PFS RESULTS, CONCLUSION AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Oromin Explorations Ltd. (“Oromin”), on behalf of the Oromin Joint Venture Group (“OJVG”), is pleased to announce that SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. (“SRK”) has completed the initial Preliminary Feasibility Study (“PFS”) on the Sabodala Project.  The PFS is based on Indicated Resources that were defined by drilling up to May 29, 2009 and does not incorporate the new higher grade gold discoveries that have resulted from subsequent drilling.  Completion of the PFS was dictated by the timing of the OJVG’s license renewal obligations with the Government of Sénégal.  Accordingly, timing did not permit inclusion of new mineralization or most of the optimization studies, discussed below, that are typically carried out subsequent to the initial economic evaluation contained within the PFS.  Resource drilling, inclusion of the new higher grade discove ries and higher grade extensions of the known deposits and optimization studies towards a revised PFS in Q2, 2010 is the focus of OJVG's current program.

Page 2 of 8

In the PFS, SRK proposes that Sabodala’s mineral deposits could be exploited as three open pits at Golouma West and South, Kerekounda and Masato, along with an underground mine at Kerekounda.  The Life of Mine “LOM” plan shows a total of 19.0 million tonnes (“Mt”) of mill feed and 137.2 Mt of waste over a 13 year mine operating life.  The PFS concludes that, based on the indicated resource base as of May 2009, the project has a Net Present Value (“NPV”) using a gold price of USD$950 and a 0% discount rate, of USD$54 million with an IRR of 4%.  However, the base case using a gold price of USD$850, the price used for the design of the mine plan, shows a NPV of USD-$54 million using a 0% discount rate. Total initial preproduction capital expenditures including  contingency is USD$279 million and average estimated operating cost is USD$580 per ounce of gold.

In the PFS, numerous opportunities for improvement of project economics were noted including:

-

Addition of higher grade mineralization to obtain quicker payback

-

Reduction in costs due to a modified approach to mining and processing methodology, design and construction

-

Addition of Indicated Resources from areas of known deposits that could add mine life and modify plant throughput.

The preliminary metallurgical results are excellent, indicating that all mineralized zones are amenable to cyanidation and yielding recoveries up to 90% at Golouma and 95% and 96% at Masato and Kerekounda respectively.  Some of the other favourable metallurgical characteristics include relatively rapid leach kinetics, low cyanide consumption and oxide ores that are amenable to heap leaching.

Ausenco Minerals Canada Ltd. (“Ausenco”) has recently been engaged to audit the capital expenditures, operating expenditures and process design aspects of the PFS.  Ausenco was responsible for the design and implementation of the adjacent Mineral Deposit Limited’s (“MDL”) Sabodala mill which has, as of August, produced 96,000 ounces of gold since start up in March of 2009 and continues to run at 13% above capacity.   Ausenco completed an initial review in which it has identified a number or areas that may be optimized which could potentially result in a significant reduction in the capital expenditures.  Based on Ausenco’s recommendations, SRK and Ausenco are proceeding immediately with the further studies related to the optimization of the mine and processing design that will have the greatest impact on improving overall project economics, including:

-

Reduction in plant footprint

-

Use of heap leach to treat mineralization at Masato, operating concurrently with mining at the Golouma and Kerekounda deposits

-

Optimization of plant throughput and associated mine design and schedule

-

Rationalization of plant equipment

-

Review of processing design criteria

Although excellent recoveries (up to 95%) were achieved by processing the Masato ore through the same CIL plant proposed to treat ore from all of the deposits, there may be some economic gains such as lower processing costs and increased gold production during the early years of the mine life by treating the Masato ore as a separate heap leach operation concurrent with mining and processing ore from the higher grade gold deposits.

Chet Idziszek, Oromin’s President and CEO stated: “The results of the initial preliminary feasibility study are based on assumptions at one point in time and are interim in nature.  We expect the 2010 revision of the initial study to improve the project economics as a result of capital cost reductions, altered mining scenarios identified by optimization studies and the inclusion of other and new higher grade deposits and higher grade underground potential at existing deposits.  The initial study is a major milestone for this project, given that Sabodala was essentially a raw prospect when we commenced our drilling three years ago.   Newly discovered resource ounces may positively impact the optimization of the currently proposed mine plan and treatment facility and enhance the net value of the Sabodala Project.  We will continue our aggressive drill program beyond the end of 2009, the results from which will form the basis of the revised PFS in 2010.  We are also very encouraged by the interest shown in our project by senior mining companies working in the area and by international investment banks such as CIBC World Markets and Euroz Securities Limited.  An indication of this interest is clearly shown by Iamgold’s recent acquisition of a 17% shareholding in Oromin.”

