GOLOUMA WEST GOLD DEPOSIT EXPANDING FURTHER WEST AND MERGING WITH GOLOUMA NORTHWEST CONFIRMED
HIGHLIGHTS
- AT GOLOUMA WEST STEPOUT DRILLING INTERSECTS SIGNIFICANTMINERALIZATION INCLUDING:
- 10 metres of 4.51 g/t gold in RC-115
- 7 metres of 25.19 g/t gold in RC-116
- 15 metres of 5.59 g/t gold in RC-117
- AND CONFIRMS MERGING WITH GOLOUMA NORTHWEST WHICH PREVIOUSLY RETURNED:
- 8 metres of 4.58 g/t gold in DH-117
- 11 metres of 6.04 g/t gold in DH-118
- 11metres of 3.50 g/t gold in DH-119
- WHILE TRENCHING 225-METRES FURTHER WEST DISCOVERS 5.98 G/T GOLD OVER 5 METRES
- AT THE SEKOTO DISCOVERY LATEST TRENCHING RESULTS UPGRADE THISTARGET TO DRILL READY
Oromin Explorations Ltd.(“Oromin”), (TSX-V:OLE; OTC/BB-OLEPF)is pleased to provide additional results from the westernmost stepout drilling at the Golouma West Gold Deposit and additional trench results from the Sekoto Discovery.
GOLOUMA WEST GOLD DEPOSIT
The style and orientation of mineralization within this area now confirms the interpretation that the Golouma West Gold Deposit and the previously identified Golouma Northwest target merge into one deposit, developing considerable expansion potential. The new stepout drilling results compare favourably to previously announced reverse circulation (RC-114, 32 metres at 6.43 g/t gold) and core holes (DH-117, 118 and 119) from this portion of the Golouma West Gold Deposit. Additional drilling on Sections further to the west, for which results are pending, has also encountered Golouma West style mineralization. Please refer to the attached schedule for a complete listing of the newly drilled mineralized intersections.

In addition to these new Golouma West stepout drilling results, recent excavator trench TRX-194, located approximately 225 metres further west, has discovered mineralization grading 5.98 g/t gold over 5 metres (including 24.52 g/t gold over 1 metre). As a result, the Golouma West Gold Deposit is now projected in a NW-SE direction for a minimum of approximately 1,200 metres.
SEKOTO TARGET
The Sekoto target, a circular-shaped gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly measuring approximately one kilometre by one kilometre, has been upgraded to drill-ready based on recent geological mapping, structural interpretation and excavator trenching results. The most favourable trench results include previously announced TRX-154 (5.95 g/t gold over 6 metres) and recent results of 3.78 g/t gold over 12 metres in TRX-196 (including two separate one-metre samples of 11.45 g/t gold and 18.96 g/t gold). Drilling is planned for Sekoto in the near future.
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 under industry-standard QA/QC procedures.
