SABODALA UPDATE
Oromin Explorations Ltd. (TSX-V:OLE) is pleased to report that it is continuing its preparations for the commencement of exploration of its Sabodala Property in south-eastern Sénégal. Oromin expects to begin exploration in January 2005 with a property-wide airborne geophysical survey, various ground surveys and the first stage of drilling at the Golouma prospect.
The 230 square kilometre Sabodala Property is underlain by the same greenstone geologic environment that contains the broad Mali-Sénégal Shear Zone, which hosts many large gold deposits in adjacent Mali, including the Sadiola Gold Deposit of IAMGold and Anglogold. The 9.8 million-ounce Sadiola Gold Deposit has an annual production of approximately 600,000 ounces of gold. Additional world-class gold deposits in adjacent Mali hosted by the same structural/geological environment include: Morila (5.6 million ounces); Syama (5.2 million ounces); and Loulo (4.0 million ounces.
In addition to the Sabodala Project,Oromin is continuing its negotiations to acquire a highly prospective gold property in Brazil.

SABODALA UPDATE
Oromin Explorations Ltd. (TSX-V:OLE) is pleased to report that Irie Isle Limited, its wholly-owned BVI subsidiary, has now received 1,000,000 shares of Surge Global Energy, Inc. (“Surge”), pursuant to its agreement with Surge whereby Surge can acquire up to a 50% effective interest in Oromin’s Santa Rosa oil and gas prospect in Argentina. With the delivery of these shares, Surge now owns a 17.52% beneficial interest in the Santa Rosa property. Surge has advised Oromin that it expects to complete the purchase of the remaining 32.48% interest shortly.
Following the completion of Surge’s acquisition of its remaining interest, Oromin and Surge will jointly undertake the next phase of the exploration program, at an estimated cost of US$1,350,000, which will consist of interpretation of seismic data, completion of environmental studies, drilling three exploration wells and, contingent upon success, completing one production well. All required funding for the upcoming phase of exploration and all future exploration and development of the Santa Rosa property, will be borne equally by each party.
