AuRo Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ARU)(FRANKFURT:NXP3) is pleased to provide an
update of its current exploration program at the 18,734 hectare Surata Gold
Project in Colombia. This property is the largest contiguous land package in the
California-Vetas-Surata mining district, located approximately 10 kilometers
west of CB Gold's (TSX VENTURE:CBJ) 800 hectare Vetas Gold Project in Santander,
Colombia.
This current phase of exploration will be comprised of stream sediment and rock
chip sampling, and airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys. Key anomalous
areas will then be followed up by drill target definition, comprised of
structural mapping and geochemical soil surveys. Significant targets identified
by this program will be tested by diamond drilling. As of December 23, 2011,
AuRo had completed a total of 100 stream sediment and rock chip samples at
Surata, and expects to receive initial assays results by the end of January,
2012.
The Surata Property is being explored for structurally controlled, intrusive
related epithermal gold and gold-silver mineralization. Exploration to date at
four of the Surata concessions has 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
VENTURE:CBJ) Vetas Project, Eco Oro Minerals' (formerly Greystar), Angostura
Project, AUX's LaBodega and La Mascota deposits (formerly owned by Ventana
Gold), and Galway's 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 to southwest trending faults. At the
Surata Gold Project, two similar northeast trending faults intersect portions of
the property.
