Orosur Mining Inc Announces Positive Drill Results for the Vaca Muerta Project, Uruguay

Orosur Mining Inc

Orosur Mining Inc. (‘OMI’ or ‘the Company’) (TSX-V: OMI) (AIM: OMI), a South American-focused gold producer and explorer, announces drill results for the Vaca Muerta project in northern Uruguay.

Highlights

• Best gold intercepts from Vaca Muerta include 26 metres at 2.30g/t from 53 metres in hole VMRC019 and 16 metres at 2.58g/t from 43 meters in hole VMRC016.
• Results demonstrate potentially wide intercepts of gold mineralisation which are open down dip and along strike.
• A follow-up drill programme is planned to commence this week.

David Fowler, CEO of the Company commented: "Vaca Muerta is located in the eastern end of the Isla Cristalina Belt, approximately 85 kilometres by road from the producing San Gregorio mine site. These excellent drill results, which show good grade and apparent width, are significant in their potential to add to the San Gregorio mine plan. We are very pleased with the results in exploration over the past six months, identifying additional near mine resources at San Gregorio, defining a first NI 43-101 resource at Pantanillo and now delivering these results in Vaca Muerta.”

Vaca Muerta Drill Results

The Company has completed a seven hole reverse circulation drilling programme at Vaca Muerta totalling 600 metres and all seven holes encountered anomalous gold values. The best intercepts, results shown in the table below, demonstrate strong, shallow gold mineralisation that is open along strike in both directions as well as down dip.

Hole	Â	From	Â	To	Â	Interval (m)	Â	Gold Au g/t
VMRC016	Â	43	Â	59	Â	16	Â	2.58
VMRC018	Â	63	Â	66	Â	3	Â	1.71
VMRC019	Â	53	Â	79	Â	26	Â	2.30

Grades were calculated using a cutoff of 0.5g/t Au. Samples were processed using OMI’s In house Laboratory using fire assay with atomic absorption finish. For quality control purposes 5% of samples are reanalysed at external laboratories.

About Vaca Muerta

Vaca Muerta is located 85 kilometres east of the Company’s San Gregorio gold mine in northern Uruguay in the Isla Cristalina Belt. Vaca Muerta is one of three prospects in the eastern portion of the Isla Cristalina Belt, including Vichadero and Curtume, located adjacent to the 100 kilometre long Rivera Shear and identified by historic steam sediment sampling and follow-up mapping, rock/soil sampling and geophysics. Earlier drilling at Vaca Muerta by Crystallex in 1999 (18 holes for 1,378 meters) encountered only weak mineralization, with the best intercept being 37 metres at 0.5 g/t au. The current drilling by OMI is the first since that time and it has concentrated on a more thorough test of the 350 metre long zone of anomalous surface gold values historically outlined.

Vaca Muerta mineralization is similar in style to the San Gregorio deposits. Host rock granites are strongly foliated and sheared and contain zones of Quartz/FeOx/Sericite/Pyrite veining.

Next steps

The company plans to complete a follow-up drill programme of approximately 500 metres to better define structural controls, establish true widths and determine whether new intercepts represent one single or two separate structures. Once the controls are confirmed a step-out drill campaign along strike to the east and west will be initiated.
