Aurion Sells Interest in Lavington Property

Aurion Resources Ltd. (“Aurion”) (TSX VENTURE: “AU”) reports that it has agreed to amend the Lavington property option agreement with Asher Resources Corp (TSX-V:ACN) and Cazador Resources Ltd.. Aurion acquired a 100% interest in the Lavington copper-gold property from Cazador (see Press Release dated Oct 14, 2009) and subsequently optioned it to Asher in late 2011 (see press release dated Oct 24, 2011). Under the terms of the amendment, Asher has elected to accelerate its earn-in on the property by issuing to Aurion 650,000 common shares and issuing to Cazador 250,000 common shares in lieu of the next and final payments, subject to regulatory approval.

Following the share issuances, Asher will have a 100-per-cent legal and beneficial interest in the Lavington property subject to completing its final work commitment by June 30, 2014. An advance royalty payment of $40,000 per annum will remain payable to Cazador and a 2-per-cent net-smelter-returns royalty has been reserved to each of Aurion and Cazador.

Mike Basha, P.Eng., P.Geo., President and CEO of Aurion, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, is responsible for the preparation of this release.
