Mr. Chet Idziszek reports
OJVG ANNOUNCES RESOURCE UPDATE, NEW DRILL RESULTS AND ADDITIONAL MINERAL POTENTIAL
Oromin Explorations Ltd., (“Oromin”), on behalf of Oromin Joint Venture Group Ltd., (“OJVG”) is pleased to announce the results of mineral resource updates completed by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. (“SRK”) for the OJVG Gold Project in Sénégal, West Africa. Oromin is also pleased to report estimates of additional mineral potential that exist downdip of the current resource models that are not included in this resource update. In addition, we continue to discover new deposits and new zones within existing deposits, details of which are reported below.
Chet Idziszek, Oromin’s President and CEO, stated, “the resource update announced today and the heap leach PEA announced last week highlight the ongoing growth in scale and attractiveness of the OJVG Gold Project and we continue to believe that this year will see further success through exploration and engineering activities. Most significantly, we are very pleased to have confirmed the continuity of mineralization beneath the Masato 2010 reserve pit and have delineated almost three quarters of a million ounces of indicated gold resources that we believe is amenable to underground mining. Additionally, we are working jointly with our equal partner, Bendon International, to examine development, financing and strategic alternatives to maximize value from our collective 87% interest in what we both see as one of West Africa’s next gold mines.”
Golouma Style Deposit Resources
In addition to providing a basis for an updated geological and mineral zone interpretation at the Golouma style deposits, drilling in the latter half of 2010 was intended to expand the mineral resources at depth to an indicated level of classification so that the process of identifying new mineral resources and subsequent conversion to mineral reserves can be expedited. This involved not only drilling the down dip extensions of the deposits, but drilling them at tight enough spacing so resources could be largely classified as indicated. As a result of this close spaced drilling, OJVG has confirmed excellent continuity at depth, giving even greater confidence in the down dip potential of the Golouma West, Golouma South, and Kerekounda deposits. In addition, the close proximity and overlapping infrastructure design for two of these similar style deposits from the 2010 Feasibility Study suggests that Golouma West and Golouma South should now be considered as one deposit and will be reported as such henceforth.
This Resource estimate update involved a complete re-interpretation by SRK of the geologic and mineralized models of all Golouma Style deposits. As a result of the remodelling, the following improvements have been made:
– Overall increase in indicated and inferred resources;
– Geological interpretation has improved confidence and increased continuity of mineralisation within the deposits and their downdip projections
– Average depth extent of resource definition increased from 250 metres to 350 metres from surface – Volume of Golouma Style deposits’ wireframes has increased by 24%
– Wireframes for all deposits have been redesigned for a lower cut off grade and successfully demonstrate the greater tonnage potential, large scale continuity and a resource model more conducive to underground mining methods. As expected, the new wireframes include lower grade samples which reduce the overall average grade.
A total of 78 drill holes (29,000 metres) have been completed at Golouma, Kerekounda and Kourouloulou since the previous SRK resource estimates announced in July of 2010 (see news release of July 15, 2010). Compared to the SRK July 2010 resource estimate (constrained by optimized pit), the new drilling (also constrained by optimized pit), revised interpretation and updated resource estimate resulted in a 13% increase (157,000 ounces) in indicated resource ounces and a 24% increase (35,500 ounces) in inferred resource ounces, with the average depth extent of resources increasing from 250 metres to 350 metres from surface.
The Tables below summarizes SRK’s 2011 and previous 2010 combined open pit constrained and underground resources for the Golouma Style Deposits.

Masato Deposit Resources
The goal for the drill program at the Masato Deposit during the latter half of 2010 was to fully define by infill drilling the deeper, higher grade body of mineralization that extends beneath the proposed pit at the Masato Deposit. Contained within the 2010 and current resource estimate for Masato, the 2010 Feasibility Study defined only open pit probable reserves of 460,000 ounces of gold (10.2 M tonnes at 1.41 g/t Au) as there was insufficient drilling density at that time to delineate a higher grade zone of mineralization beneath the proposed open pit. New drilling at the Masato Deposit consisted of infill drilling that both confirmed continuity and expanded the limits of the deeper, higher grade mineralization. The infill drill spacing was tight enough so that the majority of the deep resource expansion at Masato could be categorized as indicated resources. As a result, OJVG has successfully outlined 721,460 ounces of indicated gold resources below 2010 Feasibility Study open pit at a grade of 2.1 g/t gold.
