Aurora Gold Corporation Is Pleased to Announce That the Company Has Completed a JORC Compliant Resource Estimate for the Fofoca Target on the Sao Domingos Project Located in the Tapajos Gold Province, State of Para, Brazil

ZUG, SWITZERLAND -- (Marketwire - October 01, 2010) - Aurora Gold Corporation (the "Company," or "Aurora") (OTCBB: ARXG), a mineral exploration company focusing on exploration and development in the Tapajos Gold Province, State of Pará, Brazil, and the Front Range Gold Project located in Boulder County, Colorado, today is issuing this press release to update its shareholders on the São Domingos project located in the Tapajos Gold Province, State of Pará, Brazil.

A resource estimate has been completed for the Fofoca target on the São Domingos project located in the Tapajos Gold Province, State of Pará, Brazil. The results were calculated in accordance with the Australasian Joint Ore Reserves Committee (the "JORC") code for reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the "JORC Code").

The JORC compliant resource report was prepared by Geosure Exploration and Mining Solutions Pty. Ltd.

The summary of the resource report is tabulated below.

A 2008 interpretation of the ground based geophysical survey discovered a magnetic and IP anomaly approximately 300 meters in length immediately to the west of the known Fofoca resource. This geophysical response is coincident with significant gold mineralization uncovered by surface trenching of quartz veins. This geophysical anomaly is potentially a western extension of known mineralization at Fofoca. Aurora believes there is significant opportunity to increase the current resource estimate. Aurora is planning to drill test the geophysical anomalies in the near future.

Aurora's common stock is also traded on the Stuttgart and the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchanges in Germany under the symbol "(STUT: A4G) (FRANKFURT: A4G.F) (XETRA: A4G) (BERLIN: A4G)."
