AURELIO ANNOUNCES MANAGEMENT CHANGES





LITTLETON, COLORADO, January 31, 2008 News Release #08-03



Aurelio Resource Corporation (OTCBB: AULO, Frankfurt: F3RA) is pleased to announce that David Stafford Johnson, Esq. has been appointed Executive Chairman of the Company, replacing Dr. Frederik W. Warnaars. Dr. Warnaars, one of the Company's founders, has stepped down as Chairman, but will remain a Director.



Surveying of the extensive land position at the Hill Copper-Zinc Project being acquired from the Rae family (see news release dated August 15, 2007) has been completed and final closing and transfer of title is anticipated to occur within the next two weeks.



The Board has also unanimously adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan, subject to the approval by shareholders at the Company's next Annual Meeting. The Shareholder Rights Plan is designed to protect all shareholders of the Company against potential acquirers who may pursue coercive or unfair tactics aimed at gaining control of the Company without paying all shareholders of the Company a full and fair price. The Company will file a copy of the Shareholder Rights Plan with the Securities and Exchange Commission and this will be accessible via the EDGAR database at www.sec.gov. The Shareholder Rights Plan will also be posted on the Company's website.
