Aurelio Intercepts 165 feet Averaging 2.30% Zinc and 18.25 ppm Silver
At Hill Copper-Zinc Project, Arizona
LITTLETON, COLORADO, November 16, 2007 News Release #07-23
Aurelio Resource Corporation (OTCBB : AULO, Frankfurt : F3RA) is pleased to announce further results from recent infill 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 grades in drill hole BR07-27 are significantly higher than the average grades reported in the CAM mineralized material inventory (see Aurelio's October 30, 2007 news release). The latest results, shown in Table 1, exceed the grades reported from surrounding holes drilled in the late 1980s by Santa Fe Pacific Mining, Inc.

Chalcocite blanket
Hole BR07-27 bottomed in ore-grade mineralization, with the final five-foot assay interval (460 to 465 feet [ft]) averaging 0.88% zinc and 3.4 parts-per-million (ppm) silver.
Aurelio's geologists regard this drill hole as typical of the geology of the MAN Area deposit, with a well-defined chalcocite blanket overlying a higher-grade sulfide ore zone.
Drill hole BR07-27 intercepted an area of the deposit with both significantly higher zinc and silver grades in the underlying sulfide (carbonate replacement) zone, as well as a much thicker and higher-grade chalcocite zone nearer the surface.
The MAN Area mineralized zone remains open along strike and at depth.
Gold assay results for drill hole BR07-27 are pending.
Drilling is continuing in a previously unexplored area between the South Courtland and MAN areas of the Project where strong alteration and turquoise veining has been observed at the surface.
Lightning cracks the blackened sky,
Hear the thunder chariot ride
All brave men with hearts of war
Ride the path of mighty Thor
