Drilling has commenced at Thor’s Valley. Aurania has commenced a six-hole, approximately 770-meter diamond drilling program at the Thor’s Valley gold project in Iceland. The program is expected to take about one month. Five holes will twin historical holes to validate previously reported high-grade intercepts using modern drilling and standards, while a sixth will test a new target associated with surface rock chip boulders grading up to 102 grams per tonne (g/t) gold.

Thor’s Valley has a history of high-grade gold. Historical mining between 1911 and 1924 identified a productive vein approximately one meter wide and at least one kilometer long, with grades ranging from 11 g/t to 315 g/t gold. More recent exploration has reinforced the project’s high-grade characteristics, with 32 holes drilled in 2005 and 2006 returning results of up to 415.4 g/t gold, and another 11 holes completed in 2020 returning grades of up to 113 g/t gold.

Aurania Resources (AUIAF) – Near-Term Catalysts and Outlook

Strategic Shift to Europe. Aurania has repositioned its exploration strategy from Ecuador toward Europe, where it is advancing gold and critical metals opportunities in Iceland, Italy, and France. The company’s Lost Cities project in Ecuador remains geologically prospective, but exploration is suspended because of uncertainty surrounding Ecuador’s Mining Service Fee (TASA) and unpaid concession fees. Meanwhile, Aurania may earn up to a 70% interest in Iceland’s Thor’s Valley gold project, is evaluating nickel and cobalt recovery from the Balangero tailings project in Italy, and is advancing three exploration permits in Brittany, France.

Near-Term Catalysts. The most immediate catalyst is drilling at Thor’s Valley, where Aurania has commenced an initial six-hole, 770-meter program to verify historically high-grade gold mineralization and test extensions of the system. Additional catalysts include permitting for sonic drilling and bulk sampling at Balangero, advancement of exploration targets in France, and resolution of obligations associated with Ecuador’s Mining Service Fee. Confirmation that a TASA exemption applies retroactively to 2025 could materially reduce Aurania’s liabilities and influence whether it retains or restructures its Lost Cities concession portfolio.

Strategic partnership. Aurania Resources Ltd. entered into a definitive earn-in agreement with St-Georges Eco-Mining Corp. (CSE: SX) and its subsidiary Iceland Resources to advance the Thormodsdalur gold project (Thor’s Valley) in Iceland. Located near Reykjavik, the project is considered a highly prospective epithermal gold system, and the partnership is intended to support a structured exploration program aimed at defining its resource potential.

Key agreement terms. Under the agreement, Aurania will issue shares valued at US$150.0 thousand and commit to USD $5.0 million in exploration spending over four years in order to earn a 70% interest in the project. St-Georges retains the option to hold a minority interest or a royalty, while Aurania may increase its ownership to full control through additional investment. We expect the transaction to close in early May pending the satisfaction of certain conditions, including approval by the TSX Venture Exchange. We will update our estimates to reflect planned expenditures once the transaction closes.

Aurania Resources (AUIAF) – Making Progress at the Balangero Green Nickel Project

Recent assay results confirm strong nickel-cobalt grades. Aurania reported results from 28 new samples at the Balangero Nickel-Cobalt Project in northern Italy, returning nickel values between 1,560 and 2,015 parts per million (ppm) and averaging 1,763 ppm, along with 81.5 to 108 ppm cobalt and 16.2 to 146 ppm copper. These results align with more than 200 historical samples and validate the presence of awaruite, a nickel-iron alloy suitable to be used as a direct source of furnace feed for stainless steel production or processed downstream EV battery-grade nickel sulphate production. Notably, samples from development rock piles were confirmed to be asbestos-free, potentially expanding the resource base beyond tailings.

A differentiated alternative to greenfield peers. Unlike comparable awaruite-focused projects, which require full mine development, Balangero’s potential resource consists primarily of dry-stacked, pre-crushed tailings and surface rock already extracted from the ground. This eliminates the need for drilling, blasting, and underground haulage. The project benefits from electric power, rail access, highway connectivity, and an available skilled workforce, positioning it as a potentially accelerated development opportunity with significant cost advantages.

Advancing a multi-project portfolio. Aurania is advancing two projects in France: a gold exploration project in Brittany and a nickel recovery project in Corsica. Aurania is also evaluating the recovery of nickel and cobalt from the waste tailings of the former Balangero asbestos mine near Turin, Italy. The projects in Corsica and Italy offer significant environmental benefits for the nearby communities, along with the economic benefit of recovering valuable critical metals. In Ecuador, the company is having productive discussions with government officials to advance its project while pursuing potential strategic partnerships.

Exploration Licenses in Brittany. Aurania, through a wholly owned French subsidiary, was granted three exploration licenses for polymetallic metals, including gold, in the Brittany Peninsula of northwestern France. The three license areas, Epona, Taranis, and Belenos, are in southern Brittany and northern Pays de la Loire in France. Aurania is in the process of identifying all the landowners to seek their support for exploration.

Exploration Licenses Granted in Brittany. Aurania, through a wholly owned French subsidiary, has been granted three new exploration licenses for polymetallic metals, including gold, in the Brittany Peninsula of northwestern France. It represents a new opportunity for Aurania in a stable mining jurisdiction with developed infrastructure. Initial mining inventory studies conducted by the French Geological Survey (BRGM) confirmed the presence of gold associated with strategic metals over more than 150 kilometers along a shear zone.

Precious and Strategic Metals. The permits allow Aurania to explore the South American Shear Zone, a major crustal fault where mineralization, including antimony, tungsten, tin, zinc, and copper, accompanied by gold and other metals, have been deposited. The Brittany Peninsula is a highly prospective area that can be considered a greenfield district. Aurania will proceed with stakeholder engagement, while advancing preparations for an airborne geophysical survey and subsequent field activities.

Aurania Resources (AUIAF) – Establishing a Toehold in Critical Metals

Potential critical metals recovery project. Aurania Resources Ltd. executed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Society for the Remediation and Environmental Development of the former Balangero asbestos mine, otherwise known as RSA, and Firestone Ventures Inc. Dr. Keith Barron, Aurania’s Chief Executive Officer and director, is the President and Director of Firestone. The MOU allows for data collection and sampling of tailings at the former Balangero mine, which operated from 1916 to 1990, and is near Turin, Italy. Aurania will evaluate the tailings to recover nickel and cobalt, two critical metals for electric battery production.

Pathway to a commercial agreement. The MOU has a one-year term, and if results prove favorable, the parties are expected to enter into a commercial agreement to extract metals from the waste piles. Firestone would then conduct carbon capture on the waste stream, using industrial carbon dioxide to neutralize the contained asbestos and convert it into a useful form of carbon. Aurania and Firestone have exclusive access to the site for this evaluation.
