PHASE 1 EXPLORATION COMPLETED AT CARNEIRINHO
Lund Gold Ltd. (TSX-V:LGD) and Oromin Explorations Ltd. (TSX-V:OLE) are pleased to report that the Phase 1 exploration at the Carneirinho Property in the Tapajos region of north central Brazil is complete. The exploration included the collection of 1199 soil and 73 rock samples as well as gridding, ground geophysical surveying (magnetics) and reconnaissance mapping totaling more than 68 line kilometers.
Extensive former and current garimpeiro workings are located within the Carneirinho Property. Historical production from the property is reported to be approximately 3 tonnes of gold. The main garimpeiro pit, Antonio de Luca had a corresponding gold in soil anomaly and is associated with a well defined magnetic low. At least four newly discovered magnetic lows exist within the project area which will be considered for follow-up exploration.
Samples have been sent to Lakefield Geosol Laboratories (Lakefield), Belo Horizonte, Brazil and results are expected by end November, 2006. All samples will be analyzed for gold and multi-element geochemistry. Lakefield is ISO9001, version 2000 certified.
Lund and Oromin hold an option to jointly acquire a 100% interest in the Carneirinho Property. The 2006 exploration was completed under the direction of Mr. Dean Besserer, P.Geol., APEX Geoscience Ltd., of Edmonton, Alberta, who is a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101.

LUND AND OROMIN DISCOVER NEW HIGH PRIORITY GOLD TARGETS AT CARNEIRINHO
Lund Gold Ltd. (TSX-V:LGD) and Oromin Explorations Ltd. (TSX-V:OLE) are pleased to report that the Phase 1 exploration at the Carneirinho Property in the Tapajos region of north central Brazil is complete. Extensive former and current garimpeiro workings are located within the Carneirinho Property. Historical production from the property is reported to be approximately 3 tonnes of gold. The main garimpeiro pit, Antonio de Luca had a corresponding gold in soil anomaly and is associated with a well defined magnetic low.
Initial gold results from the Phase 1 reconnaissance sampling program show that 185 soil samples out of 1200 contain more than background levels of gold. (see Table 1 below) In total, 6 spacially separate gold anomalies exist away from the current garimpeiro workings. Of the six gold anomalies, 4 exist in conjunction with a coincidental magnetic low and two of the anomalies are coincident with a linear magnetic high based on the ground geophysical survey completed as part of the phase 1 exploration.
TABLE 1 -GOLD IN SOILS - ANOMALY SUMMARY PHASE 1
| Gold (>100ppb) | Gold (50 - 100 ppb) | Gold (20-50ppb) | Gold (5 - 20 ppb) |
Soil Samples | 4 samplesup to 2594 ppb | 10 samples | 31 samples | 140 samples |
In summary,Anomaly 1: the gold in soil anomaly exists immediately north of the existing gold producing garimpeiro pits on a large topographic high associated with a strong magnetic low. Gold in soils areup to 2594 ppb. The anomaly extends for 350m north by 400m east-west and may represent a portion of the primary source of the abundant gold in streams being recovered by garimpeiros;Anomaly 2: 550m strike length withup to 134 ppb Au associated with a broad linear magnetic low;Anomaly 3: 450 m strike length withup to 67 ppb Au associated with a discrete weak magnetic low;Anomaly 4: 250m strike length withup to 82 ppb Au associated with a linear magnetic low;Anomaly 5: 250m strike length withup to 123 ppb Au associated with a broad NW trending magnetic high;Anomaly 6: 200m stri ke length withup to 37 ppb Au associated with a magnetic high.
As well, numerous localized gold in soil anomalies exist (up to 78 ppb Au). All gold in soil values exceeding 20 ppb Au are considered of interest for detailed follow-up evaluation.
There is minimal outcrop exposed throughout the Carneirinho Property. Rock samples collected during Phase 1 contain up to 0.2 g/t Au and previous rock samples collected by APEX Geoscience Ltd. contain up to 12.1 g/t Au. Historical reported results from the various Garimpeiro workings include: 10.83 g/t gold over 7.0 metres at the Joao Pinto pit and 12.68 g/t gold over 26.0 metres at the Antonio de Luca pit.