This resource estimate on the Masato Deposit also involved a complete re-interpretation of the 2010 geologic and mineralized models resulting in an improved geological model, improved continuity and increased the OJVG’s confidence in the down dip potential of the high grade zones of mineralization at depth.
The previous resource estimate for the Masato Deposit was completed by DRA America Inc. and utilized an overall cut off grade of 0.40 g/t Au (but unconstrained by an optimized pit), as opposed to SRK’s methodology of using an optimized Whittle pit shell to constrain their estimate for the purpose of reporting mineral resources that have “reasonable prospects” for economic extraction by an open pit. For the current Masato resource estimate, SRK used an optimized pit shell based on a $1300/oz gold price cut-off and a 1.5 metre minimum thickness to report contiguous mineralization below this pit shell that is potentially amenable to underground mining methods. Although the additional 2010 drilling (completed after the previous DRA resource estimate at Masato) has expanded the down dip extent of the Masato Deposit, the Whittle resource shell used by SRK to constrain the mineral resource resulted in a lower tonnage and contained ounces than reported by DRA in its2010 resource estimate announced in July of 2010.However, the SRK 2011 constrained indicated mineral resource estimate for Masato represents an increase of 139,000 ounces over the SRK 2010 constrained indicated mineral resource estimate, which we believe is a more accurate comparison.
The tables below summarize SRK’s 2010 and 2011 combined open pit and underground resources for the Masato Deposit.

Since the previous mineral resource estimate at Masato, a total of 14,000 metres in 50 (predominantly infill) drill holes have been completed at Masato. These holes have confirmed the existence and continuity of higher grade mineralisation below the 2010 Feasibility Study open pit which could be amenable to underground mining and which was not included in 2010 Feasibility Study. The table below summarizes the portion of the new resource estimate >1.0 g/t gold cut-off grade that extends below the 2010 reserve pit and will be evaluated as a potential source of underground reserves.

All resource modeling was completed by David Rowe, CPG, and Fred Brown, CPG, under the supervision of Wayne Barnett, Pr.Sci.Nat. and Marek Nowak, P.Eng. Quality control checks were undertaken on the sampling and analytical procedures, and on the assay results. All of the resources were modeled using an approximate 0.30 g/t Au grade shell solid for each mineralized zone, except Kerekounda and Kourouloulou which were created with a 1 g/t gold grade shell. Variogram models were created for all of the grade shell solids. Assay data from each grade shell was evaluated and appropriately capped for the purposes of this estimation. Block models were created for each of the grade shells and subsequently constrained at depth and laterally by an optimized Whittle shell based on the following parameters; USD$1,300/oz Au, combined ore mining and processing costs of USD$12.75/tonne, overall pit slope of 45 degrees, metallurgical recovery of 95% and appropriate dilution, offsite costs and royalties.
The reader is cautioned that SRK utilizes results from the conceptual pit optimization work solely for the purpose of reporting mineral resources that have “reasonable prospects” for economic extraction by an open pit and do not represent mineral reserves. Indicated and inferred resource tonnage, gold grade and gold content within the optimized pit shell were reported at a 0.37 g/t gold cut off grade. Resource tonnage, gold grade and gold content tabulated from contiguous portions of the mineralization outside of the optimized pit shell, and potentially amenable to underground mining methods, were reported at a 1.0 g/t Au cut off grade.
In the opinion of SRK, the block model resource estimates reported by SRK herein are a reasonable representation of the gold mineral resources found in the Golouma West, Golouma South, Kerekounda, Kourouloulou and Masato deposits at the current level of sampling. Mineral resources for these deposits are reported in accordance with the guidelines of the Canadian Securities Administrators National Instrument 43-101, and have been estimated in conformity with generally accepted CIM “Estimation and Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Best Practices” guidelines. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. The resource estimate was completed by Wayne Barnett, Pr.Sci.Nat.(#400237/04), an independent qualified person as this term is defined in National Instrument 43-101.
Additional Mineral Potential (Golouma, Masato and Kerekounda only)
As demonstrated by the recent deep drilling results, significant upside potential exists within and surrounding many of the OJVG gold deposits as many of the deposits remain open to depth and in some cases along strike. OJVG’s recent focus has been to expand the resources down dip of the known deposits by conducting wide spaced, deep drilling in order to delineate the down dip extensions of mineralization extending from the known deposits. OJVG will continue this program of wide spaced step out drilling concurrent with follow up drilling at a number of the recent discoveries. Since January 2011, the OJVG has made three new gold discoveries (Saboraya, Kourouloulou South, 950 Zone) in addition to their nine deposits and two previously identified gold targets at Kinemba and Koutouniokolla.
