PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This prospectus summary highlights selected information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. You should read the following summary together with the more detailed information regarding our company and the shares of common stock being sold in this offering, which information appears elsewhere in this prospectus.

Our Business

We are an exploration stage company engaged in the exploration of mineral properties and we may also, from time to time, acquire additional mineral properties to explore. Our company was incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 19, 2004. Effective June 16, 2006, we changed our name from “Furio Resources Inc.” to “Aurelio Resource Corporation” and effected a six and one-half (6.5) for one (1) forward stock split of our authorized, issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital increased from 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 487,500,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “AULO”.

On August 17, 2006, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Aurelio Resources, Inc., a privately-owned Colorado corporation engaged in mineral exploration, pursuant to an agreement that we entered into with Aurelio Resources, Inc. and its stockholders dated April 27, 2006, amended on June 9, 2006, amended on July 13, 2006 and further amended on July 21, 2006.

As a result of our acquisition of Aurelio Resources, Inc., we indirectly acquired all of its assets in 2006. In particular, we acquired properties in Arizona, now held through our wholly-owned Arizona subsidiary, Bolsa Resources, Inc., and a 98% interest in Minera Milenium S.A. de C.V., a company incorporated in Mexico, which holds an option to acquire a 100% interest in a property in Mexico. The assets held by Aurelio Resources, Inc. are described below under “Description of Properties”.

Prior to the completion of the acquisition of Aurelio Resources, Inc., we had a 100% interest in twenty-five mineral claims, subject to a 3% net proceeds interest to the State of Alaska. During November 2006, we allowed our interest in the Alaska property to lapse and we have no ongoing interest in that property.

As of the completion of our acquisition of Aurelio Resources, Inc., we held 100% rights to mineral exploration and development on 13 unpatented mining claims in Arizona, referred to as the MAN claims, and an option to earn a 100% interest in the mineral exploration and development of 3 mining claims/concessions covering approximately 1,000 hectares in Durango, Mexico.

By completing Aurelio Resources, Inc.’s purchase agreement of May 16, 2006, we also acquired 30 patented claims on September 18, 2006, referred to as the Courtland claims, in Cochise County, Arizona from Hope Mining and Milling Company through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Bolsa Resources, Inc. We also staked additional unpatented mining claims during late 2006 around the MAN and Courtland claims. We now refer to the Arizona property as the Hill Copper-Zinc Project

On August 15, 2007, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement with the Rae family for 13 patented mining claims, covering approximately 250 acres, located on the north of the MAN area that is part of our wholly-owned Hill Copper-Zinc Project. As part of the transaction, we also acquired approximately 1,037 acres of surface rights covering the entire MAN deposit, with additional surface and mineral rights to the east and west of the deposit. These acquisitions were completed

i


through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Bolsa Resources, Inc. Surveying of the land position was completed in January 2008 and the final closing and transfer of title occurred in February 2008.

Additionally, on August 15, 2007, we reported that we had staked an additional five unpatented BLM lode mining claims, covering approximately 76 acres, to the north and northeast of the MAN deposit. These claims are adjacent to the east of the patented Courtland claims acquired in September 2006.

During 2007, we added to our property interests and database for the Hill Copper-Zinc Project as follows:

  • An option agreement was completed with Newmont Mining Corporation to purchase two of its patented mineral claims.

  • We acquired an extensive exploration file of the Turquoise Mountain Mining District, Cochise County, Arizona, where the Hill Copper-Zinc Project is located including the logs and assay results of 274 holes, drilled by ten different companies between the 1950s and the mid-1990s.

  • In April 2007, through Bolsa Resources Inc., we completed a mineral lease and option agreement with three individual owners of 65 Gold Coin mineral claims and three Arizona State exploration permits. The 65 unpatented Gold Coin claims along with the three Arizona mineral exploration permits cover approximately 1,272 acres. The option agreement included a down payment of $20,000 with additional staged payments spread over four years totalling $1.5 million. In addition, there is a royalty of 1% of production of base metals and 2.5% of production of precious metals.

  • Through Bolsa Resources Inc., we completed the acquisition of 76,780 feet of drill core from 95 holes from prior drilling campaigns around the Hill Copper-Zinc Project in the Turquoise Mining District. The material was acquired for a nominal cost.

  • Through Bolsa Resources Inc., we entered into an agreement with Gold City Inc. to lease and purchase 19 unpatented mining claims in return for annual payments increasing from $20,000 in the first year to $35,000 in the fourth year. We also have an option to purchase these claims for a purchase price of $750,000. Under this agreement, Gold City is also entitled to a sliding scale net smelter return royalty increasing from 1.0% to 2.0% as copper prices increase from $1.50 to $3.50 per pound. This royalty only applies to production from the Gold City properties. As of the end of fiscal year, 2007, the final documentation to effect this agreement had not been executed.

  • In August 2007, we entered into an agreement with the Rae family to purchase 13 patented mining claims (covering approximately 213 acres) located on the north of the MAN area. As part of the transaction, we also acquired approximately 744 acres of surface rights covering the entire MAN deposit and an area to the west of the deposit, with an additional 292 acres of surface and mineral rights to the east of the deposit. These acquisitions were concluded through Bolsa Resources, Inc. The option agreement included a down payment of $10,000 and a further payment of $40,000 before December 31, 2007, with additional staged payments over two years for a total cost of $1.3 million. There is no royalty payable on production from any of the patented mining claims.

  • In September 2007, Bolsa Resources, Inc. entered into an option agreement to acquire surface rights, being town sites on part of the Courtland area, from Kay B. Graham.

  • Through Bolsa Resources, Inc., we staked an additional five unpatented BLM lode mining claims to the north and northeast of the MAN deposit. These claims are adjacent to, as well as to the east of, the patented Hope claims purchased in September of 2006 covering the Courtland area.

  • Through Bolsa Resources, Inc., we also applied for three Arizona State mineral exploration permits covering an estimated 1,320 acres. These state exploration permits are located to the south and southeast of the MAN deposit, and cover projected extensions along strike of high-grade, copper-zinc-silver-gold mineralization.

An independent review of our in-house estimate of mineralized material in the MAN area was completed in October 2007.

Our objective is to pursue deposits of any type of mineral and to develop, sell or otherwise assign the rights to develop the properties if and when any commercially viable deposits of minerals are found on our properties.

ii


Since we are an exploration stage company, there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties and a great deal of further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility of future exploration is determined. We have no known reserves of any type of mineral. To date, we have not discovered an economically viable mineral deposit on any of our mineral properties, and there is no assurance that we will discover one.

Mineral property exploration is typically conducted in phases. Before it is carried out, each subsequent phase of exploration work is recommended by a geologist based on the results from the most recent phase of exploration. We have only recently commenced the initial phase of exploration on the properties held by Bolsa Resources, Inc. and Minera Milenium S.A. de C.V. Once we complete a phase of exploration, we will make a decision as to whether or not we proceed with each successive phase, based upon the analysis of the results of that program. Our directors will make these decisions based upon the recommendations of the independent geologist who oversees the program and records the results.

Even if we complete our proposed exploration programs on our properties and we are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we will know whether we have a commercially viable mineral deposit.

We are interested in exploring for minerals such as copper, gold, silver and zinc on our properties but we are not restricting our exploration to any one type or select types of minerals. We may also seek to acquire other properties for mineral exploration in the United States, Mexico, Latin America or elsewhere.

Risk factors

The offering involves a high degree of risk. Please refer to “Risk Factors” beginning on page 1 for a description of the risk factors you should consider.

Unless otherwise indicated, the share information in this prospectus is based on 40,147,644 shares of common stock outstanding as of April 10, 2008. This number excludes 11,154,944 outstanding warrants granted as of April 10, 2008, at a weighted average exercise price of $0.46 per share and 2,200,000 options granted as of April 10, 2008, at a weighted average exercise price of $0.64 per share.

Private Placement of Convertible Debentures and Warrants

On February 26, 2008, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with five institutional investors pursuant to which we agreed to sell and issue (i) $1,500,000 of debentures convertible into shares of our common stock, (ii) 3,750,000 Series A share purchase warrants and (iii) 4,999,999 Series B share purchase warrants, with each Series A and Series B warrant exercisable into one share of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per common share. We paid a finder’s fee equal to 6% of the value of the transaction, or $90,000, payable in cash, and 3% of the value of the transaction, or $45,000, payable in Series A and Series B warrants, to Rodman & Renshaw, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rodman & Renshaw Capital Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: RODM).

iii


The 10% convertible debentures, which mature on June 30, 2009, are convertible into common shares at a conversion price of $0.30 per common share or a monthly redemption conversion rate at a price that is the lesser of (a) the conversion price of $0.30 or (b) 80% of the volume weighted average price of the shares for the 5 consecutive trading days prior to the monthly redemption date. On this basis, we have made a good faith estimate that the debentures may be converted into up to 7,500,000 shares at a minimum conversion price of $0.20 per share. They begin monthly amortization six months from the date of issue.

Interest accrues on the debentures at the rate of 10% per annum, payable quarterly on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1, beginning on the first such date after the issuance of the debentures, and on each monthly redemption date, on conversion and at the maturity date. Interest is payable, at our option, either (i) in cash, (ii) in shares of common stock at the interest conversion rate as described below, or (iii) in a combination thereof, provided however that (i) payment in shares may only occur if certain equity conditions have been met during the 20 trading days immediately prior to the interest payment date, (ii) we give the debenture holder notice in accordance with the notice requirements set out in the debenture, and (iii) within five days prior to the commencement of the interest notice period, we have delivered said shares to the debenture holder’s account with the Depositary Trust Company.

The rate of conversion of interest into shares shall be the lesser of (a) the conversion price of $0.30 as set out in the convertible debenture or (b) 90% of the lesser of (i) the volume weighted average price for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day that is immediately prior to the applicable interest payment date or (ii) the average of the volume weighted average price for the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day that is immediately prior to the date the applicable interest conversion shares are issued and delivered, if such delivery is after the interest payment date.

If we fail to deliver stock certificates upon the conversion of these debentures at the specified time and in the specified manner, we will be required to make substantial payments to the holders of the debentures. Specifically, if we fail to deliver stock certificates by the third trading day after the conversion date, we shall pay to the holder liquidated damages, in cash, in the amount of $5 per trading day for each $1,000 of principal amount being converted, increasing to $10 per trading day on the fifth trading day after such liquidated damages begin to accrue.

Provided certain equity conditions described in the debentures are met, we may prepay the amounts outstanding on the debentures by giving advance notice and paying an amount equal to the sum of (i) 110% of the then outstanding principal amount of the debenture, (ii) accrued but unpaid interest thereon and (iii) all liquidated damages and other amounts due in respect of the debenture.

These securities were issued pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Sections 4(2) and 4(6) and Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. Shares of our common stock are speculative, especially since we are in the exploration stage of our business. We operate in a volatile sector of business that involves numerous risks and uncertainties. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Other risks and uncertainties, including those that we do not currently consider material, may impair our business. If any of the risks discussed below actually occur, our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows could be seriously harmed. This could cause the trading price of our securities to decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this prospectus in evaluating our company and its business before purchasing shares of our company’s common stock.

Risks Related To Our Business

Our properties are in the exploration stage. There is no assurance that we can establish the existence of any mineral resources on any of our properties in commercially exploitable quantities. Until we can do so, we cannot earn any revenues from operations and if we do not do so, we will lose all of the funds that we expend on exploration.

A mineral reserve is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in its Industry Guide 7 (which can be viewed over the Internet at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/forms/industry.htm#secguide7) as that part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The probability of an individual prospect ever having a "reserve" that meets the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Industry Guide 7 is extremely remote; it is likely that our mineral resource property does not contain any 'reserve' and any funds that we spend on exploration will probably be lost.

Even if we do eventually discover a mineral reserve on one or more of our properties, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop our properties into producing mines and extract those resources. Both mineral exploration and development involve a high degree of risk and few properties which are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.

The commercial viability of an established mineral deposit will depend on a number of factors including, by way of example, the size, grade and other attributes of the mineral deposit, the proximity of the resource to infrastructure such as a smelter, roads and a point for shipping, government regulation and market prices. Most of these factors will be beyond our control, and any of them could increase costs and make extraction of any identified mineral resource unprofitable.

Because of the unique difficulties and uncertainties inherent in mineral exploration ventures, we face a high risk of business failure.

Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. The expenditures to be made by us in the exploration of the mineral claim may not result in the discovery of mineral deposits. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If the results of our exploration do not reveal viable commercial mineralization, we may decide to abandon our claims. If this happens, our business will likely fail.

Because of the speculative nature of exploration of mineral properties, we may never discover a commercially exploitable quantity of minerals, our business may fail and investors may lose their entire investment.

We have been conducting and plan to conduct mineral exploration on our mineral properties. The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. We can provide investors with no assurance that additional exploration on our properties will establish that commercially exploitable reserves of minerals exist on our property. Additional potential problems that may prevent us from discovering any reserves of minerals on our property include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. If we are unable to establish the presence of commercially exploitable reserves of minerals on our property our ability to fund future exploration activities will be impeded, we will not be able to operate profitably and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.

1


Because of the inherent dangers involved in mineral exploration, there is a risk that we may incur liability or damages as we conduct our business.

The search for valuable minerals involves numerous hazards. As a result, we may become subject to liability for such hazards, including pollution, cave-ins and other hazards against which we cannot insure or against which we may elect not to insure. At the present time we have no coverage to insure against these hazards. The payment of such liabilities may have a material adverse effect on our financial position.

The potential profitability of mineral ventures depends in part upon factors beyond the control of our company and even if we discover and exploit mineral deposits, we may never become commercially viable and we may be forced to cease operations.

The commercial feasibility of mineral properties is dependent upon many factors beyond our control, including the existence and size of mineral deposits in the properties we explore, the proximity and capacity of processing equipment, market fluctuations of prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, allowable production and environmental regulation. These factors cannot be accurately predicted and any one or a combination of these factors may result in our company not receiving an adequate return on invested capital. These factors may have material and negative effects on our financial performance and our ability to continue operations.

Exploration and exploitation activities are subject to comprehensive regulation which may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipate, causing an adverse effect on our company.

