Aurora Gold Corporation (the "Company," "Aurora Gold") (OTCBB: ARXG) (FRANKFURT: A4G) (XETRA: A4G) (BERLIN: A4G), a mineral exploration company focusing on exploration and development in the Tapajos Gold Province, State of Pará, Brazil, is pleased to announce an initial resource estimate for the Molly occurrence on the Company's Sao Domingos property.
Based on the first 10 drill holes results from the Sao Domingos property, Molly occurrence, Aurora Gold Corp. is pleased to announce an inferred resource of:
1,428,000 tonnes @ 3.94 g/t Au for 180,000 ounces of gold (rounded)*.
The Company is awaiting results from a further 7 drill holes, which will extend the strike and significantly increase the resource.
Aurora Gold initiated an independent resource estimation on the Molly Occurrence (Molly), and is currently planning follow-up drilling to bring the project up to feasibility. The resource estimation was completed by Raylar Pty Ltd., an Australian-based geological consultancy. The inferred resource was calculated on the first 10 drill holes targeting high grade gold vein and alteration material. Drill hole line spacing of 40m were used in the initial appraisal. Aurora Gold intends to add a higher level of confidence in the resource estimate by infilling the drill spacing to a distance of 20m during 2007.
Aurora Gold is confident that further drilling along strike will confirm the mapping and indicate further extensions of the known mineralisation. Aurora Gold intends to fast track Molly to feasibility and to bring the project to production in the near future.
The resource still remains open along strike in both directions and to depth, and Aurora Gold will continue to evaluate the potential, and is confident that Molly could evolve and link up with other noted targets further along strike. The results could see a series of satellite mines that could provide high grade mill feed for years to come and provide a cash flow to aggressively explore the Tapajos properties.
Aurora Gold is a mineral exploration company focusing on the exploration and development of its 5 exploration properties totalling 44,469 hectares in the Tapajos Gold Province, State of Pará, Brazil. The project areas were selected due to their proximity to known gold occurrences and from historical records of gold production. The lithologies associated with the projects are similar to those that have proven to be the host of significant gold occurrences elsewhere in the Tapajos. Aurora Gold's stock trades on the following exchanges under the symbol "ARXG" on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board in the United States of America, under the symbols "A4G.FSE" and "A4G.ETR" on the Frankfurt Exchange and "A4G.BER" on the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchanges in Germany.