As part of its application to the Government of Sénégal for a mining licence, OJVG submitted a development plan that outlines the work to address the recommendations in the PFS, culminating in the preparation of a revised PFS in Q2, 2010.

The focus during the first half of 2009 included the completion of OJVG’s February 27, 2009 resource update which added 860,000 inferred ounces to the initial resource estimate bringing the total contained Inferred Resource to 2.26 million ounces of gold; infill and step out drilling at the Masato and Kerekounda deposits; considerable engineering and drilling directed by SRK for the PFS; detailed surface geochemical and trench evaluation of untested priority targets and initiation of follow-up drilling of new discoveries and resource updates as reported in this release.

The focus from now to Q2, 2010 will be resource expansion and the completion of optimization studies for the revised PFS.   This includes the continued drilling and inclusion of new higher grade gold targets such as Epsilon, Golouma Northwest, Cloverleaf, and Kobokoto and the drilling and inclusion of higher grade down dip extensions of current Indicated Resources at the Kerekounda, Golouma West and South deposits to determine the full extent of this mineralization as new potential underground mineable reserves.

The Sabodala gold district hosts greater than 10 million ounces of resources and has significant potential for expansion.  It is becoming a mineral camp that may be of equal or greater stature than the long term gold producing operations of Iamgold and Randgold nearby in Mali.  Recent independent reviews of the Sabodala district by CIBC World Markets (July 20, 2009) and Euroz Securities Limited (August 27, 2009) have discussed the possibility of joint operations with other companies active in the area. SRK’s optimization studies will include, in addition to work focused on Sabodala as a stand alone operation, trade off studies to determine the viability and value of alternate development scenarios such as toll milling or joint operations.

UPDATED MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE

The global mineral inventory for OJVG”s Sabodala Project stands at 64 million tonnes grading 1.5 g/t Au containing 2.96 million ounces of gold based on drill data collected as of May 29, 2009.  Contained within this global inventory, are the following classified Indicated and Inferred mineral resource estimates:

SRK Consulting (UK) Ltd. carried out a mineral resource estimate update (“Resource Estimate”) for the four most advanced stage deposits on the property, Golouma West, Golouma South, Kerekounda and Masato.  Additionally, initial resource estimates for Maki Medina and Niakafiri SE were also derived, but not included in the economic analysis in the PFS as they are classified as inferred resources.  Dr Wayne Barnett of SRK, Ali Shahkar (P.Geo) and Susan Lomas (P.Geo.) of Lion’s Gate Geological Consulting Inc. constructed all 3D grade shell models for the deposits. SRK’s Dr. John Arthur, C. Geol. and Dr. Chris Bonson, EurGeol, reviewed all 3D models and pertinent geological information and exploration activities on-site in sufficient detail to support the data incorporated in the mineral resource estimate. Quality control and quality assurance programs were reviewed by SRK and the quality of the exploration data wa s deemed appropriate and acceptable for use in the Resource Estimate.

The principal components of the work upon which the mineral resource estimate is based included:

• Construction of 3D estimation domains (grade shells) based on drill hole lithological logs, core photos,  structural geological data and Au assays; and 3D modelling of major dykes which intrude the Golouma West and Kerekounda deposits.

• Statistical analysis and geostatistical analysis of the drillhole assay data from each of the deposits, including descriptive statistics, histograms and variography.

• Mineral resource estimates were derived using assay data composited to 1 m intervals, capped where necessary. All estimations used Ordinary Kriging, using optimised search ellipsoids.

• Construction of a mineral inventory block model and subsequent Whittle™ resource shell based on the following parameters:

− US$1000/oz Au;

− mill recovery of 96% at Kerekounda; 90% at Golouma South and West; and 95% at Masato;

− US$1.25/t mined mining cost;

− US$12.75/t milled processing and G&A cost;

− US$13.5/oz Au offsite costs;

− 10% mining dilution;

− 45° pit slope angles.

