Title:     Drilling continues to intercept high grade gold

TSX-V: AAZ

November 11, 2008

African Aura Resources Ltd. ("African Aura" or the "Company", TSX-V: AAZ ),an exploration company with gold, iron ore and uranium exploration activities in sub-Saharan Africa, announces that it has received further high grade intersections from its first phase diamond drilling programme on the Company's 100% owned Batouri project in eastern Cameroon.

• Drilling intersects 65.9g/t over 2.67m, and 43.3g/t Au over 1.50m at Kambele
• 29 holes completed at Kambele to date for a total of 3,464m
• Drilling also underway at Dimako gold prospect
• New 8km gold in soil anomaly at Djengou prospect, trenching underway

The Company's diamond coring rigs are nearing completion of an initial 50 hole programme on the 3.5km long Kambele trend, which in places is up to 500m wide as defined by a >250ppb gold-in-soil contour that coincides with extensive hard rock artisanal workings. Drilling to date has comprised five discontinuous fences to maximum depths of 157m across approximately 30% of the trend. As of 10 November 08, hole KBDD030 was being drilled at Kambele. See map at:http://www.african-aura.com/s/Batouri.asp?ReportID=155407)

Results to date from Kambele indicate good correlation between the surface geochemical anomaly, potassic alteration as defined by a geophysical survey, and the presence of high grade gold bearing quartz veins.

Intersections from recent assay data are shown in Table 1.

Intersections are based on a 0.5 g/t cut-off grade with no top cut applied.

Dimako Prospect

The Company's second diamond rig is presently drilling hole DMDD013 of an initial 20 hole programme to test the 3.5km long Dimako - Mongonam shear zone hosted gold prospect. Dimako is located 7km to the south west of Kambele and results from this first phase programme will be announced when received.

Djengou Prospect

Elsewhere, a regional soil sampling programme, with samples collected at 200m intervals on 200m spaced lines, has outlined an 8km long gold in soil anomaly defined by a greater than 25ppb gold contour at Djengou. The prospect coincides with a major structural lineament as observed from remote sensing data which is considered to be a potential shear zone with the same strike as the Dimako - Mongonam zone. A systematic programme of trenching is currently underway across the structure. Results from the trenching will be used to guide follow up trenching and any future drilling
