AuRo Resources Reports New Surface Results at El Tesoro Project

Marketwired
AuRo Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE: ARU) (the "Company") is pleased
to report the results of a soil geochemical survey of the Company's
El Tesoro gold project in the Department of Antioquia, Colombia.
The highlights include:
The completion of a detailed soil geochemical program over an
area of approximately 1.1 km by 4 km that resulted in the
collection and analyses of 979 soil samples. Samples were collected
at a depth of 0.75 to 1.00 m at 50 m intervals on NE oriented
gridlines spaced 100m apart. Gold values in soils ranged from below
detection up to a high of 506 ppb.
A new gold exploration target centered on three gold in soil
anomalies (greater than 20 ppb Au) with values up to 506 ppb Au
located on the southern portion of the El Tesoro property. One of
the gold anomalies is also coincident with weakly anomalous copper
and molybdenum values. In addition to the soil results, 9 rock
samples consisting of grab samples taken from vein material found
in situ or in float returned anomalous gold values up to 5.54 g/t
Au. AuRo Resources has identified this southern area of the
property as the main focus of further exploration.
Based on the geochemical analysis, and given the distinct
geology in Antioquia, AuRo Resources will be immediately following
up on all of these anomalous areas with deeper soil samples, prior
to drill testing these targets.
Mark Lawson, President & CEO of AuRo, stated: "These
gold-in-soil anomalies presents a new area of interest, and
exploration target for AuRo at El Tesoro."
Qualified Person
Robin Black P.Geo., Consulting Geologist to AuRo, is a qualified

reviewed the preparation of the scientific and technical
information in this press release in respect of the geochemistry
results from the El Tesoro Project. Mr. Black P.Geo. is a member in
good standing of the Association of Professional Engineers and
Geoscientists of British Columbia. Mr. Black verified the data
disclosed in this release, including the sampling, analytical and
test data underlying the information contained in this release.
Verification included a review and validation of the applicable
assay databases and reviews of assay certificates.
Sample Collection, Preparation, Analyses and QA-QC
The soil samples were taken by manual post-hole digger from the
top of the C horizon or lower part of the B horizon at a depth of
0.75 to 1.00 m. The samples were not sieved in the field. Soil
samples were prepared by SGS in Medellin and analyzed by SGS in
Lima, Peru. Soil samples were sieved to minus 80 mesh and
pulverized to 95% passing minus 140 mesh. Gold was analyzed by fire
assay on a 30 gram sample with atomic absorption (AAS) finish, and
over-limit samples above 5000 ppb (5.0 g/t) were repeated by fire
assay on a 30 gram sample with gravimetric finish. A suite of 50
elements was analyzed by a hydrochloric plus nitric acid digestion
with inductively coupled plasma atomic emission and inductively
coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-AES and ICP-MS respectively)
finish. Field blank and duplicate samples were routinely inserted
for quality assurance and quality control.
