ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013

PART I

ITEM 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Background

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 10, 1995, under the name "Chefs Acquisition Corp." Initially formed for the purpose of engaging in the food preparation business, the Company redirected business efforts in late 1995 following a change of control, which occurred on October 30, 1995, to the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral resource properties. The Company name changed to “Aurora Gold Corporation” on August 20, 1996 to more fully reflect the resource exploration business activities.Organisation

Aurora Gold Corporation ("the Company" or “Aurora”) was formed on October 10, 1995 under the laws of the State of Delaware and is in the business of location, acquisition, exploration and, if warranted, development of mineral properties. The Company’s focus is on the exploration and development of its exploration properties located in the Tapajos Gold Province, State of Pará, Brazil (refer Notes). The Company has not yet determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that may be economically recoverable and has not generated any operating revenues to date.

The Company is a junior mineral exploration company and conducts principal and technical activities from Coresco AG, Level 3, Gotthardstrasse 20, 6304 Zug, Switzerland. The telephone number is (+41) 41 711 0281. These offices are provided to the Company on a month-to-month basis. The Company believes these offices are adequate for the business requirements during the next 12 months. The Company does not own any real property.

Business Strategy

The general business strategy is to acquire mineral properties either directly or through the acquisition of operating entities. The continued operations and the recoverability of minerals are dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, confirmation of interest in the underlying properties and ability to obtain necessary financing to complete the development and future profitable production. Since 1996 the Company acquired and disposed of a number of properties. The Company has not been successful in any exploration efforts to establish reserves on any of the properties owned by or in which the Company holds an interest.

The Company currently has an interest in a strategic land package of six (6) properties none of which contain any reserves. The Company has no revenues, has sustained losses since inception and has been issued an opinion by the auditors expressing substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will not generate revenues even if any of its exploration programs indicate that a mineral deposit may exist on the properties. Accordingly, the Company will be dependent on future financings in order to maintain operations and continue exploration activities.

~~The~~Mining ~~Company has not been involved in any~~and ~~bankruptcy,~~Exploration ~~receivership or similar proceedings.~~Properties

Principal Products and Markets

The strategic objectives of the Company are to concentrate efforts on existing operations where infrastructure already exists, properties presently being developed or in advanced stages of exploration that have potential for additional discoveries and grass-roots exploration opportunities. The Company is currently concentrating on property exploration activities in Brazil.

The properties are in the exploration stage only and without a known body of mineral reserves. Development of the properties will follow only if satisfactory exploration results are obtained. Mineral exploration and development involves a high degree of risk and few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. There is no assurance that the mineral exploration and development activities will result in any discoveries of commercially viable bodies of mineralization. The long-term profitability of the operations will be, in part, directly related to the cost and success of the exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors. ~~Please refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors”~~

The Company currently has an interest in a strategic land package of six (6) properties none of which contain any reserves.

Significant Developments in Fiscal 2012 and Subsequent Events to March 25, 2013

The Company is a mineral exploration company engaged in the exploration of base, precious metals and industrial minerals worldwide. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 10, 1995, under the name "Chefs Acquisition Corp."

Mineral exploration and development involves a high degree of risk and few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. There is no assurance that planned production will result in a commercial success, as production is gold price and politically sensitive. Once production has commenced the Company is able to gauge the onward commercial viability of the project. There is no assurance that planned mineral exploration and development activities will result in any further discoveries of commercially viable bodies of mineralization. The long-term profitability of operations will be, in part, directly related to the cost and success of exploration programs, which may be affected by a number of factors.

During 2013 and 2014 through March 31, 2014 the Company has been evaluating property holdings in order to determine whether to implement exploration programs on existing properties or to acquire interests in new properties.

The Company currently has an interest in six (6) properties located in Tapajos gold province in Para State, Brazil, collectively called the Sao Domingo project. The Company has conducted exploration activities on the properties and have ranked the properties in order of merit and may discontinue such activities and dispose of some of the rights to mineral exploration on the properties if further exploration work is not warranted.

The geology of the Săo Domingos property is predominantly composed of paleo-proterozoic Parauari Granites that play host to a number of gold deposits in the Tapajos Basin. Typical Granites of the younger Maloquinha Intrusive Suite have been noticed in the vicinity of the Fofoca resource area, and basic rocks considered to be part of the mesoproterozoic Cachoeira Seca Intrusive Suite occur around the Esmeril target area. The Săo Domingos property was a previous large alluvial operation, and the property area covers numerous areas of workings. The Săo Domingos property lies in the Tapajos Province of Para State, Brazil It is situated approximately 250 km SE of Itaituba, the regional centre. Small aircraft service Itaituba daily and on occasions flights can be sourced via Manaus. Access from Itaituba to site is by small aircraft or unsealed road of average to poor quality. The road is subject to seasonal closures and ‘wet’ season site access is granted via light aircraft utilizing the local airstrip.

Tenures from the Department of National Production Minerals (DNPM) are disclosed in the aforementioned notes to the financial statements.

Significant Developments in Fiscal 2013 and Subsequent Events to March 31, 2014

Exploration Activities

The planned activity for 2014 year is as follows:

The following Plan of Operation contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as described below. The actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. During the next 12 months the Company may raise additional funds through equity offerings and/or debt borrowing to meet the general and administrative operating expenses and to conduct work on exploration properties. There is, of course, no assurance that the Company will be able to do so and the Company does not have any agreements or arrangements with respect to any such financing. The exploration properties have not commenced commercial production and the Company has no history of earnings or cash flow from operations. While the Company may attempt to generate additional working capital through the operation, development, sale or possible joint venture development of properties, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations.

The Company intends to concentrate exploration activities on the Brazilian Tapajos properties and examine data relating to the potential acquisition or joint venturing of additional mineral properties in either the exploration or development stage in other South American countries. Additional contractors and consultants may be hired on as and when the requirement occurs.

The exploration work program for the Fiscal 2014 will focus on the Brazilian properties. The Company intends to follow up results from previous work on the Sao Domingo property, including the previous drilling and mapping over the Fofoca resource area. Follow up evaluation of the geophysical anomaly west of Fofoca is required to test any strike continuity of potential economic mineralisation. The Toucano occurrence will be the focus of channel and auger sampling and will be the focus of an elluvial and oxide small scale production scenario. This is follow up detailed sampling was in response to the high grade gold results noted from the oxide insitu material mapped during the 2012 and 2013 exploration phases.

Two grids were cut through the Fofoca west extension area and the area encompassing the Toucano gold occurrence. These areas were systematically sampled and results showed numerous and extensive zones of anomalous gold mineralisation. Assays were submitted for ICP Multi element analysis and results contoured onto plans for review. The results are being analysed for their patterns as related to classic deposit types for the region. The strong variance in the copper anomalism noted between the Toucano grid and the Fofoca grid will be reviewed in relation to the possible timing of mineralizing events at project scale and compared to similar styles within the Tapajos region. The dispersion of the elements has greatly aided the morphological understanding of the lithologies of the project area, and will assist the technical team in targeting subsurface follow up work during the 2014 season. Subsurface exploration will include trenching and follow up drilling at both the Fofoca resource area and the initial drill testing at the Toucano gold occurrence. The technical team are confident that the numerous gold occurrences on the Sao Domingo property will be related to each other and that important path finder elements and structures will lead to more drill targets. The anticipated results should delineate further areas for alluvial/elluvial mining and bulk sampling targets, as well as provide further resource ounces at Toucano to compliment the current and expected increased resources at Fofoca.

Aurora continued the project wide evaluation of tailings and alluvial/elluvial potential. Results showed that follow up test work is recommended and Aurora has an application in place for a trial mining license to carry out bulk sampling of recovery potentially economic material. Concurrently a technical team has been assembled to continue the evaluation of both the alluvial/elluvial potential and the geometry of the hard rock mineralisation in preparation for subsurface test work.

Results of the follow up exploration during 2013 identified further primary and placer gold occurrences, which were subsequently sampled for gold and associated minerals; cartographic archival data was reviewed, and follow on exploration recommendations and budgets established.

The Company has set up a field operations centre at the Sao Domingos property and intend to continue to focus exploration activities on anomalies associated with the Sao Domingos property. During 2013 the Company explored an area of approximately 60 acres of land on the fringe of the Sao Domingo town ship and constructed an additional field base to house and service the increased staff and equipment. The new field camp is located approximately 2 kilometers from the Sao Domingo technical office which is located in town centre of Sao Domingo. The Company selected the Săo Domingos property based on its proximity to the other properties, and the logistics currently in place. Access to the Săo Domingos property is by light aircraft to a well-maintained strip, by road along the government maintained Trans Garimpeiro highway, and by boat along the multitude of waterways in the Amazon Basin.

