This quarterly report contains statements that plan for or anticipate the future and are not historical facts. In this Report these forward looking statements are generally identified by words such as “anticipate,” “plan,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” and the like. Because forward-looking statements involve future risks and uncertainties, these are factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the estimated results. These risks and uncertainties are detailed in this report. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which provides a “safe harbor” for such statements, may not apply to this Report.

Uncertainties Relating To Forward-Looking Statements

The information in this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act (SEC) of 1934. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding the Company’s capital needs, business strategy and expectations. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”, or “continue”, the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. Actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors, including the risks outlined from time to time, in other reports the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The information constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements in this form are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed in or implied by the statements contained in this report. As a result, the identification and interpretation of data and other information and their use in developing and selecting assumptions from and among reasonable alternatives requires the exercise of judgment. To the extent that the assumed events do not occur, the outcome may vary substantially from anticipated or projected results, and accordingly, no opinion is expressed on the achievability of those forward-looking statements. No assurance can be given that any of the assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements specified in the following information are accurate.

All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of filing of this form and the Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update these statements, or disclose any difference between its actual results and those reflected in these statements. The Company may, from time to time, make oral forward-looking statements. The Company strongly advises that the above paragraphs and the risk factors described in this Report and in the Company’s other documents filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission should be read for a description of certain factors that could cause the actual results of the Company to materially differ from those in the oral forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any oral or written forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

QUARTERLY REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.	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 to Note 3). 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) 417110281. 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 proven 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 nine months ended September 30, 2013, operating activities used cash of $2,519,079 (September 30, 2012: $381,481). 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.

QUARTERLY REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

1. Organization, Business Strategy and Going Concern (Continued)

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.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Preparation

The Company follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The FASB sets accounting principles generally accepted (GAAP) in the United States that the Company follows to ensure they consistently report their financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) or also referred to as Codification.

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Aurora Gold Mineração Ltda ("Aurora Gold Mineração") and AGC Resources LLC (“AGC”) (through to date of disposition of AGC, June 14, 2011). Collectively, they are referred to herein as "the Company". Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in interim consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations. The interim period consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. In the opinion of the management of the Company, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein contain all adjustments (consisting of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented.

(b) Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Cash equivalents comprise certain highly liquid instruments with a maturity date of three months or less when purchased. The Company has cash and cash equivalents of $965,888 as at September 30, 2013 ($3,963,836 as at December 31, 2012). Amounts paid for income taxes during the three and nine months September 30, 2013 and 2012 were nil; and for interest paid nil respectively.

QUARTERLY REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(d) Vehicles and Equipment

Vehicles and equipment are carried at cost (including development and preproduction costs, capitalized interest, other financing costs and all direct administrative support costs incurred during the construction period, net of cost recoveries and incidental revenues), less accumulated depletion and depreciation including write-downs. Following the construction period, interest, other financing costs and administrative costs are expensed as incurred. Buildings and equipment utilized directly in commercial mining activities are depreciated, following the commencement of commercial production, over their expected economic lives using either the unit-of-production method or the straight-line method. Depreciation is provided over the following useful lives:

-	Vehicles	5 years
-	Office equipment, furniture and fixtures	2 to 10 years

The Company reviews the carrying values of its vehicles and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. Impairment is considered to exist if total estimated future cash flows, or probability-weighted cash flows on an undiscounted basis, are less than the carrying value of the assets. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows associated with values beyond proven and probable reserves and resources. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable future cash flows that are largely independent of cash flows from other asset groups. Generally, in estimating future cash flows, all assets are grouped at a particular property for which there are identifiable cash flows.

All vehicles and equipment are located in Brazil.

(e) Mineral Property Reclamation Bonds and Other Related Refundable Costs

Costs paid for the purchase of reclamation bonds and other related costs that are refundable are capitalized. If amounts paid are not to be refunded then they will be expensed when it is determined they will not be refunded.

(f) Mineral Properties and Exploration Expenses

The Company accounts for its mineral properties on a cost basis whereby all direct costs, net of pre-production revenue, relative to the acquisition of the properties are capitalized. All sales and option proceeds received are first credited against the costs of the related property, with any excess credited to earnings. Once commercial production has commenced, the net costs of the applicable property will be charged to operations using the unit-of-production method based on estimated proven and probable recoverable reserves. The net costs related to abandoned properties are charged to operations.