The resource for the Golouma West, Golouma South, Masato and Kerekounda deposits has been classified as Indicated and Inferred, as defined by CIM guidelines and were constrained by the Whittle resource shell optimization. The Niakafiri Southeast and Maki Medina mineral resources were constrained by depths based on comparisons with resource shell depths from the Masato deposit, which shows similar geological and grade characteristics. SRK is satisfied that the estimated resources are potentially economically extractable.

Based on the results from the metallurgical sampling program, the Masato deposit has almost entirely been classified as an oxide resource, including mineralization within the upper saprolite horizon.  Preliminary column leach testing of a high grade and low grade sample of the Masato oxide ore material resulted in a gold extraction of 73% and 84% respectively.  This is very encouraging as it presents an opportunity whereby the Masato deposit may be mined as a separate heap leach operation concurrent with the mining and processing of ore from the higher grade deposits that will be processed through the proposed conventional CIL plant.

In the PFS, Masato is shown as being mined near the end of the mine life and processed through the same mill and CIL plant that was designed to process ore from the higher grade deposits.  Treating ore from the Masato orebody as a stand alone heap leach operation could conceivably occur at the same time as, or in advance of, ore  being mined from the higher grade deposits, increasing the gold production during the early years of the mine life, possibly reducing the payback period.  Additionally, treating Masato as a heap leach operation may represent a net cost savings on the capital expenditures associated with trade off of constructing a second crushing circuit and reducing the throughput of the CIL plant that would be required to treat a smaller number of tonnes of higher grade gold ore from the remaining deposits.  Additionally, lower processing costs associated with a heap leach operation m ay result in an increase in bulk tonnage resources due to the inclusion of additional resources at a lower cut off grade, not only at Masato and but also potentially at Maki Medina and Niakafiri.  The option of mining and treating the Masato ore as a separate heap leach operation concurrent with the development of the higher grade deposits was not considered until the economics of processing all of the OJVG’s deposits through a single CIL plant was completed and evaluated and presented in the current PFS.  As mentioned earlier timing of the current PFS did not permit key optimization studies.  However, the viability of these options will be determined through planned engineering and optimization studies conducted by SRK and Ausenco this fall.

NEW DISCOVERIES

The gold deposits and prospects on OJVG’s Sabodala concession occur within a five kilometre wide, northeast trending structural corridor which runs for 20 kilometres along the entire length of the concession.  The western part of the corridor is associated with lower grade, bulk tonnage gold deposits including OJVG’s Masato, Niakafiri South East and Maki Medina deposits as well as MDL’s adjacent Sabodala and Niakafiri deposits.  The eastern side of the corridor is entirely contained on the OJVG concession and is host to all of OJVG’s higher grade occurrences  (Golouma West, Golouma South, Kerekounda), the recent higher grade discoveries (Epsilon, Golouma Northwest and Cloverleaf), as well as a number of untested targets.

The new higher grade discoveries have resulted from the OJVG’s attention to the eastern, higher grade portion of this structural corridor in 2009.   These discoveries are expressed at surface as narrow, linear high grade gold-in-soil anomalies within the limits of the broader gold-in-soil anomalies that occur along the full extent of the structural corridor on the Sabodala concession.  OJVG’s exploration success this year has resulted from the systematic, detailed evaluation of surface soil and trenching data collected to date.  Although our work in 2009 has resulted in the identification of four new higher grade targets and definition of higher grade zones within our known deposits, this work is ongoing and many of the second and third tier anomalies remain untested by drilling.

Mr. Idziszek stated: “Despite directing a number of diamond drill rigs to the geotechnical drilling program required for SRK’s mining studies during the first half of 2009, we have made great progress in understanding what is controlling the orientation and distribution of higher grade mineralization on the property.  This has been a key factor in our continually improving success rate in drill testing new targets and finding new higher grade deposits.”