The company also intends to expand the current infrastructure on Sao Domingo to include further staff accommodation, office space, workshops for heavy machinery and upgrade the current onsite laboratory for assaying. Currently the Company has a budget for exploration and alluvial/elluvial mining, and is ready to utilise the trial mining license once issued. The exploration phase during 2013, coupled with data from previous campaigns has shown the project has great potential to host significant economic alluvial/elluvial and hard rock mineralisation.

Aurora continues to work closely with Haywood Securities Inc., as the Company’s advisors and sponsoring broker, to complete its application for the Toronto Stock Exchange –Venture (TSX-V). Completion of the site visit by Geosure Geological Consultants from Australia, the Company’s independent technical qualified person, marked the final stage of the independent technical report, NI43-101, required for the new listing of Aurora.

São Domingos Project in the Municipality of Itaituba, in the Tapajos gold province of the State of Para, Brazil.

In Brazil, Aurora has six (6) properties with an approximate total of 16,590 ha within the Tapajos Gold Province. The Exploration licence areas are located in the vicinity of the Săo Domingos Township. The Company has conducted various degrees of exploration activities on the properties and ranked the mineralised occurrences in order of merit and may discontinue such activities and dispose of some of the rights to mineral exploration on parts of the property if further exploration work is not warranted. A summary of these properties approved by the Department of National Production Minerals (DNPM) is set out below.

DNPM Processes 850.684/06: 1,985.91 ha

Aurora has good title over the mineral rights object of the DNPM Process No. 850.684/06, which is valid and in force, free and clear of any judicial and extrajudicial encumbrances and taxes. Aurora is the sole registered and beneficial holder of and owns and possesses good title to the referred mineral rights. On September 13, 2006 Aurora submitted to DNPM one Exploration Claim for gold covering an area of 4914.18 ha in the Municipality of Itaituba, State of Pará. According to the information obtained such claim was correctly prepared and the required documents are in place but the area will be reduced to 1,985.91 due to overlapping with third parties’ areas with priority rights. The Exploration Permit has not been granted yet. The above -mentioned area is not related to any payments or royalties to third parties since ~~they~~Aurora ~~were~~ claimed bythem ~~Aurora~~ directly.

DNPM Processes 850.782/05: 6,656.20 ha

Aurora has good title over the mineral rights object of the DNPM Process No. 850.782/05, which is valid and in force, free and clear of any judicial and extrajudicial encumbrances and taxes. On November 8, 2005 it was submitted to DNPM the Exploration Claim for gold in the Municipality of Itaituba, State of Pará. The Exploration Permit was granted on November 28, 2006 for a 3 (three) year period. The transfer to Aurora was approved on March 24, 2009 and on September 28, 2009 it was requested the renewal of the Exploration Permit. This area was reduced from 6,756 ha to 5,651.98 ha due to the overlapping with Garimpeira (alluvial) Mining properties held by Mr. Celio Paranhos. However the DNPM ́s general attorney in Brasilia agreed with Aurora’s legal thesis and nullified all applications filed by Mr. Paranhos (about to 1,900 applications). A new Exploration Permit rectifying the previous one was granted on August 20, 2010 for a 3 (three) year period, for an area of 6,656.20 hectares. An application has been lodged for the extension of the license and Aurora is awaiting the results of this. The Annual Fees per Hectare (TAHs) for the 1st and 2nd years of the extension period have been properly paid. The annual fee for the third year was paid in January 2013. ~~In order to have the Exploration Permit renewed an Exploration Report must be presented until June 20th 2013.~~ No payments or royalties are due regarding the DNPM Process 850.782/05 since it was acquired through a permutation agreement with Altoro Mineração Ltda.

DNPM Processes 850.012/06 and 850.013/06: 1,128.08 ha and 750.55 ha respectively

The exploration claims were submitted to DNPM on January 19, 2006, for gold covering an area of 1,128.08 ha and 750.55 ha respectively, in the Municipality of Itaituba, State of Pará. According to information obtained such claims were correctly prepared and the required documents are in place. The tenements 850.012/06 and 850.013/06 are held by Mr. Antonio Oliveira Ferreira and were submitted to DNPM on January 19, 2006. The tenements are located at Itaituba, State of Pará and are valid and in force, free and clear of any judicial and extrajudicial encumbrances and taxes, but the area was blocked since it is inside of a Garimpeira Reserve. The transfer to Aurora will be submitted after the Exploration Permits are granted. There are no payments or royalties related to the tenements according to the agreement entered into with the previous owner.

Exploration Activities

The Company is a junior mineral exploration company and conducts principal and technical activities from Coresco AG, Level 3, Gotthardstrasse 20, 6304 Zug, Switzerland. The telephone number is +41 41 711 0281. These offices are provided to the Company on a month-to-month basis. The Company believes these offices are adequate for the business requirements during the next 12 months. The Company does not own any real property.

The Company currently has an interest in a strategic land package of six (6) properties none of which contain any reserves.

Plan of Operation contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as described below. The actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. During the next 12 months the Company may raise additional funds through equity offerings and/or debt borrowing to meet the general and administrative operating expenses and to conduct work on exploration properties. There is, of course, no assurance that the Company will be able to do so and the Company does not have any agreements or arrangements with respect to any such financing. The exploration properties have not commenced commercial production and the Company has no history of earnings or cash flow from operations. While the Company may attempt to generate additional working capital through the operation, development, sale or possible joint venture development of properties, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations.

Distribution Methods of Products and Services

The Company is a mineral exploration company and is not in the business of distributing any products or services.

Status of any Publicly Announced New Product or Service

The Company has no plans for new products or services not already offered.

Competitive Business Conditions and Competitive Position in the Industry and Methods of Competition

Vast areas of Brazil have been explored and in some cases staked through mineral exploration programs. Vast areas also remain unexplored. The cost of staking and re-staking new mineral claims and the costs of most phase one exploration programs are relatively modest. Additionally, in many more prospective areas, extensive literature is readily available with respect to previous exploration activities. These facts make it possible for a junior mineral exploration company such as Aurora to be very competitive with other similar companies. The Company is also competitive with senior companies who are doing grass roots exploration. In the event exploration activities uncover prospective mineral showings, the Company anticipates being able to attract the interest of better financed industry partners to assist on a joint venture basis in more extensive exploration. The Company is at a competitive disadvantage compared to established mineral exploration companies when it comes to being able to complete extensive exploration programs on claims which held or that may be held in the future. If the Company is unable to raise capital to pay for extensive claim exploration, the Company will be required to enter into joint ventures with industry partners that will result in the interest in the claims being substantially diluted.

9 | AURORA GOLD CORPORATION

Management of the Company remains committed to building a portfolio of mineral exploration properties principally through their own efforts. The Company is a small entity in a large competitive industry with many other junior exploration companies evaluating and re-evaluating prospective mineral properties in Brazil.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (EXPRESSED IN U.S. DOLLARS)
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and the Names of Principal Suppliers

As a mineral exploration company, the Company does not require sources of raw materials and does not have principal suppliers in the way, which applies to manufacturing companies. The raw materials are, in effect, mineral exploration properties staked or acquired from third parties. The management team seeks to assemble a portfolio of quality mineral exploration properties in Brazil and elsewhere in South America, and continues to review any properties, worldwide, that may fall within the scope of the management and technical teams’ expertise. Initially, the Company operates in the field with the president and various consultants on an as needed basis. This enables the Company to assemble a portfolio of properties through grass roots exploration and staking. The Company will also acquire new properties via option agreements when new properties can be acquired on favorable terms.

Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers

The Company is in the business of mineral exploration. The Company does not sell any product or service and therefore has no dependence on one or a few major customers.

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts, Including Duration

The Company does not own any patents or trademarks. The Company is not party to any labor agreements or contracts. Licenses, franchises, concessions and royalty agreements are not part of the business.

Need for any government approval of principal products or services

As a mineral exploration company, the business does not require extensive government approvals for principal products or services. The Department National Production Minerals (DNPM) of Brazil outlines and governs the work that can be done on mining claims in Brazil.