At the OJVG’s three largest deposits, the current 0.3 g/t gold grade shell solids extend to an average depth of only 350 metres below surface. To date, the Golouma (Golouma West and Golouma South), Kerekounda and Masato deposits have now been successfully intersected at depths of 900 metres, 560 metres, 490 metres and 565 metres respectively, and all remain open to depth. (See attached representation of the Golouma Deposit-South deep drilling results to date). Although insufficient drilling has been conducted to allow classification of this mineral potential as a resource, the OJVG has targeted these contiguous extensions to the known deposits with their current drill program and estimated the potential quantity of gold mineralization beneath the current resource estimates. These deeper potential zones of mineralization have been defined by extending the known dimensions of the 1.0 g/t gold resource grade shell solids down dip to a minimum of 675 metres and a maximum of 1000 metres below surface. It should be recognized that the zones listed have been intersected by multiple drill holes, are areas where current knowledge of mineralization is sufficient to indicate that these zones are economically viable, and only represent the down dip potential of the listed deposits. The table below lists the potential of each of these zones. There are numerous additional targets within the OJVG Gold Project, including the recent discoveries, that are not included in the list below.
Additional Mineral Potential at Golouma, Kerekounda and Ma
Deposit Tonnage Range Grade Range Au (g/t)
Golouma 12,000 to 24,03 to 5
Kerekoun2,000 to 3,5005 to 6
Masato 10,000 to 20,01 to 1.5
The approximate tonnages and grades listed have been derived by the following procedure; the volume of each potential mineral deposit has been derived by extending the known 0.3 g/t gold, three-dimensional grade shells for the Golouma West, Golouma South, Kerekounda and Masato deposits directly down dip to a 1,000-metre depth and calculating the volume of each new solid down to depths of both 675 metres (representing the minimum target tonnage) and 1,000 metres (representing the maximum target tonnage) below surface.
the range in tonnage of the mineralized material to the 675 metre and 1000 metre depths was calculated by multiplying the volume of each new solid by the mean average density (Specific Gravity = 2.82) of the unoxidized ore bodies immediately up dip. The resulting tonnage for each new solid was reduced by a factor to account for the higher gold grade core amenable to underground mining. This factor was determined from the ratio of tonnage of the >1.0 g/t gold to >0.3 g/t gold blocks in the corresponding resource block models immediately up dip of the new solid.
grade ranges have been derived by using the average inferred resource grade for each corresponding up dip resource as a minimum grade and the average open pit reserve grade contained within the corresponding reserve block immediately up dip of the new solids as the maximum grade.
These tonnages or grade ranges should not be construed as true minimums or maximums, only a reasonable means to establish the range of estimates of potential tonnages and grades for future drill targets.
The resulting potential ranges of quantities and grades listed above are conceptual in nature having been based on geologic knowledge, interpretation and wire-framing. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in any of the targeted areas being delineated as a mineral resource. OJVG currently plans to focus on further exploration drilling within these potential mineral deposits during 2011 and beyond.
Exploration Drilling Update
OJVG has completed a number of drill holes designed to test the down dip potential beneath the resource shells at the Golouma, Kerekounda and Masato deposits. Both recentand previous announced drill results from this deep drilling exploration program confirm that gold mineralization extends well below the current resource shells at all of these deposits. Highlights are listed below with more detailed results provided in the attached appendix:

While carrying out OJVG’s deep drilling program targeting mineralization below the current resource shells, a new zone was intersected with the westernmost hole (DH-971) at Golouma. This new, apparently sub-parallel zone, referred to as the Golouma West Extension, returned values of 421.4 g/t gold over a three metre interval from 294 to 297 metres in hole DH-971.
Recent drilling has also focused on lateral and depth expansion at the Kinemba discovery, a Masato-style bulk tonnage deposit that is potentially amenable to heap leach processing. To date, wide-spaced drilling has extended the mineralization over a minimum strike length of 550 metres to an average depth of 120 metres and the mineralization remains open. Recent results include 2.16 g/t gold over 14 metres in hole RC-868 and 1.41 g/t gold over 14 metres in hole RC-871. Details for these holes along with three previously reported holes are set out in the attached appendix.