Exploration costs are charged to operations as incurred until such time that proven reserves are discovered. From that time forward, the Company will capitalize all costs to the extent that future cash flow from mineral reserves equals or exceeds the costs deferred. The deferred costs will be amortized over the recoverable reserves when a property reaches commercial production. As at the reporting period ended, the Company does not have proven reserves. Exploration activities conducted jointly with others are reflected at the Company's proportionate interest in such activities.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (EXPRESSED IN U.S. DOLLARS)

QUARTERLY REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

The Company reviews the carrying values of its mineral properties on a regular basis by reference to the project economics including the timing of the exploration or development work, the program of works and the exploration results experienced by the Company and others. The review of the carrying value of any producing property will be made by reference to the estimated future operating results and net cash flows. When the carrying value of a property exceeds its estimated net recoverable amount, provision is made for the decline in value.

The recoverability of the amounts recorded for mineral properties is dependent on the confirmation of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to successfully complete their development and the attainment of future profitable operations or proceeds from disposal.

Estimated costs related to site restoration programs during the commercial development stage of the property are accrued over the life of the project.

(g) Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based payments under the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation consistent with GAAP. Under the fair value method, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is recognized to expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. Where upon grant the options vest immediately the stock-based costs are expensed immediately.

(h) Interest Expense

Interest expense for the periods ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012 were nil.

(i) Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The Company's reporting currency is the United States Dollar (USD). Aurora Gold Mineração Ltda is a foreign operation and its functional currency is the Brazilian Real (Real). Certain contractual obligations in these interim consolidated financial statements are stated in Brazilian Real’s. At the period ended September 30, 2013 the Brazilian Real exchange rate to the USD was $0.4460 to 1 Real (September 30, 2012: USD $0.49290 to 1 Real).

The Company translates foreign assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries, other than those denominated in USD, at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses of these subsidiaries are translated at the average rate of exchange throughout the reporting period. Gains or losses from these translations are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) until all or a part of the investment in the subsidiaries is sold or liquidated. The translation adjustments do not recognize the effect of income tax because the Company expects to reinvest the amounts indefinitely in operations. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists entirely of foreign currency translation adjustments at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local functional currency are included in foreign exchange (gain) loss in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

(j) Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions in Brazil and Canada. The Company occasionally has cash deposits in excess of federally insured limits. The Company had funds deposited in banks beyond the insured limits as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these balances, and management believes the credit risk to be minimal.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(k) Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Risks

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair value.

Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The Company operates outside of the United States of America (primarily in Brazil) and is exposed to foreign currency risk due to the fluctuation between the currency in which the Company operates in and the USD.

(l) Income Taxes

The Company has adopted ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the Company to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. In July 2006, the FASB issued an interpretation, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Estimated interest and penalties related to recording uncertain tax positions when recorded are included as a component of income tax expense on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company has not recorded any liabilities for uncertain tax positions or any related interest and penalties. The Company’s tax returns are open to audit for the years ending December 31, 2008 to 2012.

(m) Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period including common stock issued effective the date committed. Common stock issuable is considered outstanding as of the original approval date for the purposes of earnings per share computations. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the sum of (a) the basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year and (b) additional shares that would have been issued and potentially dilutive securities. During the periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 the diluted earnings (loss) per share was equivalent to the basic earnings (loss) per share because all potentially dilutive securities were anti-dilutive due to the net losses incurred. Potentially dilutive securities consist of stock options and warrants outstanding at the end of the reporting period. Stock options outstanding as at September 30, 2013 were 1,930,000 (September 30, 2012: 1,930,000). Warrants outstanding as at September 30, 2013 were nil (1,600,000 lapsed during the prior quarter) (September 30, 2012: 1,600,000).

(n) Reverse Stock Split

The Company has retroactively adjusted all share and per share information to reflect the reverse stock split, discussed in Note 5, in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, as well as throughout the rest of this Report for all periods presented.

a) DNPM Processes 850.684/06: 1,985.91 ha

Aurora has good title over the mineral rights object of the DNPM Process No. 850.684/06, which is valid and in force, free and clear of any judicial and extrajudicial encumbrances and taxes. Aurora is the sole registered and beneficial holder of and owns and possesses good title to the referred mineral rights. On September 13, 2006 Aurora submitted to DNPM one Exploration Claim for gold covering an area of 4914.18 ha in the Municipality of Itaituba, State of Pará. According to the information obtained such claim was correctly prepared and the required documents are in place but the area will be reduced to 1,985.91 due to overlapping with third parties’ areas with priority rights. The Exploration Permit has not been granted yet. The above-mentioned area is not related to any payments or royalties to third parties since Aurora claimed them directly.

