Item 5.02  Departure of  Directors  or  Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
           Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
           Officers

The  Board  of Aurora Gold Corporation (the "Company", "Aurora Gold") is pleased
to  announce  the appointment of Mr. Lars Pearl as President and Chief Executive
Officer and Mr. Michael Montgomery to the board of directors and the resignation
of  Mr.  Klaus Eckhof as President, Chief Executive Officer and director and the
resignation  of  Mr.  Antonino  Cacace  as  a  director.

Mr.  Pearl  is  a  geologist and has been involved in the mining industry for 22
years  with  experience  in  mining  and exploration in Australia, Africa, South
America,  Russia and Kazakhstan.  Mr. Pearl has been a consultant to Aurora Gold
Corporation  for the past 2 years and is currently President and Chief Executive
Officer  of  Cigma  Metals  Corporation,  a  mineral  exploration  company  with
interests  in  Russia  and  Kazakhstan.

Mr.  Montgomery is a geologist and has over 18 years' experience in the minerals
sector.  He  has  held  senior positions in both exploration and operations with
companies  such as Consolidated Minerals, Goldfields Australia and KCGM (Barrick
50%  Newmont  50%  JV).  Mr.  Montgomery  has  worked  with  a  diverse range of
commodities  including  gold,  copper, diamonds, nickel, manganese, chromite and
iron ore.  He has undertaken post-graduate studies in mineral economics and mine
planning  and  is  a  member  of  AusIMM.

The  Company  advises  that  Mr.  Klaus  Eckhof has resigned as President, Chief
Executive  Officer  and  Director  of  the Company effective April 30, 2007. Mr.
Eckhof  leaves to pursue other business opportunities, and leaves the company in
a  period of consolidation as the Company plans to move into a production phase.
The  Board would like to acknowledge the significant contribution Mr. Eckhof has
made  to  the  Company  since  he was appointed as CEO and President in 2005 and
wishes  him  well  in  his  future  endeavors.

Also, the Company advises that Mr. Antonino Cacace has resigned as a director of
the  Company  as  of  April 20, 2007 after serving as a director since 1995. The
Board  wishes  to thank Mr. Cacace for his valuable contribution to the Company.

The  Company  intends  to  fast  track  its  Molly resource into feasibility and
simultaneously  tests the Sao Joao deposit for a series of high-grade gold veins
to  compliment  the  Molly  resource.

Aurora  Gold  is  a  mineral exploration company focusing on the exploration and
development  of its 7 exploration properties in the Tapajos Gold Province, State
of  Para,  Brazil.  The  project  areas  were selected due to their proximity to
known  gold  occurrences  and  from  historical records of gold production.  The
lithologies  associated  with the projects 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