Epsilon Deposit and Area Targets

Drilling continues at a newly discovered, discrete zone of higher grade gold mineralization, now referred to as the Epsilon deposit, adjacent to, and now including the Golouma Northeast zone.  Epsilon is located approximately 1 km south of the Kerekounda deposit. The discovery holes at the Epsilon deposit returned results including: 98.37 g/t gold over 3 metres in DH-72 and 17.61 g/t gold over 8 metres in DH-73.

The Epsilon target consists of at least two parallel, NW trending, steeply dipping vein systems open along strike and to depth. As evidenced by the higher gold grades encountered in the previous and new drill holes summarized below, visible gold has been observed in most intersections of the quartz vein systems. To date, Epsilon has been intersected in 16 drill holes over a strike length of 100 metres and approximately 200 metres down dip.  Drill results from the original discovery holes (RC-578, RC-579 and DH-456) and recent drilling are summarized in the following table:

Drill Hole	Grid Co-ordinate	Azimuth/Dip		From (m)	To (m)	Interval (m)	Gold (g/t)

An additional target of interest at Epsilon is a sub-parallel, shear hosted quartz vein system, with visible gold mineralization, being aggressively mined by local artisanal miners along an approximate 200 metre strike extent. This vein system lies approximately 100 metres north of the current area of drilling and was first discovered recently by an OJVG trench that intersected a six metre interval grading 6.72 g/t gold.  Drilling has started on this high priority new discovery.

Kobokoto

The Kobokoto area comprises a grouping of multiple gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies expressed as windows within a vast lateritic covered plateau measuring a minimum of 2,500 metres by 3,000 metres located to the west of Maki Medina.  Presently three discrete areas, Alpha, Beta and Gamma, have been selected for ongoing detailed prospecting, geochemical sampling, trenching and drilling evaluations.  Results to date are set out below.

Kobokoto Alpha is presently defined by a >100ppb gold-in-soil anomaly displaying both NW and NE trending structures over a 600-metre by 150-metre area.  This target represents one of the highest grade gold-in-soil anomalies on the Sabodala Property with 15 individual samples in excess of 1.0 g/t gold including high values of 10.8 g/t, 12.1 g/t and 29.3 g/t gold.  Initial drilling of the anomaly includes DH-108 which returned an interval of 10.13 g/t gold over 3 metres.  Extensive trenching is now under way to better define the complex structural targets for drill targeting.  Visual success within the trenching has caught the attention of local artisanal miners who are now actively mining at Kobokoto Alpha.

At Kobokoto Beta, a >100ppb gold-in-soil anomaly comprising an area of 400 metres by 100 metres, including a high gold-in-soil result of 71.7 g/t gold, hosts at least two NE trending structural hosted quartz vein system containing rock prospecting gold results of 21.33 g/t, 22.00 g/t, 24.16 g/t and 36.73g/t.  Most recently a series of short drill holes over only a 50-metre extent of the Kobokoto Beta zone were completed, many of which intersected felsic dyking at or adjacent to the targeted vein.  Initial drilling results include:

At Kobokoto Gamma, a >100ppb gold-in-soil anomaly covering a minimum area of 200 metres by 75 metres, including a high gold-in-soil result of 26.3 g/t gold, is associated with a NE trending structural zone.  Additional work is planned.

Cloverleaf Target

The Cloverleaf  target is located approximately one kilometre south of the Golouma West deposit.  The target was defined on surface by a 1000 by 350 metre gold-in-soil anomaly hosting multiple, variably oriented shear hosted quartz vein systems.  Recent drilling on two of these shears has intersected visible gold. Initial drilling results include:

Drill Hole	Grid Co-ordinate	Azimuth/Dip		From (m)	To (m)	Interval (m)	Gold (g/t)

Golouma Northwest Target

The Golouma Northwest target is located approximately 450 metres north of the Golouma West Deposit.  The target was defined on surface by a 250 by 260 metre gold-in-soil anomaly and has been intersected in seven drill holes along a strike length of 100 metres and approximately 100 metres down dip.  The zone consists of a northwest trending shear hosted quartz vein system.  Visible gold has been reported in two of the five core holes completed to date.  Initial drilling results include:

