Aurora Gold Corporation Is Pleased to Announce That the Company Has Engaged SRK Consulting to Look at Conceptual Level Designs and Potential Locations of a New Tailings Dam Facility at the Front Range Gold Project

ZUG, SWITZERLAND -- (Marketwire - November 22, 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 Front Range Gold project ("FRGP") located in Boulder County, Colorado.

Aurora is pleased to announce that it has engaged the services of SRK Consulting (U.S.) Inc. to develop conceptual level designs, locations and costing for the construction of a new tailings facility at Aurora's FRGP. As a function of limited volume in the existing tailings facility a new facility needs to be designed and constructed to accommodate the planned production schedule. The new dam will be located on patented claims to the east of the mill and existing tailings impoundment.

Aurora's President and CEO, Mr. Lars Pearl, commented, "Aurora is pleased to have SRK associated with the tailings dam design at the FRGP. The new tailings dam is integral to Aurora's plan to commence production in 2011 and is scheduled to be constructed in the Spring 2011."

FRGP is located some 15 kilometers from the town of Boulder, Colorado and has been a centre for gold mining since the discovery of gold in the district in the mid-1800s. In June 2010 Aurora acquired a 50% equity interest in the Black Cloud Mine, a 50 ton/day gravity flotation plant and an operating agreement from Global Minerals Ltd. Production from the area to date is in excess of 100,000 ounces of gold and 400,000 ounces of silver.

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