After reviewing the geology and grade continuity from previous drilling on the Molly Resource at the Sao Domingos project, the Company is pleased to announce that drilling is scheduled to begin within the next 2 weeks. Drilling will target extensions of the current resource as well as to infill current drilling to increase the confidence levels. The Company plans to define 3 years worth of reserves over the next 6 months to enable feasibility studies to be conducted on a 300,000 tonne/year processing facility with the view to commencing production in 2008. Currently the resource still remains open along strike in both directions and at depth. Aurora will continue to evaluate the potential, and is confident that Molly could evolve and link up with other noted targets further along strike. A geophysical survey is planned for later in the year to test the strike continuity of the Molly mineralised structure. 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 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.