PFS RESULTS, CONCLUSION AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Oromin Explorations Ltd. (“Oromin”), on behalf of the Oromin Joint Venture Group (“OJVG”), is pleased to announce that SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. (“SRK”) has completed the initial Preliminary Feasibility Study (“PFS”) on the Sabodala Project.  The PFS is based on Indicated Resources that were defined by drilling up to May 29, 2009 and does not incorporate the new higher grade gold discoveries that have resulted from subsequent drilling.  Completion of the PFS was dictated by the timing of the OJVG’s license renewal obligations with the Government of Sénégal.  Accordingly, timing did not permit inclusion of new mineralization or most of the optimization studies, discussed below, that are typically carried out subsequent to the initial economic evaluation contained within the PFS.  Resource drilling, inclusion of the new higher grade discove ries and higher grade extensions of the known deposits and optimization studies towards a revised PFS in Q2, 2010 is the focus of OJVG's current program.

- 4 -

In the PFS, SRK proposes that Sabodala’s mineral deposits could be exploited as three open pits at Golouma West and South, Kerekounda and Masato, along with an underground mine at Kerekounda.  The Life of Mine “LOM” plan shows a total of 19.0 million tonnes (“Mt”) of mill feed and 137.2 Mt of waste over a 13 year mine operating life.  The PFS concludes that, based on the indicated resource base as of May 2009, the project has a Net Present Value (“NPV”) using a gold price of USD$950 and a 0% discount rate, of USD$54 million with an IRR of 4%.  However, the base case using a gold price of USD$850, the price used for the design of the mine plan, shows a NPV of USD-$54 million using a 0% discount rate. Total initial preproduction capital expenditures including  contingency is USD$279 million and average estimated operating cost is USD$580 per ounce of gold.

In the PFS, numerous opportunities for improvement of project economics were noted including:

-

Addition of higher grade mineralization to obtain quicker payback

-

Reduction in costs due to a modified approach to mining and processing methodology, design and construction

-

Addition of Indicated Resources from areas of known deposits that could add mine life and modify plant throughput.

The preliminary metallurgical results are excellent, indicating that all mineralized zones are amenable to cyanidation and yielding recoveries up to 90% at Golouma and 95% and 96% at Masato and Kerekounda respectively.  Some of the other favourable metallurgical characteristics include relatively rapid leach kinetics, low cyanide consumption and oxide ores that are amenable to heap leaching.

Ausenco Minerals Canada Ltd. (“Ausenco”) has recently been engaged to audit the capital expenditures, operating expenditures and process design aspects of the PFS.  Ausenco was responsible for the design and implementation of the adjacent Mineral Deposit Limited’s (“MDL”) Sabodala mill which has, as of August, produced 96,000 ounces of gold since start up in March of 2009 and continues to run at 15% above capacity.   Ausenco completed an initial review in which it has identified a number or areas that may be optimized which could potentially result in a significant reduction in the capital expenditures.  Based on Ausenco’s recommendations, SRK and Ausenco are proceeding immediately with the further studies related to the optimization of the mine and processing design that will have the greatest impact on improving overall project economics, including:

-

Reduction in plant footprint

-

Use of heap leach to treat mineralization at Masato, operating concurrently with mining at the Golouma and Kerekounda deposits

-

Optimization of plant throughput and associated mine design and schedule

-

Rationalization of plant equipment

-

Review of processing design criteria

Although excellent recoveries (up to 95%) were achieved by processing the Masato ore through the same CIL plant proposed to treat ore from all of the deposits, there may be some economic gains such as lower processing costs and increased gold production during the early years of the mine life by treating the Masato ore as a separate heap leach operation concurrent with mining and processing ore from the higher grade gold deposits.

Chet Idziszek, Oromin’s President and CEO stated: “The results of the initial preliminary feasibility study are based on assumptions at one point in time and are interim in nature.  We expect the 2010 revision of the initial study to improve the project economics as a result of capital cost reductions, altered mining scenarios identified by optimization studies and the inclusion of other and new higher grade deposits and higher grade underground potential at existing deposits.  The initial study is a major milestone for this project, given that Sabodala was essentially a raw prospect when we commenced our drilling three years ago.   Newly discovered resource ounces may positively impact the optimization of the currently proposed mine plan and treatment facility and enhance the net value of the Sabodala Project.  We will continue our aggressive drill program beyond the end of 2009, the results from which will form the basis of the revised PFS in 2010.  We are also very encouraged by the interest shown in our project by senior mining companies working in the area and by international investment banks such as CIBC World Markets and Euroz Securities Limited.  An indication of this interest is clearly shown by Iamgold’s recent acquisition of a 17% shareholding in Oromin.”

