Oroco Resource Corp. (TSXV: OCO) ("Oroco" or "the
Company")
is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of

the North and South Zones at
Santo Tomas
, construct an exploration camp on the West Bench of
the property, and undertake a work campaign on the property involving ground geophysical and
geological surveys, including Three Dimensional Induced Polarization programs. In addition,
proceeds will be utilized for aspects of project permitting, and the scoping of water and power
needs, sources and costs.
"Oroco is now in position to take advantage of the recent resolution of its title concerns at
Santo
Tomas
," stated Oroco CEO,
Craig Dalziel
. "We are now able to initiate the First Phase of an
extensive exploration and development plan for

its considerable porphyry copper potential. We are very pleased to announce that we have reached
this important milestone in the advancement of the
Santo Tomas
project."
ABOUT OROCO:
The Company holds an irrevocable option to acquire a majority interest in the collective 1,172.9 ha
core concessions of the Santo Tomás project in
NW Mexico
. It also holds a 77.5% interest in
7,807.9 ha of mineral concessions surrounding and adjacent to the core concessions (a total project
size of 22,192 acres). The project is situated within the
Santo Tomas
District, which extends from
Santo Tomas
up to the Jinchuan Group's Bahuerachi project, which lies approximately 14 km to the
north-east. Santo Tomás hosts a significant copper porphyry deposit defined by prior exploration
spanning the period from 1968 to 1994. During that time, the property was tested by over 100
diamond drill and reverse circulation drill holes, totaling approximately 30,000 meters. Based on
data generated by these drill programs, a resource estimate for the project was calculated by
Mintec, Inc., and metallurgical test work was conducted by Mountain States Research and
Development, Inc. In 1994, a Prefeasibility Study was completed by Bateman Engineering Inc.