In the event mining claims acquire in the future prove to host viable ore bodies, the Company would likely sell or lease the deposit to a company whose business is the extraction and treatment of ore. This company would undertake the sale of metals or concentrates and pay us a net smelter royalty as specified in a future lease agreement. All responsibility for government approvals pertaining to mining methods, environmental impacts and reclamation would be the responsibility of this contractor. All costs to obtain the necessary government approvals would be factored into technical and viability studies in advance of a decision being made to proceed with development of an ore body.

The mining industry in Brazil is highly regulated. The president and various consultants have extensive industry experience and are familiar with government regulations respecting the initial acquisition and early exploration of mining claims in Brazil and many other countries in South America, Australia, Africa, Kazakhstan and the former Soviet Union. The Company is required under law to meet government standards relating to the protection of land and waterways, safe work practices and road construction. The Company is unaware of any proposed or probable government regulations that would have a negative impact on the mining industry in Brazil. The Company proposes to adhere strictly to the regulatory framework, which governs mining operations in Brazil.

Effect of existing or probable governmental regulations on the business

Management is unaware of any existing or probable government regulations, which would have a positive or negative impact on the Company.

10 | AURORA GOLD CORPORATION

Costs and effects of compliance with environmental laws (federal, state and local)

At the present time, the costs of compliance with environmental laws are minimal. In the event that claims, which may be, acquired in the future host a viable ore body, the costs and affects of compliance with environmental laws will be incorporated in the exploration plan for these claims. Qualified mining engineers will prepare these exploration plans.

These offices are provided to the Company on a month-to-month basis. The Company believes these offices are adequate for the business requirements during the next 12 months. The Company does not own any real property. Aurora maintains its statutory registered agent’s office at 1859 Whitney Mesa Drive, Henderson, Nevada, 89014.

Mining and Exploration Properties

The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 10, 1995, under the name "Chefs Acquisition Corp." Initially formed for the purpose of engaging in the food preparation business, the Company redirected business efforts in late 1995 following a change of control, which occurred on October 30, 1995, to the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral resource properties. The Company name changed to “Aurora Gold Corporation” on August 20, 1996 to more fully reflect the resource exploration business activities.

The Company currently has an interest in a strategic land package of six (6) properties none of which contain any reserves. The Company has no revenues, has sustained losses since inception and has been issued an opinion by the auditors expressing substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. The Company may not generate revenues even if any of its exploration programs indicate that a mineral deposit may exist on the properties. Accordingly, the Company may be dependent on future financings in order to maintain operations and continue exploration activities.

The Company has not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings.

12 | AURORA GOLD CORPORATION

The Company has calculated a body of mineralized material to Guide 7 standards calculated in accordance with the Australasian Joint Ore Reserves Committee (the “JORC”) code for reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the “JORC Code”). The current JORC compliant inferred resource is estimated at 130,000 ounces at 2.0 g/t calculated on a 0.5 g/t cut off. This mineralized material is located on the Săo Domingos property discussed below. The rest of the Brazil properties are in the preliminary exploration stage and do not contain any known bodies of ore. The Company will also examine data relating to any potential acquisition opportunities of other exploration properties in Latin America and South America.

~~During~~14 ~~2012~~| ~~and~~AURORA ~~2013~~GOLD through March 25, 2013 the Company has been evaluating property holdings in order to determine whether to implement exploration programs on existing properties or to acquire interests in new properties.CORPORATION

Aurora has good title over the mineral rights object of the DNPM Process No. 850.782/05, which is valid and in force, free and clear of any judicial and extrajudicial encumbrances and taxes. On November 8, 2005 it was submitted to DNPM the Exploration Claim for gold in the Municipality of Itaituba, State of Pará. The Exploration Permit was granted on November 28, 2006 for a 3 (three) year period. The transfer to Aurora was approved on March 24, 2009 and on September 28, 2009 it was requested the renewal of the Exploration Permit. This area was reduced from 6,756 ha to 5,651.98 ha due to the overlapping with Garimpeira (alluvial) Mining properties held by Mr. Celio Paranhos. However the DNPM ́s general attorney in Brasilia agreed with Aurora’s legal thesis and nullified all applications filed by Mr. Paranhos (about to 1,900 applications). A new Exploration Permit rectifying the previous one was granted on August 20, 2010 for a 3 (three) year period, for an area of 6,656.20 hectares. An application has been lodged for the extension of the license and Aurora is awaiting the results of this. The renewal will be for a further 3 years and is expected to be granted in the near future. The Annual Fees per Hectare (TAHs) for the 1st and 2nd years of the extension period have been properly paid. The annual fee for the third year was paid in January 2013. ~~In order to have the Exploration Permit renewed an Exploration Report must be presented until June 20th 2013.~~ No payments or royalties are due regarding the DNPM Process 850.782/05 since it was acquired through a permutation agreement with Altoro Mineração Ltda.

Penny Stock Rules

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. The stock is currently a “penny stock.” Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of Securities’ laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form as the Commission shall require by rule or regulation. The broker-dealer also must provide to the customer, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement.

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for the stock if it becomes subject to these penny stock rules.

Rule 144

There were ~~249~~ 51,~~144~~188,~~706~~990 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at March 2531, ~~2013~~2014, of which 54,~~428~~585,~~896~~252 shares are deemed "restricted securities," within the meaning of Rule 144. Absent registration under the Securities Act, the sale of such shares is subject to Rule 144, as promulgated under the Securities Act.

In general, under Rule 144, subject to the satisfaction of certain other conditions, a person deemed to be one of the Company’s affiliates, who has beneficially owned restricted shares of the Common stock for at least one year is permitted to sell in a brokerage transaction, within any three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the total number of outstanding shares of the same class, or, if the common stock is quoted on a stock exchange, the average weekly trading volume during the four calendar weeks preceding the sale, if greater.

Rule 144 also permits a person who presently is not and who has not been an affiliate of the Company for at least three months immediately preceding the sale and who has beneficially owned the shares of common stock for at least nine months to sell such shares without restriction other than the requirement that there be current public information as set forth in Rule 144. To the extent that Rule 144 is otherwise available, this provision is currently applicable to all of the restricted shares. If a non-affiliate has held the shares for more than one year, such person may make unlimited sales pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction.

The possibility that substantial amounts of the common stock may be sold under Rule 144 into the public market may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the common stock and could impair the Company’s ability to raise capital in the future through the sale of equity securities. ~~Please refer to “Item1A. Risk Factors.”~~

Business Strategy

The Company currently has an interest in a strategic land package of six (6) properties none of which contain any proven reserves. The Company has no revenues, has sustained losses since inception and has been issued an opinion by the auditors expressing substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will not generate revenues even if any of its exploration programs indicate that a mineral deposit may exist on the properties. Accordingly, the Company will be dependent on future financings in order to maintain operations and continue exploration activities.

~~The~~Going Company has no revenues, has sustained losses since inception, has been issued an opinion expressing substantial doubt about the ability to continue as a going concern by the auditors and relies upon the sale of securities to fund operations. The Company will not generate revenues even if any of exploration programs indicate that a mineral deposit may exist on the properties. Accordingly, the Company will be dependent on future financings in order to maintain operations and continue exploration activities. Funds raised in fiscal years 2012 and 2011 were used for exploration of properties, and general administration.Concern

The Company has no revenues, and has sustained losses since inception. The Company will not generate revenues even if any of its exploration programs indicate that a mineral deposit may exist on the properties. Accordingly, the Company will be dependent on future financings in order to maintain operations and continue exploration activities.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The general business strategy of the Company is to acquire mineral properties either directly or through the acquisition of operating entities. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses since inception, has not generated any operating revenues to date and during the year ended December 31, 2013, operating activities used cash of $3,414,198 (December 31, 2012: $1,296,342). The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and maintain its operations.

