Not for distribution to United States newswire services or for dissemination in the United States
Toronto, Ontario, October 31, 2022 – Aurania Resources Ltd. (TSXV: ARU ; OTCQB: AUIAF;
Frankfurt: 20Q) (“Aurania” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it intends to complete a
non-brokered private placement financing of up to 4,444,444 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price
of C$0.45 per Unit for total gross proceeds to the Company of up to C$2,000,000 (the "Offering").
Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (a " Common Share") and one Common
Share purchase warrant (a " Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Common
Share (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of C $0.75 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months
following the closing of the Offering.
Update on Planned Drill Program
Detailed interpretation of the Anaconda method mapping at Aurania’s Tatasham porphyry target in
southeastern Ecuador is nearing completion and the first few drill holes are being defined for a drill program
expected to commence in the latter half of November or early December 2022.
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Keith Barron commented, “ Our water,
environmental, community relations and technical teams are on track with the many tasks required ahead
of this drill program . Tatasham is the Company’s largest geophysical feature identified in the airborne
magnetic survey that was conducted over the Project area in 2017. I have been wanting to drill Tatasham
for quite some time and I suspect that once we start drilling here, we will begin to have a better
understanding of what we may have at depth.”
The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for drilling and exploration of the Company's Lost Cities-
Cutucu Project in southeastern Ecuador and for general working capital.
