AURORA GOLD CORPORATION
- -----------------------

Item 4.01  Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant

Effective January 7, 2006, Aurora Gold Corporation (the "Company") dismissed its
prior  independent  public  accountant,  Moore  Stephens  Ellis  Foster Ltd. and
retained  as its new independent public accountant Peterson Sullivan PLLC. Moore
Stephens Ellis Foster Ltd.'s report on the Company's financial statements during
the  most  recent  fiscal  year  contained  no  adverse opinion or disclaimer of
opinion,  nor  was  it  qualified  or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or
accounting  principles, except that the report was qualified as to the Company's
ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern.

The  decision  to  change  accountants  was  approved  by the Company's Board of
Directors.

During  the  last  two  fiscal  years  and the subsequent interim period through
February  7,  2006,  there  were  no disagreements between the Company and Moore
Stephens Ellis Foster Ltd. on any matters of accounting principles or practices,
financial  statement  disclosure,  or  auditing  scope  or  procedure,  which
disagreements,  if  not  resolved  to  the  satisfaction of Moore Stephens Ellis
Foster  Ltd.,  would have caused it to make a reference to the subject matter of
disagreements  in  connection with its report. There were no "reportable events"
as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-B within the last
fiscal  year  and  through  February  7,  2006.

The  Company  has made the contents of this Form 8-K available to Moore Stephens
Ellis  Foster Ltd. and has requested Moore Stephens Ellis Foster Ltd. furnish it
with  a  letter  addressed  to  the  Securities  and Exchange Commission stating
whether  Moore  Stephens Ellis Foster Ltd agrees or disagrees with, or wishes to
clarify the Company's expression of their views. A copy of the letter from Moore
Stephens Ellis Foster Ltd. to the Securities and Exchange Commission is filed as
Exhibit  16  to  this  Current  Report  on  Form  8-K.

Effective  February  7,  2006, the Company engaged Peterson Sullivan PLLC as its
new  independent  registered public accountants to audit the Company's financial
statements.  The  appointment  of  Peterson  Sullivan  PLLC  was recommended and
approved by the Company's board of directors. During the Company's last two most
recent  fiscal  years  and  the  subsequent  interim  period to date hereof, the
Company  has  not  consulted  Peterson  Sullivan  PLLC regarding either: (1) the
application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either complete
or  proposed,  or  the  type  of  audit  opinion  that  might be rendered on the
Company's  financial  statements,  or (2) any matter that was either the subject
matter of a disagreement as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-B or a
reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-B.

undersigned  hereunto  duly  authorized.
