ABOUT OROCO:

The Company holds a net 73.2% interest in the collec tive 1,172.9 ha Core Concessions of the Santo Tomas

Project in NW Mexico and may increase that majority interest up to an 85.5% interest with a project investment

of up to CAD$30 million. The Company also holds a 77. 5% interest in 7,807.9 ha of mineral concessions

situated within the Santo Tomas District, which extends from Santo Tomas up to the Jinchuan Group’s

Bahuerachi project, approximately 14 km to the north-east. Santo Tomas hosts a significant copper porphyry

deposit defined by prior exploration spanning the peri od from 1968 to 1994. During that time, the property

was tested by over 100 diamond and reverse circulation drill holes, totaling approximately 30,000 meters.

Based on data generated by these drill programs, a historical Prefeasibility Study was completed by Bateman

Engineering Inc. in 1994.

The Santo Tomas Project is located within 160km of the Pacific deep -water port at Topolobampo and is

serviced via highway and proximal rail (and parallel corridors of trunk grid power lines and natural gas)

through the city of Los Mochis to the northern city of Choix. The property is reached by a 32 km access road

originally built to service Goldcorp’s El Sauzal Mine in Chihuahua State.
