MONTREAL, Feb 23, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) --
Aurus Corporation. (OTC: AURC) announced today that it has signed a
letter of intent to acquire the Klyon "Maple" Gold ore deposit
located in the territory of Bilibinsk of Chukchi National district in
Russia.

"This one has not been easy to lock up due to the amount of large
Canadian and US-based multinationals wanting a piece of the Klyon ore
deposit," said Mr. Feldbush, Chief Operating Officer of Aurus Corp.
"The estimated gold and silver reserves in the Klyon deposit
potentially make it our single most prized asset yet with over 1.9
million ounces of gold and 4.9 million ounces of silver and with gold
still moving beyond the $550 per ounce and with experts predicting
$1000 per ounce, this deposit can become our cash-cow for the next 30
years," further added Mr. Feldbush.

The company expects to sign the acquisition agreement by or before
March 10 and release preliminary technical data by the end of March
and release complete geological reports by end of April to early May.