6. Stock Options (continued)

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value for all “in-the-money” options (i.e. the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the fiscal year and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of each date presented.

The total fair value of options granted for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was nil (September 30, 2012: $nil) and expensed in full as options were vested in full on grant. The fair value of options are determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the expected life of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option. Management determined 2.50 years to be the average expected likely life of the options and utilized the simplified method due to the fact that the Company has not had significant options granted to develop historical data to provide a reasonable basis to estimate option lives.

The total fair value of options granted for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was nil (June 30, 2012: $11,979) and expensed in full as options were vested in full on grant. The fair value of options are determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the expected life of the option, the share price at grant date (April 10, 2012) and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield (nil assumed) and the risk free interest rate (4.50% used) for the term of the option. Management determined 2.50 years to be the average expected likely life of the options and utilized the simplified method due to the fact that the Company has not had significant options granted to develop historical data to provide a reasonable basis to estimate option lives. Volatility rates were calculated at the grant date of each option tranche and rates of 161.04% respectively were used.

The total fair value of options granted for the period ended March 31, 2013 was nil (March 31, 2012: $43,681) and expensed in full as options were vested in full on grant. The fair value of options are determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the expected life of the option, the share price at grant date (January 13, 2012) and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield (nil assumed) and the risk free interest rate (4.50% used) for the term of the option. Management determined 2.50 years to be the average expected likely life of the options and utilized the simplified method due to the fact that the Company has not had significant options granted to develop historical data to provide a reasonable basis to estimate option lives. Volatility rates were calculated at the grant date of each option tranche and rates of 120.89% were used.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, Cameron Richardson departed the Company, an exercise notice for the 40,000 options held was not lodged and consequently the options lapsed during the quarter.

Effective January 13, 2012, the Company’s board of directors granted 320,000 stock purchase options pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Stock Option Plan. Each of the Options has an issue date, effective date and vesting date of January 13, 2012, with an exercise price of $0.25 per share. The term of these Options are five years. The Options are exercisable at any time from the grant date up to and including January 12,2017.

As of September 30, 2013, there are nil outstanding Warrants to purchase shares of common stock. All warrants previously outstanding lapsed on June 20, 2013.

Mr. Doyle will continue to act as the Chief Financial Officer of Aurora. Also, on October 10, 2013, Gorden Glenn consented to and was appointed as an additional director of Aurora by the board of directors.

Effective October 22, 2013, Aurora effected a consolidation of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a one-for-five basis (the “Reverse Split” ), without decreasing its authorized capital, but increasing the par value from $0.001 per share to $0.005 per share. Accordingly, Aurora’s issued and outstanding shares were decreased from 249,144,706 shares of common stock to approximately 49,828,942 shares of common stock (not accounting for fractional share interests being rounded up to the next whole number). The Reverse Split was approved on July 24, 2013 by shareholders of Aurora owning approximately 57.4% of the outstanding voting shares of common stock.

Other than the aforementioned there were no other subsequent events at the date of filing.

All dollar amounts in this MD&A are in US dollars, unless otherwise specified. For the purposes of preparing this MD&A, we consider the materiality of information. Information is considered material if: (i) such information results in, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a significant change in the market price or value of Aurora Gold Corporation's shares; or (ii) there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in making an investment decision or if it would significantly alter the total mix of information available to investors. Materiality is evaluated by reference to all relevant circumstances, including potential market sensitivity. This document contains numerous forward-looking statements relating to our business. The United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for certain forward-looking statements. Operating, exploration and financial data, and other statements in this document are based on information we believe reasonable, but involve significant uncertainties as to future gold and silver prices, costs, ore grades, estimation of gold and silver reserves, mining and processing conditions, changes that could result from our future acquisition of new mining properties or businesses, the risks and hazards inherent in the mining business (including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, weather or geologically related conditions), regulatory and permitting matters, and risks inherent in the ownership and operation of, or investment in, mining properties or businesses in foreign countries. Actual results and timetables could vary significantly from the estimates presented. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We disclaim any intent or obligation to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Business Strategy

The Company currently has an interest in a strategic land package of six (6) properties none of which contain any reserves. The Company has no revenues, has sustained losses since inception and has been issued an opinion by the auditors expressing substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. 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.

