In April 2026, the company entered into an agreement with St-Georges to jointly advance the Thor Epithermal Gold Project located in Iceland. This collaboration aims to accelerate the exploration and potential development of the project.
On the financing front, Aurania has been active in securing capital.

Additionally, Aurania secured new exploration licenses in Brittany, France, in December 2025.
Aurania also maintains significant interests in South America, particularly in Ecuador.