Exploration and exploitation activities are subject to federal, provincial or state, and local laws, regulations and policies, including laws regulating the removal of natural resources from the ground and the discharge of materials into the environment. Exploration and exploitation activities are also subject to federal, provincial or state, and local laws and regulations which seek to maintain health and safety standards by regulating the design and use of drilling methods and equipment.

Various permits from government bodies are required for drilling operations to be conducted, and no assurance can be given that such permits will be received. Environmental and other legal standards imposed by federal, provincial, or local authorities may be changed and any such changes may prevent us from conducting planned activities or increase our costs of doing so, which would have material adverse effects on our business. Moreover, compliance with such laws may cause substantial delays or require capital outlays in excess of those anticipated, thus causing an adverse effect on us. Additionally, we may be subject to liability for pollution or other environmental damages which we may not be able to or elect not to insure against due to prohibitive premium costs and other reasons. Any laws, regulations or policies of any government body or regulatory agency may be changed, applied or interpreted in a manner which will alter and negatively affect our ability to carry on our business.

As we face intense competition in the mineral exploration industry, we will have to compete with our competitors for financing and for qualified managerial and technical employees.

Our mineral properties are in Arizona and Mexico and our competition there includes large, established mining companies with substantial capabilities and with greater financial and technical resources than we have. As a result of this competition, we may have to compete for financing and be unable to acquire financing on terms we consider acceptable. We may also have to compete with the other mining companies in the recruitment and retention of qualified managerial and technical employees. If we are unable to successfully compete for financing or qualified employees, our exploration programs may be slowed down or suspended, which may cause us to cease operations as a company.

Government regulation may adversely affect our business and planned operations.

We believe our exploration projects currently comply with existing environmental and mining laws and regulations affecting our operations. Our mineral exploration and development activities are subject to various laws governing prospecting, development, taxes, labor standards and occupational health standards, mine safety, toxic substances, land use, water use, land claims of local people and other matters. We cannot assure you that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could limit or curtail further exploration or development.

Legislation has been proposed that could significantly affect the mining industry in the United States of America.

Members of the United States Congress have repeatedly introduced bills which would supplant or alter the provisions of the Mining Law of 1872. If enacted, such legislation could change the cost of holding unpatented mining claims and could significantly impact our ability to develop mineralized material on unpatented mining claims.

A portion of the present Hill Copper-Zinc Project’s land position is located on unpatented mining claims located on U.S. federal public lands. The rights to use such claims are granted under the Mining Law of 1872. Unpatented mining claims are unique property interests in the United States, and are generally considered to be subject to greater title risk than other real property interests because the validity of unpatented mining claims is often uncertain. This uncertainty arises, in part, out of the complex federal and state laws and regulations under the 1872 Mining Law and the interaction of the 1872 Mining Law and other federal and state laws, such as those enacted for the protection of the environment.

In recent years, the U.S. Congress has considered a number of proposed amendments to the 1872 Mining Law. If adopted, such legislation could, among other things:

- impose a royalty on the production of metals or minerals from unpatented mining claims;

- reduce or prohibit the ability of a mining company to expand its operations; and,

- require a material change in the method of exploiting the reserves located on unpatented mining claims.

All of the foregoing could adversely affect the economic and financial viability of future mining operations at the Hill Copper-Zinc Project. Although it is impossible to predict at this point what any legislated royalties might be, enactment could adversely affect the potential for development of such federal unpatented mining claims.

Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing operations and activities of mining and exploration companies, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on our business and cause increases in exploration expenses, capital expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production at producing properties or require abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties.

Our operating costs could be adversely affected by inflationary pressures especially on labor, equipment and fuel costs.

The global economy is currently in a period of high commodity prices and, as a result, the mining industry is attempting to increase production at new and existing projects, while also seeking to discover, explore and develop new projects. This has caused significant upward price pressures in the costs of mineral exploration companies, especially in the areas of skilled labor and drilling equipment, both of which are in tight supply and whose costs are increasing. Continued upward price pressures in our exploration costs may have an adverse impact to our business.

We may be adversely affected by fluctuations in copper, zinc, silver and gold prices.

The value and price of our common shares, our financial results, and our exploration, development and mining, if any, activities may be significantly adversely affected by declines in the price of copper, zinc, silver and gold. Mineral prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control such as interest rates, exchange rates, inflation or deflation, fluctuation in the value of the United States dollar and foreign currencies, global and regional supply and demand, and the political and economic conditions of mineral producing countries throughout the world.

The prices used in making resource estimates for mineral projects are disclosed, and generally use significantly lower metal prices than daily metals prices quoted in the news media. The percentage change in the price of a metal cannot be directly related to the estimated resource quantities, which are affected by a number of additional factors. For example, a 10 percent change in price may have little impact on the estimated resource quantities, or it may result in a significant change in the amount of resources.

Estimates of mineralized materials are subject to geologic uncertainty and inherent sample variability.

Although the estimated resources at our Hill Copper-Zinc Project have been delineated with appropriately spaced drilling, there is inherent variability between duplicate samples taken adjacent to each other and between sampling points that cannot be reasonably eliminated. There also may be unknown geologic details that have not been identified or correctly appreciated at the

3


current level of delineation. This results in uncertainties that cannot be reasonably eliminated from the estimation process. Some of the resulting variances can have a positive effect and others can have a negative effect on mining and processing operations. Acceptance of these uncertainties is part of any mining operation.

Mineral resources and proven and probable reserves are estimates.

Although the mineralized material figures included in this document have been carefully prepared by independent engineers, these amounts are estimates only, and we cannot be certain that specific quantities of copper, zinc, silver, gold or other mineral will in fact be realized. Any material change in the quantity of mineralization, grade or stripping ratio, or mineral prices may affect the economic viability of our properties. In addition, we cannot be certain that metal recoveries in small-scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in larger scale tests under on-site conditions or during production. Until an un-mined deposit is actually mined and processed the quantity of mineral resources and reserves and grades must be considered as estimates only.

Risks Associated With Our Company

We have a history of losses and have a deficit, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have not generated any revenues since our incorporation and we will continue to incur operating expenses without revenues until we are in commercial deployment. Our net loss from incorporation on February 19, 2004 to December 31, 2007 was $4,449,263. We had cash in the amount of $268,410 as of December 31, 2007, although we raised $2.5 million in two separate financings during February 2008. We currently are in the exploration stage and have not found any commercially viable mineral deposits on our properties. We estimate our average monthly operating expenses to be approximately $220,000, before meeting our commitments for ongoing property acquisition and option payments. We cannot provide assurances that we will be able to successfully explore our properties and develop our business. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as described in an explanatory paragraph to our independent auditors’ report on our audited financial statements, dated March 31, 2008. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, investors will likely lose all of their investments in our company.

Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing. If we do not obtain such financing, we may have to cease our exploration activities and investors could lose their entire investment.

There is no assurance that we will operate profitably or generate positive cash flow in the future. We will require additional financing in order to proceed beyond the first few months of our exploration program. We will also require additional financing for the fees we must pay to maintain our status in relation to the rights to our properties and to pay the fees and expenses necessary to become and operate as a public company. We will also need more funds if the costs of the exploration of our mineral claims are greater than we have anticipated. We will also require additional financing to sustain our business operations if we are not successful in earning revenues. We currently do not have any arrangements for further financing and we may not be able to obtain financing on commercially reasonable terms or terms that are acceptable to us when it is required. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing. If we do not obtain such financing, our business could fail and investors could lose their entire investment.

Because we may never earn revenues from our operations, our business may fail and then investors may lose all of their investment in our company.

We have no history of revenues from operations. We have never had significant operations and have no significant assets. We have yet to generate positive earnings and there can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. Our company has a limited operating history and is in the exploration stage. The success of our company is significantly dependent on the uncertain events of the discovery and exploitation of mineral reserves on our properties or selling the rights to exploit those mineral reserves. If our business plan is not successful and we are not able to operate profitably, then our stock may become worthless and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.

Prior to completion of the exploration and pre-feasibility stages, we anticipate that we will incur increased operating expenses without realizing any revenues. We therefore expect to incur significant losses into the foreseeable future. We recognize that if we are unable to generate significant revenues from the exploration of our mineral claims in the future, we will not be able to earn profits or continue operations. There is no history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we can provide no assurance that we will generate any revenues or ever achieve profitability. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will fail and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.

Risks Associated With Our Common Stock

We do not intend to pay dividends on any investment in the shares of stock of our company.

We have never paid any cash dividends and currently do not intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. To the extent that we require additional funding currently not provided for in our financing plan, our funding sources may prohibit the payment of a dividend. Because we do not intend to declare dividends, any gain on an investment in our company will need to come through an increase in the stock’s price. This may never happen and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.

Our stock is a penny stock. Trading of our stock may be restricted by the Securities and Exchange Commission's penny stock regulations, which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.

Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standard risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

The exercise of options and warrants, conversion of our existing debentures and the future issuances of common stock will dilute the ownership of current stockholders and may reduce the market price of our common stock.

As of December 31, 2007 we have a substantial amount of outstanding options and warrants, which, combined with other shares and the convertible debentures and warrants issued subsequent to year-end, if completely exercised, would dilute existing stockholders’ ownership by approximately 46%. While some of our outstanding warrants and options are exercisable at prices in excess of the current market price of our common stock, if our share price increases substantially and these securities are exercised, then stockholders may experience substantial dilution of book value per share of our common stock. The issuance of additional securities may also reduce the market price of our common stock. Based on the need for additional capital to fund further exploration of our properties, it is likely that we will issue additional securities to provide such capital, and that such additional issuances may involve a significant number of shares, some of which may be offered at a discount to the current market price.

The price of our common stock has a history of volatility, which may prevent stockholders from realizing a profit from their investment during particular time frames.

The market price for shares of our common stock may be highly volatile depending on news announcements or changes in general market conditions. In recent years, the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. From January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2007, our stock closed in a range from a high of $1.75 to a low of $0.06 per share. Such volatility may cause large swings in the value of a stockholder’s investment in us.

We have change in control provisions that discourage a corporate takeover and could deprive stockholders of opportunities to sell at temporarily higher prices.

On January 18, 2008, our board of directors adopted a Stockholder Rights Agreement (subject to ratification by stockholders at our next annual general meeting), designed to protect and maximize the value of our outstanding equity interest in the event of an unsolicited attempt by an acquirer to take us over, in a manner or on terms not approved by our board. Takeover attempts frequently include coercive tactics to deprive a corporation’s board of directors of the opportunity to negotiate or otherwise act in the best interest of its stockholders. Our board believes these tactics often deprive stockholders of the full value of their shares. The Stockholder Rights Agreement, however, may have the effect of rendering more difficult, or discouraging, any acquisition of us deemed undesirable by our board. The Stockholder Rights Agreement will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire us on terms or in a manner not approved by our board, except pursuant to an offer conditioned upon the elimination, purchase or redemption of the rights provided for in the Stockholder Rights Agreement which expires on January 17, 2013.

FINRA’s sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (see above for a discussion of penny stock rules), Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) rules require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objective and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that their is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

  • the future price of zinc, copper, gold, silver, or other minerals.

This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect our forward-looking statements. Some of the important risks and uncertainties that could affect forward-looking statements are described further under the sections titled "Risk Factors", "Description of the Business" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis" of this prospectus. We may note additional factors elsewhere in this prospectus and in any documents incorporated by reference. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. We disclaim any obligation to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock being offered for sale by the selling stockholders, although we may receive proceeds of up to $910,886.20 if all of the Series B share purchase warrants are exercised. We plan to use the net proceeds from the sale of the warrants, if exercised, to further explore and develop our wholly-owned Hill Copper-Zinc Project and for general corporate purposes, including working capital. We will pay for all costs associated with this registration statement and prospectus.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have not declared or paid any cash dividend since incorporation. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for use in the operation and expansion of our business, and do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. There are no restrictions that limit our ability to pay dividends on our common stock.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders are shares that may be issued upon conversion of convertible debentures issued February 26, 2008 and upon exercise of Series B warrants issued in connection with the convertible debentures. The convertible debentures and Series B warrants were issued pursuant to a securities purchase agreement we entered into with the five institutional investors named in the table below.

The 10% convertible debentures, which mature on June 30, 2009, are convertible into common shares at a conversion price of $0.30 per common share or a monthly redemption conversion rate at a price that is the lesser of (i) the conversion price of $0.30 or (ii) 80% of the volume weighted average price of the shares for the five consecutive trading days prior to the monthly redemption date. On this basis, we have made a good faith estimate that the debentures may be converted into up to 7,500,000 shares at a minimum conversion price of $0.20 per share.

The Series B warrants are exercisable as of February 26, 2008 for eighteen months at an exercise price of $0.35 per share of common stock.

We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of convertible debentures and the warrants issued pursuant to the securities purchase agreement, to the best of our knowledge, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years. Because the selling stockholders may offer all or only some portion of the 10,102,497 shares of common stock to be registered, we cannot give an exact estimate of the amount or percentage of the shares of common stock that will be held by the selling stockholders upon termination of this offering.

This prospectus generally covers the resale of (i) up to 7,500,000 shares that may be issued upon conversion of the convertible debentures and (ii) up to 2,602,532 Series B warrant shares issuable upon exercise of the Series B warrants. Because the rate of conversion under the terms of the convertible debentures may be adjusted, we can only make a good faith estimate of the possible conversion price, which we have determined to be $0.20 per share. As such, the number of shares that will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus.

Under the terms of the convertible debentures and the Series B warrants, a selling stockholder may not convert the convertible debentures or exercise the Series B warrants to the extent that such conversion or exercise would cause such selling stockholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock that exceeds 4.99% of our

7


then outstanding shares of common stock following such conversion or exercise. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering, as described below in the section entitled “Plan of Distribution”.

(1) The number of common stock listed as beneficially owned by such selling stockholder represents the number of shares of common stock currently owned and potentially issuable to such selling stockholder upon the exercise of warrants, conversion of convertible debentures into shares and conversion of interest payments under the convertible debentures into shares. For these purposes, any contractual or other restriction on the number of securities the selling stockholder may own at any point has been disregarded.