Building Value
Since the 2010 Feasibility Study, there have been two major enhancements to the project’s NPV. In July 2010, the OJVG Feasibility Study defined a NPV of $361 million using $1,200/ounce gold and a 3% discount rate. Since that study, the OJVG has completed optimization studies on the plant design and more recently the heap leach potential of four deposits and waste material not included in the 2010 Feasibility Study economics. The table below summarizes the additive impact these enhancements have on the overall project value.

In addition to the foregoing the following all represent examples of potential to build additional value:
The increase of indicated ounces of gold at the Golouma Style Deposits by 157,000 ounces or 13%;
The identification of additional mineral potential at depth at both the Golouma Style Deposits and the Masato deposits;
The identification of 10.6M tonnes grading 2.1g/t gold of indicated resource at Masato below 2010 reserve pit representing new underground mining target;
Continuing high-grade results at Golouma including:81.83 g/t gold over six metres, 32.05 g/t gold over six metres and 421.4 g/t gold over three metres;
The identification of multiple veins (for example in holes DH-966, DH-969 and DH-971) provides an opportunity for significant flexibility to optimize the mine plan;
Heap Leach potential of the GoloumaStyle deposits remains to be evaluated; Expansion of the Kinemba deposit over a minimum strike length of 550 metres to an average depth of 120 metres and remains open; The Heap Leach potential of all Masato Style Deposits remains open to expansion.

New Results Out…. More Gold , New Targets !…. its all Chines to me. But Looks Great !
Caliche—–Are you going to attend the Ole AGM meeting ?? …..What do you now believe is the better value–Ole at $1.19 or Nes at $2.49 ???
Ole’s bettr…. afterall ,gold’s 1500+.. we got 5 mil oz…. (sp?)….. fa la la la la
Hello my friends. Have been on vacation in DC. Nice to come back and see this nice pop in OLE. The share structure has always been the obstacle holding this thing back. Once OLE has an over 50% stake in the project the public side will become easier to value. They will obviously have to give up something to attain this but it will be in the benefit of all 3 parties involved. Next week should shed some light on several issues. Still long and will not sell a single share until the end.
Good luck.
Tony
tony… i posted elsewhere taht i think the ownershp Structure has always been intentional to keep it from beiong hostiled a long time ago for 70 cents. He didnt always want to worry abt the low sp,,, and financing,,,, so to keep the Wolves away,,, he did he Strctre.,quite brilliant by Chet…my theory… Now hes announced he’ll sell 100% or a majority,,, and the majors are lining it up to TRY to steal it… not goin to happen. They will have to pay fair mkt value… bit what is that Price ? hard to keep all the different claqsses of gold in mind and the $$ they get…. inferred, bs, indicated,,, resources etc etc… so i have asked a few experts what they think the Entire Project is worth?/ 2/5 b , 2 b, 1.5 b..?? doesnt matter what we think… only what a ma jor will pay…But hearing they cant Steal it…. and w/ Big Mama now on board… who knows?
tony===Legendary trader Jesse Livermore once said “Men who can be BOTH right and sit tight are uncommon..One has to grasp this principle before really big money can be made.” …Congratulations on your recent decisions….

Meeting on Tuesday
Appears we may be coming to an end with OLE and we should all be happy 🙂
Do you think Olepf will have a exit by the end of 2012? If so at what share price?
Yep, I think we will be done by 12/2011… Price ???? $4 – $6 share
I assume something is happening with the huge volume the last several weeks, but nothing being said at the offices to anybody, so it’s pure speculation something is coming. I’ll be shocked to see a buy out at the numbers being tossed around, after the last 8 or so years I would be glad to put this behind me, good luck to all. I just don’t see it happening at $5
I agree w/ DW…. i see it from $4-$6 as well. —$1.7 bln Offer is $4.93.
Dale… do you see $5 as hi or lo ??
pls be more sspecific as to what you think the price will be. ? thnx. we’re all too curious here.
I am betting on a $5.50 buyout!!! Just My Opinion, but if you do the numbers and if the sale is close, then with the projected Gold on hand – This is my Bet???
As always any comments are always welcome.
DW
Ok… we have 3 at close to the $5 #.
I would take $5 and run asfast as I can.
