Aurelio Intercepts 130 Feet Averaging 2.2
Grams of Gold per Metric Ton and 45 Feet of 7 Grams of Gold per Metric Ton at
MAN Area of Hill Copper-Zinc Project, Arizona
LITTLETON, COLORADO, January 8, 2008 News Release #08-01
Aurelio
Resource Corporation (OTCBB : AULO, Frankfurt : F3RA) is pleased to announce
gold assay results from recent drilling in the MAN Area of the Company's wholly
owned Hill Copper-Zinc Project, located in the Turquoise Mining District,
Cochise County, Arizona.
The fire
assay results reported in Table 1 correspond to previously-released copper,
zinc, and silver assay information for drill holes BR07-24 and -26 (see
November 8, 2007 news release).

Drill hole
BR07-25 was assayed for gold between the depths of 235 and 450 feet to
determine the gold content of a previously-reported copper/zinc/silver assay
interval (175 feet at 1.45% copper, 0.45% zinc and 1.8 parts-per-million (ppm)
silver, including 100 ft averaging 2.29% copper, 0.11% zinc and 1.8 ppm
silver). Gold assay results were 125 parts-per-billion (ppb) and 160 ppb,
respectively, over these intervals. The strongest gold intercept came below
this interval, with an average of 188 ppb between 410 feet and 450 feet.
Gold assays
for holes BR07-27 and BR07-28 are pending.
The
results indicate the presence of significant gold mineralization at the MAN
Area.
The
Company’s geologists believe that there are probably multiple phases of
gold deposition at the Hill project. Establishing the distribution and nature
of the gold mineralization will be a primary focus of the next drilling
program, scheduled for the first quarter of 2008.
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-Zinc Project, 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. The Company recently 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,

"intends," "estimates," "projects,"
"aims," "potential," "goal,"
"objective," "prospective," and similar expressions, or
that events or conditions "will," "would," "may,"
"can," "could" or "should" occur. Information
inferred from the interpretation of drilling results and information concerning
mineral resource estimates may also be deemed to be forward looking statements,
as it constitutes a prediction of what might be found to be present when and if
a project is actually developed. Forward-looking statements in this news
release include that our property 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.
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 funds expected to be received may not be; that our estimates of
mineral resources are inaccurate; uncertainties involved in the interpretation
of drilling results and other tests and the estimation of resources; 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 depth; 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 Form 10-KSB and
Form 10-QSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
