ARU Aurania Resources Ltd

AuRo Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ARU)(FRANKFURT:NXP3) is pleased to provide
further details of its 18,734 hectare Surata Gold Project, the largest
contiguous land package in the California-Vetas-Surata Mining District of
Colombia. This area is one of the most prolific gold camps in Colombia, host to
the multi-million ounce Angostura and La Bodega gold-silver deposits, and
several recent major gold discoveries.


The Surata Gold Project is located approximately 10 kilometers west of CB Gold's
(TSX VENTURE:CBJ) 800 hectare Vetas Gold Project in Santander, Colombia. On
October 24, 2011, CB Gold Inc. reported drill results from its Vetas Project
which includes an intercept of 114.98 metres at 7.57 g/t gold, including 40.89
metres at 17.17 g/t gold at the Real Minera Stockwork Zone.

The Surata Project's 18,734 hectares consists of eleven concessions of which six
have titles and five are in the application stage pending title. The titles are
100% owned by AuRo's Colombian subsidiary, Oro Barracuda, through contracts with
the Colombian government, and are not option agreements. The concessions are all
below 3,200 metres in elevation.


Exploration and studies by Ingeominas (the Colombian national geological
institute) have identified several intrusive bodies that are closely related in
age and composition to intrusives that host significant gold-silver
mineralization in the region, including CB Gold Inc.'s (TSX:CBJ) Vetas Project,
Eco Oro Minerals' (TSX:EOM) (formerly Greystar), Angostura Project, AUX's
LaBodega and La Mascota deposits (formerly owned by Ventana Gold), and Galway's
(TSX VENTURE:GWY) California gold discoveries, located approximately 10
kilometres east of the Surata Project. Gold mineralization in the district is
also associated with a system of northeast trending faults that control gold
deposition. At the Surata Gold Project, two similar northeast trending faults
transect part of the property.


Between, 2008 and 2010, one hundred and fourteen rock samples and nine stream
sediment samples were collected on and around the property. Assay results ranged
from below detection to a high of 3.06 g/t gold. One sample of sulphide bearing
(pyrite) quartz vein was collected on the Surata property and had a unique
geochemical signature with a strong epithermal association including elevated
arsenic, antimony, bismuth and copper. This sample was taken in an area with
silicic, phyllic and sericitic alteration and quartz vein mineralization within
a granodiorite-quartz monzonite intrusive. The alteration zone appears to extend
about 3400 meters in a northeast-southwest direction and to be at least 3200
meters wide.


Further exploration is planned to test the Surata property's potential for
hosting structurally controlled, intrusive related epithermal gold and
gold-silver mineralization, similar to other significant deposits in the
California-Vetas mining districts.


The next phase of exploration at Surata will be comprised of airborne
geophysics, structural mapping, stream sediment sampling, and rock sampling.
Significant targets identified by this program will be tested by diamond
drilling.
