VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 4, 2012) - 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.
