Aurania Receives Assays on the Mont Chemin Gold Project

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 3, 2013) - Aurania Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AOZ) ("Aurania" ) is pleased to report that it has received all assay results from the initial exploration drill program on the Mont Chemin gold project in Switzerland. The program consisted of 1390 metres of diamond drilling in 12 holes designed to test surface showings and induced polarization geophysical anomalies. A map of drill hole locations can be found at http://auraniaresources.com/news/picture-map-of-mt-chemin-project/. The following are all intervals assaying 1gram per tonne ("g/t") or better gold.

The following are all intervals assaying 2g/t or better silver.

The mineralized drill holes are concentrated in the Scheelite, Crevace, and Vouillamoz pit areas. Though there are no historical records of production, it would appear that there are some small mine dumps and collapsed shafts in the area that may be related to past gold mining. These may be as old as the iron mining, which was carried out during the Middle Ages in several areas of Mont Chemin. The gold-silver mineralized system is genetically and spatially related to a high-level felsic porphyry intrusive, which shows disseminated and vein-hosted fluorite, barite and scheelite mineralization as well as pyrite in pods and disseminations. A conspicuous feature of the drill holes is disseminated scheelite (calcium tungstate CaWO₄) which is fluorescent under ultraviolet light, across intervals of up to several metres. Scheelite always occurs with at least trace gold, but can also be in zones lacking any silver. The economic significance of scheelite, which is the main ore mineral of tungsten, has still to be assessed. Samples returned up to a maximum of 1430 ppm tungsten.

Assay results for the Siviez uranium-copper-gold project initial four holes are still pending.

Dr. Keith Barron, Chairman and CEO reports "Our Mont Chemin drilling has proven that the high grade gold and silver mineralization seen at surface can be intersected at depth. It remains for us now to establish the geometry and continuity of the various zones through more drilling."

In addition to the drill samples, four grab samples from two separate sphalerite (zinc) skarns at Mont Chemin were submitted for ICP-MS analysis and returned up to 88.4 parts per million of indium. Indium is a specialty metal used primarily for thin-film coatings of LCD (liquid crystal display) panels on computer screens. It is also a reflectant used in solar panels. Indium is currently quoted at circa $600US per kilogram. To date very little work has been done by Aurania on the zinc occurrences but this will be rectified in light of this new information.

Drill intervals of interest were split using a diamond saw and one half retained for reference purposes. All samples were analyzed at ALS Minerals OMAC Laboratories, Loughrea, Ireland. ALS Minerals is an ISO 9001 accredited assay laboratory, and introduces quality control samples (Certified Reference Materials, Duplicates and Blanks) with all sample batches. In addition, Aurania staff inserted certified reference materials in the sample stream as part of QA-QC protocol. Gold and silver assays were carried out on a 50 gram charge using a 4-acid digestion and fire assay with an atomic adsorption (AA) finish.
