Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - AurCrest Gold Inc. (the “Company” or “AurCrest”) (TSX-V: AGO) (FRANKFURT: TM8A, WKN: A0YG1K) is pleased to announce the signing of a significant mineral claim staking agreement with the Cat Lake First Nation, to support and assist the staking of mineral claims within the traditional territory of the First Nation for purposes of opening future resource development opportunities.

“I am pleased and positive that the ongoing relationship building efforts of AurCrest Gold with our local First Nations has resulted in the signing of this milestone agreement for the Company, building on the traditional and historic knowledge of the Cat Lake membership to bring new opportunities to the mineral development industry in Northwestern Ontario,” said President & CEO Christopher Angeconeb. “The approach toward reconciliation with First Nations has, for the Company, been focused on inclusion of and partnership with the First Nations proximal to our claim holdings and areas of activity. By moving beyond consultation and accommodation, the Company hopes to foster an environment of socioeconomic growth and wealth generation for our local First Nations and their memberships, while growing Company shareholder value.”