(2) Assumes all of the shares of common stock offered are sold. The number of shares beneficially owned by each selling stockholder after the offering consists of shares that may be issuable upon exercise of up to an additional 2,397,467 Series B warrants at an exercise price of $0.35 per share and shares that may be issuable upon exercise of up to 3,750,000 Series A warrants at an exercise price of $0.35 per share that were also issued in connection with the issuance of the convertible debentures on February 26, 2008.

(3) Based on 40,147,644 common shares issued and outstanding on April 10, 2008. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. Shares of common stock subject to options, warrants and convertible debentures currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible within sixty (60) days, are counted as outstanding for computing the percentage of the person holding such options, warrants or convertible debentures but not counted as outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person.

(4) Mitchell P. Kopin, the president of Downsview Capital Inc., the general partner of Cranshire Capital, L.P., has sole voting control and investment discretion over securities held by Cranshire Capital, L.P. Each of Mitchell P. Kopin and Downsview Capital, Inc. disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by Cranshire Capital, L.P.

We may require the selling stockholders to suspend the sales of the securities offered by this prospectus upon the occurrence of any event that makes any statement in this prospectus or the related registration statement untrue in any material respect or that requires the changing of statements in these documents in order to make statements in those documents not misleading.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each of the selling stockholders and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

8


  • ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

  • block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

  • purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

  • an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

  • privately negotiated transactions;

  • settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

  • broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

  • through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

  • a combination of any such methods of sale; or

  • any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA NASD Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASD IM-2440.

In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).

We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Because selling stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be

9


sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the selling stockholders.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the selling stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

INTEREST OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL

No expert or counsel named in this prospectus as having prepared or certified any part of this prospectus or having given an opinion upon the validity of the securities being registered or upon other legal matters in connection with the registration or offering of the common stock was employed on a contingency basis or had, or is to receive, in connection with the offering, a substantial interest, directly or indirectly, in the registrant or any of its parents or subsidiaries. Nor was any such person connected with the registrant or any of its subsidiaries as a promoter, managing or principal underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer or employee.

EXPERTS

On November 1, 2007, our auditors, Mason Russell West, LLC merged with, and changed their name to, Haynie & Company. Our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 included in this registration statement and prospectus have been audited by Haynie & Company to the extent and for the period set forth in their report (which contains an explanatory paragraph regarding our company’s ability to continue as a going concern) appearing elsewhere in this registration statement and prospectus, and are included in reliance upon such report given upon the authority of said firm as experts in auditing and accounting.

Clark Wilson LLP, our independent legal counsel, has provided an opinion on the validity of our common stock, which opinion is attached as an exhibit to this prospectus and registration statement.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES TO BE REGISTERED

As of April 10, 2008, there were 40,147,644 shares of our common stock and no preferred shares issued and outstanding. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “AULO”.

We are authorized to issue 487,500,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation, the holders of common stock are entitled to share rateably in all net assets available for distribution to stockholders after payment to creditors. The common stock is not convertible or redeemable and has no preemptive, subscription or conversion rights. There are no conversions, redemption, sinking fund or similar provisions regarding the common stock. Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. There are no cumulative voting rights.

Each stockholder is entitled to receive dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for dividends and, in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of our assets after payment of liabilities. Our board of directors is not obligated to declare a dividend. Any future dividends will be subject to the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon, among other things, future earnings, the operating and financial condition of our company, its

10


capital requirements, general business conditions and other pertinent factors. It is not anticipated that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable future.

On January 18, 2008, our board of directors adopted a Stockholder Rights Agreement (subject to ratification by stockholders at our next annual general meeting), designed to protect and maximize the value of our outstanding equity interest in the event of an unsolicited attempt by an acquirer to take us over, in a manner or on terms not approved by our board. The Stockholder Rights Agreement will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire us on terms or in a manner not approved by our board, except pursuant to an offer conditioned upon the elimination, purchase or redemption of the rights provided for in the Stockholder Rights Agreement which expires on January 17, 2013.

At the same time, our board of directors authorized and declared a dividend distribution of one right for each share of our common stock outstanding at the close of business on February 7, 2008 and for common shares issued at such other times as described in a rights agreement dated as of January 18, 2008 between our company and Empire Stock Transfer Inc. as rights agent. Each right represents the right to purchase one share of common stock on terms and conditions as set out in the rights agreement at an initial exercise price of $5.00, subject to adjustment from time to time as specified in the rights agreement.

Penny Stock Rules

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.

INFORMATION WITH RESPECT TO THE REGISTRANT

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Corporate History

We are an exploration stage company engaged in the exploration of mineral properties and we may also, from time to time, acquire additional mineral properties to explore. We were incorporated on February 19, 2004, in the state of Nevada under the name “Furio Resources Inc.”. Effective June 16, 2006, we changed our name from “Furio Resources Inc.” to “Aurelio Resource Corporation” and effected a six and one-half (6.5) for one (1) forward stock split of our authorized, issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital increased from 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 487,500,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001.

On August 17, 2006, we completed our acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Aurelio Resources, Inc., a privately-owned Colorado corporation engaged in mineral exploration, pursuant to an agreement among our company, Aurelio Resources, Inc. and the stockholders of Aurelio Resources, Inc., dated April 27, 2006, as amended on June 9, 2006, amended on July 13, 2006 and further amended on July 21, 2006.

As a result of our acquisition of Aurelio Resources, Inc., we indirectly acquired all of its assets in 2006. In particular, we acquired properties in Arizona, now held through our wholly-owned Arizona subsidiary, Bolsa Resources, Inc., and a 98%

11


interest in Minera Milenium S.A. de C.V., a company incorporated in Mexico, which holds an option to acquire a 100% interest in a property in Mexico. The assets held by Aurelio Resources, Inc. are described below under “Description of Properties”.

On September 28, 2006, we changed our fiscal year-end from May 31 to December 31. For the year prior to May 31, 2006 and up to the acquisition of Aurelio Resources, Inc. in August 2006, our company had essentially been dormant.

On September 11, 2007, our board of directors adopted new by-laws for our company that substantially changed the dissent rights of our stockholders and altered the by-laws in a number of other respects. This alteration was disclosed on our current report on Form 8-K, filed on September 21, 2007.

Our Current Business

Prior to the completion of the acquisition of Aurelio Resources, Inc., we had a 100% interest in twenty-five mineral claims, subject to a 3% net proceeds interest to the State of Alaska. During November 2006, we allowed our interest in the Alaska property to lapse and we have no ongoing interest in that property.

As of the completion of our acquisition of Aurelio Resources, Inc., we held 100% rights to mineral exploration and development on 13 unpatented mining claims in Arizona, referred to as the MAN claims, and an option to earn a 100% interest in the mineral exploration and development of 3 mining claims/concessions covering approximately 1,000 hectares in Durango, Mexico.

In completing Aurelio Resources, Inc.’s purchase agreement of May 16, 2006, we also acquired 30 patented claims on September 18, 2006, referred to as the Courtland claims, in Cochise County, Arizona from Hope Mining and Milling Company through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Bolsa Resources, Inc. We also staked additional unpatented mining claims during late 2006 around the MAN and Courtland claims. We now refer to the Arizona property as the Hill Copper-Zinc Project.

In March, 2007, through Bolsa Resources Inc., we entered into an agreement with Gold City Inc. to lease and purchase 19 unpatented mining claims in return for annual payments increasing from $20,000 in the first year to $35,000 in the fourth year. We also have an option to purchase these claims for a purchase price of $750,000. Under this agreement, Gold City is also entitled to a sliding scale net smelter return royalty increasing from 1.0% to 2.0% as copper prices increase from $1.50 to $3.50 per pound. This royalty only applies to production from the Gold City properties. As of the end of fiscal year, 2007, the final documentation to effect this agreement had not been executed.

In April 2007, we completed an option agreement with a subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation, whereby we acquired the option to purchase two patented mining claims covering 30 acres adjacent to our MAN claims for a purchase price of $100,000, payable in four equal instalments of $25,000 upon each of signing and six, nine and 12 months after the signing of the purchase agreement, whereupon the option will be exercised and the properties purchased. We made the fourth and final $25,000 payment in March 2008. Newmont will receive a 1% net smelter returns royalty on the patented claims.

Concurrently with the Newmont transaction, we acquired an extensive exploration file of the Turquoise Mountain Mining District, Cochise County, Arizona, where the Hill Copper-Zinc Project is located including the logs and assay results of 274 holes, drilled by ten different companies between the 1950s and the mid-1990s.

In April 2007, we completed a mineral lease and option agreement with three individual owners of 65 “Gold Coin” mineral claims and three Arizona State Exploration Permits on the Hill Copper-Zinc Project in Cochise County, Arizona. The “Gold Coin” claims and the three exploration permits form one continuous block of claims covering 1540 acres. These new properties are all located to the south and southeast of our MAN claims. The option agreement includes an initial payment of $20,000 with additional staged payments spread over four years, totaling $1.5 million. In addition, we are required to pay a royalty of 1% of production of base metals and 2.5% of production of precious metals.

Through Bolsa Resources Inc., we completed the acquisition of 76,780 feet of drill core from 95 holes from prior drilling campaigns around the Hill Copper-Zinc Project in the Turquoise Mining District. The material was acquired for a nominal cost.

In August 2007, we entered into an agreement with the Rae family to purchase 13 patented mining claims (covering approximately 213 acres) located on the north of the MAN area. As part of the transaction, we also acquired approximately 744 acres of surface rights covering the entire MAN deposit and an area to the west of the deposit, with an additional 292 acres of surface and mineral rights to the east of the deposit. These acquisitions were concluded through Bolsa Resources, Inc. The

12


option agreement included a down payment of $10,000 and a further payment of $40,000 before December 31, 2007, with additional staged payments over two years for a total cost of $1.3 million. There is no royalty payable on production from any of the patented mining claims.

Additionally, on August 15, 2007 we announced that through Bolsa Resources, Inc., we had staked an additional five unpatented BLM lode mining claims to the north and northeast of the MAN deposit, covering approximately 76 acres. These claims are adjacent to, as well as to the east of, the patented Hope claims purchased in September of 2006 covering the Courtland area. Through Bolsa Resources, Inc., we also applied for three Arizona State mineral exploration permits covering an estimated 1,320 acres. These state exploration permits are located to the south and southeast of the MAN deposit, and cover projected extensions along strike of high-grade, copper-zinc-silver-gold mineralization.

On September 24, 2007 Bolsa Resources, Inc. entered into a purchase option agreement with Kay B. Graham for the purchase of approximately 90% of land known as the Courtland Townsite lots. These lots are real property interests held by fee simple in the Courtland Townsite area. Bolsa paid $25,000 as payment for the option which extends until January 31, 2010. The full purchase price of $125,000 is payable within 30 days of Bolsa giving notice and the option payment will be deducted from the purchase price.

On October 30, 2007, we announced the receipt of an independent report prepared by Chlumsky, Armbrust & Meyers, LLC. Details of the report are described below under the heading “Resource Evaluation – Hill Copper-Zinc Project”.

On March 26, 2008, the Company announced that Bolsa had entered into an agreement to acquire 20 patented mining claims (the "Viewsites claims") in the Turquoise Mining District of Cochise County, Arizona. The Viewsites claims are located to the west and southwest of the MAN Area that is part of the Hill Copper-Zinc Project. These claims encompass an estimated 363 acres (survey pending) and incorporate projected extensions of the MAN Area mineralization. Bolsa will acquire the Viewsites claims with staged payments totaling $950,000 over thirty months. Closing is scheduled to occur by August 1, 2008 following completion of a detailed survey of the 20 patented mining claims.

Our plan of operation is to explore for minerals such as copper, gold, silver and zinc on our properties but we are not restricting our exploration to any one type or select types of minerals. We may also seek to acquire other properties for mineral exploration in the United States, Mexico, Latin America or elsewhere.

Our objective is to pursue deposits of any type of mineral and to develop, sell or otherwise assign the rights to develop the properties if and when any commercially viable deposits of minerals are found on our properties.

Since we are an exploration stage company, there is no assurance that a commercially viable mineral deposit exists on any of our properties and a great deal of further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility of future exploration is determined. We have no known reserves of any type of mineral. To date, we have not discovered an economically viable mineral deposit on any of our mineral properties, and there is no assurance that we will discover one.

Mineral property exploration is typically conducted in phases. Before it is carried out, each subsequent phase of exploration work is recommended by a geologist based on the results from the most recent phase of exploration. We have only recently commenced the initial phase of exploration on the properties held by Bolsa Resources, Inc. and Minera Milenium S.A. de C.V. Once we complete a phase of exploration, we will make a decision as to whether or not we proceed with each successive phase, based upon the analysis of the results of that program. Our directors will make these decisions based upon the recommendations of the independent geologist who oversees the program and records the results.

Even if we complete our proposed exploration programs on our properties and we are successful in identifying a mineral deposit, we will have to spend substantial funds on further drilling and engineering studies before we will know whether we have a commercially viable mineral deposit.

Employees

We have no employees on the payroll, but as of April 11, 2008, we have five officers who are also directors and two officers who are not directors, who all provide services for a portion of their time under consulting contracts. We also have three part-time contract support staff providing various services in our corporate office. We have retained, and intend to retain, independent geologists and consultants on a contract basis to conduct the work programs on the mineral properties.

Offices

We rent office space at 5554 South Prince Street, Littleton, Colorado for $2,058 per month, including utilities, with a commitment through June 2008. We also rent housing and office space in Elfrida, Arizona for $1,175 per month, not including utilities, with a commitment through 2022 and office space in Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico for P1,700 (approximately $140) per month, with a commitment through October 2008. We believe these spaces are adequate for our current needs and that suitable space will be available to accommodate our future needs.

Government Regulation

We believe our exploration projects currently comply with existing environmental and mining laws and regulations affecting our operations.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR MINERAL PROPERTIES

Hill Copper Project, Arizona

Location, Access and Property Overview

The Hill Copper Property is located on the eastern flank of the southern Dragoon Mountains, approximately 80 miles southeast of Tucson, Arizona. Access to the Hill Copper Property from Tucson is via the Dragoon turnoff on the I-10 freeway, 12 miles east of Benson, then east to Arizona Highway 191, then south through Sunsites Village and the nearby ghost town of Pearce. The property is in the Turquoise Mountain Quadrangle, Courtland-Gleeson Mining District, Cochise County, Arizona. We are not aware of any particular environmental, political or regulatory problems that would adversely affect mineral exploration of the property.

