OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 04/02/12 -- Orezone Gold Corporation (TSX: ORE) is pleased to announce additional positive oxide and sulphide drill results from the recently completed 215,000 m infill and expansion drill program at its 100% owned Bombore Gold Project in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Results include 146 reverse circulation (RC) holes (8,786 m) and 83 diamond drill (DD) core holes (13,163 m) from the northern portion of the 11 km long Bombore resource (see Table 3. below). The majority of these core results are from the northern P8P9 area which comprises a significant portion of the 2010 resource. The remaining 35,000 m of results are expected in May and a full NI 43-101 compliant resource update will be released at the end of June.
"These results confirm the more robust nature of the P8P9 area with respect to continuity, widths and grades that occurs to depths of 120 m, the current average depth drilling," said Ron Little, CEO for Orezone. "This further highlights the potential to significantly expand and upgrade the Bombore resource and improve the grade and preliminary economics of the project announced in June 2011."
Resource Definition Drilling
Orezone has completed 115,423 m of new RC drilling and 101,317 m of new core drilling on Bombore. Over 92,000 m of RC results and 82,000 of core results have been received, including 100% of the results from the southern portion of the project for which resource modeling is already in progress. Further expansion and exploration drilling will continue during the second quarter in the southern portion of the project with two core rigs and Orezone's own RC rig, with a focus on the Siga South area; those results are expected during the third quarter.
Regional Exploration
Reconnaissance mapping and prospecting is ongoing with auger drilling to commence this month on the new Toeyoko permit and also on Bombore I permit new oxide targets; those results are expected during the third quarter.

(5) Weighted average grade of uncut individual assays
(6) Weighted average grade of individual assays cut to 5 g/t
(7) Composite width and grade are preliminary where leach residue fire
assay results are pending
The mineralized intervals are based on a lower cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t, a minimal width of 3 m and up to a maximum of two consecutive meters of dilution being included. The true width of the mineralization is approximately 85% of the drill length intervals in Maga, P16, P17 and P8P9 areas, and to 95% of the drill length intervals in the Siga area. The half-core samples were collected by Orezone employees using a diamond saw. The core samples from the weathered (oxide) zone were prepared by Abilab Burkina s.a.r.l. (a subsidiary of ALS-Chemex), BIGS Global Burkina s.a.r.l and SGS Burkina Faso s.a.r.l., and then split by Orezone to 1 kg using Rotary Sample Dividers (RSDs). A 1 kg aliquot was analyzed for leachable gold at BIGS Global Burkina s.a.r.l in Ouagadougou, by bottle-roll cyanidation using a LeachWell? catalyst. The samples from the fresh or sulphide zone were prepared by BIGS Global Burkina s.a.r.l, SGS Burkina Faso s.a.r.l. and Abilab Burkina s.a.r.l. in Ouagadougou and then split by Orezone to 1 kg using Rotary Sample Dividers (RSDs). A 1 kg aliquot was analyzed for leachable gold at BIGS Global Burkina s.a.r.l in Ouagadougou, by bottle-roll cyanidation using a LeachWell? catalyst.
The RC drilling samples were divided by Orezone employees using Rotary Sample Dividers (RSDs). A 2 kg split was prepared by Abilab Burkina s.a.r.l. (a subsidiary of ALS-Chemex), BIGS Global Burkina s.a.r.l and SGS Burkina Faso s.a.r.l., and then split by Orezone to 1 kg using RSDs. A 1 kg aliquot was analyzed for leachable gold at BIGS Global Burkina s.a.r.l in Ouagadougou, by bottle-roll cyanidation using a LeachWell? catalyst. The leach residues from all samples with a leach grade in excess of 0.2 g/t were prepared by BIGS Global Burkina s.a.r.l. and then split by Orezone to 50 g using Rotary Sample Dividers (RSDs). A 50 g aliquot was analyzed by fire assay at Abilab Burkina s.a.r.l. (a subsidiary of ALS-Chemex) or a 30 g aliquot at SGS Burkina Faso s.a.r.l.
Orezone employs a rigorous Quality Control Program (QCP) including a minimum of 10% standards, blanks and duplicates. This program was executed under the supervision of Pascal Marquis, SVP Exploration for Orezone, who is a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101 and approved the technical information in this release. A complete table of results and the NI 43-101 Bombore Resource Report that describes the Bombore resource model can be found at www.orezone.com.
About Orezone Gold Corporation
Orezone is a Canadian company with a gold discovery track record of +10 M oz and recent mine development experience in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Bombore, the Company's 100% owned flagship project, is one of the largest gold deposits in the country and is situated 85 km east of the capital city, adjacent to an international highway. The 2010 Resource is constrained within optimized open pit shells that span 11 km, and include 1.6 Moz indicated and 1.9 Moz inferred resources with an average drill depth of only 60 meters. The Company has completed a 215,000 m drill program to extend the average depth of drilling to 120 meters. The program results are expected to significantly expand resources and support the completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study in 2012. Orezone's goal is to develop Bombore into a world-class deposit and become a mid-tier producer by 2015.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION: This news release contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws.

Forward-looking statements in this release include statements regarding, among others, ; capital and operating cost estimates; gold production for the project; completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study in 2012; completion of a resource update in Q2 2012; commencement of production at the Bombore Project.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS are based on certain assumptions, the opinions and estimates of management at the date the statements are made, and are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. These factors include the inherent risks involved in the exploration and development of mineral properties, the uncertainties involved in interpreting drilling results and other geological data, fluctuating metal prices, the possibility of project cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses, the ability of contracted parties (including laboratories and drill companies to provide services as contracted); uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future and other factors. The Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or management's estimates or opinions should change. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Comparisons between any resource model or estimates with the subsequent drill results are preliminary in nature and should not be relied upon as potential qualified changes to any future resource updates or estimates.
Readers are advised that National Instrument 43-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators requires that each category of mineral reserves and mineral resources be reported separately. Readers should refer to the annual information form of Orezone for the year ended December 31, 2011 and other continuous disclosure documents filed by Orezone since January 1, 2012 available at www.sedar.com, for this detailed information, which is subject to the qualifications and notes set forth therein.
