About Oroco
Oroco is a Canadian-based mineral exploration company with its primary focus on the identification and development of precious metal properties in Mexico. Oroco has an agreement in place for the sale of its Cerro Prieto Project to Goldgroup Mining Inc. for total consideration of US $18 million. Oroco also owns a 100% interest in the 193 ha Xochipala Property, located within the Guerrero Gold Belt in the Morelos region of Guerrero State in central Mexico (the "GGB"). The GGB consists of a series of gold-bearing iron skarn and disseminated intrusion-hosted deposits which contain a current inventory of over 20 million NI 43-101 compliant ounces of gold in all categories (excluding Inferred). Each of these identified deposits has a geophysical signature consisting of a strong high magnetic anomaly caused by iron mineralization produced in the mineralizing process. The Xochipala Property is underlain by such a magnetic anomaly and exhibits geological characteristics similar to known deposits in the Guerrero Gold Belt. The Xochipala anomaly includes the existence of a strong magnetic signature and extensive areas of alteration associated with the contact between the intrusive and overlying sediments, and is also the last such anomaly in the Guerrero Gold Belt which remains untested by modern exploration methods.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
