Oromin Explorations Ltd. (“Oromin”) is pleased to announce additional results from the ongoing step-out and in-fill drilling program at the Golouma West, Golouma South and Masato Gold Deposits.
Oromin’s 2007 and 2008 advanced exploration programs are focused on resource delineation of its Sabodala Gold Project’s numerous gold zones and gold deposits. More than 75,000 metres of drilling is planned in advance of the Project’s initial resource estimate scheduled for April 2008. Results from the ongoing property-wide exploration program continue to support Oromin’s model of multiple gold deposits within the Sabodala Project. Please refer to general maps displayed under “investor info/articles and reports” on Oromin’s website and Oromin’s previous news releases for additional project information.
GOLOUMA WEST GOLD DEPOSIT
The Golouma West Gold Deposit has now been traced over 1,500 metres on surface, to over 300 metres at depth and remains open in all directions. Oromin is drilling this deposit on 40-metre, and locally, 20-metre centres using both reverse circulation and diamond core rigs.
- 2 -
Newly drilled mineralized intersections are listed in the attached schedule; some of the most significant are:
- 12 metres of 8.74 g/t gold from 49 metres in DH-132
- 6 metres of 10.08 g/t gold from 37 metres in DH-145
- 8 metres of 3.54 g/t gold from 57 metres in DH-147
- 16 metres of 2.11 g/t/gold from 301 metres in DH-149
- 13 metres of 6.07 g/t gold from 82 metres in DH-152
- 10 metres of 6.91 g/t gold from 128 metres in DH-154
- 5 metres of 45.03 g/t gold from 17 metres, 10 metres of 11.29 g/t gold from 142 metres and 7 metres of 7.77 g/t gold from 165 metres in DH-156
- 7 metres of 25.58 g/t gold from 138 metres in DH-157
- 7metres of 13.41 g/t gold from 31 metres in DH-161
- 7 metres of 6.51 g/t gold from 71 metres in DH-163
- 17 metres of 3.36 g/t gold from 166 metres in DH-165
- 18 metres of 4.80 g/t gold from 238 metres in DH-168
GOLOUMA SOUTH GOLD DEPOSIT
The Golouma South Gold Deposit has now been traced over 1,000 metres on surface, to 220 metres depth and remains open in all directions. Oromin is drilling this deposit on 40-metre, and locally, 20-metre centres using both reverse circulation and diamond core rigs.
Newly drilled mineralized intersections are listed on the attached schedule; some of the most significant are:
- 7 metres of 7.12 g/t gold from 44 metres in DH-138
- 10 metres of 3.70 g/t gold from 15 metres in DH-140
- 8 metres of 9.08 g/t gold from 192 metres and 19 metres of 5.08 g/t gold from 229 metres in DH-150
MASATO GOLD DEPOSIT
The Masato Gold Deposit is coincident with a strong gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly 2.6 kilometres in length by up to 1.2 kilometres in width. Oromin’s Masato Gold Deposit is located 1.2 kilometres due east of the 1.9 million ounce Sabodala Gold Deposit that is being readied for production by Mineral Deposits Ltd. (see Mineral Deposits Ltd. August 16, 2007 news release).
The Masato geochemical anomaly is also coincident with three extensive NE-trending, linear IP changeability anomalies of which only the westernmost has been drilled to date. Oromin has recently initiated in-fill drilling at 40-metre centres over portions of this large mineralized zone using both reverse circulation and diamond core rigs.

Newly drilled mineralized intersections are listed in the attached schedule; some of the most significant are:
- 5 metres of 3.22 g/t gold from 58 metres, 1 metre of 3,945.50 g/t gold from 63 metres (visible gold observed) and 14 metres of 3.56 g/t gold from 64 metres in DH-131
- 7 metres of 3.95 g/t gold from 53 metres in DH-135
- 4 metres of 3.57 g/t gold from 73 metres in DH-141
Oromin’s 2007 field program has concluded for the Christmas break with field activities scheduled to re-start in early January, 2008. An additional fifteen core holes and forty reverse circulation holes were completed in 2007 for which assays are pending.
Fieldwork was carried out under the supervision of Gerald McArthur, P. Geo., 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.