Exploration and Development

Exploration Activities

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.

The strategic objectives of the Company are to concentrate efforts on existing operations where infrastructure already exists, properties presently being developed or in advanced stages of exploration that have potential for additional discoveries and grass-roots exploration opportunities. The Company is currently concentrating on property exploration activities in Brazil.

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

Plan of Operation contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as described below. The actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. During the next 12 months the Company may raise additional funds through equity offerings and/or debt borrowing to meet the general and administrative operating expenses and to conduct work on exploration properties. There is, of course, no assurance that the Company will be able to do so and the Company does not have any agreements or arrangements with respect to any such financing. The exploration properties have not commenced commercial production and the Company has no history of earnings or cash flow from operations. While the Company may attempt to generate additional working capital through the operation, development, sale or possible joint venture development of properties, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations.

Aurora plans to drill test the depth and strike potential of the Toucano gold occurrence, which previously yielded high grade (greater than 100g/t) in channel samples at surface.

The soil sampling program over the Fofoca resource extension area geochemistry grid was completed for a total of 26,000m in combined grid lines length. Line cutting and sampling on the Sao Domingos grid was then initiated for the planned total of 58,000m grid lines length. Soil sampling was completed on both targets for a combined total of 43,160m for the month of May, totaling 529 samples.

Aurora continues to work closely with Haywood Securities Inc and the Company's advisors to complete its application to migrate from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to the Toronto Stock Exchange -Venture (TSX-V).

The planned activity for 2013 year is as follows:

§	Technical team is on site at the Sao Domingo property - The geotechnical team is mobilizing to site to carry out the planned exploration activities for the 2013 exploration season. A detailed budget has been approved by the board that includes diamond drilling on the Toucano gold occurrence to follow up previously reported high grade sampling, along with geochemical sampling of the potential Fofoca resource extensions.
§	Trial mining license application nearing conclusion – a trial mining license has been applied for with the Brazilian Mines department, DNPM, and is expected to be granted during the next few months. The trail mining license will enable the Company to test geochemical and physical attributes of the area around the Toucano gold occurrence, and carry out bulk sampling.
§	Detailed exploration plans approved by the board
§	Initial drilling of the recently discovered Toucan Gold occurrence
§	Trial mining license in application for bulk sampling of alluvial/elluvial areas
§	Geochemical sampling via Auger drilling of several previously defined targets
§	New camp construction plans completed
§	Migration to the Toronto Stock Exchange in advanced stages
§	NI43-101 updated and filed, currently addressing TSX comments – as part of the listing process in the migration to Canada, Aurora engaged Geosure Ltd of Australia to complete the National Instrument 43-101 which was lodged with the TSX and is awaiting comment. Aurora is now set to execute the multiple tasks of Exploration and resource expansion, bulk sampling via the trial mining license and completing the migration to the Toronto Stock exchange.
§	Aurora will also utilize Auger drilling as a follow up anomalous areas of previous stream sediment sampling carried out during the Q3 of 2012 covering an area of 50 km2, which focused on the western flank of the license area. This area included the Toucano gold occurrence and extensions of the Fofoca resource.

The Company intends to concentrate exploration activities on the Brazilian Tapajos properties and examine data relating to the potential acquisition or joint venturing of additional mineral properties in either the exploration or development stage in other South American countries. Additional contractors and consultants may be hired on as and when the requirement occurs.

The exploration work program for the remainder of Fiscal 2013 will focus on the Brazilian properties. The Company intends to follow up results from previous work on the Sao Domingo property, including the previous drilling and mapping over the Fofoca resource area. Follow up evaluation of the geophysical anomaly west of Fofoca is required to test any strike continuity of potential economic mineralisation. The Toucano occurrence was a recent discovery, made during the 4th Quarter of 2011 located in the same vicinity as the Colibri gold occurrence and close to the Fofoca resource area and the Attacadau occurrence. Toucano was discovered as a result of reviewing remote sensing imagery acquired during the last quarter of 2011 and the occurrence of recent artisanal activity.

Aurora conducted detailed mapping over the Toucano occurrence during 2012 and completed channel sampling across the exposed strike of potentially mineralised lithologies. As a result of the significant channel sample results and the other high-grade rock chip results taken from exposures within the Toucano system. Aurora intends to focus exploration delineating the potential area of mineralised material. This work will entail surface mapping, sampling of soils on a grid basis to delineate geochemical anomalies, stream sediment sampling, geophysical surveying and drilling.

