NUMEROUS NEW TARGET AREAS OUTLINED BY ONGOING REGIONAL EXPLORATION
Oromin Explorations Ltd (“TSX-V:OLE”) is pleased to provide an update on the rapidly advancing exploration program at its Sabodala Property in eastern Senegal. Despite the rainy season, Oromin has continued its successful excavator trenching and drilling activity throughout the property. As the rainy season draws to a close at Sabodala, Oromin will escalate all aspects of the exploration program with the addition of a second excavator, re-instatement of the soil sampling program, re-start of ground IP geophysics, and mobilisation of additional drill rigs, including both RAB and RC drills.
The following table outlines the significant drilling results from ten new holes and four excavator trenches at the Golouma West Zone:

All drill hole assay intervals are based on one metre sample composites and a 0.5 g/t gold cut-off. The attitude of mineralized intervals varies and may not represent true widths. Two holes drilled to test a geophysical anomaly at the Golouma East area returned only geochemically anomalous results.
OTHER EXPLORATION TARGETS
Since the commencement of Oromin’s USD$8 million comprehensive exploration program at Sabodala, Oromin has made more than thirty new prospecting discoveries throughout the Sabodala exploration concession.
Of these new exploration discoveries only four have been subject to a significant amount of exploration: Golouma West and Golouma South, the extensions to the previously known Masato Zone and the Niakafiri Southwest/Southeast Zone - southern extension of the Niakafiri Deposit located on the adjacent property of Mineral Deposits Limited.
Many of Oromin’s newly discovered exploration target areas are at the same stage of exploration as the foregoing four discoveries were twelve months ago. In particular, the Cloverleaf, Kinemba, Sabodala North, Sekoto, Mamakono and Maki Madina, target areas are priority exploration targets.
A compilation map showing the location of the new drill holes and the some of the new prospecting discoveries is attached.
Oromin is presently compiling an overview of its exploration to date and expects to release this compilation information shortly.
Fieldwork was carried out under the supervision of Gerald McArthur P. Geol., a “qualified person” for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101, who has also verified the data disclosed in this news release. TSL Laboratories in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan carried out all assaying.
