Medoro Resources Ltd.: Marmato Town Relocation Underway

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 09/27/10 -- Medoro Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: MRS) is pleased to announce that it has been informed by the Marmato municipal authorities and the Department of Caldas (Colombia) that they have approved the building of new infrastructure related to the relocation of the town to the El Llano area, located 3 kilometres to the east of Marmato.

As part of this process, a new school with a capacity for 1,200 students, including 26 classrooms, washrooms, physics and chemistry laboratories, a cafeteria, sport field, computer sciences rooms, library, and auditorium. The cost of the facility is currently estimated at US$1.7 million. Once construction is completed, the existing school in Marmato will be relocated to El Llano. For the building of the new school, the municipality has already donated the necessary land.

Also, the bidding process for the construction of a new health facility for El Llano has commenced. This facility, which will replace the current one in Marmato, will be designed to provide first-level response for medical emergencies and surgeries as well as administrative offices, a childbirth room and other related services. It is expected that construction will commence within six months. The municipality of Marmato has already donated the necessary land. Funding for this phase, amounting to US$700,000, will be provided by the Caldas Government and the Marmato municipality. The second phase funds, estimated at US$1.0 million, have not yet been funded, but Medoro, as part of its social and relocation plans, has agreed to fund a portion of this cost, in conjunction with the municipal and departmental governments.

In addition to the construction of a new school and hospital, the municipality has advised the Colombian Interior Ministry of its plans for the construction of a new municipal administrative headquarters in El Llano, including the mayor's office, municipal council headquarters and secretary's offices.

The mayor has also requested that the general commander's office of the national police build a new police station with a capacity for 25 officers and related equipment in El Llano to replace the current one in Marmato, at an estimated cost of US$500,000. The municipality has already donated the necessary land.

Additionally, in support of the relocation, the Caldas Government has been paving and rebuilding portions of the roadway in the area. The work commenced in July, 2010 with an estimated cost of US$1.5 million.

As a result of geological instability in certain areas of Marmato as a result of historical mining activities, the mayor's office has decided to relocate 15 high risk housing units to El Llano, at a cost of US$250,000. The land for this relocation will be contributed by the municipality.

Medoro has been developing a socialization plan for the Marmato Project and of the relocation of the town since January 2010. The company has had more than 100 meetings with the community in which more than 4,000 people have participated, in order to better inform the community about its social plan including the relocation of the town as well as its proposed environmental management plan related to the development of a large scale mining project.

Commenting on these developments, Serafino Iacono, Interim Chief Executive Officer stated, 'We are extremely pleased to see the support and commitment of officials at the municipal and departmental levels, and the community in general, as we move forward with this project. Our vision is not just about moving the town so that we can build a mine, it is about resolving problems that have been created by hundreds of years of small scale mining, and building a better future for everyone.'