The topography in the project area varies from flat to rolling hills with an average elevation of 4,600 feet above sea level. Vegetation in the area is sparse and is typical of a desert climate.

General Overview of our Arizona Mining Claims at the Hill Copper-Zinc Property

We are the registered owner of a 100% interest in 35 MAN unpatented mining claims, part of the 119 unpatented mining claims and 45 patented claims located on what is known as the Hill Copper-Zinc Project (of which the MAN area is part), as described in the table below. The unpatented claims are staked on federal lands administered by the United States Bureau of Land Management. In addition to the 13 claims acquired with the purchase of ARI, staked on two earlier occasions and all contiguous with one another, we also staked an additional 17 MAN unpatented mining claims during late 2006 which were recorded at the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) on January 24, 2007 and January 25, 2007. An additional five claims were staked and recorded with the BLM on August 17, 2007. These claims are contiguous with the 13 initial MAN claims. The mining claims are in good standing with all regulatory authorities, and the mining claims are properly registered at Cochise County in Bisbee, Arizona and with the U.S. Bureau of Land Management in Phoenix, Arizona. The current annual maintenance fees on unpatented mining claims are $125 per claim due on or before August 31 of each year.

The claims staked or otherwise acquired, exploration permits and leases obtained, and other property acquisitions are listed chronologically:

The Gold City transaction is in the form of a signed letter agreement and formal documentation has not yet been executed.

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Aurelio Resources, Inc. entered into a purchase and sale agreement, dated May 16, 2006, with Hope Mining and Milling Company, for the acquisition of 30 patented mining claims known as the Courtland claims, located in the Turquoise Mountain Quadrangle, Courtland-Gleeson Mining District, Cochise County, in south-eastern Arizona. On September 15, 2006, Aurelio Resources, Inc. assigned its rights under the agreement to our wholly-owned subsidiary, Bolsa Resources, Inc. and on September 18, 2006, Bolsa closed the acquisition and paid the balance of the initial installment of $250,000. The remainder of the overall purchase price of $1.2 million is financed over four years with only monthly interest payments at 6% being payable over this period with the balance of the purchase price payable on September 15, 2010.

In January 2007, we staked 17 new unpatented claims around the initial 13 MAN claims, including the area between the recently purchased Courtland claims and the MAN claims.

In March 2007, we entered into an exploration lease and option to purchase letter agreement with Gold City Inc. (Al Conti) for 19 unpatented mining claims to the north of as well as overlapping the initial 13 MAN claims. Gold City agreed to an initial lease payment of $20,000, with subsequent payments over four years of $90,000. The purchase price agreed to is $750,000 should the Company exercise the purchase option, which includes a net smelter royalty of 1% to 2% depending upon the net sales price per pound of copper. As of December 31, 2007, the final documentation to effect this agreement has not been executed.

During April 2007, an option agreement (signed in March 2007) was completed with Newmont Mining Corporation to purchase two of its patented mineral claims. These claims, known as the Banner claim and the Australia claim, are adjacent to our initial 13 MAN claims. Newmont agreed to a purchase price of $100,000 paid in stages over a one year period. We made the fourth and final $25,000 payment in March 2008. We agreed to give Newmont a 1% net smelter returns royalty on the patented claims and on any properties we currently own or acquire within a designated area of interest. In addition, we gave Newmont a right of first offer with respect to any option, joint venture, sale or any other disposition of property by us to a third party. The acquisition was concluded through Bolsa Resources, Inc.

Concurrently with the Newmont transaction, we acquired an extensive exploration file of the Turquoise Mountain Mining District, Cochise County, Arizona, where the Hill Copper-Zinc Project is located, including the logs and assay results of 274 holes, drilled by ten different companies between the 1950s and the mid-1990s. These companies include Santa Fe Mining, Asarco Mining, Kennecott Copper, Union Oil, and Great Gray Resources. This database provides confirmation of our calculated mineral resources as well as identifies at least eight additional copper and zinc rich exploration targets within our Hill Copper-Zinc Project.

Also in April 2007, we completed a mineral lease and option agreement with three individual owners of 65 Gold Coin mineral claims and three Arizona State mineral exploration permits. These acquisitions were also concluded through Bolsa Resources, Inc. The 65 unpatented Gold Coin claims along with the three Arizona mineral exploration permits cover 1272 acres. These new properties are all located to the south and southeast of the MAN claims. The group of claims contain multiple additional copper and zinc targets and three known gold prospects. The option agreement included a down payment of $20,000 with additional annual staged payments totaling $1.5 million until April 15, 2018. In addition, there is a royalty of 1% of production of base metals and 2.5% of precious metals from these claims and permits.

In July 2007, we completed the acquisition of 76,780 feet of drill core from 95 holes in the Turquoise Mining District. These holes were drilled by Santa Fe Minerals, Inc. (now part of Newmont Mining) and Great Gray Resources Co. between 1987 and 1995 as well as core from eight holes (over 7,200 feet) drilled by Bear Creek Exploration during the 1960s in the Courtland and South Courtland areas. Much of this core was only assayed for copper at the time it was drilled. We have been systematically re-logging, re-sampling and re-assaying this core for gold, silver, lead and zinc, and adding the results to the company’s exploration database. Our land position encompasses virtually all the ground previously drilled by these companies. The material was acquired for a nominal cost.

During August 2007, we entered into an agreement with the Rae family to purchase 13 patented mining claims (covering approximately 213 acres) located on the north of the MAN area that is part of our wholly-owned Hill Copper-Zinc Project. As part of the transaction, we also acquired approximately 744 acres of surface rights covering the entire MAN deposit and an area to the west, with an additional 292 acres of surface and mineral rights to the east of the deposit. These acquisitions were concluded through Bolsa Resources, Inc. The option agreement included a down payment of $10,000 and a further payment of $40,000 before year-end, with additional staged payments over two years for a total cost of $1.3 million. There is no royalty payable on production from any of the patented mining claims.

Also in August 2007, we staked an additional five unpatented BLM lode mining claims to the north and northeast of the MAN deposit. These claims are adjacent to and to the east of the patented Hope claims purchased in September of 2006 covering the Courtland area. We also applied for and was granted three Arizona State mineral exploration permits covering an estimated 1,320 acres. The Arizona exploration permits are located to the south and southeast of the MAN deposit, and cover projected extensions along strike of high-grade, copper-zinc-silver-gold mineralization.

During September 2007, we entered into an option agreement to acquire surface rights, being town sites, on part of the Courtland area from Kay B. Graham with payment of a non-refundable option payment of $25,000.

Mining and Exploration History of the Courtland-Gleeson (Turquoise) Mining District

Native Americans mined small amounts of turquoise, used as a medicine stone, from Turquoise Mountain on the extreme north end of the district for an unknown number of years.

The first mining claims were staked on silver-lead deposits near Gleeson, on the south end of the district, in 1877. Exploration and development by the Calumet, Phelps Dodge and Great Western companies started a boom in the area in 1907, and copper production peaked in 1912. Primarily in the northern Courtland area, there was small-scale mining for shallow, oxidized high-value copper or lead-zinc replacement deposits in limestone with by-product gold-silver. The larger mines closed by 1920, although small operators continued production until about 1932. There are at least 52 old mine workings in the Turquoise Mining District.

The district was explored prior to Aurelio’s consolidation of the land and commencement of the current exploration program with four large and seven small drilling programs since 1952, totalling 274 drill holes. In 1957, Minerals Exploration Company (MEXCO, a division of Union Oil Company) discovered the Star Hill replacement copper deposit in the MAN area with their first hole, based on an airborne magnetic geophysical anomaly. MEXCO then drilled 51 additional holes on an approximate 200-foot grid, but later abandoned the property.

Intense hydrothermal alteration, pyritization and fracturing in an area of approximately eleven square miles have long attracted the attention of several companies searching for a large porphyry copper deposit. In 1960 through 1967, Bear Creek Mining Company drilled 42 holes, totalling about 57,000 feet, in an area of approximately four square miles west of the old Courtland town site.

Beginning in 1986, Santa Fe Mining Company drilled 108 holes in three main areas: Maude Hill (1986) with 14 holes; an expansion of the MEXCO grid at Star Hill (1989 through 1990) with 52 holes, concentrating only on high-grade mineralization; and enlargement of the Courtland bulk-tonnage replacement copper deposit (1990) with 42 holes. Newmont Mining Company had previously drilled four bulk-tonnage discovery holes at Courtland in 1988.

Mineralization

The Hill Copper Property contains two known types of mineralization: primary and secondary. Primary mineralization is at depth and secondary mineralization is closer to the surface.

(1) Primary Mineralization (milling required, not amenable to heap leaching):

Massive pyrite plus chalcopyrite (copper) plus sphalerite (zinc) plus or minus magnetite/hematite(iron oxide), with some gold silver and lead, occurs in replacement deposits and skarn primarily within Abrigo limestone. This mineralization was the focus of historic underground mining operations. Lower grade, disseminated sulphide mineralization occurs in skarns and intrusive porphyries. Some primary mineralization is present in other sedimentary formations such as Bolsa Quartzite and Martin Limestone.

Hydrothermal alteration in the wall rock typically consists of intense stockwork and pervasive silicification, along with strong sericitization and argillization, to the extent that drill core is often unidentifiable.

(2) Secondary mineralization (amenable to heap leaching and SX/EW recovery):

Secondary mineralization occurs where near-surface primary mineralization has been oxidized and leached. Limestone areas contain copper oxide minerals (tenorite, malachite, azurite, chrysocolla, melaconite and neotocite) or zinc oxide minerals (such as hemimorphite, smithsonite and hydrozincite). This mineralization varies from iron-stained skarn and leached limestone to heavy gossanous material.

Underlying the oxide zone in some places, is an extensive ‘supergene enrichment blanket’, that contains chalcocite, a copper-rich secondary mineral. It occurs primarily in the MAN zone in the porphyritic intrusives.

All types of mineralization have been offset by numerous steep, closely spaced faults making lateral projection difficult in some cases.

17


The oxide mineralization is probably the most economically attractive in the Hill Copper-Zinc area because it is close to the surface, and might be mined with lower cost open-pit mining methods. The chalcocite blanket is very extensive and contains significant tonnages of potentially leachable copper mineralization. Together, these secondary types of mineralization make the Hill project an attractive exploration target.

In 2006 and 2007, Aurelio drilled 21,489 feet of core and reverse circulation drilling. This drilling has confirmed previous drilling results by Newmont, Santa Fe, Bear Creek, Great Gray and MEXCO. In 2007, follow-up drilling was begun to outline an oxide resource in the South Courtland zone.

Our Current Drilling Program

Beginning in late 2005, Aurelio Resources, Inc. increased the potential for discovering bulk-tonnage mineral resources at Star Hill, now named the Hill Copper-Zinc Project, by re-evaluating the data from earlier drilling programs and by confirmatory drilling. Two principal zones were recognized, the Courtland Zone and the MAN Zone.

Phase 1 drilling started in the fall of 2006. This work was confirmational in nature, attempting to verify the presence and grade of previously drilled mineralization by twinning Newmont and Santa Fe holes. Five holes were drilled on the Courtland zone, which was well-defined by previous drilling, and five more holes were drilled in the area between Courtland and MAN which had some scattered mineralized intervals.

The results of this early phase of drilling were that the Courtland mineralization was confirmed, and the other five holes began to show the presence of a continuation of mineralization between the Courtland and MAN zones. This new target has since been named South Courtland.

Phase 2 drilling started in the middle of 2007. The primary objective of this phase was to pursue the oxide mineralization at South Courtland. A total of 29 holes were drilled in the central part of the zone to expand on previous drilling. Most holes were extended into the sulphide mineralization in order to test the geological model for the zone. In addition, five confirmation holes were drilled in the MAN zone to confirm the Santa Fe and MEXCO results.

The results of Phase 2 drilling show that the South Courtland zone consists of a thin (approximately 125 feet) surface layer of oxidized ledges leading down-dip into sulphide mineralization. At present, only about one third of the South Courtland zone has been drill-tested. Two holes were drilled between the South Courtland and MAN zones and those intercepts suggest possible continuity of the two zones. Drilling shows that there is significant zinc mineralization in some areas that are distinct from the copper mineralization. Further work will address the significance and economics of this mineralization.

The drill holes that Bolsa competed during 2007 on the MAN zone were successful in duplicating previous drilling and confirmed the presence of a thick chalcocite blanket overlying high-grade sulphide mineralization, including copper, zinc, silver, and gold, with scattered lead values. Samples are currently being submitted for leachability analysis, after which a metallurgical scoping study will be carried out.

Future Drill Plans

Future drilling will focus on outlining this new near-surface copper oxide zone with the objective to define a heap-leachable deposit that could possibly be fast-tracked to early production.

Resource Evaluation – Hill Copper-Zinc Project

In October 2007 an independent review of its in-house estimate of the mineralized material in the MAN area was completed. The report was prepared by Chlumsky, Armbrust & Meyers, LLC (“CAM”), an independent mining engineering consulting firm located in Lakewood, Colorado. CAM’s report, entitled “Technical Report: Hill Copper-Zinc Project - MAN Area Arizona” dated October 23, 2007, was authored by Mr. Robert L. Sandefur, P.E., Senior Geostatistician/Ore Reserve Analyst. Estimated in-place mineralized material in the MAN Area is 63,757,000 tons grading 0.43% copper and 0.15% zinc (plus gold, silver and lead credits) based on cut-off grades of 0.20% copper for sulfide material and 0.10% copper for leachable (oxide and chalcocite) mineralized material. Based on the trailing average monthly metal prices for the past three years through October 2007, the copper-equivalent grade of the MAN deposit would be 0.56% copper-equivalent. It appears that all of this material can be mined by open pit with low (less than 2:1) stripping ratios. CAM’s calculations were based on geologic and assay information from 87 historical drill holes totaling 64,252 feet of core and 10,737 assay records. (Aurelio has a total historical database of 274 drill holes for the Hill Copper-Zinc Project.)

