[Press Release] NEWS - Oromin Explorations Ltd.: Progress at Santa Rosa Oil Project, Argentina

14 Oct 2008 13:34:00 GMT

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - (Oct. 14, 2008) - Oromin Explorations Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:OLE)(OTCBB:OLEPF) ("Oromin" or the "Company") is pleased to advise that the environmental studies on the Santa Rosa Exploration Permit have been completed by our wholly-owned Argentine subsidiary and have been filed with the Environmental Control and Improvement Directorate of the Province of Mendoza. The Directorate will oversee the evaluation of the environmental studies by the appropriate government agencies and specialists prior to authorizing the first phase of exploration drilling, scheduled for the first quarter of 2009.

The Santa Rosa Block has an area of 7,694 square kilometres with approximately 300 square kilometres being the area we are focused on. This area covers a large, untested, shallow dome structure that is defined by four surrounding seismic lines on a regional grid. In addition to the environmental studies, a land surveying contract has been awarded to re-establish the corners and boundaries of the block in compliance with provincial regulations. This survey will also establish the locations of potential drill-sites and set up a reference grid for future exploration activities.

The CCyB-9 Santa Rosa Block is located within the Cuyana Basin in Mendoza Province, Argentina which has produced over 1.28 billion barrels of oil and has an established infrastructure of pipelines, a refinery, low operating costs and an experienced oil industry work force.

Otto Energy Limited has a Letter of Intent with Oromin which enables it to earn up to a 41.24% working interest by the expenditure of up to US$2,297,381.

Norman Haimila, Ph.D., petroleum consultant and Oromin's Country Manager, is the Company's "qualified evaluator" for the purposes of National Instrument 51-101 and has verified the data disclosed in this news release. Dr. Haimila is a member of A.I.P.G. and A.A.P.G.

[Industry Bulletin] INDUSTRY BULLETIN: AGORACOM Reports Shows Search For “Gold Stocks” By US Investors Skyrockets

09 Oct 2008 10:55:00 GMT

U.S. Searches For “Agoracom” Skyrockets With Bloomberg / CNBC TV Campaign. “Gold Stocks” Too.

October 9th, 2008

On September 15, we announced the commencement of 30-second television ads on Bloomberg and CNBC in the United States, as well as, BNN in Canada. Unlike search engine marketing, it can be used to be hard to measure the effectiveness of offline branding campaigns because potential new visitors don’t call you. If we were specifically marketing our IR services, you could measure the number of prospect calls or web inquiries.

Fortunately, we now have Google Trends. Google Trends analyzes how many searches have been done for a specific term, relative to the total number of searches for that specific term over time. In this case, I wanted to see the search trend for “AGORACOM” in the United States.

In order to make comparisons easy and put them in relative terms, Google assigns the searches over time a baseline score of 1.00. As such, anything above 1.00 since September 15 is a good sign and anything below 1.00 is a bad sign. How good or bad would depend on how far off 1.00 the trend is.

So what is the trend for AGORACOM so far? A Google Trends chart is worth 1,000 words:

The spike is so big that the baseline of 1.00 looks like we had no searches at all in 2008 when, in fact, the spike meant the chart had to be set to increments of 10. To put this into perspective, Imagine what the chart of a small-cap stock would look like if it was trading pretty healthy in and around $1.00 for most of the year and then suddenly spiked to almost $20.

I do concede this is still early and we will have to check this again in 30 days - but we are off to a great start.

AMERICANS SEARCHING FOR “GOLD STOCKS”

If you want to take a look at your own trends, go here. You can view a search trend for the entire world or for a specific country. The caveat is that Google Trends doesn’t give you reports on thinly traded search terms. As such, if your corporate name doesn’t register, try things like your industry. For example, I queried “Gold Stocks” and the following tells me that Americans are becoming VERY interested in them!