Aurora recently concluded a first pass project wide evaluation of tailings and alluvial/elluvial potential. Results showed that follow up test work is recommended and Aurora intends to apply for a trial mining license to carry out bulk sampling of potentially economic material. Concurrently a technical team has been assembled and continues the evaluation of both the alluvial/elluvial potential and the geometry of the hard rock mineralisation in preparation for subsurface test work.

Results of the follow up exploration during 2012 identified further primary and placer gold occurrences, which were subsequently sampled for gold and associated minerals; cartographic archival data was reviewed, and follow on exploration recommendations and budgets established. Included in the recommendations is a geophysical survey utilizing GPR (Georadar) profiling as a method for determining overburden depths and delineation of potential alluvial/elluvial ore zones in cross a section.

The Company has set up a field operations centre at the Săo Domingos property and intend to continue to focus exploration activities on anomalies associated with the Săo Domingos property. The Company selected the Săo Domingos property based on its proximity to the other properties, and the logistics currently in place. Access to the Săo Domingos property is by light aircraft to a well-maintained strip, by road along the government maintained Trans Garimpeiro highway, and by boat along the multitude of waterways in the Amazon Basin.

The company also intends to expand the infrastructure on Sao Domingo to include further staff accommodation, office space, workshops for heavy machinery and an onsite laboratory for assaying. Currently the Company has a budget for exploration and alluvial/elluvial mining, and will seek to acquire a trial mining license in the near future. The exploration phase during 2012, coupled with data from previous campaigns has shown the project has great potential to host significant economic alluvial/elluvial and hard rock mineralisation.

Mining and Exploration Properties

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 10, 1995, under the name "Chefs Acquisition Corp." Initially formed for the purpose of engaging in the food preparation business, the Company redirected business efforts in late 1995 following a change of control, which occurred on October 30, 1995, to the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral resource properties. The Company name changed to “Aurora Gold Corporation” on August 20, 1996 to more fully reflect the resource exploration business activities.

The Company currently has an interest in a strategic land package of six (6) properties none of which contain any reserves. The Company has no revenues, has sustained losses since inception and has been issued an opinion by the auditors expressing substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. The Company may not generate revenues even if any of its exploration programs indicate that a mineral deposit may exist on the properties. Accordingly, the Company may be dependent on future financings in order to maintain operations and continue exploration activities.

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

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 planned production will result in a commercial success, as production is gold price and politically sensitive. Once production has commenced the Company is able to gauge the onward commercial viability of the project. There is no assurance that planned mineral exploration and development activities will result in any further discoveries of commercially viable bodies of mineralization. The long-term profitability of operations will be, in part, directly related to the cost and success of exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors.

The Company has calculated a body of mineralized material to Guide 7 standards calculated in accordance with the Australasian Joint Ore Reserves Committee (the “JORC”) code for reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the “JORC Code”). The current JORC compliant inferred resource is estimated at 130,000 ounces at 2.0 g/t calculated on a 0.5 g/t cut off. This mineralized material is located on the Săo Domingos property discussed below. The rest of the Brazil properties are in the preliminary exploration stage and do not contain any known bodies of ore. The Company will also examine data relating to any potential acquisition opportunities of other exploration properties in Latin America and South America.

During 2012 and 2013 through October 18, 2013 the Company has been evaluating property holdings in order to determine whether to implement exploration programs on existing properties or to acquire interests in new properties.

The Company currently has an interest in six (6) properties located in Tapajos gold province in Para State, Brazil, collectively called the Sao Domingo project. The Company has conducted exploration activities on the properties and have ranked the properties in order of merit and may discontinue such activities and dispose of some of the rights to mineral exploration on the properties if further exploration work is not warranted.

The geology of the Săo Domingos property is predominantly composed of paleo-proterozoic Parauari Granites that play host to a number of gold deposits in the Tapajos Basin. Typical Granites of the younger Maloquinha Intrusive Suite have been noticed in the vicinity of the Fofoca resource area, and basic rocks considered to be part of the mesoproterozoic Cachoeira Seca Intrusive Suite occur around the Esmeril target area. The Săo Domingos property was a previous large alluvial operation, and the property area covers numerous areas of workings. The Săo Domingos property lies in the Tapajos Province of Para State, Brazil It is situated approximately 250 km SE of Itaituba, the regional centre. Small aircraft service Itaituba daily and on occasions flights can be sourced via Manaus. Access from Itaituba to site is by small aircraft or unsealed road of average to poor quality. The road is subject to seasonal closures and ‘wet’ season site access is granted via light aircraft utilizing the local airstrip.