The CAM report analyzed the MAN area only. Subsequently, we prepared an in-house analysis of all three zones (MAN, South Courtland and Courtland) which estimated mineralized material at 167.9 million tons (which our management believes could all be mined using open-pit methods) with an approximate copper equivalent grade of 0.52% (copper plus gold, silver and zinc at current values). We expect to enlarge the area of mineralized material in due course with step-out drilling into previously untested areas.

Gavilanes Property

Through our 98% owned subsidiary, Minera Milenium S.A. de C.V., we hold an option to earn a 100% undivided interest in certain mining claims/concessions situated in the Tamazula District, Durango, Mexico known as the Gavilanes Property. The Gavilanes Property consisted initially of mining claims/concessions covering approximately 100 hectares, identified as title number 185397, expediente (brief) 321.1/24569 and granted by the Dirección General de Minas and inscribed with number 577, on page 145 of Volume number 251 of the General book of Mining Concessions of the Public Mines register in Mexico City, D.F. Subsequently, 900 hectares of exploration concessions were staked around the initial Gavilanes property.

Option Terms

Pursuant to the terms of the option agreement dated August 18, 2005, between Aurelio Resources, Inc. and Minera Holmex, S.A. de C.V., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Sinaloa, Republic of Mexico, and wholly-owned by Dr. Frederik Warnaars, Aurelio Resources, Inc. acquired the right to earn up to a 100% free and clear interest in the mineral exploration and development in the three mining claims/concessions, covering approximately 1,000 hectares. Aurelio Resources, Inc. assigned all of its interest in this option to its 98% owned subsidiary, Minera Milenium. In consideration for the option, we paid Minera Holmex an amount equal to the taxes in arrears for the years 2001 and 2002 and the aggregate sum of P63,536 (Mexican Pesos) plus late payment penalties (approximately $6,100).

To maintain the option in good standing, we will need to make the following payments to Mr. Modesto Rivas Beltran no later than the dates provided below:

Payment Due Date   Cash  
February 1, 2006 (paid in 2006) $  5,000

February 1, 2011   305,000  
Payments Remaining as of March 31, 2008 $ 435,000  

The Gavilanes Property is subject to a 3% net smelter royalty in favor of Mr. Modesto Rivas Beltran of Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico. There are no provisions in the option whereby we can purchase all or a portion of the smelter royalty from Mr. Modesto Rivas Beltran.

The smelter royalty will be payable only from the actual proceeds received by our company from any future mint, smelter, refinery or other purchaser from the sale of any ore, metals (including bullion) or concentrates we may produce and sell from the Gavilanes Property, or proceeds we may receive from an insurer in respect of our mineral products, after deducting certain expenses related to certain costs to our company of the extraction, preparation and sale of our mineral products. The smelter royalty shall be paid to Mr. Modesto Rivas Beltran on a quarterly basis within 45 days of the end of each fiscal quarter.

Location and Access

The Gavilanes Property is located approximately 70 km east of Culiacan, near the hamlet of Chiqueritos and can be reached by small fixed wing aircraft or a five-hour drive from Culiacan via Tamazula. Less than 100 people reside in Chiqueritos. In the map below, the area subject to our Option is identified as Los Gavilanes, an area directly south of Chiqueritos village. Reconnaissance mapping and sampling was completed over an area of about 5 square kilometers from the area near the airport, about 2.5 kilometres northwest of Chiqueritos, to the San Andres area in the south.

19


We carried out road building for roads to access possible drill platforms in the spring of 2005 and late 2006. These roads have provided access to many rock exposures on both the northern and southern flanks of the Gavilanes ridge. To date, we have completed approximately 7.9 kilometers of roadway.

Location of Gavilanes Property

Geology

The area near the Gavilanes Property is underlain by a metasedimentary sequence of possible early Mesozoic age rocks consisting of schists, shales, phyllites, quartzites and meta-arkoses that reach low-grade greenschist metamorphism.

The sequence is intruded by fine-grained dacite porphyries with variable amounts of biotite and/or hornblende and/or magnetite with different porphyritic textures. Various porphyry intrusions may be present, or possibly one intrusive with many local variations. Hydrothermal alterations and surface weathering are often intense and pervasive, so it is difficult at this stage to separate and map the various intrusions or different phases. At one location in the San Andres area, an unaltered porphyry was found. A hornblende concentrate separated from this porphyry was dated by the potassium-argon (K-Ar) age method and gave an age of 62.5 million years (early Paleocene). Porphyry intrusions are exposed over an area of two km in a north-south direction and about one km in an east-west direction. To the east and south they are covered by post-mineral volcanics. A weakly mineralized and weakly altered hydrothermal system was dated as a “whole rock” specimen and gave an age of 42.3 million years (mid-Eocene).

An unbrecciated contact of dacite porphyry with various types of metasediments is exposed in the creek west of Chiqueritos village. This contact is diffuse and consists of a hybrid zone with assimilated sediments and contaminated intrusives, suggesting a slow process of emplacement.

Strike and dip of metasediments to the northeast, north and west and in upper reaches of Arroyo del Oso in the south suggest a doming effect caused by the dacite porphyry complex.

An equigranular medium-grained granodiorite is exposed along the road between the airport and Chiqueritos. This is probably part of a batholith exposed further west. It is unmineralized and intrudes the metasediments. A K-Ar age determination of hornblendes separated from granodiorite resulted in an age of 81.2 million years (upper Cretaceous).

20


Many post-mineral felsic and mafic dikes cut the area. Their widths vary between 30 cm to 9 meters and are mostly steeply dipping. At various places, they can be followed over a distance of more than 1,000 meters.

The youngest rocks are Miocene volcanics covering the area to the east and south. They are flat-lying and cover the mountains above the 1,200 to 1,300 meter elevation. Part of the prospect may have oxidized prior to the deposition of the volcanic sequence. Oxidized and mineralized porphyries are therefore anticipated to exist below the volcanics to the east. Gavilanes ridge is undergoing, at present, a second stage of oxidation superimposed on an earlier oxidation stage.

Exploration Program – Gavilanes Property

The exploration program for our Gavilanes Property will evaluate the mineral potential of mine waste from historic mining operations, together with surface and near-surface mineralization, as well as deep mineralization.

Phase I: We conducted a due diligence phase, evaluating all the pertinent data in Culiacan, followed by a field visit in 2006. This Phase took about six days to complete and improved our existing information regarding the geology, alteration and gold/silver/molybdenum distribution at the Gavilanes Property. Phase I helped to identify and mark various drill hole locations and plan the initial drilling phase. The total cost for Phase I was $20,000

Phase II: In 2006, Phase II consisted of trenching and access road building over 3.5 kilometers on the north end of the property to expose a newly discovered gold-bearing hydrothermal breccia (called San José) near the headwaters of Las Cuevas Creek. The terrain is extremely steep and progress was slow in the narrow canyon.

The breccia is about 150 meters wide in a northwest to southeast direction and over 750 meters long in a northeast to southwest direction. A total of 83 trench and road cut samples were taken with mixed results, including erratic gold values up to 0.4 parts per million. The matrix is very gossanous after massive sulphides, probably pyrite. The breccia fragments consist of either metasediments or porphyries, or a mixture of both. Part of the breccia is well silicified. Gold assay results of the San Jose breccia received in 2007 are weakly anomalous ranging between 0.01 and 0.13 parts per million, averaging 0.045 parts per million. The gold average of all 83 samples taken is 0.077 parts per million.

At this stage it is not clear if the San José breccia constitutes a drilling target.

In 2007, Phase II consisted of preparation of seven additional drill pads and approximately 1.9 miles (3 kilometers) on or around Gavilanes Ridge. The total cost for exploration in 2007 was $50,045.

The next phase (which will proceed when funding is available) will include, together with necessary permitting, a drilling program of seven holes for a total of approximately 2,000 meters. The estimated cost would be $373,000 and should take three to four months to complete.

Lake Iliamna Property, Alaska

By mineral staking in March 2004, we acquired a 100% interest in twenty-five mineral claims located in the State of Alaska, approximately 7.5 miles northwest of Lake Iliamna which is 215 miles south-west of Anchorage, Alaska. During November 2006, we allowed our interest in the Alaska property to lapse and we have no ongoing interest in that property.

Subsidiaries

On August 17, 2006 we completed our acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Aurelio Resources, Inc., a privately-owned Colorado corporation engaged in mineral exploration, pursuant to an agreement we entered into with Aurelio Resources, Inc. and its stockholders dated April 27, 2006, as amended on June 9, 2006 and further amended July 13, 2006 and on July 21, 2006. As a result of the share purchase transaction, Aurelio Resources, Inc. is now a wholly-owned

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with our audited financial statements and the related notes for the year ended December 31, 2007 which appear elsewhere in this registration

23


statement and prospectus. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to those discussed elsewhere in this registration statement and prospectus particularly in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 1.

Our audited and unaudited financial statements are stated in United States dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

Overview

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on February 19, 2004 under the name Furio Resources, Inc. We are an exploration stage company engaged in the exploration of mineral properties and we may also, from time to time, acquire additional mineral properties to explore. We have focused our efforts since incorporation acquiring mineral properties and carrying out exploration activities on those mineral properties.

We changed our name to Aurelio Resource Corporation effective June 16, 2006 and implemented a six and one-half (6.5) for one (1) forward stock split of our authorized, issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital has increased from 75,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 to 487,500,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001.

On August 17, 2006, we completed our acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Aurelio Resources, Inc., a privately-owned Colorado corporation engaged in mineral exploration, pursuant to an agreement we entered into with Aurelio Resources, Inc. (“ARI”) and its shareholders dated April 27, 2006, as amended on June 9, 2006 and further amended on July 13, 2006 and on July 21, 2006. As a result of our acquisition of ARI, we indirectly acquired all of its assets. In particular, we acquired unpatented mining claims in Arizona (which form the basis of the property we now refer to as our Hill Copper-Zinc Project) and held through our wholly-owned subsidiary Bolsa Resources, Inc. (“Bolsa”), and a 98% interest in Minera Milenium S.A. de C.V. (“Minera Milenium”), a company incorporated in Mexico which holds an option to acquire a 100% interest in the Gavilanes Property.

We continue to focus our efforts on the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. To date, we have not discovered an economically viable mineral deposit on the mineral claims, and there is no assurance that we will discover one. A great deal of further exploration will be required before a final evaluation as to the economic and legal feasibility for our future development is determined.

We have no revenues, have experienced losses since inception, have no operations, have been issued a going concern opinion by our auditors and rely upon the sale of our securities to fund operations.

Change of Year-end

We changed our year-end from May 31 to December 31 on September 28, 2006. For the year prior to May 31, 2006 and up to the acquisition of ARI in August 2006, our company had essentially been dormant. As a result of the change in year-end and given the lack of materiality of the prior periods compared to the current operations, and the lack of seasonality in our business, the quarters in the current year have been compared with the most relevant period from the reported quarters in prior periods as follows:

  For the period ending Comparative period

(1) Four months and seven months, respectively, when compared with the quarter and year ended December 31, 2007.

Plan of Operations

Our plan of operations for the next twelve months involves the implementation of phased exploration programs and additional property acquisitions for our Hill Copper-Zinc Project in Arizona and, subject to available funding, also on our Gavilanes

24


Property in Mexico. We will undertake these operations with our existing management and field personnel and will contract for additional labor on a project basis as required. We do not anticipate any major purchases or sales of plant and equipment as we intend to sub-contract the drilling programs and outsource the assaying, resource estimation, engineering and metallurgical studies.

We wish to complete the following objectives within the time periods specified, subject to our obtaining the funding necessary for the continued exploration of our mineral properties:

Hill Copper-Zinc Project, Arizona

During 2008, we plan to continue to selectively acquire additional land adjoining our Hill Copper-Zinc Project through negotiations with private landholders.

We anticipate that the next phase of the work program at the Project will cost approximately $0.6 million over the next six months and approximately $1.4 million over the next twelve months, for exploration, engineering, environmental and metallurgical studies, property payments and land acquisition. These costs, however, do not include any drilling at the project and, if we are to commence a drilling program within six months this would add at least another $0.75 million to the above total over this period. Within the next year, we would expect total costs at the project level to increase to approximately $4.5 million (including the above) if we have the funds available and are able to do the additional drilling and subsequent metallurgical and engineering work to maintain the momentum on the project that is warranted by our successes to date.

We will need to raise additional funds in order to conduct these exploration programs and for the land acquisitions.

The planned six month exploration program will include detailed metallurgical test-work by an independent engineering firm on the chalcocite blanket and oxide- and sulfide-mineralized zones of the Project. The Company will also continue to re-log, re-sample and re-assay the historic drill core from prior exploration programs, acquired during 2007. Upon completion of these phases of work, we plan to prepare resource estimates by an independent engineering firm (in accordance with Canada’s National Instrument 43-101) for the Courtland, South Courtland and MAN areas of the Project.

The Company has filed and received approval for a Plan of Operations for additional drilling on the MAN area mining claims, which are administered by the Bureau of Land Management. Based on availability of funds and equipment, the Company plans on drilling up to 40,000 feet of core, a portion of which would be drilled exclusively for metallurgical test-work (column tests and flow sheet design); the majority of the proposed drilling would be to test additional exploration targets with the goal of increasing the MAN area resource.

We anticipate that this drill program will cost approximately $3.3 million and take most of the twelve months to complete. We have also prepared a budget for additional diamond drilling in the South Courtland and Courtland area as part of the twelve month program, as well as for preliminary scoping and pre-feasibility studies, which will all proceed subject to available funding.

Gavilanes Property

We plan to make the option payments due in 2008 in order to keep the Gavilanes option in good standing. These two payments will total $40,000. We may need to raise additional funds in order to make these option payments.

