Business Description
Oro Gold is a gold exploration company founded in 2005. Oro's initial focus was on acquiring properties with significant potential in Mexico and Central America. The company is now focusing on the Trinidad District in Sinaloa, Mexico with a drill program underway at Taunus and an exploration program being initiated at El Habal. The Taunus Zone was the site of an open-pit mine and currently has an NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource of 200,930 ounces. Oro has a near-term goal of building that to 1MM ounces.
Overview
* Management - The key personnel at Oro Gold have a long history of working together to bring deposits into production for Placer Dome.
* Properties - The company has secured a significant land position in a highly-prospective area of Mexico that has seen historic mining and has excellent access to infrastructure. Recent high-grade drill results from the Taunus Zone have confirmed the multi-million ounce potential there.
* In July 2009, the company closed a $12MM private placement. This funding is enabling the company to aggressively pursue their exploration program for the foreseeable future.
Advanced Projects
