This quarterly report contains statements that plan for or anticipate the future
and  are  not  historical facts. In this Report these forward looking statements
are  generally  identified  by  words  such  as "anticipate", "plan", "believe",
"expect",  "estimate",  and the like. Because forward looking statements involve
future  risks  and  uncertainties,  these  are  factors  that could cause actual
results  to  differ  materially  from  the  estimated  results.  These risks and
uncertainties  are  detailed  in  Part  1  -  Financial  Information  -  Item 1.
"Financial Statements", Item 2. "Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
Operation".

The  Private  Securities  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995, which provides a "safe
harbor" for such statements, may not apply to this Report.

     Notes  to  Interim  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  (Unaudited)
     --------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   Nature  of  Business  and  Continuance  of  Operations

     The  Company  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 has not yet
     determined  whether  its  properties  contain  mineral reserves that may be
     economically  recoverable.

     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
     continued  operations  of  the  Company  and  the recoverability of mineral
     property  costs is dependent upon the existence of economically recoverable
     mineral  reserves, confirmation of the Company's interest in the underlying
     mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to
     complete the development and upon future profitable production. The Company
     has  incurred  recurring  operating losses and requires additional funds to
     meet  its  obligations  and  maintain its operations. Management's plans in
     this  regard  are  to  raise  equity  financing  as  required.

     These  conditions  raise  substantial  doubt about the Company's ability to
     continue  as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any
     adjustments  that  might  result  from  this  uncertainty.

     The Company has not generated any operating revenues to date.

2.   Basis  of  Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
     been  prepared  in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
     for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-QSB
     and  Article  10  of Regulation S-X and include the accounts of the Company
     and  its  wholly-owned  subsidiary  Aurora  Gold  S.A.  All  inter-company
     transactions  and  balances  have been eliminated. Accordingly, they do not
     include  all  the  information and footnotes required by generally accepted
     accounting  principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
     management,  all  adjustments  (consisting  only  of  normal  recurring
     adjustments)  considered  necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  have  been
     included.  Operating  results for the nine-month period ended September 30,
     2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
     the  year  ended  December  31,  2002.

     The  balance  sheet  at December 31, 2001 has been derived from the audited
     financial  statements  at  that date. The consolidated financial statements
     and footnotes thereto included in the Aurora Gold Corporation Annual Report
     on  Form  10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2001 should be reviewed in
     connection  with  these  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements.

3.   Significant  Accounting  Policies

     (a)  Accounting  Estimates

          The  preparation  of financial statements in conformity with generally
          accepted  accounting  principles 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.

     (b)  Fixed  Assets

          Depreciation  is based on the estimated useful lives of the assets and
          is  computed using the straight-line method. Fixed assets are recorded
          at  cost.  Depreciation  is  provided over the following useful lives:


                                        6
<PAGE>
               Computer equipment              2 years
               Telecommunication equipment     5 years
               Office equipment                5 years


     (c)  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 September 30, 2002 and
          December  31,  2001,  the  Company  did  not  have  proven  reserves.

          Costs  of  initial  acquisition  of mineral rights and concessions are
          capitalized  until  the properties are abandoned or the right expires.

          Exploration  activities conducted jointly with others are reflected at
          the  Company's  proportionate  interest  in  such  activities

          Costs  related  to site restoration programs are accrued over the life
          of  the  project.

     (d)  Stock-Based  Compensation

          The  Company  applies  Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No.
          25,  "Accounting  for  Stock  Issued  to  Employees",  and  related
          interpretations  in  accounting  for stock option plans. Under APB No.
          25,  compensation  cost  is  recognized  for  stock options granted at
          prices  below  the  market price of the underlying common stock on the
          date  of  grant.

          SFAS  No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", requires the
          Company  to  provide  pro-forma information regarding net income as if
          compensation  cost  for  the  Company's  stock  option  plan  had been
          determined  in  accordance with the fair value based method prescribed
          in  SFAS  No.  123.

     (e)  Advertising  Expenses

          The  Company  expenses  advertising  costs  as incurred. There were no
          advertising  expenses  incurred  by  the Company for the periods ended
          September  30,  2002  and  December  31,  2001.