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in this regard are to raise equity financing through private or public equity investment in order to support existing operations and expand its business. There is however no assurance that such additional funding will be available to the Company when required, or on terms acceptable to the Company. In the event that the Company cannot obtain additional funds, on a timely basis, or the operations do not generate sufficient cash flow, the Company may be forced to curtail development or cease activities. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

As a condition to the closing of the transaction, the Company agreed to increase the size of its board of directors to five (5) members and to appoint two board members selected by the Investor. The board of directors appointed each of Messrs. Vladimir Bernshtein and Andrey Ratsko to serve as directors of the Company. Additionally, Mr. Bernshtein has been named as the Company’s Chief Business Development Director. The strategic objectives of the Company are to concentrate efforts on existing operations where infrastructure already exists, properties presently being developed or in advanced stages of exploration that have potential for additional discoveries and grass-roots exploration opportunities. The Company is currently concentrating on exploration activities in Brazil. The board terminated several agreements for mineral property rights during Fiscal 2012 and 2011 with a view to consolidate and concentrate on the strategic land package of assets located in the Tapajos Region of Brazil.CORPORATION

~~Plan~~The ofplanned activity ~~Operation~~for 2014 year is as follows:

The exploration work program for the ~~remainder of~~ Fiscal ~~2013~~2014 will focus on the Brazilian properties. The Company intends to follow up results from previous work on the Sao Domingo property, including the previous drilling and mapping over the Fofoca resource area. Follow up evaluation of the geophysical anomaly west of Fofoca is required to test any strike continuity of potential economic mineralisation.

Concurrently a technical team has been assembled to continue the evaluation of both the alluvial/elluvial potential and the geometry of the hard rock mineralisation in preparation for subsurface test work.

Results of the follow up exploration during ~~2012~~ 2013 identified further primary and placer gold occurrences, which were subsequently sampled for gold and associated minerals; cartographic archival data was reviewed, and follow on exploration recommendations and budgets established. Included in the recommendations is a geophysical survey utilizing GPR (Georadar) profiling as a method for determining overburden depths and delineation of potential alluvial/elluvial ore zones in cross a section.

The Company has set up a field operations centre at the ~~Săo~~Sao Domingos property and intend to continue to focus exploration activities on anomalies associated with the ~~Săo~~ Sao Domingos property. During 2013 the Company acquired approximately 60 acres of land on the fringe of the Sao Domingo town ship and constructed an additional field base to house and service the increased staff and equipment. The new field camp is located approximately 2 kilometers from the Sao Domingo technical office which is located in town centre of Sao Domingo. The Company selected the Săo Domingos property based on its proximity to the other properties, and the logistics currently in place. Access to the Săo Domingos property is by light aircraft to a well-maintained strip, by road along the government maintained Trans Garimpeiro highway, and by boat along the multitude of waterways in the Amazon Basin.

~~The~~22 ~~company~~| ~~also~~AURORA ~~intends~~GOLD to expand the infrastructure on Sao Domingo to include further staff accommodation, office space, workshops for heavy machinery and an onsite laboratory for assaying. Currently the Company has a budget for exploration and alluvial/elluvial mining, and will seek to acquire a trial mining license in the near future. The exploration phase during 2012, coupled with data from previous campaigns has shown the project has great potential to host significant economic alluvial/elluvial and hard rock mineralisation.CORPORATION

~~The Company is unable to reasonably estimate~~Depreciation the amount of minerals the properties will produce, if any, and thus there is uncertainty as to whether the purchase price will be collected. Further, the collection of any purchase price is also contingent on the outcome of the court case described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements filed with this report. Given these factors, collection of the purchase price is not considered reasonably possible at the time of this report given the current uncertain status of exploration work on the Boulder, Colorado properties and the uncertainties of the related legal action and thus no purchase price has been recorded as of December 31, 2012. Once collection of the purchase price becomes assured and the aforementioned uncertainties resolved, the purchase price will be recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).expense

Capital Resources and Liquidity

December 31, ~~2012~~2013 versus December 31, ~~2011~~ 2012

During ~~2012~~ 2013 the capital markets continued to be tight and many companies had restricted access to debt and equity financing. The Company's exploration properties are in the exploration stage and have not commenced commercial production. Consequently the Company has no history of earnings or cash flow from its operations. As a result, the Company is reviewing its ~~2013~~2014 exploration and capital spending requirements in light of the current and anticipated, global economic environment.

The Company currently finances its activities primarily by the private placement of securities. There is no assurance that equity funding will be accessible to the Company at the times and in the amounts required to fund the Company’s activities. There are many conditions beyond the Company’s control, which have a direct bearing on the level of investor interest in the purchase of Company securities. The Company may also attempt to generate additional working capital through the operation, development, sale or possible joint venture development of its properties; however, there is no assurance that any such activity will generate funds that will be available for operations. Debt financing has been used to fund the Company’s property acquisitions and exploration activities. The Company does not have “standby” credit facilities, or off-balance sheet arrangements and it does not use hedges or other financial derivatives. The Company has no agreements or understandings with any person as to additional financing.

At December 31, ~~2012~~2013, the Company had cash of $355,~~963,836~~161 (~~2011~~2012: ~~$237~~3,~~426~~963,836) and working capital of negative $3103,~~754,403~~387 (2012: positive working capital of ~~deficiency 2011:~~ $~~(300~~3,~~218~~754,403)). Total liabilities as of December 31, ~~2012~~2013 were $~~277~~228,~~343~~067 (~~2011~~2012: $~~537~~277,~~644~~343).

The Company intends to continue finance activities by raising capital through the equity markets and special purpose placements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Risks

The carrying value of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and advances payable (including those amounts owing to related parties) approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.

The Company operates outside of the United States of America (primarily in Brazil) and is exposed to foreign currency risk due to the fluctuation between the currency in which the Company operates in and the U.S. dollar in which the operations are reported.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting policies and methods utilized in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements determine how the Company reports the financial condition and results of operations and may require management to make estimates or rely on assumptions about matters that are inherently uncertain. The accounting policies are described in ~~note~~Note 2 to the December 31, ~~2012~~2013 consolidated financial statements. The accounting policies relating to mineral property and exploration costs, depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment and stock-based compensation are critical accounting policies that are subject to estimates and assumptions regarding future activities.

In 2007, the Company's Board of Directors approved the 2007 Stock Option Plan (amended September 29, 2008) (“the Plan”) to offer an incentive to obtain services of key employees, directors and consultants of the Company. The Plan provides for the reservation for awards of an aggregate of 10% of the total shares of Common Stock outstanding from time to time. No Plan participant may receive stock options exercisable for more than 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock in any one calendar year. Under the Plan, the exercise price of an incentive stock option must be at least equal to 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant (110% of fair market value in the case of options granted to employees who hold more than 10% of the Company's capital stock on the date of grant). The term of stock options granted under the Plan is not to exceed ten years and the stock options vest immediately upon granting. The total fair value of options granted for during the reporting period are expensed in full as options are vested in full on grant. The fair value of options are determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the expected life of the option, the share price at grant date and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield (nil assumed) and the risk free interest rate for the term of the option. Due to the fact that the Company has not had significant options granted to develop historical data to provide a reasonable basis to estimate, ~~for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011~~ Management utilizes the simplified method.

26 | AURORA GOLD CORPORATION

Buildings and equipment are carried at cost (including development and preproduction costs, capitalized interest, other financing costs and all direct administrative support costs incurred during the construction period, net of cost recoveries and incidental revenues), less accumulated depletion and depreciation including write-downs. Following the construction period, interest, other financing costs and administrative costs are expensed as incurred.

On the commencement of commercial production, depletion of each mining property is provided on the unit-of-production basis, using estimated proven and probable reserves as the depletion basis.

Buildings and equipment utilized directly in commercial mining activities are depreciated, following the commencement of commercial production, over their expected economic lives using either the unit-of-production method or the straight-line method.

The Company reviews the carrying values of its buildings and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. Impairment is considered to exist if total estimated future cash flows, or probability-weighted cash flows on an undiscounted basis, are less than the carrying value of the assets.

An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows associated with values beyond proven and probable reserves and resources. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable future cash flows that are largely independent of cash flows from other asset groups. Generally, in estimating future cash flows, all assets are grouped at a particular property for which identifiable cash flows exist. Buildings and equipment utilized directly in commercial mining activities are depreciated, following the commencement of commercial production, over their expected economic lives using either the unit-of-production method or the straight-line method.

The Company accounts for its mineral properties on a cost basis whereby all direct costs, net of pre-production revenue, relative to the acquisition of the properties are capitalized. All sales and option proceeds received are first credited against the costs of the related property, with any excess credited to earnings. Once commercial production has commenced, the net costs of the applicable property will be charged to operations using the unit-of-production method based on estimated proven and probable recoverable reserves. The net costs related to abandoned properties are charged to operations.