If you are a small-cap CEO and don’t recognize the power of Web 2.0 by now, I give up

Regards,
George

[Industry Bulletin] INDUSTRY BULLETIN - Bloomberg - Gold May Hit $950 As Central Banks and Miners Hold Back Sales. Grandich Pegs It Again

17 Sep 2008 13:20:00 GMT

Dear Shareholders,

In an effort to keep you up to date on all pertinent information regarding the resource sector and more specifically the supply demand fundamentals of gold bullion, please see the latest AGORACOM Blog entry titled, "Bloomberg - Gold May Hit $950 As Central Banks and Miners Hold Back Sales."

Gold is up $64 to $844 as of 12:15 PM EST. I could end this post here and that one sentence could be the entire story.

However, like a good infomercial, “there is more!”. Specifically, Bloomberg is running a story that gold may hit $950 by the end of the year “as central banks and miners hold back sales and investors buy the metal as a haven against falling stock prices.”

The good news for gold bugs is that a $950 price isn’t tethered to simply a shaky stock market. Otherwise, a market turnaround on its own could quell the gold rush.

Rather, London-based researcher GFMS Ltd. states that Central Bank sales will drop 46 percent in 2008, while mine supply will decline for a third year. Specifically, with respect to mine supply, global mine production will drop 2.3 percent this year to 2,422 tons, the lowest since 1996 That is going to put great pressure on an already string tight supply issue.

Moreover, GFMS believes demand from investors worldwide will soar 38 percent to 778 metric tons, with purchases in east Asia more than doubling.

GRANDICH HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD AGAIN

If I didn know any better, I would think that Peter Grandich single-handedly sets the price of gold. For about the zillionth time over the last 3 years, Grandich once again pegged an overextended gold price (oversold or overbought) when he made this statement just 5days ago in his newsletter:

“I have just recorded the single most oversold condition for Gold since the great
bull market began at the start of this decade”

After a brief hiatus, it looks like gold is back and possibly stronger than ever.

AGORACOM

[Press Release] NEWS - Oromin Explorations Ltd.: Ongoing Drilling Continues to Expand Mineralization at Established Deposits

16 Sep 2008 09:05:00 GMT

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -(Sept. 16, 2008) - Oromin Explorations Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:OLE)(OTCBB:OLEPF) -

HIGHLIGHTS

- Drilling progressing well towards the planned Q4 2008 resource update

- Most recent drill results continue to expand mineralization at the Masato gold deposit including:

-- 10 metres of 5.79 g/t gold in DH-293

-- 31 metres of 1.59 g/t gold in DH-303

-- 12 metres of 1.93 g/t gold in RC-392

-- 11 metres of 2.31 g/t gold in RC-404

- Initial drilling at the cloverleaf target underway

Oromin Explorations Ltd. ("Oromin"), on behalf of the Oromin Joint Venture Group ("OJVG"), is pleased to report further results from the ongoing core and reverse circulation drilling program at its Sabodala Project situated in an emerging gold district of eastern Senegal. Recent results confirm the continued expansion of gold mineralization at Sabodala where an initial NI 43-101 compliant in-situ inferred resource (25.2 million tonnes grading 1.73 g/t gold for 1.4 million ounces of gold) was calculated for the OJVG's Masato, Golouma West and Golouma South deposits for results available to May 2008 (see July 24/2008 news release and 3-D models at www.oromin.com).

The bulk of recent drilling and results are from the Masato Deposit where drilling now extends over a strike length in excess of 2,100 metres. We have now completed more than double the 146 holes utilized in the initial resource calculation. Many of these new results are from step-out holes along trend, both to the north and south, to depth and locally up-dip where near surface mineralization was not incorporated in the initial resource calculation.

MASATO GOLD DEPOSIT

The Masato Gold Deposit is located 1.2 kilometres due east of Mineral Deposits Ltd.'s Sabodala Gold Deposits (total resource estimate of 45.5 million tonnes @ 1.88 g/t gold for 2,745,000 ounces) which MDL states is being readied for production in Q1 of 2009. The Masato Gold Deposit is defined by a strong gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly measuring a minimum of 2,600 metres in length by up to 1,200 metres in width. The northern portion of the Masato geochemical anomaly is currently limited by laterite cover which masks the geochemical results.

