(“Orosur” or the “Company”) (TSX/AIM: OMI), a South America-focused gold producer, developer and explorer, is pleased to announce that it has conditionally raised gross proceeds of approximately C$4.0 million (US$3.2 million) through a placing and subscription of 16,740,502 new Common Shares of no par value (the "Subscription Shares" or “New Common Shares”) at a price of C$0.241 (14.7p per share*) per Subscription Share (“Subscription Price”) (together the "Subscription"), together with a grant of unlisted warrants over new Common Shares (“Subscription Warrants”) on the basis of one Subscription Warrant for every two Subscription Shares.

Highlights

• The Subscription Price was negotiated and agreed in principle on August 1^st, 2017 and was based on a 5% premium to the 5-day VWAP of the Company’s shares trading on the TSX ending August 1^st, 2017
• The Subscription was oversubscribed
• Each full Subscription Warrant entitles the holder to purchase a Common Share at a price of C$0.337 on or before August 14^th, 2020
• The net proceeds of this Subscription are intended to be deployed for drilling and associated activities at the Company’s highly prospective Anzá gold project in Colombia
• Cash flow from existing operations in Uruguay can now be fully concentrated on both growing production in Uruguay and extending life of mine
• Concurrent with the financing, the Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Numis Securities Limited as its joint broker with immediate effect alongside its existing nomad and broker, Cantor Fitzgerald Europe

Background to and Reasons for the Subscription

As announced on June 20^th, 2017, for the year ending May 31^st, 2017 the Company produced 35,371 ounces of gold, with operating cash costs expected to be within its guidance of US$800-US$900 per ounce. The Company expects production from the San Gregorio mine in Uruguay for the current financial year to be between 30,000 - 35,000 ounces of gold, with operating costs of US$800 - US$900 per ounce.

At current gold prices this will allow the Company to continue to focus on expanding its resource base in Uruguay both from underground and surface operations, with the aim of increasing its mine life and/or increasing production by utilising the spare capacity in the San Gregorio plant**.

The Company also announced in its operational update that it planned to commence a 15,000 - 30,000 metre drilling campaign in 2017 in Colombia, culminating in the preparation and publishing of a maiden N.I. 43-101 compliant resource report for the Anzá gold project (“Anzá”). The net proceeds of this Subscription of US$3.2 million are intended to be deployed for drilling and associated activities at Anzá, and are budgeted to fund an initial 15,000 metres of diamond drilling.

Ignacio Salazar, CEO of the Company, commented: “The completion of this financing, which was oversubscribed and at a premium to the prevailing market when negotiated, is a testament to the quality of our assets and growth prospects. We are delighted to have two new institutional shareholders join our shareholder base while limiting dilution to our existing shareholders. The funds raised should allow the Company to swiftly commence resource definition drilling in our high potential Anzá gold project in the Mid Cauca belt of Colombia. Concurrently, cash flow from existing operations in Uruguay can be directed to growing our production profile within the 100 km long greenstone belt we control in Uruguay, as well as around our existing operating mine and CIL plant. This is aimed at accelerating progress in the two key growth projects of the Company.”