Exploration costs are charged to operations as incurred until such time that proven reserves are delineated. From that time forward, the Company will capitalize all costs to the extent that future cash flow from mineral reserves equals or exceeds the costs deferred. The deferred costs will be amortized over the recoverable reserves when a property reaches commercial production. As at December 31, 2013 ~~2012~~ and ~~2011~~2012, the Company did not have proven reserves. Exploration activities conducted jointly with others are reflected at the Company's proportionate interest in such activities.

The Company reviews the carrying values of its mineral properties on a regular basis by reference to the project economics including the timing of the exploration and/or development work, the work programs and the exploration results experienced by the Company and others. The review of the carrying value of any producing property will be made by reference to the estimated future operating results and net cash flows. When the carrying value of a property exceeds its estimated net recoverable amount, provision is made for the decline in value.

27 | AURORA GOLD CORPORATION

The recoverability of the amounts recorded for mineral properties is dependent on the confirmation of economically recoverable reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to successfully complete their development and the attainment of future profitable operations or proceeds from disposition.

Estimated costs related to site restoration programs during the commercial development stage of the property are accrued over the life of the project.

US GAAP requires the Company to consider at the end of each accounting period whether or not there has been an impairment of the capitalized property, plant and equipment. This assessment is based on whether factors that may indicate the need for a write-down are present. If management determines ~~determine~~ there has been an impairment then management is required to write-down the recorded value of the property, plant and equipment, ~~which~~ which reduces earnings and net assets.

Related Party Transactions

The proposed business raises potential conflicts of interests between certain officers and directors of the Company. Certain directors are directors of other mineral resource companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which the Company may participate, the directors may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms regarding the extent of such participation. In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. In appropriate cases, the Company will establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a conflict. From time to time, several companies may participate in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties thereby allowing for their participation in larger programs, involvement in a greater number of programs and reduction of the financial exposure with respect to any one program. It may also occur that a particular company will assign all or a portion of its interest in a particular program to another of these companies due to the financial position of the company making the assignment.

In determining whether the Company will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by it, the directors will primarily consider the potential benefits to the Company, the degree of risk exposure and the financial position at that time. Other than as indicated, the Company has no other procedures or mechanisms to deal with conflicts of interest. The Company is unaware of the existence of any conflict of interest as described herein.

Other than as disclosed below, during the ~~year~~periods ended December 31, ~~2012~~2013 and 2012, none of our current directors, officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of the foregoing, nor, to the best of our information and belief, any former directors, senior officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of such former directors, officers or principal shareholders, has or had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or will materially affect the Company.

There have been no transactions or proposed transactions with officers and directors during the last two years to which the Company is a party except as follows:

During year ended December 31, ~~2012~~2013, consulting fees of $~~301~~445,~~714~~337 (~~2011~~December 31, 2012: $~~295~~301,~~701~~714) were incurred to directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiary. The transactions were recorded at the exchange amount, being the value established and agreed to by the related parties. Coresco also charged for geophysical consulting activities and other exploration management fees for a total of $126,000 during the year ended December 31, 2013 (December 31, 2012: Coresco charged for S1 fund raising and geophysical consulting activities for a total of $79,171 ~~during the 2012 year~~).

CURRENT OUTLOOK

General Economic Conditions

Current problems in credit markets and deteriorating global economic conditions have lead to a significant weakening of exchange traded commodity prices, including precious and base metal prices. Volatility in these markets is also high. It is difficult in these conditions to forecast metal prices and demand trends for products to be produced if mining operations were current. Credit market conditions have also increased the cost of obtaining capital and limited the availability of funds. Accordingly, management is reviewing the effects of the current conditions on our business.

It is anticipated that for the foreseeable future, the Company will rely on the equity markets and Option and Warrant holders to meet financing requirements and continue to enter into debt settlements to preserve the Company’s capital reserves. The Company will also consider entering into joint venture arrangements to advance its properties if a suitable opportunity presents.

Capital and Exploration Expenditures

The Company is reviewing capital and exploration spending in light of current market conditions. As a result of our review, the Company may curtail a portion of our capital and exploration expenditures during ~~2013~~2014.

The Company is currently concentrating our exploration activities in Brazil and examining data relating to the potential acquisition or joint venturing of additional mineral properties in either the exploration or development stage.

This “Controls and Procedures” section of this Annual Report on Form 10-K includes information concerning the controls and controls evaluation referenced in the certifications. This section of the Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the matters presented.

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer) and Chief Financial Officer (Principal Financial Officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as the Company’s are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

The Company evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report, being, December 31, ~~2012~~2013. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC. Disclosure controls are also designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), have concluded that the internal control over disclosure controls were not effective as of December 31, ~~2012~~2013.

Management’s annual report on internal control over financial reporting

The Company’s Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, ~~2012~~ 2013.

~~Based~~35 on| ~~its~~AURORA ~~evaluation~~GOLD under the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2012, due to the existence of material weaknesses, as described in greater detail below. A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.CORPORATION

Based on its evaluation under the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2013, due to the existence of material weaknesses, as described in greater detail below. A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at a reasonable assurance level. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additional controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

31 | AURORA GOLD CORPORATION

Material Weaknesses Identified

In connection with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the ~~period~~year ended December 31, ~~2012~~2013, certain deficiencies in internal control became evident to management that represent material weaknesses, including,:

(i) Lack of a sufficient number of independent directors for our board and audit committee. The Company currently has ~~one~~two independent ~~director~~directors on the board, which is comprised of 5 directors, and on the audit committee, which is comprised of 5 directors. As a publicly-traded company, the Company should strive to have a majority of independent board of directors.

(ii) Insufficient segregation of duties in our finance and accounting functions due to limited personnel. During the ~~period~~year ended December 31, ~~2012~~2013, the Company had two people on staff at our executive office and two persons at the Brazil office that performed nearly all aspects of financial reporting process, including, but not limited to, access to the underlying accounting records and systems, the ability to post and record journal entries and responsibility for the preparation of the financial statements. This creates certain incompatible duties and a lack of review over the financial reporting process that would likely result in a failure to detect errors in spreadsheets, calculations, or assumptions used to compile the financial statements and related disclosures as filed with the SEC. These control deficiencies could result in a material misstatement to interim or annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

(iii)

Insufficient corporate governance policies. Although the Company has a code of ethics, which provides broad guidelines for corporate governance, our corporate governance activities and processes are not always formally documented. Specifically, decisions made by the board to be carried out by management should be documented and communicated on a timely basis to reduce the likelihood of any misunderstandings regarding key decisions affecting our operations and management.

(iv)

Accounting for Non-Standard Transactions. Occasionally the Company enters into transactions that are more complex from an accounting perspective. These transactions by their nature require greater technical accounting expertise and greater consideration of the related facts and circumstances to ensure that the accounting and reporting are accurate and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Plan for Remediation of Material Weaknesses

The Company intends to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make the necessary improvements to remediate these deficiencies. The Company intends to consider the results of the remediation efforts and related testing as part of our year-end ~~2013~~2014 assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The Company has implemented certain remediation measures and is in the process of designing and implementing additional remediation measures for the material weaknesses described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Such remediation activities include the following:

The Company continues to recruit one or more additional independent board members to join the board of directors.

In addition to the foregoing remediation efforts, the Company will continue to update the documentation of internal control processes, including formal risk assessment of financial reporting processes.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 31, ~~2012~~2013, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting.

The Board and Board Meetings

The Board of directors consists of five ~~member~~ ~~(5)~~members [~~2011~~2012: ~~three~~five members]. Directors serve for a term of one (1) year and stand for election at the annual meeting of stockholders. Pursuant to the Bylaws, any vacancy occurring in the Board of directors, including a vacancy created by an increase in the number of directors, may be filled by the stockholders or by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors through less than a quorum of the Board of directors. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office only until the next election of directors by the stockholders. If there are no remaining directors, the vacancy shall be filled by the stockholders.

At a meeting of stockholders, any director or the entire Board of directors may be removed, with or without cause, provided the notice of the meeting states that one of the purposes of the meeting is the removal of the director. A director may be removed only if the number of votes cast to remove him exceeds the number of votes cast against removal.

The Board of Directors and management are committed to responsible corporate governance to ensure that the Company is managed for the long-term benefit of its shareholders. To that end, the Board of Directors and management periodically review and update, as appropriate, the corporate governance policies and practices. In so doing, the Board and management review published guidelines and recommendations of institutional shareholder organizations and current best practices of similarly situated public companies. The Board of Directors and management also regularly evaluate and, when appropriate, revise corporate governance policies and practices in accordance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and listing standards issued by the SEC.

