Aura Silver Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:AUU) ("Aura Silver" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that the Aura Silver / Intrepid Mines Ltd. joint venture
("Taviche JV") will receive a payout of US $2.0 million net of prior concession
fees owed to Pan American Silver Corp. ("Pan Am"). The payout has been triggered
by the completion of Pan Am's sale of the West Taviche concession to Fortuna
Silver Mines Inc. and is in accordance with the agreement between the Taviche JV
and Pan Am which was completed in April 2012. The April 2012 agreement allowed
Pan Am to retain a 100% ownership of West Taviche with the proviso that upon a
sale of an interest greater than 70% in the property, US $2.0 million would be
paid to the Taviche JV. In turn, the Taviche JV received a 100% ownership
interest in the East Taviche concession where the Taviche JV has had the
greatest amount of drilling success. Pan Am retains a 1.5% net smelter royalty
in respect of East Taviche.


The net payout of approximately US $1.85 million will be split between Aura
Silver and Intrepid based on their current shares of the Taviche JV resulting in
a final payout of approximately US $1.3 million to Aura Silver. This payout
relieves Pan Am of any further obligations to the Taviche JV with respect to
West Taviche.


Aura Silver plans to utilize these funds to advance exploration at both the East
Taviche and Greyhound properties and for general corporate and working capital
requirements.