Samples were analyzed at Lakefield Geosol Laboratories (Lakefield), Belo Horizonte. The samples were analyzed for gold and multi-element geochemistry. Lakefield is ISO9001, version 2000 certified.
Lund and Oromin are planning a detailed follow-up program to better delineate the newly discovered gold targets and pick specific drill targets for the property during spring 2007.
‘The reconnaissance results reiterate why we’re excited about the potential of the Carneirinho Property and the Tapajos Region. Our follow-up exploration program will help us better understand the nature and context of the new high priority targets and hopefully lead to a major gold discovery’ states Mr. Idziszek.
Lund and Oromin hold an option to jointly acquire a 100% interest in the Carneirinho Property. The 2006 exploration was completed under the direction of Mr. Dean Besserer, P.Geol., APEX Geoscience Ltd., of Edmonton, Alberta, who is a qualified person as defined in National Instrument 43-101.

NEW DISCOVERIES
MAKI MEDINA
Of the more than thirty other new exploration discoveries identified by Oromin at Sabodala, one in particular has recently been upgraded substantially. A NE-SW trending gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly extending for approximately 1,500 metres represents this target zone, Maki Medina. Maki Medina is located approximately 3 kilometres to the southwest of MDL’s Niakafiri Gold Deposit. A series of excavator trenches spaced along and across the central section of the anomalous trend has identified favourable geology, alteration and mineralization over a minimum strike length of 900 metres. Trenching results from Maki Medina include: 3.30 g/t gold over 6.0 metres (TRX-99), 2.74 g/t gold over 6.0 metres (TRX-100), 2.47 g/t over 5.0 metres (TRX-101), 1.11 g/t gold over 4.0 metres (TRX-103), 2.00 g/t gold over 23.0 metres (TRX-107), 1.56 g/t gold over 3.0 metres (TRX-109) and 1.15 g/t gold over 5.0 me tres (TRX-131).
Oromin has also completed the first ever drill hole at Maki Medina (DH-69) with visually encouraging geology, alteration and mineralization in two distinct zones measuring 20 metres and 22 metres in length. Considerable exploration, including both core and RC drilling is planned for early 2007 at Maki Medina.
GOLOUMA NORTHWEST
Another of Oromin’s exploration discoveries, located approximately 350 metres to the north of Golouma West, Golouma Northwest, was recently trenched with favourable results of: 5.08 g/t gold over 9 metres (TRX-111), 2.22 g/t gold over 16 metres and 5.72 g/t gold over 12 metres (TRX-112), 3.50 g/t gold over 4 metres (TRX-113) and 2.25 g/t gold over 4 metres (TRX-125). Additional trenching and 3 core holes (DH-62, 65 and 66) have been completed at Golouma Northwest with further exploration activity planned in 2007.
GOLOUMA NORTHEAST
Oromin has completed 2 core holes (DH-67, 68) and started a third (DH-70) at Golouma Northeast which is located approximately 500 metres to the Northeast of the Golouma South Zone. Golouma Northeast is an area of extensive and deep artisanal pits and excavations from which Oromin has previously reported rock sample results of up to 27.54 g/t gold. Both of Oromin’s completed holes have intersected favourable alteration and veining including the presence of visible gold. The third hole will be completed following the current Christmas break.
OTHER RECENT EXPLORATION
Oromin has initiated considerable infill soil geochemical sampling at various target zones throughout the Sabodala Property, initiated trenching at Sabodala North and the north extent of Masato and undertaken detailed induced polarisation geophysical surveying at Sekoto, Maki Medina, Golouma West and Niakafiri.
Oromin will continue with and expand on their aggressive multi-faceted exploration program in 2007.
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.
A complete listing of all available 2006 drill and trench results, along with a location map, will be posted on the Oromin website.