     (f)  Long-Lived  Assets  Impairment

          Certain  long-term  assets of the Company are reviewed when changes in
          circumstances  require  as  to whether their carrying value has become
          impaired,  pursuant  to guidance established in Statement of Financial
          Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the impairment
          of  Long-Lived  Assets  and  for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of".
          Management  considers  assets  to  be  impaired  if the carrying value
          exceeds  the  future  projected  cash  flows  from  related operations
          (undiscounted  and  without interest charges). If impairment is deemed
          to  exist,  the  assets  will  be  written  down  to  fair  value.

     (g)  Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and  Hedging  Activities

          In  September  1998,  the  Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
          SFAS  No.  133  "Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging
          Activities".  SFAS  No.  133  requires  companies  to  recognize  all
          derivative  contracts  as  either assets or liabilities in the balance
          sheet  and  to  measure  them at fair value. If certain conditions are
          met,  a  derivative  may  be  specifically  designated as a hedge, the
          objective  of which is to match the timing of gain or loss recognition
          on  the  hedging derivative with the recognition of (i) the changes in
          the  fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable
          to the hedged risk or (ii) the designated as a hedging instrument, the
          gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change. SFAS No.
          133  is  effective  for  all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning
          after  September  15,  2000.


                                        7
<PAGE>
          Historically,  the  Company  has not entered into derivative contracts
          either  to  hedge  existing  risks  or  for  speculative purposes. The
          Company  does  not  anticipate that the adoption of the statement will
          have  a  significant  impact  on  its  financial  statements.

     (h)  Income  Taxes

          The  Company  has  adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
          ("SFAS")  No.  109,  "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  carry 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.

     (i)  Loss  Per  Share

          Loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares
          outstanding during the year. Effective for the year ended December 31,
          1997,  the Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". Diluted
          loss  per  share  is  equivalent  to  basic  loss  per  share.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S' DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

(A)  General

     The Company is a mineral exploration company based in Vancouver, Canada and
     is  engaged  in  the  exploration  for  precious  metals.  The  Company was
     incorporated  under  the laws of the State of Delaware on October 10, 1995,
     under  the  name  "Chefs Acquisition Corp.". On August 20, 1996 the Company
     changed  its  name  to  Aurora Gold Corporation and is an exploration stage
     enterprise.

     This  document contains numerous forward-looking statements relating to the
     Company's  business. The United States Private Securities Litigation Reform
     Act  of  1995  provides  a  "safe  harbor"  for  certain  forward-looking
     statements. Operating, exploration and financial data, and other statements
     in  this document are based on information the company believes reasonable,
     but  involve significant uncertainties as to future gold and silver prices,
     costs,  ore  grades,  estimation  of  gold  and silver reserves, mining and
     processing  conditions, changes that could result from the Company's future
     acquisition  of  new mining properties or businesses, the risks and hazards
     inherent  in  the  mining  business  (including  environmental  hazards,
     industrial  accidents,  weather  or  geologically  related  conditions),
     regulatory  and permitting matters, and risks inherent in the ownership and
     operation  of, or investment in, mining properties or businesses in foreign
     countries.  Actual results and timetables could vary significantly from the
     estimates  presented.  Readers  are  cautioned not to put undue reliance on
     forward-looking  statements. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation
     to update publicly these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of
     new  information,  future  events  or  otherwise.


                                        9
<PAGE>
     None of the Company's properties contain any known Mineral Reserves.

     The Company's common stock is traded on the NASD OTC Bulletin Board.

(B)  Significant  developments  during the nine-month period ended September 30,
     2002.

     During the nine month period ended September 30, 2002 the Company continued
     to  examine  data  relating  to  the  potential  acquisition of exploration
     properties  in  Guatemala,  Mexico  and  the  United  States  of  America.

