Ottawa, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 29, 2018) - Aura Silver Resources (TSXV: AUU) ("Aura" or the "Company") announces that, at the Special Meeting of shareholders of the Company held on November 15, 2018, Aura's shareholders approved the previously announced name change and consolidation of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation common share for every five (5) pre-consolidation common shares (the "Consolidation"). The Company's new name will be "Aura Resources Inc.". Significant shareholder support for both the name change and Consolidation was received with approximately 99.4% and 95.5%, respectively, of the shares voted at the Special Meeting in favor of these resolutions.

The Company has received approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") for the name change and Consolidation. The Company's common shares will begin trading under the new name on the TSXV on a post-consolidated basis at market open on Friday, November 30, 2018. The Company will continue to trade under the symbol "AUU" on the TSXV. It is expected that the Consolidation will reduce the number of outstanding common shares from 137,450,558 common shares to approximately 27,490,112 post-consolidation common shares on a non-diluted basis. No fractional shares will be issued with any fraction of a share rounded up to the nearest whole number if 0.5 or greater and down to the nearest whole number if less than 0.5 of a share.

The number outstanding and exercise price of all of the Company's currently outstanding convertible securities, including warrants, compensation options and stock options will also be adjusted to give effect to the Consolidation.

No further action on the part of the shareholders will be required in order for the Board to implement the Consolidation. Letters of transmittal describing the process by which registered shareholders may obtain new certificates representing their consolidated common shares were mailed to registered shareholders with the materials for the Special Meeting. Common Shares held in uncertificated form by non-registered shareholders through brokerage accounts will be converted at the consolidation ratio through each shareholder's brokerage account. Non-registered shareholders should consult with their broker for further information.
