TIDMMANA 14 October 2009 TSX-V: AUR AIM: AAAM COMPLETION OF MERGER, SHARE CONSOLIDATION, NAME CHANGE, DE-LISTING OF AFRICAN AURA RESOURCES LTD AND TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF TRADING ON AIM Mano River Resources Inc. ("Mano" or the "Company"), the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSX-V") and AIM listed exploration to production company focused on gold and iron ore in West Africa, is pleased to announce the completion of its merger with African Aura Resources Limited ("AAR", TSX-V:AAZ) (the "Transaction"). Highlights: * AAR shareholders received 1.57 shares in Mano for each share held in AAR * Mano consolidated its enlarged issued share capital on a 1 new share for 8 existing shares basis * Mano changed its name to African Aura Mining Inc ("African Aura") * African Aura to trade on AIM (AAAM) and on TSX-V (AUR) * Having been acquired by Mano, AAR shares have been delisted from TSX-V * David Netherway (Non-Executive Chairman) and Steven Poulton (Non-Executive Director) appointed to enlarged board of African Aura * Updated company website at www.african-aura.com Merger details The Transaction was structured as a merger under the corporate laws of the British Virgin Islands ("BVI"), in accordance with the combination agreement dated 30 June 2009 between AAR and Mano. AAR has merged with MANAAR Limited, a wholly-owned BVI subsidiary of Mano. AAR shareholders received 1.57 shares of Mano for each common share they held in AAR, provided that no fractional shares of Mano were issued. After closing of the Transaction, Mano undertook a 1 for 8 share consolidation (one new post-consolidation share for every 8 pre-consolidation shares) and changed its corporate name to "African Aura Mining Inc.". Post merger and post share consolidation African Aura has an issued share capital of 52,884,456 shares on an undiluted and 60,487,568 shares on a fully diluted basis. The shares of African Aura will trade on the TSX-V and AIM markets under the symbols AUR and AAAM, respectively. In connection with the Transaction AAR shares have been delisted from the TSX-V. Temporary suspension to trading on AIM Pursuant to the share consolidation, the Company was required to obtain a new ISIN and re-admit the post-consolidated shares to CREST in order that trades can be settled electronically. The Company is in the process of admitting the post-consolidated shares to CREST and hopes to complete this process today. As such, the Board has requested a temporary suspension of the trading of its shares on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange. The Company is seeking to resolve this issue as soon as possible and anticipates re-admission of the post-consolidated shares during the course of today. The Company will update the market in due course.

In parallel African Aura will continue the cost effective exploration of its Nkout iron ore project and portfolio of gold and uranium projects in Cameroon. Where appropriate, cost and risk sharing joint ventures will be undertaken and further merger and acquisition opportunities in sub-Saharan Africa will continue to be assessed as part of the merged company's broader long term strategy to become a leading resource company in Africa with robust gold and iron ore divisions.
