Dr. Simon Ingram, President and CEO of Reservoir Minerals commented: "We look forward to the results of the substantial drilling program now underway by Orogen as they continue to fund further exploration at the Deli-Jovan gold project."

Orogen has completed the 55% earn-in to the Deli Jovan gold exploration project by completing a total of $1.5 million in exploration expenditure on the project.

Deli Jovan Project

The Company's Deli Jovan Exploration Permit covers 69 square kilometers over the historic gold mines, Gindusa and Rusman, which were worked in the early 20th Century. These deposits are located on an 8 kilometer long, northwest - southeast striking and steeply dipping, shear system hosting mesothermal gold veins. Underground mapping at Gindusa identified four mineralised quartz veins within the shear corridor that is at least at least 80 meter wide. Chip sampling from levels 1 and 2 of the Gindusa historic workings confirmed the presence of high-grade gold values, ranging from trace up to 63.4 grams per tonne of gold in 130 continuous chip samples.

Orogen is prioritising exploration at Gindusa, and has commenced a 7,500 metre diamond drill program at the Deli Jovan gold exploration project.