Tenures from the Department of National Production Minerals (DNPM) are disclosed in the aforementioned notes to the financial statements.

Results of Operations

Three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 versus three and nine months ended September 30, 2012

Revenues and Net Loss

The Company has yet to generate any revenues or establish any history of profitable operations. The Company recorded a net loss of $(2,422,666) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 (September 30, 2012: net loss $566,344) and $(910,133) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 (September 30, 2012: net loss $70,112) or $(0.05) (September 30, 2012: $(0.03) and $(0.02) [September 30, 2012: $(0.00)] per share respectively.

Expenses

The increase in quarter on quarter costs reflects the increased activities to actively manage and engage in exploration activities.

Exploration expenditures

Exploration expenses are charged to operations as they are incurred. The Company recorded exploration expenses of $1,324,387 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 (September 30, 2012: $131,724) and $567,086 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 (September 30, 2012: $7,772) the majority relating to Brazilian properties during the current and prior year.

Depreciation expense

Depreciation expenses charged to operations were $27,384 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $13,919 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 (September 30, 2012 nine month and three month periods were both nil).

Capital Resources and Liquidity

September 30, 2013 versus December 31, 2012

During 2012 the capital markets continued to be tight and many companies had restricted access to debt and equity financing. The Company's exploration properties are in the exploration stage and have not commenced commercial production. Consequently the Company has no history of earnings or cash flow from its operations. As a result, the Company is reviewing its 2013 exploration and capital spending requirements in light of the current and anticipated, global economic environment.

The Company currently finances its activities primarily by the private placement of securities. There is no assurance that equity funding will be accessible to the Company at the times and in the amounts required to fund the Company’s activities. There are many conditions beyond the Company’s control, which have a direct bearing on the level of investor interest in the purchase of Company securities. The Company may also attempt to generate additional working capital through the operation, development, sale or possible joint venture development of its properties; however, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. Debt financing has been used to fund the Company’s property acquisitions and exploration activities. The Company does not have “standby” credit facilities, or off-balance sheet arrangements and it does not use hedges or other financial derivatives. The Company has no agreements or understandings with any person as to additional financing.

The general business strategy is to acquire mineral projects either directly or through the acquisition of operating entities. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the USA and applicable to a going concern concept, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments during the normal course of business. As discussed in note 1 to the interim consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses since inception, has not generated any operating revenues to date and during September 30, 2013 operating activities used cash of $2,519,079 (September 30, 2012: $381,481). The Company requires additional funds to meet the Company obligations and maintain the operations. The Company may not have sufficient working capital to (i) pay administrative and general operating expenses through December 31, 2013 and (ii) to conduct preliminary exploration programs. Without cash flow from operations, the Company may need to obtain additional funds (presumably through equity offerings and/or debt borrowing) in order, if warranted, to implement additional exploration programs on the properties. While the Company may attempt to generate additional working capital through the operation, development, sale or possible joint venture development of the properties, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. Failure to obtain such additional financing may result in a reduction of interest in certain properties or an actual foreclosure of interest. The Company has no agreements or understandings with any person as to such additional financing.

The exploration properties have not commenced commercial production and the Company has no history of earnings or cash flow from operations. While the Company may attempt to generate additional working capital through the operation, development, sale or possible joint venture development of property, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations.

Market Risk Disclosures

The Company has not entered into derivative contracts either to hedge existing risks or for speculative purposes during the periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 and the subsequent period to October 18, 2013.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or contractual obligations as at reporting date, that are likely to have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on the financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that have not been disclosed in interim consolidated financial statements.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting policies and methods utilized in the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements determine how the Company reports the financial condition and results of operations and may require management to make estimates or rely on assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. The accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the December 31, 2012 interim consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies relating to mineral property and exploration costs, depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and stock-based compensation are critical accounting policies that are subject to estimates and assumptions regarding future activities.

