     RE:     Aurora Gold Corporation-Preliminary Proxy Statement

Dear Sir or Madame:

     In  response  to  telephonic comments received by us from the Staff, please
note  that  the  fourth  full paragraph under Proposal 3 will be deleted and the
following  substituted  in  lieu  thereof:

     "The Board of Directors has proposed the increase in the authorized capital
stock to provide shares which could be used for a variety of corporate purposes,
including mergers, acquisitions, the raising of additional capital, and
implementation of incentive and other option plans. While the Board of Directors
believes it important that the Company has the flexibility that would be
provided by having additional authorized capital stock available, the Company
does not have any plans, agreements or arrangements that would require the
issuance of such stock. The Board of Directors believes it would be in the
Company's best interest, however, to have such additional shares of authorized
stock available to enable it to take advantage of opportunities for possible
future acquisitions, raising capital for future development and operations and
the establishment of equity compensation plans, including the plans proposed to
be adopted in Proposal 4 below. It is also possible that additional capital
stock that would be authorized by the proposed amendment could be issued in a
transaction that might discourage offers by takeover bidders or make such offers
more difficult or expensive to accomplish, although the Board of Directors has
no current plans for any such use of the capital stock."

     The foregoing language will be included in the to be filed definitive proxy
statement

Thank  you  for  your  courtesy,  assistance  and  cooperation  in  this matter.

Very truly yours,

AURORA GOLD CORPORATION