(C)  EXPLORATION  AND  DEVELOPMENT

     The  Company  conducts  exploration  activities  from  its  headquarters in
     Vancouver, Canada. The Company owns or controls unpatented mining claims in
     British  Columbia  Canada.  The  Company's  strategy  is to concentrate its
     investigations  into:  (i)  Existing  operations  where  an  infrastructure
     already  exists;  (ii)  Properties  presently  being  developed  and/or  in
     advanced  stages  of  exploration  which  have  potential  for  additional
     discoveries;  and  (iii)  Grass-roots  exploration  opportunities.

     The  Company  is  currently  concentrating  its  exploration  activities in
     Canada.  The  Company  is  also  examining  data  relating to the potential
     acquisition  of  other  exploration properties in Guatemala, Mexico and the
     United  States  of  America.

     Exploration  expenses  on  the British Columbia Kumealon limestone prospect
     totalled  $829  during  the  nine-months  ended  September 30, 2002 (2001 -
     $880).

     The  Company's  property  is in the exploration stage only and is without a
     known  body  of  Mineral  Reserves. Development of the property 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 Company's mineral exploration and development activities
     will  result  in  any  discoveries  of  commercially  viable  bodies  of
     mineralization.  The  long-term  profitability  of the Company's operations
     will  be,  in  part,  directly  related  to  the  cost  and  success of its
     exploration  programs,  which  may  be  affected  by  a  number of factors.

(D)  Financial  Information

     Nine-Months Ended September 30, 2002 versus Nine-Months Ended September 30,
     2001

     Financing:

     In  May  2002  the  Company  settled  $256,539  of  debts with the issue of
     2,721,433  shares  of  common stock at prices ranging from $0.065 to $0.150
     per  share.  The  Company  did  not issue any shares during the fiscal year
     ended  December  31,  2001.

     Net  Loss:

     For  the  nine-months  ended  September 30, 2002 the Company recorded a net
     loss  of  $77,645 or $0.01 per share, compared to net income of $140,945 or
     $0.01  per  share  in  2001.

     In  fiscal  year  2001, the Company disposed of its wholly owned subsidiary
     Deltango Gold Limited ("Deltango") for $Nil consideration to the management
     of  Deltango.  At  the  date  of  disposition, Deltango had a stockholder's
     deficiency  of  $476,038; $259,564 of which was funded by the Company, with
     the balance of $216,474 being funded by other creditors. Since the debt due
     to  other  creditors  was  assumed by the purchaser, the Company recorded a
     gain  of  $216,474  on  recovery  of exploration costs expensed previously.

     Revenues:

     The  Company  had  no  operating  revenues  for the nine-month period ended

     The  following  is  a  breakdown of the exploration expenses by property: -
     Canada,  Kumealon  property  $829  (fiscal  2001  -  $880).

(E)  Financial  Condition  and  liquidity

     At  September  30,  2002,  the Company had cash of $1,315 (2001 - $551) and
     working  capital  deficiency of $227,988 (2001 working capital deficiency -
     $215,240)  respectively.  Total  liabilities  as of September 30, 2002 were
     $288,740  (2001  -  $350,164)  a  decrease  of  $61,424.

     Net cash from operating activities in the nine-month period ended September

     in  investing  activities in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002
     $0  (2001  -  $206,978).

     The  Company  does  not  have  sufficient  working  capital  to (i) pay its
     administrative and general operating expenses through December 31, 2002 and
     (ii)  to  conduct  its  preliminary exploration programs. Without cash flow
     from operations, it may need to obtain additional funds (presumably through
     equity  offerings  and/or  debt  borrowing)  in  order,  if  warranted,  to
     implement  additional  exploration  programs  on its properties. Failure to
     obtain such additional financing may result in a reduction of the Company's
     interest  in  certain  properties or an actual foreclosure of its interest.
     The  Company has no agreements or understandings with any person as to such
     additional  financing.

     None  of  the  Company's properties has commenced commercial production and
     the  Company  has  no history of earnings or cash flow from its operations.
     While  the  Company  may  attempt  to  generate  additional working capital
     through  the  operation,  development,  sale  or  possible  joint  venture
     development of its properties, there is no assurance that any such activity
     will  generate  funds  that  will  be  available  for  operations.

     The  Company  has  not declared or paid a cash dividend on its shares since
     incorporation and does not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.
