Aurora Gold Corporation Update on Wild Fires Near the Front Range Project at Gold Hill Colorado
ZUG, SWITZERLAND -- (Marketwire) -- 09/16/10 -- Aurora Gold Corporation (the 'Company,' or 'Aurora') (OTCBB: ARXG), a mineral exploration company focusing on exploration and development in the Tapajos Gold Province, State of Pará, Brazil, and the Front Range Gold Project located in Boulder County, Colorado, today is issuing this press release to update its shareholders on effect that the recent fires, burning in Colorado, have had on its operations.
The wild fires which burned for several days near Boulder Colorado apparently have destroyed a great many homes and structures belonging to residents around the Gold Hill area. However, none of the assets of the Company has been damaged as a result of the fires, though the fires did pass through the project area. Quick action by the site personnel and the fire fighting volunteers prevented the fires from reaching the Company's offices, mill and other buildings on site.
Due to the fires, the Company's exploration drilling has been suspended and will resume once the appropriate government authorities have indicated that it is safe to return to the project area.
The Company wishes to send our deepest condolences to those that have lost homes and property in the area.
Aurora's common stock is also traded on the Stuttgart and the Berlin-Bremen Stock Exchanges in Germany under the symbol '(FRANKFURT: A4G) (XETRA: A4G) (BERLIN: A4G).'