The Masato Gold Deposit is comprised of a series of closely-spaced northeast trending sub-parallel mineralized zones, dips moderately steeply to the west and remains open in both directions and to depth. Resource shells for Oromin's initial resource calculation at Masato were created based on mineralization identified by core and reverse circulation drilling on 40-metre and locally 20-metre centres over a 1,700 metre strike extent to an average depth of 250 metres.

Drilling to date at Masato has focused on delineating the bulk tonnage gold target at a drill spacing that confirms and extends the strike length and down dip potential of the zone as quickly and efficiently as possible. The intersection of higher grade mineralization (at surface and in drilling - 10 metres of 5.79 g/t Au in DH-293) suggests that, within the broader zone of mineralization at Masato, there are discrete zones/shoots of higher grade gold mineralization. Although delineating these zones is not the focus of the Masato drilling at present, further work will be undertaken to determine the full extent and distribution of the high grade gold mineralization. Understanding the nature and distribution of these zones high grade mineralization may have a significant impact on future resource estimates.

Oromin continues to aggressively drill at Masato with plans to drill the entire currently known 2,600 metre extent prior to the planned resource update.

Some of the most significant new results at Masato include:

CLOVERLEAF TARGET

An initial five-hole drilling program has begun at the Cloverleaf target situated southwest of the Golouma South deposit. The Cloverleaf target is defined by a 1,000-metre portion of the 3,000-metre Golouma South gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly. Excavator trenching results from the Cloverleaf target included 6.48 g/t gold over 7 metres.

Thus far, four holes have been completed at Cloverleaf, with all four intersecting favourable alteration, shearing, veining and mineralization appearing similar to that observed at both the Golouma South and Golouma West gold deposits. Two of the holes have intersected two very similar looking, sub-parallel altered-mineralized zones of considerable width. Based on this encouragement, we plan to re-enter and deepen the other two previously drilled holes to seek these second alteration zones. Results from the ongoing drilling at Cloverleaf will be presented in subsequent news releases as they become available.

Oromin is continuing its aggressive multi-drill program towards evaluating and expanding the known gold deposits as well as initial drill testing of numerous other gold targets throughout the Property.

Data compilation and interpretations are currently on track towards calculating updates to the initial resource evaluation; the first in Q4 2008 and the next in early 2009.

Doug Turnbull, P. Geo., a "qualified person" for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101, has verified the data disclosed in this news release. TSL Laboratories in Saskatoon carried out all assaying under industry-standard QA/QC procedures.

Oromin also reports that it has, subject to regulatory approval, reduced the exercise price of 4,231,450 share purchase warrants issued as part of a unit private placement on December 7, 2006 (the "Warrants") from $2.20 per share to $1.22 per share.

In accordance with TSX Venture Exchange policy, the expiry date of the Warrants will be accelerated to shorten the exercise period to a period of 30 days if, for ten consecutive trading days (the "Premium Trading Days"), the closing price of Oromin's common shares exceeds the revised exercise price by the applicable Private Placement discount, or in this case $1.46. The 30 day period will commence seven calendar days after the tenth Premium Trading Day. In the event that the expiry date is not accelerated, the Warrants will expire on the original expiry date of December 7, 2008.

[Industry Bulletin] INDUSTRY BULLETIN: Gold equities are oversold, TD says

05 Sep 2008 14:18:18 GMT

While gold prices have had a tough time lately, they continue to dramatically outperform the gold equities. The stocks have been in a dreadful tailspin since July, and are showing almost no signs of life.

Part of this is nothing new — the equities have almost always underperformed the gold price in recent years. But as TD Newcrest analyst Greg Barnes points out, they now trade at levels not seen since August 2007, when the price of gold was in the mid-US$600s per ounce.

"Effectively, the entire late 2007/early 2008 rally in gold stocks has been erased," Mr. Barnes wrote in a note to clients. He attributed it to a few logical factors: the recent correction in prices, rising operating costs, and lowered production guidance from several of the large-cap companies.

His view is that the equities are currently factoring in gold prices of between US$600 and US$700 an ounce. Given that gold currently trades above US$800 an ounce, he figures they are oversold.