Our planned six month exploration program includes 7,000 feet of diamond drilling to test the seven best targets identified to date on the Gavilanes Property. Based on our review of all the pertinent data available on the property, we are pursuing our goal of identifying a bulk mineable, open pittable deposit at Gavilanes. The budget for this drill program is approximately $327,000 (not including land costs) and we expect that to be completed well within the six months. If this program shows the expected results, we will then undertake a larger program of up to 15,000 feet of diamond drilling on the property, which is budgeted to cost approximately $600,000 and, as long as funding is available, we would anticipate completing this within the next twelve months.

25


General Operating Expenses

We anticipate spending approximately $115,000 in ongoing general and administrative expenses per month for the next six months, while our total general and administrative expense over the whole of the next twelve months is expected to total approximately $1.4 million. In addition, we plan to make property payments on new and existing property agreements of approximately $0.6 million over the six months and approximately $1.4 million over the next twelve months, and some of these payments will be expensed. We plan to spend approximately $0.6 million for exploration and engineering studies over the next six months and approximately $4.8 million for exploration programs (which includes the drilling program at the Hill Copper-Zinc Project discussed above), land payments and property acquisitions and engineering studies during the twelve months. The general and administrative expenses for the year will consist primarily of professional fees for the our management and field personnel, accounting and reporting expenses, audit and legal work relating to our regulatory filings, as well as transfer agent fees, promotion and investor relations activities and the costs of maintaining our executive office in Littleton, Colorado and our field offices in Arizona and in Culiacan, Mexico.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements accompanying this Form 10-KSB. At December 31, 2007, we had cash on hand of $268,410 and a working capital deficit of $(881,903). In February 2008 we did raise $2.5 million in two separate financings, but our cash and working capital will not be sufficient to enable us to pay for the costs of our exploration and general and administrative expenses. We will have to raise additional capital in order to pay for our exploration and anticipated general and administrative expenses. Our ability to complete the next phases of our recommended work programs will be subject to us obtaining additional financing as these expenditures will exceed our cash reserves.

During the next twelve-month period, we anticipate that we will not generate any revenue. Accordingly, we will be required to obtain additional financing in order to continue our plan of operations. Although we have just concluded a convertible debt financing, we believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding additional phases of exploration as we do not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund the next phase of our exploration program. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to continue exploration of our mineral claims and our business plan might not succeed. Even if we are successful in obtaining equity financing to fund the next phase of our exploration program, there is no assurance that we will obtain the funding necessary to pursue any advanced exploration of our mineral claims following the completion of the work program. If we do not continue to obtain additional financing, we will be forced to abandon our mineral claims and our plan of operations.

We may consider entering into a joint venture arrangement to provide the required funding to develop the mineral claims. We have not undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture partner for the mineral claims. Even if we determined to pursue a joint venture partner, there is no assurance that any third party would enter into a joint venture agreement with us in order to fund exploration of our mineral claims. If we entered into a joint venture arrangement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of our interest in our mineral claims to the joint venture partner.

Cash Requirements

For the next 12 months we plan to continue to explore for base metals on our Hill Copper-Zinc Project in Arizona, and to explore for precious metals on our Gavilanes Property in Mexico. Our budget for the next six months is approximately $2.0 million and for the full 12 months (which includes the anticipated drilling programs and additional property payments) our budget is approximately $6.0 million.

We will require additional funds to implement our exploration and development programs. These funds will need to be raised through equity financing, although debt financing or other sources may be available, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares. There is still no assurance that we will be able to maintain operations at a level sufficient for an investor to obtain a return on his investment in our common stock. Further, we may continue to be unprofitable. We need to raise additional funds in the immediate future in order to proceed with our exploration program.

In order to proceed with our plans, we plan to raise additional funds by way of private placements of equity securities in our company.

Results of Operations

We have had no operating revenues since our incorporation on February 19, 2004, through December 31, 2007.

Following the acquisition of ARI we have focused most of our attention during the seven months ended December 31, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2007 on the Hill Copper-Zinc Project in Arizona. There we have expanded our property position with the acquisition of patented and unpatented mining claims, with purchase, lease and option agreements on additional property (mining claims and surface rights) such that we now hold the following: 45 patented claims on approximately 787 acres; 119 unpatented mining claims on 1647 acres; surface rights to 1822 acres; six Arizona State mineral exploration permits on approximately 1571 acres. We acquired a data base that includes assay results from 274 holes drilled from the 1950s to the mid-1990s and were able to develop preliminary in-house copper resource estimates. We also acquired 76,780 feet of drill core from 95 holes that had been assayed for copper, and is to be re-assayed for gold, silver, lead and zinc in order to add to the company’s exploration database. An independent review of its in-house estimate of the mineralized material of the MAN area was completed which estimated in-place mineralized material in the MAN area is 63,757,000 tons grading 0.43% copper and 0.15% zinc, plus gold, silver and lead credits).

Also, during 2007, Aurelio drilled a total of 44 holes, on the Arizona properties, totalling 21,489 feet to obtain core and reverse circulation samples. The total amount spent in 2007 for drilling was approximately $1,023,000. Aurelio at the Hill Copper-Zinc Project now owns or has options to acquire a total of 45 patented claims, 119 unpatented claims, we have six Arizona State mineral exploration permits, and control approximately 5,041 acres of land in Arizona. We intend to explore our Arizona properties and hope to develop and exploit any mineral deposits we discover. Alternatively, we may in the future joint venture or sell an interest in or otherwise assign the rights to develop or exploit the properties.

Phase 1 drilling started in 2006. This work was confirmational in nature, attempting to verify the presence and grade of previously drilled mineralization by twinning Newmont and Santa Fe holes. Five holes were drilled on the Courtland zone which was well-defined by previous drilling, and five more holes were drilled in the area between Courtland and MAN which had some scattered mineralized intervals. This drilling confirmed previous drilling results by Newmont, Santa Fe, Bear Creek, Great Gray and MEXCO. In 2007, follow-up drilling was begun to outline an oxide resource in the South Courtland zone. The results of this phase of drilling were that the Courtland mineralization was confirmed; and the other five holes began to show the presence of continuation of mineralization between the Courtland and MAN zones. This new target has since been named South Courtland.

Phase 2 drilling started in 2007. The primary objective of this phase was to pursue the oxide mineralization at South Courtland. A total of 29 holes were drilled in the central part of the zone to expand on previous drilling. Most holes were extended into the sulphide mineralization in order to test the geological model for the zone. In addition, five confirmation holes were drilled in the MAN zone to confirm the Santa Fe and MEXCO results.

The results of Phase 2 drilling show that the South Courtland zone consists of a thin (~125 feet) surface layer of oxidized ledges leading down-dip into sulphide mineralization. At present, only about one third of the South Courtland zone has been drill-tested. Two of the holes were drilled between the South Courtland and MAN zones and those intercepts suggest possible continuity of the two zones. Drilling shows that there is significant zinc mineralization in some areas that are distinct from the copper mineralization. Further work will address the significance and economics of this mineralization.

The drill holes that Bolsa competed during 2007 on the MAN zone were successful in duplicating previous drilling and confirmed the presence of a thick chalcocite blanket overlying high-grade sulphide mineralization including copper, zinc, silver, and gold, with scattered lead values. Samples are currently being submitted for leachability analysis, after which a metallurgical scoping study will be carried out.

Our loss for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $3,379,987, and this included the expensing of all our exploration programs and overhead costs, including some non-cash compensation expense under the Stock Compensation Plan and for stock options issued to our directors and officers who worked for many months during the year without cash compensation. This loss compared with a loss of $957,221 in the seven months ended December 31, 2006. Our cash used in operations, which was primarily focused on exploring the Hill Copper-Zinc Project, was $1,712,837 for the year ended December 31, 2007, which compared with cash used in operations of $851,290 during the seven months ended December 31, 2006. We used $170,102 in the year ended December 31, 2007 for investing activities, and this compares with $285,130 used during the seven months ended December 31, 2006 for the deposit and the purchase of the Courtland area patented mining claims and for some fixed asset purchases.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2007, we had cash on hand of $268,410 and a working capital deficit of $(881,903), compared with cash of $464,521 and working capital of $350,463 at December 31, 2006.

While we raised $2.5 million in February 2008 in two separate financings, we anticipate that our cash and working capital will only be sufficient to enable us to pay for the costs of a limited exploration programs and general and administrative expenses for approximately the next three months. Accordingly, our ability to complete our ongoing exploration activities and the next phase of our recommended work programs will be subject to us obtaining additional financing as these expenditures will exceed our cash reserves.

During the next twelve-month period, we anticipate that we will not generate any revenue. Therefore, we must obtain additional financing in order to continue our plan of operations. While one of our recent financings was a convertible debt offering, we believe that debt financing will not be an alternative for funding additional phases of exploration as we do not have tangible assets to secure any debt financing. We anticipate that additional funding will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock. However, we do not have any financing arranged and we cannot provide investors with any assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock to fund the next phase of our exploration program. In the absence of such financing, we will not be able to continue exploration of our mineral claims and our business plan will fail. Even if we are successful in obtaining equity financing to fund the next phase of our exploration programs, there is no assurance that we will obtain the funding necessary to pursue any advanced exploration of our mineral claims following the completion of the work program. If we do not continue to obtain additional financing, we will be forced to abandon our mineral claims and our plan of operations.

We may consider entering into a joint venture arrangement to provide the required funding to develop our patented and unpatented mineral claims. We have not undertaken any efforts to locate a joint venture partner for this to date. Even if we determined to pursue a joint venture partner, there is no assurance that any third party would enter into a joint venture agreement with us in order to fund exploration of our properties. If we entered into a joint venture arrangement, we would likely have to assign a percentage of our interest in our properties to the joint venture partner. Our requirements for additional financing are discussed in further detail above under the heading Plan of Operation.

Cash used in operating activities was $1,712,837 for the year ended December 31, 2007 ($851,290 for the seven months ended December 31, 2006), which reflects the costs of our operations for the period. The difference in the amount of cash used in the periods reflects the active exploration program we initiated in September 2006 on the Hill Copper-Zinc Project in Arizona and which proceeded for a full year during 2007.

We have funded our business to date from sales of our common stock. Gross cash proceeds from the sale of our common shares during the period from inception, on February 19, 2004, through December 31, 2007, totaled $2,991,669 (after adjustments when we acquired ARI), with $1,328,655 of that coming from the private placement we closed in June 2007.

We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuance of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There are no assurances that we will be able to achieve further sales of our common stock or any other form of additional financing. If we are unable to achieve the financing necessary to continue our plan of operations, then we will not be able to continue our exploration of our properties.

Change in Control

We are unaware of any contract, or other arrangement or provision of our articles of incorporation or by-laws, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of our company.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS, PROMOTERS AND CERTAIN CONTROL PERSONS

Other than as disclosed below, there have been no transactions, or proposed transactions, which have materially affected or will materially affect us in which any director, executive officer or beneficial holder of more than 10% of the outstanding shares of common stock, or any of their respective relatives, spouses, associates or affiliates, has had or will have any direct or material indirect interest.

We have consulting contracts with our president, company officers, directors and their wholly-owned companies, through which they provide services to our company. These contracts are described above under the heading “Executive Compensation”. Apart from the consulting contracts, other than as disclosed below there have been no transactions, or proposed transactions, which have materially affected or will materially affect us in which any director, executive officer or beneficial holder of more than 10% of the outstanding shares of common stock, or any of their respective relatives, spouses, associates or affiliates, has had or will have any direct or material indirect interest. We have no policy regarding entering into transactions with affiliated parties.

In January 2008, we paid fees in stock to our directors for board, meeting and committee fees for the 2007 year totaling $399,000. These payments were accrued as directors’ fees for 2007 and were made under the Company’s Stock Compensation Plan.

In November 2007, we entered into a lease and option agreement with a director and officer for a property in Elfrida, Arizona. Bolsa Resources, Inc. is using the house for a field office and for temporary field accommodation and pays a market rent ($1,175/month) for the property. We also have an option to acquire the property for the amount of the mortgage debt outstanding on the property.

In February 2007, our board of directors decided to compensate directors for previous board, meeting and committee fees for fiscal 2006 totaling $230,000. These payments were made under the company’s Stock Compensation Plan.

On August 17, 2006 we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Aurelio Resources Inc., a privately-owned Colorado corporation engaged in mineral exploration. We issued 10,000,000 shares of our common stock to the former stockholders of Aurelio Resources, Inc. in exchange for 10,000,000 common shares of Aurelio Resources,

39


Inc., being all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Aurelio Resources, Inc., at which time Aurelio Resources, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of our company.

Prior to the acquisition, Aurelio Resources, Inc. did not have a business relationship with our company. In conjunction with the acquisition, we appointed three new directors, Dr. Frederik Warnaars, Stephen Doppler and David C. Jonson, who were previously all directors of Aurelio Resources, Inc. Dr. Frederik Warnaars, one of our directors, and Stephen Doppler, our president, chief executive officer and a director, were responsible for acquiring the Hill Copper Property for Aurelio Resources, Inc.

On March 29, 2004, Paul Fong, our former Chief Executive Officer, President, Treasurer and a director, and Patrick McGrath, our former Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and a director, had each acquired 6,500,000 shares of our common stock at a price of $0.002 per share. On August 17, 2006, Mr. Fong and Mr. McGrath returned an aggregate of 12,965,000 shares of our common stock (post forward-split) to us for cancellation. After giving effect to the cancellation of these 12,965,000 common shares and the issuance of 10,000,000 common shares to the former stockholders of Aurelio Resources, Inc., we had 28,436,500 common shares issued and outstanding, and our former control group of Mr. Fong and Mr. McGrath owned 35,000 shares of our common stock, constituting only 0.12% of our issued and outstanding common stock.

