The third quarter was highlighted by the following activities:

- At Joanna, an updated mineral resources estimate of 630,000 ounces of gold in the indicated mineral resource category and 1.42 million ounces in the inferred mineral category. This represents a gain of 53% and 12% respectively.

- At Kipawa, uranium, rare earth element oxides and gold clustered anomalies associated with airborne radiometric anomalies were discovered.

- Agreement signed with Lake Shore Gold Corp. to accelerate exploration outside the mining lease at Casa Berardi.

- Letter of intent signed with Vantex Resources Ltd. to acquire a 75% interest in two claims located along strike of the gold bearing horizons at Joanna.

"Casa Berardi delivered a strong operating performance, resulting in record cash flow for the Company," said David P. Hall, President and Chief Executive Officer. "In addition, exploration success at Joanna and Kipawa continues to create value for our shareholders."

CASH RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

At September 30, 2007, Aurizon had cash balances of $46.1 million, of which $39.5 million is in restricted accounts that may be used to fund the Casa Berardi project and service the project debt, compared to cash balances of $28.8 million ($19.3 million restricted) at the beginning of the year. The restricted cash balances will be released upon achievement of certain operating benchmarks anticipated in 2008.

Working capital totaled $24.2 million at September 30, 2007, compared to working capital of $29.8 million at the beginning of the year. Long term debt at September 30, 2007 totaled $45.2 million, compared to $68.8 million at the beginning of the year. Two principal payments of $12.9 million due in March and September 2008, for a total of $25.8 million, has resulted in a reduction of long term debt and an increase in current liabilities.

CASA BERARDI

Casa Berardi produced 48,305 ounces of gold in the third quarter of 2007, compared to 42,143 ounces and 32,284 ounces in the second and first quarters of 2007, respectively, for total gold production of 122,462 ounces in the first nine months of 2007. The 15% increase in gold production is primarily related to higher volumes of ore throughput.

Ore throughput in the mill during the third quarter increased to 152,025 tonnes from 134,569 tonnes in the second quarter of 2007. The average ore grade increased to 10.6 grams/tonne from 10.3 grams/tonne achieved in the first half of 2007. Mill recoveries of 92.8% were achieved in the quarter, slightly lower than the 93.8% achieved in the first half of 2007.

The average daily mine production increased to 1,652 tonnes per day from 1,604 tonnes per day in the second quarter.

On a unit cost basis, total cash costs per ounce of gold sold were US$282, down from US$298 in the second quarter.

The average processed grades in 2007 are about 35% higher than the average grade of the West Mine reserves. The production grades are expected to trend back to the reserve grade in 2008, resulting in higher cash costs per ounce.

Unit mining costs in the third quarter of 2007, were $94/tonne, 11% lower than the second quarter costs of $106/tonne, due primarily to higher ore throughput.

Since commissioning the mill in November 2006, Casa Berardi has produced 140,193 ounces of gold.

OUTLOOK

Casa Berardi Mine

Labour force issues that are currently facing the mining industry in general, will continue to impact the scaling up of mine production. Daily production is expected to be maintained at 1,650 tonnes per day for the balance of 2007 and increase to 1,800 tonnes per day in 2008, supported by the flexibility provided from having access to the Northwest and Lower Inter Zones. In the fourth quarter, ore grades are expected to be lower than the high grades achieved to date in 2007. As a result the Company expects Casa Berardi to produce approximately 165,000 ounces of gold for the year, compared to the previously announced forecast of 170,000 - 180,000 ounces.

The recent significant strengthening of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar will have a negative impact on Aurizon's future earnings as the U.S. dollar gold sales are converted into Canadian dollars. To date, rising gold prices have mitigated the impact of the strong Canadian dollar. Using a CDN/US dollar exchange rate of 0.95 for the fourth quarter, total cash costs of US$330 per ounce are forecast for the second half of 2007 compared to the previous guidance of US$300-US$320 per ounce.

Capital and exploration expenditures in the fourth quarter of 2007 are expected to be approximately $6.1 million, of which $3.6 million will be spent at Casa Berardi on sustaining capital and $0.9 million on exploration, with the $1.6 million balance to be incurred on further exploration at the Joanna and Kipawa properties.

It is anticipated that development costs will increase in 2008 in order to support the increased mine production. The current production grades experienced in 2007 are expected to gradually trend back to the current ore reserve grades, which will result in higher cash costs per ounce in 2008.

Joanna Gold Property

Three rigs are currently active on the property with the following objectives:

- Drilling targets situated to the west of the western resource block and between the western and eastern resource blocks to extend the mineralization and increase resources.

- Infill drilling in the area of the existing resource blocks to upgrade the quality of the resources.

- Deep drilling to depths of 700 metres below the eastern resource block to test the depth potential.

Environmental studies, geotechnical and metallurgical testwork are in progress. A contract has been awarded to Breton, Banville & Associates "BBA" to complete a preliminary economic assessment study early in the first quarter of 2008.

Kipawa Property

In addition to the gold potential at Kipawa, the recent discovery of rare earth elements and uranium has opened additional value creation opportunities for Aurizon, as these elements potentially provide solutions to future global energy and environmental challenges.

Surface drilling and trenching should be initiated upon receipt of final approvals by government agencies and First Nations.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO US READERS

As a British Columbia corporation, the Company is subject to certain rules and regulations issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission ("BC Securities Commission"). The Company is required to provide detailed information regarding its properties including mineralization, drilling, sampling and analysis, security of samples and mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates. Further, the Company describes mineral resources associated with its properties utilizing terminology such as "indicated" or "inferred" which terms are recognized by Canadian regulations but are not recognized by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Regarding Mineral Resources

The SEC allows mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits they can economically and legally extract or produce. The Company may use certain terms in this document, such as "mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred resources" that are recognized and mandated by Canadian securities regulators but are not recognized by the SEC.

This Report may use the term "indicated" resources. U.S. readers are cautioned that while that term is recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize it. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in this category will ever be converted into mineral reserves.

This Report may also use the term "inferred" resources. U.S. readers are cautioned that while this term is recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the SEC does not recognize it. "Inferred resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.