In 2007, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 2007 Stock Option Plan (amended September 29, 2008) (“the Plan”) to offer an incentive to obtain services of key employees, directors and consultants of the Company. The Plan provides for the reservation for awards of an aggregate of 10% of the total shares of Common Stock outstanding from time to time. No Plan participant may receive stock options exercisable for more than 500,000 shares of Common Stock in any one calendar year. Under the Plan, the exercise price of an incentive stock option must be at least equal to 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant (110% of fair market value in the case of options granted to employees who hold more than 10% of the Company's capital stock on the date of grant). The term of stock options granted under the Plan is not to exceed ten years and the stock options vest immediately upon granting. The total fair value of options granted for during the reporting period are expensed in full as options are vested in full on grant. The fair value of options are determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the expected life of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield (nil assumed) and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option. Due to the fact that the Company has not had significant options granted to develop historical data to provide a reasonable basis to estimate, for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 Management utilizes the simplified method.

Buildings and equipment are carried at cost (including development and preproduction costs, capitalized interest, other financing costs and all direct administrative support costs incurred during the construction period, net of cost recoveries and incidental revenues), less accumulated depletion and depreciation including write-downs. Following the construction period, interest, other financing costs and administrative costs are expensed as incurred.

Buildings and equipment utilized directly in commercial mining activities are depreciated, following the commencement of commercial production, over their expected economic lives using either the unit-of-production method or the straight-line method.

QUARTERLY REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

Depreciation is provided over the following useful lives:

-	Vehicles	5 years
-	Office equipment, furniture and fixtures	2 to 10 years

The Company reviews the carrying values of its buildings and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. Impairment is considered to exist if total estimated future cash flows, or probability-weighted cash flows on an undiscounted basis, are less than the carrying value of the assets.

An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows associated with values beyond proven and probable reserves and resources. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable future cash flows that are largely independent of cash flows from other asset groups. Generally, in estimating future cash flows, all assets are grouped at a particular property for which identifiable cash flows exist. Buildings and equipment utilized directly in commercial mining activities are depreciated, following the commencement of commercial production, over their expected economic lives using either the unit-of-production method or the straight-line method.

Exploration costs are charged to operations as incurred until such time that proven reserves are delineated. From that time forward, the Company will capitalize all costs to the extent that future cash flow from mineral reserves equals or exceeds the costs deferred. The deferred costs will be amortized over the recoverable reserves when a property reaches commercial production. As at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company did not have proven reserves. Exploration activities conducted jointly with others are reflected at the Company's proportionate interest in such activities.

The Company reviews the carrying values of its mineral properties on a regular basis by reference to the project economics including the timing of the exploration and/or development work, the work programs and the exploration results experienced by the Company and others. The review of the carrying value of any producing property will be made by reference to the estimated future operating results and net cash flows. When the carrying value of a property exceeds its estimated net recoverable amount, provision is made for the decline in value.

Estimated costs related to site restoration programs during the commercial development stage of the property are accrued over the life of the project.

US GAAP requires the Company to consider at the end of each accounting period whether or not there has been an impairment of the capitalized property, plant and equipment. This assessment is based on whether factors that may indicate the need for a write-down are present. If management determines there has been impairment then management is required to write-down the recorded value of the property, plant and equipment, which reduces earnings and net assets.

Related Party Transactions

The proposed business raises potential conflicts of interests between certain officers and directors of the Company. Certain directors are directors of other mineral resource companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which the Company may participate, the directors may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms regarding the extent of such participation. In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. In appropriate cases, the Company will establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a conflict. From time to time, several companies may participate in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties thereby allowing for their participation in larger programs, involvement in a greater number of programs and reduction of the financial exposure with respect to any one program. It may also occur that a particular company will assign all or a portion of its interest in a particular program to another of these companies due to the financial position of the company making the assignment.

In determining whether the Company will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by it, the directors will primarily consider the potential benefits to the Company, the degree of risk exposure and the financial position at that time. Other than as indicated, the Company has no other procedures or mechanisms to deal with conflicts of interest. The Company is unaware of the existence of any conflict of interest as described herein.

Other than as disclosed below, during the periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, none of our current directors, officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of the foregoing, nor, to the best of our information and belief, any former directors, senior officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of such former directors, officers or principal shareholders, has or had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or will materially affect the Company.

There have been no transactions or proposed transactions with officers and directors during the last two years to which the Company is a party except as follows:

During nine month period ended September 30, 2013, consulting fees of $333,000 (September 30, 2012: $297,190) were incurred to directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiary. The transactions were recorded at the exchange amount, being the value established and agreed to by the related parties. Coresco also charged for geophysical consulting activities and other exploration management fees for a total of $94,500 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 (September 30, 2012: Nil).

