Aurelio Resource Corporation is pleased to report that C3 Resources, Inc. (”C3″) has entered into a joint venture agreement with Montezuma Mines Inc. for the North Sleeper gold project, located in Humboldt County, Nevada. North Sleeper is one of ten gold projects in Nevada comprising more than 1,800 unpatented mining claims that were acquired by and assigned to Aurelio from C3 in a transaction that closed on June 15, 2009.

The North Sleeper gold project consists of 52 unpatented mining claims located in Sections 3, 4, 9, 10 and 11 in T40N, R35E that were originally acquired by C3 from CARACOL, a private Nevada company, in a mining lease entered into with C3 on December 7, 2006.

North Sleeper is adjacent to the Sleeper gold mine, which produced over 1.6 million ounces of gold between 1986 and 1996. This project covers the north and northeast extensions of the mine structures, and the land being acquired by Aurelio has the potential to host high-grade vein and bulk mineralization similar to the Sleeper and Midas gold mines.
