that Oroco continues to be able to finance its land assembly activities at Santo Tomas without having

to formally go to the market for funding support. Our objective is to continue to build a strong

investment rationale for Oroco and the Santo Tomas project in a manner which allows timely capital

injections while limiting the overall dilution to the Company. We see this strategy as essential to the

preservation of the considerable opportunity presented at Santo Tomas."
