Organization, Business Strategy and Going Concern

Organisation

Aurora Gold Corporation ("the Company") was formed on October 10, 1995 under the laws of the State of Delaware and is in the business of location, acquisition, exploration and, if warranted, development of mineral properties. The Company's focus is on the exploration and development of its exploration properties located in the Tapajos Gold Province, State of Pará, Brazil (refer Notes). The Company has not yet determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that may be economically recoverable and has not generated any operating revenues to date.

The Company is a junior mineral exploration company and conducts principal and technical activities from Coresco AG, Level 3, Gotthardstrasse 20, 6304 Zug, Switzerland. The telephone number is (+41) 41 711 0281. These offices are provided to the Company on a month-to-month basis. The Company believes these offices are adequate for the business requirements during the next 12 months. The Company does not own any real property.

Business Strategy

The general business strategy is to acquire mineral properties either directly or through the acquisition of operating entities. The continued operations and the recoverability of minerals are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, confirmation of interest in the underlying properties and ability to obtain necessary financing to complete the development and future profitable production. Since 1996 the Company acquired and disposed of a number of properties. The Company has not been successful in any exploration efforts to establish reserves on any of the properties owned by or in which the Company holds an interest.

The Company currently has an interest in a strategic land package of six (6) properties none of which contain any reserves.

Going Concern

The Company has no revenues, and has sustained losses since inception. The Company will not generate revenues even if any of its exploration programs indicate that a mineral deposit may exist on the properties. Accordingly, the Company will be dependent on future financings in order to maintain operations and continue exploration activities.

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The general business strategy of the Company is to acquire mineral properties either directly or through the acquisition of operating entities. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses since inception, has not generated any operating revenues to date and during the quarter ended March 31, 2013, operating activities used cash of $745,385 (March 31, 2012: $171,970). The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and maintain its operations.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in this regard are to raise equity financing through private or public equity investment in order to support existing operations and expand its business. There is however no assurance that such additional funding will be available to the Company when required, or on terms acceptable to the Company. In the event that the Company cannot obtain additional funds, on a timely basis, or the operations do not generate sufficient cash flow, the Company may be forced to curtail development or cease activities. These interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

The Company has no revenues, has sustained losses since inception, has been issued an opinion expressing substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern by the auditors and relies upon the sale of securities to fund operations. The Company will not generate revenues even if any of exploration programs indicate that a mineral deposit may exist on the properties. Accordingly, the Company will be dependent on future financings in order to maintain operations and continue exploration activities.

The properties are in the exploration stage only and without a known body of mineral reserves. Development of the properties will follow only if satisfactory exploration results are obtained. Mineral exploration and development involves a high degree of risk and few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. There is no assurance that the mineral exploration and development activities will result in any discoveries of commercially viable bodies of mineralization. The long-term profitability of the operations will be, in part, directly related to the cost and success of the exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors.

The Company has not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings.