As part of its application to the Government of Sénégal for a mining licence, OJVG submitted a development plan that outlines the work to address the recommendations in the PFS, culminating in the preparation of a revised PFS in Q2, 2010.

The focus during the first half of 2009 included the completion of OJVG’s February 27, 2009 resource update which added 860,000 inferred ounces to the initial resource estimate bringing the total contained Inferred Resource to 2.26 million ounces of gold; infill and step out drilling at the Masato and Kerekounda deposits; considerable engineering and drilling directed by SRK for the PFS; detailed surface geochemical and trench evaluation of untested priority targets and initiation of follow-up drilling of new discoveries and resource updates as reported in this release.

The focus from now to Q2, 2010 will be resource expansion and the completion of optimization studies for the revised PFS.   This includes the continued drilling and inclusion of new higher grade gold targets such as Epsilon, Golouma Northwest, Cloverleaf, and Kobokoto and the drilling and inclusion of higher grade down dip extensions of current Indicated Resources at the Kerekounda, Golouma West and South deposits to determine the full extent of this mineralization as new potential underground mineable reserves.

The Sabodala gold district hosts greater than 10 million ounces of resources and has significant potential for expansion.  It is becoming a mineral camp that may be of equal or greater stature than the long term gold producing operations of Iamgold and Randgold nearby in Mali.  Recent independent reviews of the Sabodala district by CIBC World Markets (July 20, 2009) and Euroz Securities Limited (August 27, 2009) have discussed the possibility of joint operations with other companies active in the area. SRK’s optimization studies will include, in addition to work focused on Sabodala as a stand alone operation, trade off studies to determine the viability and value of alternate development scenarios such as toll milling or joint operations.

UPDATED MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE

The global mineral inventory for OJVG”s Sabodala Project stands at 64 million tonnes grading 1.5 g/t Au containing 2.96 million ounces of gold based on drill data collected as of May 29, 2009.  Contained within this global inventory, are the following classified Indicated and Inferred mineral resource estimates:

SRK Consulting (UK) Ltd. carried out a mineral resource estimate update (“Resource Estimate”) for the four most advanced stage deposits on the property, Golouma West, Golouma South, Kerekounda and Masato.  Additionally, initial resource estimates for Maki Medina and Niakafiri SE were also derived, but not included in the economic analysis in the PFS as they are classified as inferred resources.  Dr Wayne Barnett of SRK, Ali Shahkar (P.Geo) and Susan Lomas (P.Geo.) of Lion’s Gate Geological Consulting Inc. constructed all 3D grade shell models for the deposits. SRK’s Dr. John Arthur, C. Geol. and Dr. Chris Bonson, EurGeol, reviewed all 3D models and pertinent geological information and exploration activities on-site in sufficient detail to support the data incorporated in the mineral resource estimate. Quality control and quality assurance programs were reviewed by SRK and the quality of the exploration data wa s deemed appropriate and acceptable for use in the Resource Estimate.

The principal components of the work upon which the mineral resource estimate is based included:

• Construction of 3D estimation domains (grade shells) based on drill hole lithological logs, core photos,  structural geological data and Au assays; and 3D modelling of major dykes which intrude the Golouma West and Kerekounda deposits.

• Statistical analysis and geostatistical analysis of the drillhole assay data from each of the deposits, including descriptive statistics, histograms and variography.

• Mineral resource estimates were derived using assay data composited to 1 m intervals, capped where necessary. All estimations used Ordinary Kriging, using optimised search ellipsoids.

• Construction of a mineral inventory block model and subsequent Whittle™ resource shell based on the following parameters:

− US$1000/oz Au;

− mill recovery of 96% at Kerekounda; 90% at Golouma South and West; and 95% at Masato;

− US$1.25/t mined mining cost;

− US$12.75/t milled processing and G&A cost;

− US$13.5/oz Au offsite costs;

− 10% mining dilution;

− 45° pit slope angles.

