Oroco Temporarily Suspends Drilling Activities
June 9, 2022 NEWS RELEASE
OROCO TEMPORARILY SUSPENDS DRILLING ACTIVITIES
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – (June 9, 2022) Oroco Resource Corp. ( TSX-V: OCO, OTC: ORRCF )
(“Oroco” or “the Company” ) announces that it has temporarily susp ended its drilling operations at Santo
Tomas for safety and security reasons relating to an increase in federal military operations in the region
resulting from a dispute between criminal elements.
“Our primary concern at this time is to ensure the safety of our field personnel,” stated Craig Dalziel, Oroco’s
Executive Chairman. “While disputes of this nature do not in any way directly affect our overall operations
at Santo Tomas, we feel it is very important that the company and its personnel avoid all possible contact with
any hostilities which may arise in the general area.”
The Company intends to take advantage of this te mporary shutdown by providing a seasonal break for its
drilling crews while maintaining its core-processing activities at Ranchito, the Company’s central processing
and storage facility.
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
surrounding and adjacent to the Core Concessions (for a total project area 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, 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 circulati on drill holes, totalling appr oximately 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 160 km 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.
