AURA SILVER UPDATES PLANS FOR BOTH GREYHOUND, NUNAVUT AND EAST TAVICHE, MEXICO

Aura Silver Resources Inc. has provided an update on activities at its Greyhound property in Nunavut, Canada, as well as its East Taviche property in Oaxaca state, Mexico.

Greyhound -- phase 2 drilling to initiate in summer 2015

Following the completion of phase 1 drilling in 2014, the company has had numerous strategic planning sessions with its partner Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd. to determine the year 2 drilling program. Total expenditures incurred by Agnico Eagle during phase 1 were approximately $262,000, which exceeded the first year spending requirement, and were focused on the drilling of eight holes and a rock sampling program.

Phase 2 expenditures required to comply with the continuing earn-in requirement under the existing option agreement (see June 10, 2014, press release) are required to be a minimum of $500,000. It is anticipated that the 2015 field program will be focused on the highest-priority targets identified. Details of the 2015 drill plan are currently being finalized and will be announced when available. It is anticipated that a drill rig and field crew will mobilize to the property no later than August.

The Greyhound property was first prospected by an exploration team led by Paul Pitman, manager of Canadian operations, and Eric Craigie, non-executive director of Aura Silver, in the mid-1990s. Subsequent work on the property by Aura Silver identified numerous high-grade gold and silver surface samples. With the expertise of Agnico Eagle's geologists, a drill program has been outlined to confirm the potential for both a gold and a silver resource at Greyhound.

Aura Silver's claims cover an Archean greenstone belt in the White Hills Lake area just 38 kilometres north of the town of Baker Lake. The property straddles the all-weather road, which extends from Baker Lake to Agnico Eagle's Meadowbank mine approximately 32 kilometres to the north of the property.

This Archean bimodal volcanic sequence is capped by a distinct and laterally extensive exhalite unit comprising chert and banded iron formation that is underexplored, with only minimal recent drilling. The company has determined that the geologic structure hosts drill targets that show the potential for significant success with the upcoming drill program.

East Taviche -- multiple silver and gold targets -- financing alternatives being assessed

At East Taviche, Aura Silver has identified a number of geochemically defined silver and gold targets along a 7.5-kilometre north-south trend adjacent to, and on strike with, the company's previously defined silver/gold resource (see Jan. 29, 2015, press release). This mineralized trend is referred to as the Higo Blanco trend. Aura Silver is currently looking at strategic financing alternatives that include potential partners which could advance the East Taviche property, in order to expand and increase the current resource, and test other targets.

The Higo Blanco trend contains 14 sizable silver pods and seven gold-related pods, some of which overlap and are considered high-probability drill targets. These newly discovered anomalies are significantly larger in size than Aura Silver's current resource area. In addition, to the far north of the Higo Blanco trend, there is a potentially deeper redox zone with overlapping gold and silver targets that should be investigated during a future drill program.

The company believes that portions of this 7.5-kilometre north-south silver trend are defined by a structural zone where historic pits have been mapped, but few have been sampled. These pits lie within silicified limestone breccias or jasperoid, and on surface, are locally mineralized with stibnite crystals (antimony) and occasional pyrargyrite (silver sulfosalt) clots. Aura Silver's defined resource lies to the immediate south of this jasperoid body, and is hosted by silicified limestone breccias cut by quartz veins and stockworks. In the standard epithermal column, antimony mineralization is known as a pathfinder to both silver and gold epithermal deposits. Several other sizable individual anomalies are also identified along the northwestern flank of the jasperoid body. The two northerly redox zones located three kilometres north of the defined resource appear to be deeper structures and coincide with a sizable higher-elevation stibnite complex.

Paul Pitman, BSc, PGeo, and Patrick Toth, BSc, PGeo, are qualified persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and have reviewed and approved the contents of this press release regarding the Greyhound project and East Taviche project, respectively.

We seek Safe Harbor.