The resource for the Golouma West, Golouma South, Masato and Kerekounda deposits has been classified as Indicated and Inferred, as defined by CIM guidelines and were constrained by the Whittle resource shell optimization. The Niakafiri Southeast and Maki Medina mineral resources were constrained by depths based on comparisons with resource shell depths from the Masato deposit, which shows similar geological and grade characteristics. SRK is satisfied that the estimated resources are potentially economically extractable.

Based on the results from the metallurgical sampling program, the Masato deposit has almost entirely been classified as an oxide resource, including mineralization within the upper saprolite horizon.  Preliminary column leach testing of a high grade and low grade sample of the Masato oxide ore material resulted in a gold extraction of 73% and 84% respectively.  This is very encouraging as it presents an opportunity whereby the Masato deposit may be mined as a separate heap leach operation concurrent with the mining and processing of ore from the higher grade deposits that will be processed through the proposed conventional CIL plant.

In the PFS, Masato is shown as being mined near the end of the mine life and processed through the same mill and CIL plant that was designed to process ore from the higher grade deposits.  Treating ore from the Masato orebody as a stand alone heap leach operation could conceivably occur at the same time as, or in advance of, ore  being mined from the higher grade deposits, increasing the gold production during the early years of the mine life, possibly reducing the payback period.  Additionally, treating Masato as a heap leach operation may represent a net cost savings on the capital expenditures associated with trade off of constructing a second crushing circuit and reducing the throughput of the CIL plant that would be required to treat a smaller number of tonnes of higher grade gold ore from the remaining deposits.  Additionally, lower processing costs associated with a heap leach operation m ay result in an increase in bulk tonnage resources due to the inclusion of additional resources at a lower cut off grade, not only at Masato and but also potentially at Maki Medina and Niakafiri.  The option of mining and treating the Masato ore as a separate heap leach operation concurrent with the development of the higher grade deposits was not considered until the economics of processing all of the OJVG’s deposits through a single CIL plant was completed and evaluated and presented in the current PFS.  As mentioned earlier timing of the current PFS did not permit key optimization studies.  However, the viability of these options will be determined through planned engineering and optimization studies conducted by SRK and Ausenco this fall.

NEW DISCOVERIES

The gold deposits and prospects on OJVG’s Sabodala concession occur within a five kilometre wide, northeast trending structural corridor which runs for 20 kilometres along the entire length of the concession.  The western part of the corridor is associated with lower grade, bulk tonnage gold deposits including OJVG’s Masato, Niakafiri South East and Maki Medina deposits as well as MDL’s adjacent Sabodala and Niakafiri deposits.  The eastern side of the corridor is entirely contained on the OJVG concession and is host to all of OJVG’s higher grade occurrences  (Golouma West, Golouma South, Kerekounda), the recent higher grade discoveries (Epsilon, Golouma Northwest and Cloverleaf), as well as a number of untested targets.

The new higher grade discoveries have resulted from the OJVG’s attention to the eastern, higher grade portion of this structural corridor in 2009.   These discoveries are expressed at surface as narrow, linear high grade gold-in-soil anomalies within the limits of the broader gold-in-soil anomalies that occur along the full extent of the structural corridor on the Sabodala concession.  OJVG’s exploration success this year has resulted from the systematic, detailed evaluation of surface soil and trenching data collected to date.  Although our work in 2009 has resulted in the identification of four new higher grade targets and definition of higher grade zones within our known deposits, this work is ongoing and many of the second and third tier anomalies remain untested by drilling.

Mr. Idziszek stated: “Despite directing a number of diamond drill rigs to the geotechnical drilling program required for SRK’s mining studies during the first half of 2009, we have made great progress in understanding what is controlling the orientation and distribution of higher grade mineralization on the property.  This has been a key factor in our continually improving success rate in drill testing new targets and finding new higher grade deposits.”

Epsilon Deposit and Area Targets

Drilling continues at a newly discovered, discrete zone of higher grade gold mineralization, now referred to as the Epsilon deposit, adjacent to, and now including the Golouma Northeast zone.  Epsilon is located approximately 1 km south of the Kerekounda deposit. The discovery holes at the Epsilon deposit returned results including: 98.37 g/t gold over 3 metres in DH-72 and 17.61 g/t gold over 8 metres in DH-73.