Included in accounts payable (related parties) and advances payable (related party) at September 30, 2013 is $92,441 (December 31, 2012: $158,220) payable to officers and directors of the Company for consulting fees and various expenses incurred on behalf of the Company.

QUARTERLY REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

CURRENT OUTLOOK

General Economic Conditions

Current problems in credit markets and deteriorating global economic conditions have lead to a significant weakening of exchange traded commodity prices, including precious and base metal prices. Volatility in these markets is also high. It is difficult in these conditions to forecast metal prices and demand trends for products to be produced if mining operations were current. Credit market conditions have also increased the cost of obtaining capital and limited the availability of funds. Accordingly, management is reviewing the effects of the current conditions on our business.

It is anticipated that for the foreseeable future, the Company will rely on the equity markets and Option and Warrant holders to meet financing requirements and continue to enter into debt settlements to preserve the Company’s capital reserves. The Company will also consider entering into joint venture arrangements to advance its properties if a suitable opportunity presents.

Capital and Exploration Expenditures

The Company is reviewing capital and exploration spending in light of current market conditions. As a result of our review, the Company may curtail a portion of our capital and exploration expenditures during 2013.

The Company is currently concentrating our exploration activities in Brazil and examining data relating to the potential acquisition or joint venturing of additional mineral properties in either the exploration or development stage.

Plans for Next Twelve Months

The following Plan of Operation contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as described below. The actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. During the next 12 months the Company may raise additional funds through equity offerings and/or debt borrowing to meet the general and administrative operating expenses and to conduct work on exploration properties. There is, of course, no assurance that the Company will be able to do so and the Company does not have any agreements or arrangements with respect to any such financing. The exploration properties have not commenced commercial production and the Company has no history of earnings or cash flow from operations. While the Company may attempt to generate additional working capital through the operation, development, sale or possible joint venture development of properties, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations.

The planned activity for 2013 year is as follows:

§	Technical team is on site at the Sao Domingo property - The geotechnical team is mobilizing to site to carry out the planned exploration activities for the 2013 exploration season. A detailed budget has been approved by the board that includes diamond drilling on the Toucano gold occurrence to follow up previously reported high grade sampling, along with geochemical sampling of the potential Fofoca resource extensions.
§	Trial mining license application nearing conclusion – a trial mining license has been applied for with the Brazilian Mines department, DNPM, and is expected to be granted during the next few months. The trail mining license will enable the Company to test geochemical and physical attributes of the area around the Toucano gold occurrence, and carry out bulk sampling.
§	Detailed exploration plans approved by the board
§	Initial drilling of the recently discovered Toucan Gold occurrence
§	Trial mining license in application for bulk sampling of alluvial/elluvial areas
§	Geochemical sampling via Auger drilling of several previously defined targets
§	New camp construction plans completed
§	Migration to the Toronto Stock Exchange in advanced stages
§	NI43-101 updated and filed, currently addressing TSX comments – as part of the listing process in the migration to Canada, Aurora engaged Geosure Ltd of Australia to complete the National Instrument 43-101 which was lodged with the TSX and is awaiting comment. Aurora is now set to execute the multiple tasks of Exploration and resource expansion, bulk sampling via the trial mining license and completing the migration to the Toronto Stock exchange.
§	Aurora will also utilize Auger drilling as a follow up anomalous areas of previous stream sediment sampling carried out during the Q3 of 2012 covering an area of 50 km2, which focused on the western flank of the license area. This area included the Toucano gold occurrence and extensions of the Fofoca resource.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act. As previously reported under Item 9A in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “Annual Report”), we had numerous deficiencies in our disclosures controls as of December 31, 2012. In the Annual Report we described the remediation efforts we have begun to undertake in order to correct such deficiencies. As of September 30, 2013, the deficiencies described in the Annual Report still existed since the remediation efforts had not yet been fully implemented as of such date.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2013 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting subsequent to the date we carried out our most recent evaluation. As previously reported in Item 9A of the Annual Report, we had numerous material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In the Annual Report we described the remediation efforts we have begun to undertake in order to correct such material weaknesses. As of September 30, 2013, the material weaknesses described in the Annual Report still existed since the remediation efforts had not yet been fully implemented as of such date.