During the year ended December 31, ~~2012~~2013, the Board held a total of ~~eight~~two (82) meetings. All members of the Board attended all meetings of the Board where a present entitlement existed.

Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance

The Company does not currently maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage. The Company is currently reviewing insurance policies and anticipates obtaining coverage for board of directors and officers.

Board Committees and Corporate Governance

Audit Committee

The Board formed an independent standing Audit Committee on October 9, 2012. Whilst a Charter is yet to be established, the Audit Committee monitors financial ~~reporting~~ reporting processes and internal control systems and appoint the independent registered public auditing firm. The members of the ~~committee~~ committee are ~~Ross~~Gorden ~~Doyle~~Glenn, Andrey Rastko and Agustin Gomez de Segura.

Compensation Committee

The Board does not currently have an independent standing Compensation Committee. The full Board establishes overall compensation policies for the Company and Directors and reviews recommendations submitted by management.

Nominating Committee

The Board does not currently have an independent standing Nominating Committee. All nominating functions are handled directly by the full Board of Directors, which the Board believes is the most effective and efficient approach, based on the size of the Board and the current and anticipated operational requirements. As outlined above in selecting a qualified nominee, the Board considers such factors as it deems appropriate which may include: the current composition of the Board; the range of talents of the nominee that would best complement those already represented on the Board; the extent to which the nominee would diversify the Board; the nominee's standards of integrity, commitment and independence of thought and judgment; and the need for specialized expertise.

Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all officers, directors and employees, including its Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer, which complies with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and applicable Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) listing standards. Accordingly, the Code of Ethics is designed to deter wrongdoing, and to promote, among other things, honest and ethical conduct, full, timely, accurate and clear public disclosures, compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics, and accountability.

Corporate Governance

The Company has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines applicable to the Board of Directors.

Board Leadership Structure

The Company currently has four (4) executive officers and five (5) directors. The Board of Directors has reviewed the Company’s current Board leadership structure, which consists of a Chief Executive Officer and a Chief Financial Officer, in light of the composition of the Board, the Company’s size, the nature of the Company’s business, the regulatory framework under which the Company operates, the Company’s stockholder base, the Company’s peer group and other relevant factors, and the Company has determined that this structure is currently the most appropriate Board leadership structure for the company. Nevertheless, the Board intends to carefully evaluate from time to time the requirements of the business to ensure the structure best supports the stockholders.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

Risk is inherent in every business and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine success. The Company faces a number of risks, including strategic risks, enterprise risks, financial risks, and regulatory risks. While management is responsible for day to day management of various risks faced, the Board of Directors, as a whole, is responsible for evaluating the exposure to risk and to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. The Board reviews and discusses policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The Board also has oversight responsibility with respect to the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting process and systems of internal control regarding finance and accounting, as well as the financial statements.

Director Independence

The securities are not listed on a U.S. securities exchange and, therefore, the Company is not subject to the corporate governance requirements of any such exchange, including those related to the independence of directors. However, at this time, after considering all of the relevant facts and circumstances, our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Agustin Gomez de Segura isand Gorden Glenn are independent from management and ~~does~~ qualify as an “independent director” under the standards of independence under the applicable FINRA listing standards. Upon listing on any national securities exchange or any inter-dealer quotation system, it will elect such independent directors as is necessary under the rules of any such securities exchange.

Certain Relationships

There are no family relationships among or between any of the officers and directors.

The proposed business raises potential conflicts of interests between certain officers and directors and the Company. Certain directors are directors of other mineral resource companies and to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which the Company may participate, the directors may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms regarding the extent of such participation. In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. In appropriate cases, the Company will establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a conflict. From time to time, several companies may participate in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties thereby allowing for their participation in larger programs, involvement in a greater number of programs and reduction of the financial exposure with respect to any one program. It may also occur that a particular company will assign all or a portion of its interest in a particular program to another of these companies due to the financial position of the company making the assignment.

In determining whether the Company will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired by it, the directors will primarily consider the potential benefits to us, the degree of risk to which the Company may be exposed and its financial position at that time. Other than as indicated, the Company has no other procedures or mechanisms to deal with conflicts of interest. The Company is not aware of the existence of any conflict of interest as described herein.

Compensation of Directors

The Board of Directors determines the non-employee directors’ compensation for serving on the Board and its committees. In establishing director compensation, the Board is guided by the following goals:

Compensation should consist of a combination of cash and equity awards that are designed to fairly pay the directors for work required for a company of our size and scope;

Compensation should align the directors’ interests with the long-term interests of stockholders; and

Compensation should assist with attracting and retaining qualified directors.

During ~~2012~~ 2013 Agustin Gomez de Segura was paid a $2736,000 director’s fee (~~2011~~2012: $4027,000). Directors are entitled to participate in, and have been issued options under, the 2007 Stock Plan (as amended 29 September 2008). The Company also reimburses directors for any actual expenses incurred to attend meetings of the Board or travel upon request of the Company.

The following table reports all compensation the Company paid to non-employee directors, in their capacity as members of the Board, during the fiscal years ~~2011~~2013 and 2012 inclusive:

ITEM 11 – EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The responsibility for establishing, administering and interpreting the policies governing the compensation and benefits for the executive officers lies with the Board of Directors. In this regard the Board has not retained the services of any compensation consultants.

The goals of the executive compensation program are to attract, motivate and retain individuals with the skills and qualities necessary to support and develop the business within the framework of size and resource availability. During fiscal year ~~2012~~2013, the Company designed executive compensation program to achieve the following objectives:

Options/SAR Grants Table

In 2007, the Board of Directors approved the 2007 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) which was subsequently approved by the shareholders in July 2007 and amended in September 2008, to offer an incentive to obtain services of key employees, directors and consultants of the Company. The Plan provides for the reservation for awards of an aggregate of 10% of the total shares of Common Stock outstanding from time to time. No Plan participant may receive stock options exercisable for more than 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock in any one calendar year. Under the Plan, the exercise price of an incentive stock option must be at least equal to 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant (110% of fair market value in the case of options granted to employees who hold more than 10% of our capital stock on the date of grant). The term of stock options granted under the Plan is not to exceed ten years and the stock options vest immediately upon granting.

The Company awarded stock purchase options to the directors and officers of the Company and others during the fiscal years as set out below.

ITEM 13 – CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

The proposed business raises potential conflicts of interests between certain of officers and directors of the Company. Certain directors are directors of other mineral resource companies and, to the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which the Company may participate, the directors may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms regarding the extent of such participation. In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. In appropriate cases, the Company will establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a conflict. From time to time, several companies may participate in the acquisition, exploration and development of natural resource properties thereby allowing for their participation in larger programs, involvement in a greater number of programs and reduction of the financial exposure with respect to any one program. It may also occur that a particular company will assign all or a portion of its interest in a particular program to another of these companies due to the financial position of the company making the assignment.

In determining whether the Company will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired, the directors will primarily consider the potential benefits to the Company, the degree of risk exposure and the financial position at that time. Other than as indicated, the Company has no other procedures or mechanisms to deal with conflicts of interest. The Company is not aware of the existence of any conflict of interest as described herein.

Transactions with Related Persons

Other than as disclosed below, during the fiscal years ended December 31, ~~2012~~2013 and ~~2011~~2012, none of the current directors, officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of the foregoing, nor, to the best of our information and belief, any of our former directors, senior officers or principal shareholders, nor any family member of such former directors, officers or principal shareholders, has or had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or in any proposed transaction which has materially affected or will materially affect the Company.

There have been no transactions or proposed transactions with officers and directors during the last two years to which the Company is a party except as follows:

During the year ended December 31, ~~2012~~2013, consulting fees of $~~301~~445,~~714~~337 (~~2011~~2012: $~~295~~301,~~701~~714) were paid to directors and officers of the Company and its subsidiary. The transactions were recorded at the exchange amount, being the value established and agreed to by the related parties. Coresco also charged for S1 fund raising and geophysical consulting activities for a total of $79,171 during the 2012 year.

Audit-Related Fees

The aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services by Peterson Sullivan LLP that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of consolidated financial statements and are not reported under audit fees for fiscal ~~2012~~2013 were $0 (~~2011~~2012: $0).

