AuRo Resources Corp. Amends LOI with Minerales Del Puerto

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire - April 20, 2011) - AuRo Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE: ARU) (the "Company") reports that it has amended the letter of intent (the "LOI") with Minerales Del Puerto ("Minerales"), previously announced on March 21, 2011.

The Argentina Mine is contiguous to the Company's flagship "El Tesoro" Project. This property resides within an elevation of less than 1,000 meters, and is therefore unaffected by Law 1382 of 2010, restricting mining above 3,200 meters. It is also proximal to a major highway, the Autopista 62, and necessary infrastructure.

Pursuant to the amended LOI, the Company has agreed to pay Minerales an aggregate amount not to exceed $500,000 over 2 years and issue common shares in the capital of the Company, such shares not to exceed 1.5 million common shares. The final terms of the acquisition will be contained in the definitive agreement to be entered into by the Company and Minerales, subject to final, and ongoing legal and technical due diligence.
