Latorre area to five, from the two previously reported. The chemical signature and geological features of these targets are typical of the upper parts of epithermal gold-silver systems. Aurania’s management believes that alluvial gold discovered in stream gravel 2 kilometres from Aurania’s exploration concession boundary has been eroded from the Latorre area.

Aurania wishes to inform shareholders that members of the Board and Management will be attending the Cambridge House Vancouver Resource Investment Conference that starts on Sunday this weekend and runs through Monday (January 21 and 22, 2018). The Company’s Booth is No 208, and the Company’s President will be participating in the panel discussion on Gold in Ecuador from 2:20-2:40pm in Workshop Room 4 on Monday, January 22.

Aurania Resources Ltd. announces that following the press release issued by the Company on January 4, 2018, it came to the attention of management that an independent third-party article about Aurania was published by E. B. Tucker at The Casey Report just prior to the increase in share price. The Company believes that there could be a correlation with the timing of this report and the increase in share price and trading volume. Aurania did not pay for the article in the Casey Report and was unaware that an article was being prepared for distribution to Casey Report subscribers.
