Exploration at the Santa Isabel property has focused on a series of parallel gold bearing quartz veins. Aurora Gold is now confident that mapping of the vein systems and the anomalous high grade out crop and soil assay results will lead to similar intersections at depth. Soil sampling has also revealed a series of NW striking gold anomalies sub parallel to the known mineralisation and Aurora Gold is interpreted these to represent lateral extensions to the mineralisation. Aurora Gold is a mineral exploration company focusing on the exploration and development of its 5 exploration properties totalling 44,469 hectares in the Tapajos Gold Province, State of Para, Brazil. The property areas were selected due to their proximity to known gold occurrences and from historical records of gold production. The lithologies associated with the properties are similar to those that have proven to be the host of significant gold occurrences elsewhere in the Tapajos. Aurora Gold's stock trades on the following exchanges under the symbol "ARXG" on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board in the United States of America, under the symbols "A4G.FSE" and "A4G.ETR" on the Frankfurt Exchange and "A4G.BER" on the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchanges in Germany.
