AuRo Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ARU) (the "Company") reports that it has
amended the letter of intent (the "LOI") with Minerales Del Puerto
("Minerales"), previously announced on March 21, 2011. The Company will now
solely acquire a 90% interest in the Argentina Mine, within the municipality of
Puerto Berrio, Colombia. The Argentina Mine is contiguous to the Company's
flagship "El Tesoro" Project. This property resides within an elevation of less
than 1,000 meters, and is therefore unaffected by Law 1382 of 2010, restricting
mining above 3,200 meters. It is also proximal to a major highway, the Autopista
62, and necessary infrastructure.


Pursuant to the amended LOI, the Company has agreed to pay Minerales an
aggregate amount not to exceed $500,000 over 2 years and issue common shares in
the capital of the Company, such shares not to exceed 1.5 million common shares.
The final terms of the acquisition will be contained in the definitive agreement
to be entered into by the Company and Minerales, subject to final, and ongoing
legal and technical due diligence.


FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING INFORMATION RELATING TO THE MINE, THE COMPANY IS
RELYING ON INFORMATION PROVIDED TO IT BY MINERALES. SUCH INFORMATION WAS DERIVED
FROM HISTORICAL GEOLOGICAL INFORMATION AND DOES NOT PRESENTLY CONFORM TO THE
STANDARDS AS OUTLINED IN NATIONAL INSTRUMENT 43-101.


The Argentina Mine, which has historically produced small quantities of gold, is
contiguous to the southeast section of the Company's flagship "El Tesoro"
project, and is dually proximal to the Palestina and Nus fault. Recent grab
samples taken and analyzed by SGS Medellin S.A. have returned results including
110.0 g/t Au and 240.0 g/t Au. 


AuRo Resources Corp. is also pleased to announce that it has retained Trident
Financial Corp. ("Trident") as its investor relations and corporate
communications service provider. Trident has been retained for an initial period
of six months at $7,500 (plus HST) per month as remuneration and will be
reimbursed for all approved expenses. The Company will grant Trident stock
options to acquire 250,000 shares in the capital of the Company at an exercise
price of $0.18. The options are granted pursuant to the Company's Stock Option
Plan and will vest in accordance with the provisions therein and the policies of
the TSX Venture Exchange.

investment advisor with 17 years of experience in the venture capital markets
and will be responsible for designing and implementing a comprehensive marketing
