Orea Provides Update on Management Cease Trade Order

Vancouver, January 16, 2024 - Orea Mining Corp. (TSX: OREA) (OTCQB: OREAF) (FSE: 3CG) ("Orea" or the "Company") is providing an update to its previously disclosed management cease trade order ("MCTO"), announced on January 3, 2024, in respect of the audited annual financial statements and corresponding management's discussion and analysis for the year ended September 30, 2023, including the CEO and CFO certifications (collectively, the "Annual Filings") that were not filed by the required regulatory filing deadline of December 29, 2023.

As previously disclosed, the delays are a direct consequence of not obtaining Canadian government approval to close the transaction to acquire 100% of the Montagne d'Or gold project, which has resulted in a significant working capital deficit and a material reduction in Orea's staff.

Orea is working on the steps required to complete the Annual Filings. The Company will provide updates as further information relating to the Annual Filings becomes available.

Until the Annual Filings are filed, the MCTO will be in effect. Additionally, Orea will issue bi-weekly default status reports in accordance with National Policy 12-203 - Management Cease Trade Orders. The Company intends to satisfy the provisions of the Alternative Information Guidelines during the period it remains in default of the filing requirements. Orea confirms that there have been no material business developments or other material information relating to its affairs as of the date of this news release that have not been generally disclosed.