Tax Fees

The aggregate fees billed for professional services by Peterson Sullivan LLP for tax compliance for fiscal 2012 were $3,000 (~~2011~~2012: $23,~~500~~000).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Aurora Gold Corporation

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Aurora Gold Corporation (an exploration stage company) and Subsidiary (“the Company”) as of December 31, ~~2012~~2013 and ~~2011~~2012, and the related consolidated statements of ~~operations~~comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity (deficiency) ~~and comprehensive income (loss)~~, and cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from October 10, 1995 (date of inception) to December 31, ~~2012~~2013. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance ~~with~~ with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those statements require that we plan and ~~perform~~ perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. The ~~Company~~ Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over ~~financial~~ financial reporting. Our ~~audit~~audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit ~~procedures~~ procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Aurora Gold Corporation (an exploration stage company) and Subsidiary as of December 31, ~~2012~~2013 and ~~2011~~2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, and for the period from October 10, 1995 (date of inception) to December 31, ~~2012~~2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred operating losses since inception, has not been able to generate any operating revenues to date, and used cash during ~~2012~~2013 operations of $13,~~296~~414,~~342~~198. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.The ~~Organization,~~accompanying notes ~~Nature~~are ofan ~~Business,~~integral ~~Going~~part ~~Concern,~~of ~~and~~these ~~Management’s~~consolidated ~~Plans~~financial statements.

~~Aurora~~61 ~~Gold~~| ~~Corporation~~AURORA ~~("the Company")~~GOLD was formed on October 10, 1995 under the laws of the State of Delaware and is in the business of location, acquisition, exploration and, if warranted, development of mineral properties. The Company’s focus is on the exploration and development of its exploration properties located in the Tapajos Gold Province, State of Pará, Brazil (see Note 3). The Company has not yet determined whether its properties contain mineral reserves that may be economically recoverable and has not generated any operating revenues to date.CORPORATION

~~These~~AURORA ~~consolidated~~GOLD ~~financial statements~~CORPORATIONFINANCIAL ~~have~~STATEMENTS ~~been~~(EXPRESSED ~~prepared~~IN in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of businessU. ~~The general business strategy of the Company is to acquire mineral properties either directly or through the acquisition of operating entities~~S. ~~The~~DOLLARS)ANNUAL ~~Company~~REPORT ~~has~~FOR ~~incurred~~THE ~~recurring~~YEAR ~~operating~~ENDED ~~losses~~DECEMBER ~~since inception, has not generated any operating revenues to date and during the year ended December~~ 31, ~~2012, operating activities used cash of $1,296,342 (December 31, 2011: $1,062,075). The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and maintain its operations.~~2013

These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in this regard are to raise equity financing through private or public equity investment in order to support existing operations and expand its business. The Company currently has a Prospectus out on offer and these details are included in further detail in these notes. There is however no assurance that such additional funding will be available to the Company when required, or on terms acceptable to the Company. In the event that the Company cannot obtain additional funds, on a timely basis, or the operations do not generate sufficient cash flow, the Company may be forced to curtail development or cease activities. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.

AURORA GOLD CORPORATION
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (EXPRESSED IN U.S. DOLLARS)
ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)

Basis of Preparation

The Company follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The FASB sets accounting principles generally accepted (GAAP) in the United States that the Company follows to ensure they consistently report their financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) or also referred to as Codification.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Aurora Gold Mineração Ltda ("Aurora Gold Mineração") and AGC Resources LLC (“AGC”) (through to date of disposition of AGC, June 14, 2011). Collectively, they are referred to herein as "the Company". Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

(b)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

(c)

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents comprise certain highly liquid instruments with a maturity date of three months or less when purchased. The Company has cash and cash equivalents of $355,~~963,836~~161 as at December 31, ~~2012~~2013 ($~~237~~3,~~426~~963,836 as at December 31, ~~2011~~2012). Amounts paid for income taxes during the years ended December 31, ~~2012~~2013 and ~~2011~~2012 were nil; and for interest paid nil respectively.

AURORA GOLD CORPORATIONFINANCIAL STATEMENTS (EXPRESSED IN U.S. DOLLARS)ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ~~2012~~2013

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(d) Vehicles, Equipment and ~~Equipment~~Land Possession Rights

Vehicles and equipment are carried at cost (including development and preproduction costs, capitalized interest, other financing costs and all direct administrative support costs incurred during the construction period, net of cost recoveries and incidental revenues), less accumulated depletion and depreciation including write-downs. Following the construction period, interest, other financing costs and administrative costs are expensed as incurred. ~~On the commencement of commercial production, depletion of each mining property is provided on the unit-of-production basis, using estimated proven and probable reserves as the depletion basis.~~ Buildings and equipment utilized directly in commercial mining activities are depreciated, following the commencement of commercial production, over their expected economic lives using either the unit-of-production method or the straight-line method. Depreciation ~~for non-mining equipment~~ is provided over the following useful lives:

-	Vehicles	5 years
-	Office equipment, furniture and fixtures	2 to 10 years
-	Mining equipment	10 years

The Company reviews the carrying values of its ~~buildings~~vehicles and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may not be recoverable. An ~~impairment~~Impairment is considered to exist if total estimated future cash flows, or probability-weighted cash flows on an undiscounted basis, are less than the carrying value of the assets. An impairment loss is measured and recorded based on discounted estimated future cash flows associated with values beyond proven and probable reserves and resources. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable future cash flows that are largely independent of cash flows from other asset groups. Generally, in estimating future cash flows, all assets are grouped at a particular property for which there are identifiable cash flows. Buildings and equipment utilized directly in commercial mining activities are depreciated, following the commencement of commercial production, over their expected economic lives using either the unit-of-production method or the straight-line method.

All vehicles and equipment are located in Brazil.

Land possession rights consist of amounts paid for possession rights to land in Brazil. Such costs are capitalized as the payments provide us with certain ownership rights for a period of time.

(e)

Mineral Property Reclamation Bonds and Other Related Refundable Costs

Costs paid for the purchase of reclamation bonds and other related costs that are refundable are capitalized. If amounts paid are not to be refunded then they will be expensed when it is determined they will not be refunded.

(f)

Mineral Properties and Exploration Expenses

Exploration costs are charged to operations as incurred until such time that proven reserves are discovered. From that time forward, the Company will capitalize all costs to the extent that future cash flow from mineral reserves equals or exceeds the costs deferred. The deferred costs will be amortized over the recoverable reserves when a property reaches commercial production. As at ~~December~~the ~~31,~~reporting period ~~2012 and 2011~~ended, the Company does not have proven reserves. Exploration activities conducted jointly with others are reflected at the Company's proportionate interest in such activities.

AURORA GOLD CORPORATIONFINANCIAL STATEMENTS (EXPRESSED IN U.S. DOLLARS)ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, ~~2012~~2013

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

The Company reviews the carrying values of its mineral properties on a regular basis by reference to the project economics including the timing of the exploration or development work, the program of works and the exploration results experienced by the Company and others. The review of the carrying value of any producing property will be made by reference to the estimated future operating results and net cash flows. When the carrying value of a property exceeds its estimated net recoverable amount, provision is made for the decline in value.

Estimated costs related to site restoration programs during the commercial development stage of the property are accrued over the life of the project.

(g)

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based payments under the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation consistent with GAAP. Under the fair value method, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and is recognized to expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. Where upon grant the options vest immediately the stock-based costs are expensed immediately.

(h)

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the periods ended December 31, ~~2012~~2013 and ~~2011~~2012 were nil.

(i)

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The Company's reporting currency is the United States Dollar (USD). Aurora Gold Mineração Ltda is a foreign operation and its functional currency is the Brazilian Real (Real). Certain contractual obligations in these consolidated financial statements are stated in Brazilian Real’s. At the years ended December 31, ~~2012~~2013 and ~~2011~~2012 the Brazilian Real exchange rate to the USD was $0.~~48800~~42320 to 1 Real (December 31, ~~2011~~ 2012: USD $0.~~5357~~48800 to 1 Real).

The Company translates foreign assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries, other than those denominated in USD, at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses of these subsidiaries are translated at the average rate of exchange throughout the reporting period. Gains or losses from these translations are reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss) until all or a part of the investment in the subsidiaries is sold or liquidated. The translation adjustments do not recognize the effect of income tax because the Company expects to reinvest the amounts indefinitely in operations. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists entirely of foreign currency translation adjustments at December 31, ~~2012~~2013 and ~~2011~~2012.

Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the local functional currency are included in foreign exchange (gain) loss in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

(j)

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions in Brazil and Canada. The Company occasionally has cash deposits in excess of federally insured limits. The Company had funds deposited in banks beyond the insured limits as of December 31, ~~2012~~ 2013 and ~~2011~~2012 respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses related to these balances, and management believes the credit risk to be minimal.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(k)

Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Risks

Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair value. ~~The carrying value of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and advances payable (including related parties) approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.~~

Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The Company operates outside of the United States of America (primarily in Brazil) and is exposed to foreign currency risk due to the fluctuation between the currency in which the Company operates in and the USD.

(l)

Income Taxes

The Company has adopted ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the Company to recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. In July 2006, the FASB issued an interpretation, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Estimated interest and penalties related to recording uncertain tax positions when recorded are included as a component of income tax expense on the consolidated statement of operations. The Company has not recorded any liabilities for uncertain tax positions or any related interest and penalties. The Company’s tax returns are open to audit for the years ending December 31, ~~2008~~2010 to ~~2012~~2013.

(m)

Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period including common stock issued effective the date committed. Common stock issuable is considered outstanding as of the original approval date for the purposes of earnings per share computations. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) by the sum of (a) the basic weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year and (b) additional shares that would have been issued and potentially dilutive securities. During the years ended December 31, ~~2012~~2013 and ~~2011~~2012 the diluted earnings (loss) per share was equivalent to the basic earnings (loss) per share because all potentially dilutive securities were anti-dilutive due to the net losses incurred. Potentially dilutive securities consist of stock options and warrants outstanding at the end of the reporting period. Stock options outstanding as at December 31, ~~2012~~ 2013 were 91,~~650~~930,000 (~~2011~~December 31, 2012: 91,~~050~~930,000). Warrants outstanding as at December 31, ~~2012~~2013 were 8nil (1,~~000~~600,000 lapsed during the prior quarter) (December 31, ~~2011~~2012: 81,~~000~~600,000).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(no) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company considers the effects of new accounting pronouncements on the accounting, presentation and disclosure of its consolidated financial statements, as such pronouncements become known. In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income or ASU 2011-05. The guidance in ASU 2011-05 revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. An entity is required to report the components of comprehensive income in either one or two consecutive financial statements:

- A single, continuous statement must present the components of net income and total net income, the components of other comprehensive income and total other comprehensive income, and a total for comprehensive income.

- In a two-statement approach, an entity must present the components of net income and total net income in the first statement. That statement must be immediately followed by a financial statement that presents the components of other comprehensive income, a total for other comprehensive income, and a total for comprehensive income.

ASU 2011-05 does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income. The amendments in ASU 2011-05 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 and the Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2012. In the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) the Company has presented comprehensive income in a single continuous statement.

At present, there are no other such pronouncements not yet effective that the Company expects will have a material impact on these consolidated financial statements.

DNPM Processes 850.782/05: 6,656.20 ha

Aurora has good title over the mineral rights object of the DNPM Process No. 850.782/05, which is valid and in force, free and clear of any judicial and extrajudicial encumbrances and taxes. On November 8, 2005 it was submitted to DNPM the Exploration Claim for gold in the Municipality of Itaituba, State of Pará. The Exploration Permit was granted on November 28, 2006 for a 3 (three) year period. The transfer to Aurora was approved on March 24, 2009 and on September 28, 2009 it was requested the renewal of the Exploration Permit. This area was reduced from 6,756 ha to 5,651.98 ha due to the overlapping with Garimpeira (alluvial) Mining properties held by Mr. Celio Paranhos. However the DNPM ́s general attorney in Brasilia agreed with Aurora’s legal thesis and nullified all applications filed by Mr. Paranhos (about to 1,900 applications). A new Exploration Permit rectifying the previous one was granted on August 20, 2010 for a 3 (three) year period, for an area of 6,656.20 hectares. An application has been lodged for the extension of the license and Aurora is awaiting the results of this. The renewal will be for a further 3 years and is expected to be granted in the near future. The Annual Fees per Hectare (TAHs) for the 1st and 2nd years of the extension period have been properly paid. The annual fee for the third year was paid in January 2013. ~~In order to have the Exploration Permit renewed an Exploration Report must be presented until June 20th 2013.~~ No payments or royalties are due regarding the DNPM Process 850.782/05 since it was acquired through a permutation agreement with Altoro Mineração Ltda.

3. Mineral Properties and Exploration Expenses (continued)

AGC Resources LLC (Boulder, Colorado Property) – Disposed June 14, 2011

On June 14, 2011, the Company, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Devtec Management Ltd. (“Devtec”), pursuant to which the Company sold its subsidiary, AGC, which owns certain properties in Boulder, Colorado, to Devtec for a total of $2 million, plus royalty. Under the terms of the agreement, Devtec will pay the Company $1 million upon production of the cumulative total of 1,000 ounces of gold and/or silver, and a further $1 million on the nine-month anniversary of the payment of the first $1 million. Additionally, Devtec will pay the Company a 5% royalty from the start of production.

The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the amount of minerals the properties will produce, if any, and thus there is uncertainty as to whether the purchase price will be collected. Given this, collection of the purchase price is not considered reasonably possible at the time of this report given the current uncertain status of exploration work on the Boulder, Colorado properties and thus no purchase price has been recorded as of December 31, 2012. Once collection of the purchase price becomes assured and the aforementioned uncertainties resolved, the purchase price will be recorded.

Therefore, the Company recognized a loss on the sale of its subsidiary of $2,757,511 during the year ended December 31, 2011, which represents the net book value of the assets transferred to Devtec on June 14, 2011 (no liabilities were assumed by Devtec) as follows:

Reclamation bonds	$	245,221
Buildings and equipment	$	753,605
Participating interest in mineral property	$	1,758,685
Total	$	2,757,511

Advances Payable

During March 2012, the Company entered into debt settlement agreements for $105,000 of advances received from a director of the Company and a company during fiscal 2011. As at December 31, ~~2012~~2013 advances payable were $32,000 (December 31, 2012: $32,000), which is non-interest bearing and due on demand.

6. Stock Options (continued)

The following is a summary of stock option activity for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the status of stock options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2011:

	Stock Options #			Weighted Average Exercise Price $		Remaining Contractual Life (years) 12/31/2011		Aggregate Intrinsic value at 12/31/2011

The total fair value of options granted for the year ended December 31 2011 (2010: nil) was $393,557 and expensed in full as options were vested in full on grant. The fair value of options are determined using the Black Scholes option pricing model that takes into account the exercise price, the expected life of the option, the share price at grant date (October 11, 2011 and November 24, 2011) and expected price volatility of the underlying share, the expected dividend yield (nil assumed) and the risk free interest rate (4.50% used) for the term of the option. Management determined 2.50 years to be the average expected likely life of the options and utilized the simplified method due to the fact that the Company has not had significant options granted to develop historical data to provide a reasonable basis to estimate option lives. Volatility rates were calculated at the grant date of each option tranche and rates of 116.95% and 120.89% respectively were used.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value for all “in-the-money” options (i.e. the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the fiscal year and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of each date presented.

~~The~~77 ~~Company~~| ~~and~~AURORA ~~its subsidiary operate~~GOLD in several tax jurisdictions, and its income is subject to various rates of taxation. The Company has net losses for tax purposes in the United States and Brazil totaling approximately $12,257,044 and $7,560,451, respectively, which may be applied against future taxable income. Accordingly, there is no tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. The potential tax benefits arising from these losses have not been recorded in the consolidated financial statements as a full valuation allowance has been recorded against them. The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements on an annual basis based on projected future operations. When circumstances change and this causes a change in management's judgment about the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is reflected in current operations.

Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiary operate in several tax jurisdictions, and its income is subject to various rates of taxation. The Company has net losses for tax purposes in the United States and Brazil totaling approximately $14,158,885 and $9,064,099 respectively, which may be applied against future taxable income. Accordingly, there is no tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. The potential tax benefits arising from these losses have not been recorded in the consolidated financial statements as a full valuation allowance has been recorded against them. The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements on an annual basis based on projected future operations. When circumstances change and this causes a change in management's judgment about the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is reflected in current operations. The right to claim the tax losses in the United States expire according to the following table:

Fiscal Year of Expiry	Amount $
2018		331,000
2019		795,000
2020		550,000
2022		138,000
2023		90,000
2024		222,000

Tax losses carried forward in Brazil have no expiration date and are available to offset up to 30% of annual income before tax in any year.