During the period from incorporation of Aurelio Resources, Inc. to February 28, 2006, Aurelio Resources, Inc. accepted subscriptions for 2,250,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for certain mineral rights. The following table shows who subscribed for these shares on February 28, 2006:

Stockholder Number of Shares   Property Vended In
Frederik Warnaars 350,000   Gavilanes Property Option
International American Resources, Inc. 400,000   Gavilanes Property Option
David C. Jonson 350,000   MAN claims, Hill Copper Property
Jonson Management 400,000   MAN claims, Hill Copper Property
Stephen Doppler 250,000   Uranium Property, Nevada
Salzburg Holdings LLC 500,000   Uranium Property, Nevada
       
Total 2,250,000    

On May 2, 2006, Aurelio Resources, Inc. accepted subscriptions for another 2,250,000 of its common stock in exchange for certain mineral rights. The following table shows who subscribed for these shares on May 2, 2006:

Stockholder Number of Shares   Property Vended In
Fred Warnaars 350,000   Gavilanes Property Option
International American Resources, Inc. 400,000   Gavilanes Property Option
David C. Jonson 350,000   MAN claims, Hill Copper Property

Stephen Doppler 250,000   Uranium Property, Nevada
Salzburg Holdings LLC 500,000   Uranium Property, Nevada
       
Total 2,250,000    

Of these subscriptions for shares of common stock listed above, certain subscriptions for an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of common stock were accepted in exchange for a quitclaim deed to uranium mining property in Nevada. Because the related party did not have legal rights to the deeds, he reduced his subscriptions to 500,000 shares of Aurelio Resources, Inc. common stock. On July 28, 2006, and as a result of an increase in the authorized common stock, Aurelio Resources, Inc. approved and

40


ratified the share subscriptions received since incorporation and issued 4,700,000 shares of common stock to the various subscribers. Aurelio Resources, Inc. also mistakenly reimbursed a related party $10,230 for filing fees related to the Nevada property. This related party has repaid the $10,230 to Aurelio Resources, Inc.

On August 26, 2005, Aurelio Resources, Inc. acquired from Minera Holmex S.A. de C.V. an option to acquire a 100% interest in 3 mining claims/concessions covering approximately 1,000 hectares in Durango, Mexico. Minera Holmex S.A. de C.V. is a company wholly-owned by Dr. Frederik Warnaars. In consideration for the option, Aurelio Resources, Inc. paid Minera Holmex an amount equal to the taxes in arrears for the years 2001 and 2002 and the aggregate sum of P63,536 Mexican Pesos plus late payment penalties (approximately $6,100). Aurelio Resources, Inc. also paid the sum of $5,000 to Minera Holmex S.A. de C.V. as of February 1, 2006 in accordance with the provisions of the option agreement. To maintain the option in good standing, we need to make payments to Minera Holmex S.A. de C.V. as per the payment schedule under the heading “Description of Our Mineral Properties” above.

On July 28, 2006, Aurelio Resources, Inc. issued 5,300,000 shares of its common stock to Dr. Frederik Warnaars at the price of $0.001 per share for an aggregate of $5,300 in cash and services rendered.

We have no policy regarding entering into transactions with affiliated parties.

Corporate Governance

We currently act with five directors, consisting of Dr. Frederik Warnaars, Stephen B. Doppler, David S. Johnson, Stephen R. Stine and Allan J. Marter. All of our directors are also officers of the company. None of our directors are independent as defined in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200(1)(15).

Committees of the Board of Directors

Effective December 22, 2006, the board of directors appointed Messrs. David S. Johnson and Stephen R. Stine to the Audit Committee. On the same date, the board of directors appointed Messrs. Stephen B. Doppler, David S. Johnson and Allan J. Marter to the Compensation Committee. Our board of directors presently does not have a nominating committee, executive committee or a separate stock plan committee.

Terms of Office

Our directors are appointed for one-year terms to hold office until the next annual general meeting of the holders of our common stock or until removed from office in accordance with our by-laws. Our officers are appointed by our board of directors and hold office until removed by our board of directors.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our board of directors has determined that it does not have a member of its audit committee who qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 401(e) of Regulation S-B, and is “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

We believe that the members of our audit committee and the board of directors are collectively capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an audit committee financial expert would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any revenues to date.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Aurelio Resource Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Aurelio Resource Corporation (formerly Furio Resources, Inc.) as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the seven months ended December 31, 2006 and for the period from inception (February 19, 2004) to December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of Aurelio Resource Corporation as of May 31, 2005 were audited by other auditors whose report dated July 19, 2005 on those statements included an explanatory paragraph describing conditions that raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Aurelio Resource Corporation as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and the results of operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the seven months ended December 31, 2006 and for the period from inception (February 19, 2004) to December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of $3,379,987 for the year ended December 31, 2007, and has an accumulated deficit of $4,449,263 at December 31, 2007. These factors, and others discussed in Note 3, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

AURELIO RESOURCE CORPORATION
(An Exploration Stage Company)
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

February 19, 2004 (Inception) through December 31, 2007

NOTE 1               HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION OF THE COMPANY

The Company was incorporated on February 19, 2004, under the Laws of the State of Nevada and is in the business of exploring mineral properties. The Company has not yet determined whether its properties contain mineral resources that may be economically recoverable. Therefore, the Company has not reached the development stage and is considered to be an exploration stage company.

The recoverability of mineral property costs is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete the exploration and upon future profitable production.

On August 17, 2006, we completed our acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common stock of Aurelio Resources, Inc. (“ARI”), a privately-owned Colorado corporation engaged in mineral exploration, pursuant to an agreement we entered into with ARI and its shareholders dated April 27, 2006, as amended on June 9, 2006 and further amended on July 13, 2006 and on July 21, 2006. As a result of our acquisition of ARI, we indirectly acquired all of its assets. In particular, we acquired properties in Arizona, now held through ARI and our wholly-owned subsidiary Bolsa Resources, Inc. (“Bolsa”), and a 98% interest in Minera Milenium S.A. de C.V. (“Minera Milenium”), a company incorporated in Mexico which holds an option to acquire a 100% interest in a property in Mexico.

NOTE 2               CHANGE OF YEAR-END

The Company changed its year-end from May 31 to December 31 on September 28, 2006. For the year prior to May 31, 2006 and up to the acquisition of ARI in August 2006, the Company had essentially been dormant. As a result of the change in year-end and given the lack of materiality of the prior periods compared to the current operations and the lack of seasonality in the Company’s business, the quarters in the current year have been compared with the most relevant period from the reported quarters in prior periods as follows:

  For the period ended Comparative period
     
Q1 March 31, 2007 February 28, 2006
     
Q2 June 30, 2007 May 31, 2006
     
Q3 September 30, 2007 August 31, 2006
     
Q4 December 31, 2007 December 31, 2006(i)

(i) Four months and seven months, respectively, when compared with the quarter and year ended December 31, 2007.

NOTE 3               GOING CONCERN

These financial statements have been prepared with the on-going assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. However, certain conditions noted below currently exist which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The operations of the Company have primarily been funded by the sale of common stock. Continued operations of the Company are dependent on the Company’s ability to complete additional equity financings or generate profitable operations in the future. Management’s plan in this regard is to secure additional funds through future equity financings. Such financings may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms.

NOTE 4               SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant accounting policies adopted by the Company are as follows:

Basis of consolidation and the preparation of financial statements

These consolidated financial statements are prepared and reported in United States (U.S.) dollars and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated. The company does not have any special purpose entities.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers cash held at banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

The U.S. dollar is the functional currency of the Company. Transactions involving foreign currencies for items included in operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the monthly average exchange rate; monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date and all other balance sheet items are translated at the historical rates applicable to the transactions that comprise the amounts. The cumulative effect of the translation of non-realized gains and losses are included in Stockholders’ Equity.

Mineral properties and exploration expenditures

The costs of acquiring mineral properties which have patented claims or surface rights are capitalized and will be amortized over their estimated useful lives following the commencement of commercial production or written-off if the properties are sold or abandoned. If it is determined that a property is not economically viable based on scoping or feasibility studies the capitalized costs of patented claims and surface rights are written off. If the studies show the carrying value to be in excess of their economic value, then the properties will be considered impaired and will be written down to their current economic value. Exploration expenses and the costs for carrying and retaining mineral properties are expensed as incurred.

The costs of acquiring mineral properties that have unpatented claims, leases or exploration permits are not capitalized. Ongoing costs for exploration and the costs for carrying and retaining these mineral properties are also expensed as incurred.

When it is determined that a mineral deposit can be economically and legally extracted or produced based on established proven and probable reserves based on an independent feasibility study that shows the economic viability of the deposit as confirmed by a Competent Person, further exploration costs and the costs of development incurred after such determination will be capitalized. Upon the commencement of commercial production,

F-9


capitalized costs will be amortized on the units of production basis using the estimated proven and probable reserves as the depletion basis.

Equipment and depreciation

Equipment is recorded at cost, and depreciation is provided on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the equipment of between three and seven years.

Investments

Investments are considered to be held to maturity and are carried at cost. Investments are continually reviewed to determine whether any events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the investment may not be recoverable. The Company bases its evaluation on such impairment indicators as the nature of the investments, the future economic benefit of the investments, any historical or future profitability measurements as well as other external market values, conditions or factors that may be present. If it is determined that the value of the investment is permanently impaired, it is written down to its estimated net realizable value.

Environmental remediation

At the report date, environmental requirements related to mineral claims acquired are unknown and therefore an estimate of any future cost cannot be made.

Income taxes

A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carry-forwards. Deferred tax expenses (benefit) result from the net change during the period of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Net loss per share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share takes into consideration shares of common stock outstanding (computed under basic net loss per share) and potentially dilutive shares of common stock. Diluted net loss per share is not presented separately from net loss per share since there are no potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (“FIN 48”) an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in the application of the income tax laws to the Company’s operations. The interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. There was no impact to the consolidated results of operations and financial position as a result of adopting FIN 48.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS No. 157 establishes a single definition of fair value and a framework for measuring fair value, sets out a fair value hierarchy to be used to classify the source of information used in fair value measurements and requires new disclosures about fair value measurements for future transactions. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Positions No. 157-1 and No. 157-2, which partially defer the effective date of

F-10


SFAS No. 157 for one year for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities and remove certain leasing transactions from its scope. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 157 on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” Under SFAS No. 159, entities may irrevocably elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement of certain financial instruments and certain other items. Subsequent measurements for the financial instruments and certain other items that an entity elects to record at fair value will be recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 159 also establishes additional disclosure requirements. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. At the effective date, an entity may elect the fair value option for eligible items that exist at that date. The entity shall report the effect of the first re-measurement to fair value as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company is currently determining whether fair value accounting is appropriate for any of its eligible items and cannot estimate the impact, if any, which SFAS No. 159 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141R, Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141R) and FASB Statement No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment to ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). SFAS No. 141R and No. 160 require most identifiable assets, liabilities, non-controlling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at "full fair value" and require non-controlling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) to be reported as a component of equity, which changes the accounting for transactions with non-controlling interest holders. Both Statements are effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008, and earlier adoption is prohibited. SFAS No. 141R will be applied to business combinations occurring after the effective date. SFAS No. 160 will be applied prospectively to all non-controlling interests, including any that arose before the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 141R and SFAS No. 160 on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.

NOTE 5               MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISK

The Company is subject to a concentration of credit risk with all of its cash at December 31, 2007 on deposit with JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA. The cash balance at year-end exceeded the FDIC limit of $100,000 by $162,288. Management considers that in view of the financial standing and nature of the operations of JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA the risk of loss is small.

NOTE 6               RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

During the year ended December 31, 2007 we maintained consulting contracts with our president, company officers, directors and their wholly-owned companies, through which they provided services to our company. During the year we paid or accrued consulting fees in lieu of salaries to our president, company officers and directors of $433,890 in total (for the seven months ended December 31, 2006: $129,159). As cash was unavailable to pay consulting fees to directors and officers during the last four months of 2007, the Company issued stock in January 2008 under the Stock Compensation Plan with a total value of $100,739 in payment of the consulting fees for this period. Fees charged for consulting services were in the normal course of business and were measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties.

The Board decided in February 2007 to compensate directors for previous board, meeting and committee fees for fiscal 2006 totaling $230,000. These payments were made under the Company’s Stock Compensation Plan. In January 2008, the Company paid fees in stock to its directors for board, meeting and committee fees for the 2007 year totaling $399,000. These payments were accrued as directors’ fees for 2007 and were made under the Company’s Stock Compensation Plan.

As of December 31, 2007 the Company owed a total of $561,103 to the related parties for consulting fees and expenses and for directors’ fees (December 31, 2006: $15,319).

F-11


In November 2007, the Company entered into a lease and option agreement with a director and officer for a property in Elfrida, Arizona. Bolsa is using the house for a field office and for temporary field accommodation and pays a market rent ($1,175/month) for the property. The Company also has an option to acquire the property for the amount of the mortgage debt outstanding on the property ($140,079 at December 31, 2007).

NOTE 7               FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, notes payable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. In each case, the fair value of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values, unless otherwise noted.

NOTE 8               SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operated in two reportable segments, these being the exploration for copper and zinc on its Hill Copper Project in Arizona and the exploration for gold on its Gavilanes Property in Mexico. Prior to June 2006, the Company was an exploration company with a property in Alaska. Following is the segment information for the periods ending December 31, 2007.

NOTE 9               BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

On July 5, 2006 the Company acquired 98% of the outstanding stock Minera Milenium in a transfer of benefit from ARI in a transaction accounted for as a business purchase. ARI was not a related party at the date of transfer. The net worth of Minera Milenium at fair value on July 5, 2006 was $(46). The primary reason for this acquisition was to acquire the rights to the option to earn a 100% interest in three mining claims/concessions in Durango, Mexico.

On August 17, 2006 the Company acquired 100% of ARI in a transaction accounted for as a business purchase, by issuing 10,000,000 shares for 100% of the outstanding stock of ARI. The net worth of ARI measured at fair value on August 17, 2006 was $(151,640). The primary reason for the acquisition was to acquire the 100% interest in thirteen mining claims on a property located in southeastern Arizona. The business objective of the company is now to progress the discovery, acquisition and exploration of advanced stage mineral properties with the potential to be expanded.

The purchase cost and the allocation of the purchase costs to ARI’s assets and liabilities (unaudited) are as follows:

Purchase cost            
    Amount     Value  
                   Issuance of Aurelio Resource Corporation common stock   10,000,000   $ (151,640 )
Allocation of Purchase Cost            
                 Current assets $ 10,875         
                 Equipments, net   1,239        
                 Accounts payable   (40,741 )      
                 Advance on investment   (103,150 )      
                 Accounts payable – related parties   (19,863 )      
                 Net Asset Value $ (151,640 )      

We note that while the Company was cognizant of the value to be gained from the unpatented mining claims being acquired in the acquisition of ARI, no arbitrary monetary value was established as part of the purchase price because the Company has no methodology or accounting policy for establishing or retaining such a value in its financial statements.

