auratio AG / Acquisition/Alliance 04.02.2009 Release of a Corporate News, transmitted by DGAP - a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The management of Auratio AG is pleased to announce that two further gold mining projects in Mexico are ready for due diligence. The first project is located in the state of Sonora. The site lies in the Southwest of Hermosillo and comprises 3.500 ha. Available exploration results in the first part of this area show a resource potential of nearly 200.000 ounces of gold.This deposit is explored, recognized but not yet certified under NI 43-101. Infrastructure of the territory as well as machinery and other heavy equipment is available. Roads and transportation routes in the area are fully developed. Sufficient well trained and motivated staff is available for production to start. The first mine will go into full operation within 6 months. There are 7 further mines in that area, an option for their purchase has been submitted. Exploration results are only partly available at the moment, however, similar excellent results can be expected due to the geological structure of the area. Should the exploration results of the first very positive findings be confirmed, we talk about a truly lucrative investment project. A second project is located in Los Azufres.In this volcanic area silicate is even now being extracted in a geothermally highly active terrain. In addition to silicate, concentrations of gold of two to five grams per ton were discovered in further geological explorations. The infrastructure (water supply, electricity, transportation routes) is guaranteed on account of a geothermal state electricity facility situated in the neigbourhood. Further explorations are currently under way, after completion of which a further due diligence will be initiated, followed by detailed negotiations about an investment on the part of Auratio AG. Because of the active participation of Auratio AG, the mining companies are looking for a synergy effect and access to potential investors in Western Europe. The know-how of other existing partnerships of Auratio AG will be useful for the application of environmentally friendly methods for extracting precious metals in existing and future mining company projects. The management of Auratio AG is convinced that the favourable pre-conditions plus internal forecasts as to the availability of raw material as well as processing and procuction costs will provide a very profitable opening for a partnership project in Mexico.