Some here have made predictions, and not given any logic to back it up. Usually just refers to the rising Gold Price, but lots more to consider.. # share holders, region, clssses of Gold etc…. But just b/c its a rainy day here…. i think they only have 3.75 of (m & i) measured and indicated. 1.75 Inferred and 4 mil BSky.
Doing a lot of figuring on these #’s, figuring in the Negotiation value of a ready made Project w/ no comparabels in W Africa, and the majors need for inventory….. and 2 or more Bidders….I think/hope Chet can get close to a $1.5 bln offer. …. there fore my Bet is $4.50-
I don’t have a figure in mind, I find $5 unlikely. What’s changed so drastically to make this 4-500% rise in price is beyond me, Chet has done nothing for us in my mind so far.
There is over Twelve million ounces of gold in this concession that can be mined very profitably—-43-101 compliant or not at this time , Chet will extract maximum value at buyout for all shareholders including himself……..Buyout price will be in excess of $5/share and I still believe it could approach , or even exceed ,$10 per share , depending on when buyout actually occurs… PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPES AND SMOKE IT…
Dale……… Ya, thats cool. thank u for your prediction. i think $5.50 is right in there. C’mon…. 5.50 is just a fantastic sp….. and a HUGE HUGE HUGE Investmett reward. Just cant understand why most here dont acept this ! is it b/c this is a Penny stock, and the Penny stock Investor has its own demographic profile that explains this behavior ? Dale also, thanks for your reasoning based on not only the price of Gold. ! Many here are not able to make predictions,,,, or dont want to, or are a pumper.. but aftr all these yrs we dont have many pumpres or bashers,,, but at least yur honest enough to give yur opiinon. (i think im texting)…. your prediction would be a boost to the sp, as it will help w/ the b/o sp….. ( yes it would ) Heck, buying now at 1.16 , and a $5.50 sell…. thats HUGE money…. wish i bought my 50k at 1.16 !… seriously,,,, anyone call Soros and Gekko ( maybe they dont know abt this killing)…. this is a 10 mil OZ Project !!!! like to see some real predictions on a b/o sp. No panty waist #’s like “in excess of $5 !.” predictions please.Logic and backing Required on prediictions ! Not just… ” I need ole to hit for my 401 Retirement”…. ya , ive heard that one b4. !
Thats a bs waist of time in LA LA land prediction ( some pumper here). After all the gd time weve have been here…. we have enough info and time to make a prediction !!! …Caliche has done a great job making a real informative WS w/REAL info. We all have a chnce to make some money here based on legitimate info.. BS, panty waist, crap… is dismissed immediately from real Gold investors that are here and now in this serious and sophisticed market place.
Panty waist predictions will hurt this WS. ……lets hear it…. or just strap up yur panty waist garter belt and move along.
BTW… for the wives …… i think some her should double up on ivestors/dreamers Medication when the b/o # comes in !!!!!!!!!
Goldfather……Stop throwing stones when it is obvious that you have NO logic what-so-ever in your guesstimation…your $4.50/share buyout price is based on your OPINION that concession will go for $1.5 billion—-but no logic provided to substantiate that number at all…..Pls continue to provide your opinions , but respect other opinions also , especially when you provide zero logic for your own…
arline… surprising u would reply ? just asking for some b/o guesses ? thats all…. why so defensive ??// just asking for a specific # ./ and some logic to back it up…. i did my home work afteer 6 yrs, and we have 3.75 m and i etc …. (see notes)….. just trying to get some legitimate info. heck…. wahts wrong w/ $4.50… and i did more dd on legit appraisals !,,,,, this is fact Not Opinion !
did U ? Please… youre Op[inion of the SP…. and we will not attack you on your opinion>. ….
Goldfather—You have previously posted that you do not know going rates for gold-in-ground..reserves , measured ,indicated , inferred , bluesky…..You have previously posted that you can not understand NRs..”they are like written in Chinese” to you..Yet now you seem to berate others opinions because they are not as logical as yours.. I repeat , pls continue to provide your own opinions(however non-logical they may be) , but STOP berating opinions of those that disagree with you..No one really knows what the exact shareprice will be at buyout , or even when it will occur….Sharing opinion can be fun , but only if they don’t turn into a pi$$ing contest..You seem to want to start one !!!