We calculated unaudited proforma results of operations for the seven months ended December 31, 2006, presented as if the acquisition of ARI had taken place on June 1, 2006. The results would have shown a net loss for the seven months ended December 31, 2006 of $969,863 or $(0.03) per share.

On May 15, 2006 our subsidiary, ARI, entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Hope Mining and Milling Company (“Hope MMC”), an Arizona corporation, concerning the acquisition by ARI of 30 patented mining claims known as the Courtland Claims and located in the Turquoise Mining District, Cochise County, Arizona. The purchase price for the subject property was $1,200,000 with a $250,000 down payment. The remaining balance of $950,000 is being carried on an interest-only four year term 6% straight line annual interest-only promissory note, secured by a deed of trust, with a balloon payment at the end of year four. On September 15, 2006, ARI, Bolsa and Hope MMC entered into an agreement amending the terms of the purchase agreement and, pursuant to the amending agreement, Bolsa accepted the assignment and completed the acquisition of the 30 patented mining claims from Hope MMC by making the down payment of $250,000.

In April 2007, we executed and made the initial payment under a purchase agreement with a subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation, whereby the Company is acquiring two patented mining claims covering 24 acres adjacent to our MAN claims in Cochise County, Arizona. The purchase price is $100,000, payable in four equal installments of $25,000 upon each of signing and six, nine and 12 months after the signing of the purchase agreement, whereupon the option will be exercised and the properties purchased. Newmont will also receive a 1% Net Smelter Returns Royalty on the patented claims and on any properties Aurelio currently owns or acquires within a designated Area of Interest. As the purchase price is for patented claims, the cost of the option payments is capitalized as incurred.

In April 2007, we also completed a mineral lease and option agreement with three individual owners of 65 "Gold Coin" mineral claims and three Arizona State Mineral Exploration Permits on the Hill Copper-Zinc Project in Cochise County, Arizona. The "Gold Coin" claims and the three Exploration Permits cover 1272 acres. These new properties are all located to the south and southeast of the MAN claims. The option agreement includes an initial payment of $20,000 with additional staged payments for a total cost of $1.5 million. In addition, there is a royalty of 1% of production of base metals and 2.5% of precious metals. As these payments are for unpatented claims and permits, the option payments will be expensed as incurred.

Effective August 6, 2007, through Bolsa, we executed and made a $10,000 down payment into escrow under an agreement to purchase 13 patented mining claims covering approximately 213 acres located on the northern edge of the MAN area, that is part of the Company’s Hill Copper-Zinc Project in Cochise County, Arizona. As part of the transaction, we also acquired approximately 744 acres of surface rights and an area to the west of the deposit and 292 acres of surface with mineral rights, known as the Rae Property. The purchase price is $1.3 million payable in five equal amounts over two years. We made a second earnest money payment of $40,000 into escrow on September 14, 2007, following the completion of inspection and further due diligence. Upon the closing of the acquisition following the completion and acceptance of a survey on the property, expected to be completed early in April 2008, Bolsa will pay the balance of the initial payment of $210,000. The balance of $1,040,000 will be paid in four equal installments together with simple interest at 7% per annum on the outstanding balance evidenced by a promissory note secured by a purchase money first deed of trust on the property. There is no royalty payable on production from any of the 13 patented mining claims.

On September 24, 2007 Bolsa entered into a purchase option agreement with Mrs. Kay B. Graham for the purchase of approximately 90% of the Courtland Townsite lots. These lots are real property interests held by fee simple in the Courtland Townsite area. Bolsa paid $25,000 as an option payment for the option which extends until January 31, 2010. The full purchase price of $125,000 is payable within 30 days of Bolsa giving notice and the option payment will be deducted from the purchase price. As the purchase price is for townsites, the cost of the option payment has been capitalized.

During 2007, the Company staked 17 new unpatented claims around the initial 13 MAN claims, including the area between the recently purchased Courtland claims and the MAN claims The Company also staked an additional five unpatented BLM lode mining claims to the north and northeast of the MAN deposit. These claims are adjacent to, as well as to the east of the patented Hope claims purchased in September of 2006 covering the Courtland area. The Company also applied for three Arizona State Mineral Exploration Permits covering an estimated 1,320 acres. The Exploration Permits are located to the south and southeast of the MAN deposit. As these payments are for unpatented claims and permits, the payments will be expensed as incurred.

On August 17, 2006 we issued 10,000,000 shares of our common stock to the shareholders of ARI, in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding common shares of ARI.

On September 29, 2006, we completed a private placement of four million shares of common stock at $0.40 per share for total gross proceeds of $1,600,000.

The Board decided in February 2007 to compensate directors for previous board, meeting and committee fees for the fiscal 2006 and for the period through February 1, 2007 and issued 237,110 shares of our stock at a market value of $0.97 per share for a non-cash cost totaling $230,000.

NOTE 15             STOCK OPTIONS

The board of directors adopted the 2006 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") on September 15, 2006 and reserved two million eight hundred thousand (2,800,000) common shares to be made available for grant under the Plan. On December 6, 2007, the board of directors amended the Plan by increasing the total shares reserved under the Plan to three million two hundred thousand (3,200,000) common shares available for grant. The purpose of the Plan is to afford the persons who provide services to our company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, whether directors, officers, consultants or employees of our company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, an opportunity to obtain a proprietary interest in our company by permitting them to purchase common shares of our stock and to aid in attracting, as well as retaining and encouraging the continued involvement of such persons with us. Under the terms of the Plan, the board of directors has full authority to administer the Plan in accordance with the terms of the Plan and at any time amend or revise the terms of the Plan provided, however, that no amendment or revision shall alter the terms of options already granted. The shareholders ratified and approved the adoption of the 2006 Stock Option Plan at the Annual General Meeting of Stockholders held on May 18, 2007.

Under the Plan, the exercise price of the shares covered by each option shall be determined by the directors and shall be not less than the closing price of our common shares on the stock exchange, quotation system or stock exchanges on which the shares are listed on the date of the grant or the day the fair market value is to be determined or the immediately preceding the day on which the stock is reported. If granted to an employee or director the per share exercise price shall be not less than the fair market value of the share on the date of the grant, unless the grant is to an employee who holds more than 10% of the voting power of our stock, in which case the per share exercise price shall be not less than 110% of the fair market value on the date of the grant. Options granted under the Plan vest immediately for non-employee directors and the vesting schedule for all others granted options under the Plan will be established by the Board or a committee appointed by the Board to administer the Plan on behalf of the Board. Our company has not established a separate committee to this date. Options granted under the Plan will not be transferable and, if they are not exercised, will expire thirty (30) days following the date the optionee ceases to be director, officer, employee or consultant of our company unless by death, in which case the option may be exercised within 12 months following the date of death.

At December 31, 2007, 875,000 options were available for grant under the Plan.

F-18


A summary of the status of the Plan as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, showing the grants made and options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2007 and the seven months ended December 31, 2006, is as follows:

    For the fiscal period ended December 31,  
    2007     2006  


 
Options

  Weighted
Average
Exercise Price
   
Options

  Weighted Average
Exercise Price

Outstanding beginning of period   500,000   $0.81     -     -  
Grant of options (825,000 exercisable)   1,825,000   $1.07     500,000   $0.81

Outstanding December 31   2,175,000   $1.01     500,000   $0.81  

The fair value of each option granted was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions: volatility 81%; risk-free interest rate of 4.97% to 5%; dividend yield of Nil; an expected life of between one and two and a half years. With respect to vesting, 325,000 options were granted during the first two quarters of 2007 with immediate vesting, and options to acquire 1,500,000 shares were vested as to one third on the date of grant and one third on each of the first and second anniversary of the grants. The weighted-average grant date fair market value of the 275,000 stock options granted during the first quarter was $0.43/share and for the 550,000 exercisable stock options granted during the second quarter was $0.52/share. All the non-exercisable stock options granted in the second quarter and outstanding at year-end (for 1,000,000 shares, which had a weighted-average grant date fair market value of $0.45/share), for which compensation expense had not been booked, were cancelled subsequent to year-end.

NOTE 16             STOCK COMPENSATION PLAN

The board of directors adopted the 2006 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Compensation Plan”) on October 12, 2006 and reserved 2,200,000 common shares to be made available for grant under the Compensation Plan. On December 6, 2007, the board of directors amended the Compensation Plan by increasing the total shares reserved under the Compensation Plan to three million two hundred thousand (3,200,000) common shares available for grant. The purpose of the Compensation Plan is to afford the persons who provide services to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, whether directors, officers, consultants or employees of our Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, an opportunity to obtain a proprietary interest in the Company by permitting them to be paid in common shares of our stock and to conserve our cash by being able to pay and consultants or others who provide services to us in shares in lieu of cash. Under the terms of the Compensation Plan, the board of directors has full authority to administer the Compensation Plan in accordance with the terms of the Compensation Plan and at any time to establish additional terms, conditions, rules or procedures for the Compensation Plan provided, however, that no such terms shall be inconsistent with the provisions of the Compensation Plan. The Company has no plans to repurchase stock.

The Board decided in February 2007 to compensate directors for previous board, meeting and committee fees for the fiscal 2006 and for the period through February 1, 2007 and issued 237,110 shares of our stock at a market value of $0.97 per share for a non-cash cost totaling $230,000. These payments were made under the Company’s Stock Compensation Plan. On March 2, 2007 we issued a further 16,990 shares to consultants at $1.03 per share for a total non-cash cost of $17,500.

At December 31, 2007, 2,945,900 shares were available for grant under the Compensation Plan.

F-19


NOTE 17             INCOME TAXES

The Company has net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $4.25 million (December 31, 2006 $1,069,276) available for deduction against future years’ taxable income. The valuation allowance increased to approximately $1.45 million (December 31, 2006 $378,590) during the year ended December 31, 2007, since the realization of the net operating loss carry-forwards is doubtful. It is reasonably possible that our estimate of the valuation allowance will change. The operating loss carry-forwards will expire between 2019 and 2022.

NOTE 18             SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On February 15, 2008, the Company entered into and closed a $1,000,000 equity financing agreement with European institutional investors.

(1) We have estimated these amounts.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Nevada corporation law provides that:

- a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director, Officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a Director, Officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful;

- Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been judged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper; and

- to the extent that a Director, Officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense.

We may make any discretionary indemnification only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made:

44


- by our stockholders;

- by our board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding;

- if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion;

- if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

- by court order.

Our bylaws provide that we have the power to indemnify, to the greatest allowable extent permitted under the General Corporate Laws of Nevada, directors or officers of our company for any duties or obligations arising out of any acts or conduct of the officer or director performed for or on behalf of our company. This includes the power to defend such persons from all suits or claims as allowable under the provisions of the General Corporate Law of Nevada. We will reimburse each such person for all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with any such claim or liability as the expenses are incurred and before the final disposition of the proceeding in question or repay the amount if a court finds that the director or officer is not entitled to indemnification by the company.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of our company under Nevada law or otherwise, we have been advised the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than payment by us for expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of our company in successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

The following sets forth certain information concerning securities which were sold or issued by us within the past three years without the registration of the securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on exemptions from such registration requirements.

On April 4, 2008, we issued an aggregate of 267,855 shares of common stock to five (5) officers and directors of our company, as partial payment for professional/consulting services rendered in lieu of a cash payment. The common stock was issued to five U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933 [the "Act"]) relying on the exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Act and upon Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Act. The shares are issued under our Incentive Stock Compensation Plan which was registered with the SEC on Form S-8 in January 2007 and amended on December 6, 2007.

On February 26, 2008, we issued 10% convertible debentures for gross proceeds of $1,500,000 to five institutional investors. In conjunction with this financing, we issued (i) 3,750,000 Series A common share purchase warrants with an initial exercise date of August 26, 2008 which will be exercisable for five years with an actual exercise price at issuance of $0.35 per share of common stock and (ii) 4,999,999 Series B common share purchase warrants are exercisable from the time of issue for 18 months, with an actual exercise price at issuance of $0.35 per share of common stock. We paid a finder's fee equal to 6% of the value of the transaction, or $90,000, payable in cash, and 3% of the value of the transaction, or $45,000, payable in each of Series A and Series B warrants. These securities were issued pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Section 4(2) and Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act to purchasers who are "accredited investors"

45


within the meaning ascribed to that term in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities.

On February 25, 2008, we entered into a $1,000,000 equity financing with European institutional investors as described in the exhibit to our current report on Form 8-K filed on February 29, 2008, pursuant to which we issued 3,333,334 units, with each unit equal to one common share and one-half warrant at a warrant exercise price of $0.50 per share, exercisable for five years. These securities were issued in reliance on Section 4(2) and/or Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Proceeds will be used to fund working capital, corporate purposes and to further exploration and development of the Hill Copper-Zinc Project in Arizona.

On January 14, 2008 we issued an aggregate of 1,402,331 shares of common stock to seven (7) officers and directors of our company, for services rendered in lieu of a cash payment. The common stock was issued to seven U.S. persons, as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, relying on the exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Act and upon Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Act.

Item 17. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)             To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                   (i)             to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 ; and,

49


                   (ii)             to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of a prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the change in volume and price represents no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

                   (iii)             to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2)             That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)             To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)             That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use

(5)             That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

                   (i)             Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§ 230.424 of this chapter);

                   (ii)             Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

                   (iii)             The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

                   (iv)             Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(6)             The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supplement the prospectus, after the expiration of the subscription period, to set forth the results of the subscription offer, the transactions by the selling stockholders during the subscription period, the amount of unsubscribed securities to be purchased by the selling stockholders, and the terms of any subsequent reoffering thereof. If any public offering by the selling stockholders is to be made

50


on terms differing from those set forth on the cover page of the prospectus, a post-effective amendment will be filed to set forth the terms of such offering.

(7)             Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person connected with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(8)             Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
