Commenting on the Financing, Oroco President and CEO, Craig Dalziel stated "We are very pleased that Oroco continues to be able to finance its land assembly activities at Santo Tomas without having to formally go to the market for funding support. Our objective is to continue to build a strong investment rationale for Oroco and the Santo Tomas project in a manner which allows timely capital injections while limiting the overall dilution to the Company. We see this strategy as essential to the preservation of the considerable opportunity presented at Santo Tomas."
