VANCOUVER, British Columbia – (October 29, 2019) Oroco Resource Corp. (TSX-V: OCO) (“Oroco” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the warrant holders from a unit offering completed on April 26, 2018 have fully exercised all 4,500,000 share purchase warrants, providing proceeds to the Company of $720,000. This addition to the Company’s working capital will be used to advance Oroco’s current exploration program at the Santo Tomás Project in Northwest Mexico.
ABOUT OROCO:
The Company holds an irrevocable option to earn up to an 81% interest in the 1,172.9 ha core concessions of the Santo Tomás Project in NW Mexico and a 77.5% interest in 7,807.9 ha of mineral concessions surrounding and adjacent to the core concessions (a total project size of 8,980.8 ha, or 22,192 acres). The Project is situated within the Santo Tomás District, which extends from Santo Tomás up to the Jinchuan Group’s Bahuerachi project, 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.
The Santo Tomás Project is located within 160km of the Pacific deep-water port at Topolobampo, and 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 the El Sauzal Mine of Goldcorp in Chihuahua State. The reader is directed to the Company’s August 2019 Technical Report filed on SEDAR.
