LATEST DRILLING RESULTS ESTABLISHES LINK BETWEEN MAN & SOUTH COURTLAND AREAS OF HILL COPPER-ZINC PROJECT





LITTLETON, COLORADO, January 17, 2008 News Release #08-02



Aurelio Resource Corporation (OTCBB : AULO, Frankfurt : F3RA) today announced results from recent exploratory drilling between the MAN and South Courtland areas of the Company's wholly-owned Hill Copper-Zinc Project, located in the Turquoise Mining District, Cochise County, Arizona.



As shown in Table 1 below, drill holes BR07-33 and BR07-34 demonstrate significant thicknesses and economic grades of zinc-silver-copper mineralization in a previously un-drilled area between the South Courtland and MAN zones. The decision to drill in this area was based on surface reconnaissance mapping that noted pervasive turquoise veining.

Hole BR07-34 (located southeast of BR07-33) bottomed in copper-silver mineralization (the final five feet graded 0.21% copper, 0.10% zinc and 1.1 grams silver per metric ton), but had to be abandoned at a depth of 285 feet due to water inflows. The Company plans to re-drill and deepen this hole at a future date.



Additionally, the Company reports assay results for drill hole BR07-32, which was drilled as a step-out to hole BR07-18. The results (shown in Table 2), further extends the broad zone of zinc-silver mineralization running through the South Courtland area.

These results validate the geologic model developed by the Company's geologists, as well as demonstrating the continuity of mineralization within the South Courtland area.
