AURELIO REPORTS ADDITIONAL NEAR-SURFACE, HIGH-GRADE OXIDE
MINERALIZATION FROM THE SOUTH COURTLAND AREA OF THE HILL COPPER-ZINC PROJECT, ARIZONA
LITTLETON, COLORADO, September 26, 2007 News Release #07-18
The Board of Directors of
Aurelio Resource Corporation (the “Company”) (OTCBB: AULO,
Frankfurt: F3RA) is pleased to announce additional results (see News Releases
#07-12 and #07-13) from the Company's on-going drilling program in the South
Courtland Area of its wholly-owned Hill Copper-Zinc Project, located in the
Turquoise Mining District of Cochise County, Arizona.
Below is a summary of the
assay results for the first three holes drilled in August, 2007. These are in
the vicinity of the Highland Mine in the South Courtland
area. The first two holes, BR-07-11 and -12, fan out from holes that step out approximately
200 feet from previously known mineralization.

Hole BR-07-13 was drilled
200 feet to the south in the up-dip direction from previous holes on the same
section as Newmont’s hole NCTR-01. The Newmont hole intercepted 30 feet
of 1.34% Cu from 352 to 382 feet. The Company believes that these results are
significant because they expand the Company’s near surface resource
potential in the South Courtland area.
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 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.

Notice Regarding Forward Looking Statements
Statements
in this news release that are not historical are forward-looking statements. Forward
looking statements are statements that are not historical facts and are
generally, but not always, identified by the words "expects",
"plans", "anticipates", "believes", "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; that our
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%; and that a significant additional mineralization of shallow oxide
copper and zinc has been identified in the South Courtland
area.
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 10-KSB and 10-QSB filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
