ARU Aurania Resources Ltd

AuRo Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ARU)(FRANKFURT:NXP3) (the "Company" or "AuRo")
is pleased to provide the following corporate, project updates, and highlight
its 2012 Objectives and Action Plan.


AuRo Resources CEO Mark Lawson said, "I would like to take this opportunity to
provide shareholders with a corporate update, and define our key objectives for
2012 as we continue to complete considerable work on our portfolio of
exploration projects in Colombia. As the Cal-Vetas-Surata area has emerged to be
a World Class Gold Camp, the coming year will represent a pivotal period in the
development of the Company."


2012 Objectives & Action Plan



--  Strategic exploration focus within the Cal-Vetas-Surata Mining District.
--  Commence a Phase I Drill Campaign at Surata and / or Arboledas dependent
    upon the identification of the most robust targets during the current
    phase of exploration. 
--  Selectively pursue JV / Option opportunities to balance the Company's
    exploration risk and expenditures. 
--  Continue to expand the Board & Management Team. 



Exploration Update

Cal-Vetas-Surata Mining District

The current phase of exploration at the Company's 18,734 hectare Surata Project
has been comprised of stream sediment and rock chip sampling. Key anomalous
areas will then be followed up by drill target definition, comprised of
structural mapping, IP geophysical surveys and geochemical soil surveys. Any
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 release initial assays
results in the next few weeks.


The Surata Property is being explored for structurally controlled, low-medium
sulphide, intrusive related epithermal gold and gold-silver mineralization.
Exploration to date at four of the Surata concessions has identified key
targets, including several intrusive bodies that are closely related in age and
composition to intrusives that host significant gold-silver mineralization in
the region. 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.


Upon completion of this phase of exploration at Surata, the same strategy will
be employed at the Company's 14,077 hectare Arboledas Project, northeast of
Surata.


La Colosa West

AuRo posseses one of the largest land positions in the new gold-copper porphyry
district. This includes interests in approximately 30,000 hectares, 3-20 kms
from AngloGold's 16.27 million Oz gold discovery. The Company has completed
initial reconnaissance at its concessions in Cordoba. The next phase of
exploration will follow up on known geochemical anomalies, and will be comprised
of airborne geophysics, structural mapping, stream sediment sampling, and rock
sampling. 


El Tesoro

Given AuRo's strategic focus on exploration within the Cal-Vetas-Surata mining
district, the Company is currently evaluating various proposals, and options
with respect to its El Tesoro Project, and expects to announce a decision
shortly.


El Sinai - High Grade Copper Project

AuRo also has interests in 2 contiguous concessions totalling approximately
2,615 hectares in the Department of Boyaca, Colombia, encompassing a former
producing copper mine. Historical sampling was conducted by Rio Tinto which
averaged 2.8%-4.5% Cu. Artisanal mining at El Sinai has been focused primarily
on chalcopyrite and oxide mineralization. 


Joint Venture Opportunities

Given the size of AuRo's land package in Colombia, the Company will continue to
evaluate, and selectively pursue JV opportunities that are in the best interest
of shareholders in order to balance its exploration risks and expenditures going
forward. This strategy will also enable the Company to concurrently, and more
aggressively purse exploration on many of its key projects.


Key Management Update

On December 5, 2011 the Company announced that it had retained Korn/Ferry
International in order to commence a search for a new Vice President of
Exploration. This individual will either be based in Colombia full time, or will
spend the majority of their time in country managing AuRo's exploration
strategy, Colombian based geological team, and operations across its 70,000
hectare portfolio of concessions. This process is congruent with AuRo's strategy
to continue to expand its management team in 2012, and the Company expects this
process to be complete within the 1st quarter of 2012.
