About Medoro Resources Ltd.

Medoro Resources Ltd. is a gold exploration, development and mining company with a primary emphasis on Colombia. The Company operates the producing Mineros Nacionales gold mine located in Zona Baja at Marmato and is conducting an exploration and in-fill drilling program at its Marmato Project to upgrade and expand its gold resources there.

Medoro has a 5% interest in the Frontino Gold Mines assets through a joint venture with Gran Colombia Gold Corp., which operates the joint venture and holds the other 95%. The 5% interest is a carried interest for one year, during which time Medoro has a back-in right option to increase its interest to 50% by paying 50% of the net purchase price, Finders Fees and any capital expenditures incurred by the joint venture up until the exercise of such option, plus a premium of 25% thereon. If Medoro does not exercise its back-in right, its 5% interest would be a participating interest subject to dilution if Medoro does not contribute it ongoing share of expenditures. The Frontino Gold Mines assets cover a large land position of 2,907 hectares in the northeast of the Department of Antioquia, Colombia.

Medoro also holds a 100% interest in the Lo Increible 4A and 4B concessions in Venezuela where it is continuing its efforts to obtain an exploitation permit to allow development of these gold properties when circumstances in Venezuela allow. Medoro owns interests in gold exploration properties in Mali in respect of which it is seeking possible joint venture partners to further explore these properties.
