you should be able to get references with \cite{key1} and \cite{key2}.
where key1 and key2 are bibtex keys in a bibtex file called references.bib.

you need at the end of your org-file where you want the bibliography to
appear:

\bibliographystyle{unsrt}
\bibliography{references}


In your init file, you may need to do this:
;; for minted you must run latex with -shell-escape because it calls
pygmentize as an external program
(setq org-latex-pdf-process
      '("pdflatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory
%o %b"
        "bibtex %b"
        "pdflatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory
%o %b"
        "pdflatex -shell-escape -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory
%o %b"))

I do not think org-mode runs bibtex by default. After that you should see
the references.