Arline.. (boy or girl) just trying to egt a legitimate handle on the b/o price ?? thats all…. i have 3 industry Verbal Appraisals ! what do u have ?// just wondering… I have done my dd on the prices on the gold classses #’s….. all mentioned in my previous notes… i did my DD…. just trying to collaborate my 6 yr investment…. thats all. ! All fact not opinion. Whats your opinion (again please base it on something intelligent)
…we all are just interested in our investment.
I leave for 6 months and all hell breaks loose! When did the fighting begin? I hate to throw gasoline on this………….but I will!
$4.00 is absolutely the high end, SORRY!
OJVG has 43%, nobody seems to remember that. Additionally, Chet still wants to prove the 10 Million so he can get that dream number so we are stuck for awhile longer. 6-12 months… SORRY AGAIN.
I’ll be back in 6 months.
AB
Goldfather……You know my opinion…You also know I am male since we used to converse via telephone….You also know Arlene is name of my wife and great grand daughter..thus Arlene2 ……Stop trying to start a pi$$ing contest ……Your DD is unimpressive to me..a la asking opinions for three appraisals….which are worth a dime a dozen..Best Regards , Arlene2
….whats your opinion of the b/o sp ? thats all we ask…. whats the big deal ? u know a lot abt this co,,,, would jsut like to kow?.. DW,and Dale and i provioded our opinion…. no one knows at all for sure… but a range is suspected…. Cant you just give a specific opinion? Not a bs guess of “in excess of $5…”… w/ logic besides Chet takes care of his shareholders, and $1,600 gold ?……. or are you wearing sherriff Arpiro’s pink undies ?
This will be my last communication on this ridiculous diatribe…..My only logic is what has been posted before and which you should be well aware of——- some of which is….. this concession can be mined profitable , this concession is ready to go with all licensing & permits completed,this concession will ultimately be proven to contain over 12 million ounces ,price of spot gold now nearly $1600 and trend is definitely up , Senegal very mining friendly , and I do indeed take Chet’s history at buyout time into account . He will not let it go “on the cheap”
Arline….after all these years… thats all u got ?? geez !
P.S. forgot to be more specifid than my previous “BS”opinion——If buyout 60 days , will be $5.93 per share—–If buyout 120 days $7.64—–If buyout 180 days $9.33——-Any longer than 180 days shareprice will be higher…
arline……. thank you… thats great !….glad to hear it….thats all we wanted…. a specific opinion ! no argument here,,,, youve got a lot of info on the co after abt 5 yrs. And yur opinion is sincerely respected and appreciated. !!!! …. you must have taken off the pink undies….( just kidding lol.)
peace !
I apologize to all for cluttering up this site earlier with that inane dialog with Goldfather…..It won’t happen again !!!
It is clear to me that we have a few passionate individuals here pertaining to OLE. I do not think that as a bad thing!! I think all of us here can only speculate as to what comes next in the story of OLE. I too have been watching for close to 6 years and would like nothing more than to see this thing put to bed so we can move on. In my opinion, we will not have a slow rise to $3,$4,$5 or $10 per share, it will probably be an overnight thing. Chet obviously wants it that way, for whatever reason, we can only guess at this time. That is the frustrating part. Thanks to all who contribute to this forum. Without it, we would barely have no news at all.
Gold bugs, I rather enjoyed the bantor. Most we’ve had in a while. IndyGold asked the price question, and i think DW responded with an opinion. Then others joined in with what the Take over price will be. Easy to guess, but opinions with facts and figures are good to hear. Now I seem to have an idea what its worth .This gold trade is
complicated.Thanks guys. Think I’ll go buy some more. $1.15 looks like a bargain.
If this deal is so good and impending, why are insiders not filling their boots with as many shares as they can get their chubby little hands on? 37k is hardly an endosement of optimism. Give me $3.50 and I will be thrilled.
Dale — it does make you wonder. But this has been a sleeepy and mysterious stock. Word will get out soon. But will agree with someone else who said that it will go fast. From $1.19 to the Take out price. Whatever that ends up to be. And based on the resent bantor, from your now 3.50 to the 5.93 price suggested here lately.
Doublem2-
I think you have it right, we are going to linger around the $1.00 range as we really have no value until the majors actually make a bid and an offer is accepted.
Although it is true that ole has tons of gold in the ground, it is worthless until out of the ground.
Without an offer, time ticking on the lease, this property must be sold soon no matter how much is proven to allow time for a major to extract. This is why I feel this project must be sold this year, but I also feel Chet knows the numbers and will not let it go for less than it is truly worth.