The Epsilon target consists of at least two parallel, NW trending, steeply dipping vein systems open along strike and to depth. As evidenced by the higher gold grades encountered in the previous and new drill holes summarized below, visible gold has been observed in most intersections of the quartz vein systems. To date, Epsilon has been intersected in 16 drill holes over a strike length of 100 metres and approximately 200 metres down dip.  Drill results from the original discovery holes (RC-578, RC-579 and DH-456) and recent drilling are summarized in the following table:

Drill Hole	Grid Co-ordinate	Azimuth/Dip		From (m)	To (m)	Interval (m)	Gold (g/t)

An additional target of interest at Epsilon is a sub-parallel, shear hosted quartz vein system, with visible gold mineralization, being aggressively mined by local artisanal miners along an approximate 200 metre strike extent. This vein system lies approximately 100 metres north of the current area of drilling and was first discovered recently by an OJVG trench that intersected a six metre interval grading 6.72 g/t gold.  Drilling has started on this high priority new discovery.

Kobokoto

The Kobokoto area comprises a grouping of multiple gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies expressed as windows within a vast lateritic covered plateau measuring a minimum of 2,500 metres by 3,000 metres located to the west of Maki Medina.  Presently three discrete areas, Alpha, Beta and Gamma, have been selected for ongoing detailed prospecting, geochemical sampling, trenching and drilling evaluations.  Results to date are set out below.

Kobokoto Alpha is presently defined by a >100ppb gold-in-soil anomaly displaying both NW and NE trending structures over a 600-metre by 150-metre area.  This target represents one of the highest grade gold-in-soil anomalies on the Sabodala Property with 15 individual samples in excess of 1.0 g/t gold including high values of 10.8 g/t, 12.1 g/t and 29.3 g/t gold.  Initial drilling of the anomaly includes DH-108 which returned an interval of 10.13 g/t gold over 3 metres.  Extensive trenching is now under way to better define the complex structural targets for drill targeting.  Visual success within the trenching has caught the attention of local artisanal miners who are now actively mining at Kobokoto Alpha.

At Kobokoto Beta, a >100ppb gold-in-soil anomaly comprising an area of 400 metres by 100 metres, including a high gold-in-soil result of 71.7 g/t gold, hosts at least two NE trending structural hosted quartz vein system containing rock prospecting gold results of 21.33 g/t, 22.00 g/t, 24.16 g/t and 36.73g/t.  Most recently a series of short drill holes over only a 50-metre extent of the Kobokoto Beta zone were completed, many of which intersected felsic dyking at or adjacent to the targeted vein.  Initial drilling results include:

Drill Hole	Grid Co-ordinate	Azimuth/Dip	From (m)	To (m)	Interval (m)	Gold (g/t)
DH-508	1452560N/810289E	305/-47	22	24	2	6.69

At Kobokoto Gamma, a >100ppb gold-in-soil anomaly covering a minimum area of 200 metres by 75 metres, including a high gold-in-soil result of 26.3 g/t gold, is associated with a NE trending structural zone.  Additional work is planned.

Cloverleaf Target

The Cloverleaf  target is located approximately one kilometre south of the Golouma West deposit.  The target was defined on surface by a 1000 by 350 metre gold-in-soil anomaly hosting multiple, variably oriented shear hosted quartz vein systems.  Recent drilling on two of these shears has intersected visible gold. Initial drilling results include:

Drill Hole	Grid Co-ordinate	Azimuth/Dip		From (m)	To (m)	Interval (m)	Gold (g/t)

Golouma Northwest Target

The Golouma Northwest target is located approximately 450 metres north of the Golouma West Deposit.  The target was defined on surface by a 250 by 260 metre gold-in-soil anomaly and has been intersected in seven drill holes along a strike length of 100 metres and approximately 100 metres down dip.  The zone consists of a northwest trending shear hosted quartz vein system.  Visible gold has been reported in two of the five core holes completed to date.  Initial drilling results include:

Drill Hole	Grid Co-ordinate	Azimuth/Dip		From (m)	To (m)	Interval (m)	Gold (g/t)
DH-495	1454015N/814550E	260/-50		39	44	5	6.66
