Aura Silver Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AUU) ("Aura Silver" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce the results of a comprehensive report completed by L.E Reed
Geophysical Consultant Inc. ("Reed") which supports, from a geophysical
standpoint, drill targets established geochemically by Activation Laboratories
Ltd. (Actlabs) Spatiotemporal Geochemical Hydrocarbon ("SGH") technology for the
Aura Lake area as well as the Dingo prospect north-west of Aura Lake, both part
of the Greyhound Project, NU. 


As reported by Reed, "Correlations between the geochemistry and various
geophysical data suggest support for the possible identification of gold and
silver deposits at Aura Lake and a gold and copper deposit at Dingo". This
report may be accessed at the Company's web-site
(http://www.aurasilver.com/s/Home.asp) under the section Projects / Canada.


The potential sources of high-grade gold boulders (up to 28 g/t) and high-grade
silver (up to 5,300 g/t) have been identified in close proximity to Aura Lake.
The gold and copper targets at the Dingo prospect area north-west of Aura Lake
are surface showings. New interpretation of geophysical data and SGH has refined
the drill targets. This geophysical analysis has identified multiple
structures/contacts with the use of three-dimensional inversion imagery of
airborne VTEM EM and magnetic responses and ground Induced Polarization and
Resistivity data. These structures/contacts at Aura Lake may have provided a
pathway for fluids carrying mineralization and are interpreted to support the
drill targets originally defined by geochemical analysis.


Robert Boaz CEO and President of Aura Silver states that, "The detailed
geophysics analysis undertaken by Reed gives us further comfort that we are
zeroing in on the source of high-grade surface gold, silver and copper
mineralization. Despite the difficult market for all junior exploration
companies we continue to enhance the value of our properties."


Paul Pitman, P. Geo. is Aura Silver's qualified person (as defined by National
Instrument 43-101) and has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical
information in this press release. 


About Actlabs

Actlabs' SGH technology is a deep penetrating "organic geochemistry" that
involves the analysis of surficial samples prospected over potential mineral or
petroleum targets (see: http://www.actlabs.com/files/SGH_-_NEW_.pdf). The
analysis involves the testing for 162 hydrocarbon compounds in the C5-C17 carbon
series range. These hydrocarbons result from bacterial activity associated with
a variety of minerals such as gold, silver and petroleum deposits, among others.
The observation of a specific set of hydrocarbon classes provides a forensic
signature of mineral identification related to the hydrocarbons synthesized by
bacteria that are in contact with the mineral target at depth. The
geochromatographic dispersion of the SGH classes in the overburden has been
successful in delineating mineral targets buried at depth of as much as 1,000
metres. Over 14 years of research, Actlabs has conducted over 900 SGH surveys
with an 85% repeat client base including some of the worlds' largest mining
companies. 


The recently developed Organo-Sulphur Geochemical analysis detects specific
sulphur based hydrocarbons related to the sulphur component of targets including
from massive sulphide mineralization. This analysis has complemented and refined
the previous SGH study, more narrowly defining these targets to a point where
ratings were either maintained or increased such that all targets now have the
highest priority rating. According to Actlabs, the highest level rating achieved
by the three targets indicates that "the SGH classes most important to
describing a gold-related (or silver-related) hydrocarbon signature are all
present and consistently vector with the same location with well-defined
anomalies". To obtain this rating there also needs to be other SGH classes that
when mapped lend support and confidence to the predicted location.