With 10 companies looking and 3 looking at earnest bids, I think we will all be very happy in the end. $5.50 a share will make me quite happy. I personally am not interested in staying in for another year or more.
Again, this is just my opinion, but I have done a lot of homework and spent quite a bit of $$$$ to find out my information as I am not a gold guy and do not understand the reports.
Hey, if it comes in for more – that is awesome also 🙂
Also
The meeting tomorrow should shed a lot of light on this whole subject… Will be interesting to see how Long it takes to get the information out???
On the eve of the AGM with all the expecdtations that have been hinted about a management solution and subsequent buyout, today was dissapointing to say the least. The sp should be soaring! What was all the volume about last week if nothing is going to happen but hot dogs for lunch?
After 6 yeears I am ready for something but I still believe if this is indeed the time that Chet will deliver as he has in the past in excess of expectations. Perhaps it will be a stock/cash deal which would be fine with me. But talk of $2 or $3 deals with the price of gold soaring and Ole results more than promising don’t make any sense.
I’m still troubled by today’s drop in sp. I hope this is not another dissapointment fueled by rumor. I will hang in to the end whenever it happens.
Anyone have anything regarding the AGM?
Love to hear some news
Must be one hell of a party going on at the AGM…for us not to hear any word as of yet…
Caliche?
h1
Oromin Restructures to 100 %… Just heard Chet announced they will Sell 100 % of Oromin. Partners all on board. Said in Public at the AGM… talk about the Mamasato find,,, gonna be huge. But not as big as Goulouma . Thats fantastic,,,, and puts Oromin In Play for a Buy Out !
I am going to assume that by the low volume this morning and the fall in share price, nobody seems to have gotten the word that ole (Chet) has said the Company is for sale!!!
Is this not what everyone has wanted?
I am surprised at the lack of talk on here based on what has slowly leaked out of the AGM yesterday, sounds very positive so far to me!
???????????
DW…. im surprised too. I thought this News was fantastic…. and thought this was what all were waiting for.? jsut a slow hot summer day….other stuff goin on ?….hope Grandich egts on it…. and i was told that 6 to 26 companies would be interested in Ole. Just the big guys. DS better be making 26 fone calls and getting out 26 packets rite away. i’m sure hes doing that rite now. All we need is One, but 2 bidders would be nice…. and with all the atttention Gold is getting, and its scarcity, youd think the majors would be knocking the doors down to obtain 10 to 12 mil Gold OZ,
DS needs to get the Word out.!!!
It has been reported that Chet indicated that management is 100% together and that Ole is now open for bids. But who heard this conversation? Did you Caliche?
I am not at all concerned about the current sp if indeed Ole is truly on the market to the higest bidder. But since this information was not on the agenda for the meeting who can confirm that Chet said what has been reported?
If he said it we are fine and he will get a good price for Ole I have no doubt but inquiring minds want to know what was said and to whom. That’s pretty significant information would you all not agree?
agreed that is pretty big and important news.
I cannot confirm it, but I do believe it.
DS alluded to this weeks ago on the phone to me.
I think there will be some sort of PR saying that the company is for sale and that some large firm is aiding in the sale.
Hopefully that will come soon on the back of some more drill results.
Riff Doc…. i agree, in writing would be nice. But i was told by a very reliable source , who was able to attend the meeting. Chet told this person, in casual discussions before and after the mtg.
Said 100% will be delivered to a buyer who is able to make a strong Offer.
Maybe they wont make a NR about it for a while. Gotta admit, their style is to keep everything quiet. Topridge…. but you recd indication of same from DS….. well we all need to cll the Co, and ask questions and just ask them to make an announcement. Worked in the past.
i was there and asked david scott directly about ownership and he told me “nothing would change” all chet said publically was that bendon was a full funding partner splitting costs (140 million so far)and badr was carried..i was told there is some sort of document being amended between the partners but as to its contents i have no idea.. fuck i wish these guys would be clear and transparent with regards to this issue.. we will not buy any stock until a NR is issued in writing clarifying what is happening..
Sounds to me like this is a pretty solid “rumor”……(Only “rumor” because no official announcement..and Caliche is doubtful)

Guys:
Now that the ownership has been 100% clarified, and the latest 43-101 report is going to show 25.8M oz M&I with another 403M oz blue sky… we should see at least two bidders jump on this…
Our ten year wait is over this winter no later than Dec… Hang in there all!!!