"While it is difficult to predict the short-term direction of the gold price in the context of this market, for gold exposure we would recommend owning large-cap gold equities with low costs and production growth," he wrote. He singled out Goldcorp Inc. and Yamana Gold Inc. as top picks.

[Press Release] NEWS - Oromin Expands Gold Mineralization at Established Deposits and Upgrades Multiple Exploration Targets at Sabodala

06 Aug 2008 09:01:00 GMT

Oromin strongly positioned in emerging gold district of Eastern Senegal

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - (Aug. 6, 2008) - Oromin Explorations Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:OLE)(OTCBB:OLEPF) ("Oromin"), on behalf of the Oromin Joint Venture Group ("OJVG"), is pleased to report that recent drilling has expanded mineralization at three established gold deposits and upgraded multiple, highly prospective exploration targets at the OJVG Sabodala Project situated in an emerging gold district of eastern Senegal.

The Masato, Golouma West and Golouma South deposits host an initial NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource of 25.2 million tonnes grading 1.73 g/t gold, for 1.40 million ounces of contained gold (see July 24/2008 news release and 3-D models at www.oromin.com), based on 85,000 metres of drilling. This estimate does not include subsequent drilling - now in excess of 140 holes - that has expanded gold mineralization at these three advanced open-pit deposits, which all remain open for further expansion on-trend and at depth. The most recent highlights include:

- 9 metres of 7.77 g/t gold in DH-245 at Golouma South;

- 10 metres of 5.89 g/t gold in DH-247 at Golouma South;

- 19 metres of 3.45 g/t gold in RC-384 at Masato;

- 14 metres of 3.64 g/t gold and 28 metres of 2.56 g/t gold in DH-279 at Masato.

As operator of the OJVG, Oromin is continuing an aggressive core and reverse circulation drilling program at the 230-square-kilometer concession. In addition to many new results from drilling beyond the resource shells depicted in the 3-D models, initial drill-testing of multiple exploration targets has returned favorable results that warrant follow-up drilling to assess their ultimate potential.

"The initial resource estimate for Golouma West, Golouma South and Masato provide an excellent anchor for ongoing programs to establish further resources at the Sabodala Project," states Chet Idziszek, President. "We look forward to resource updates in Q4 2008 and early 2009, leading to a planned pre-feasibility study that year. Early-stage work on the pre-feasibility study is already under way."

Oromin believes the Sabodala region will become a major West African gold camp, and notes with interest several recent announcements by neighbouring operators. Mineral Deposits Limited (MDL) is constructing an open-pit mine, expected to produce 168,000 ounces of gold starting in 2009, at a concession entirely surrounded by the OJVG ground. Randgold Resources has reported a significant new gold discovery, described by Randgold's CEO, Mark Bristow as "potentially a multi-million-ounce project," at its adjacent Massawa Project south of the OJVG ground. The potential strike lengths and depth potential reported by Randgold (July 31/2008 news release) provide further evidence of the significant potential of this eastern Senegal gold camp.

"We regard our initial NI 43-101 report as simply the starting point for the work we intend to carry out at Sabodala," states Chet Idziszek. "The recent announcements by other operators further support our view that this region will become a major African gold camp."

MASATO GOLD DEPOSIT

The Masato Gold Deposit is defined by a strong gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly measuring a minimum of 2,600 metres in length by up to 1,200 metres in width. The northern portion of the Masato geochemical anomaly is currently limited by laterite cover which masks the geochemical results. The Masato Gold Deposit is located 1.2 kilometres due east of Mineral Deposits Ltd's Sabodala Gold Deposits (total resource estimate of 45.5 million tonnes @ 1.88 g/t gold for 2,745,000 ounces) that is being readied for production in Q1 of 2009 (MDL's May 2008 Corporate Update et al).

Oromin's Masato Gold Deposit comprises a series of closely-spaced northeast trending sub-parallel mineralized zones, dips moderately steeply to the west and remains open in both directions and to depth. Resource shells for Oromin's initial resource calculation at Masato were created based on mineralization identified by core and reverse circulation drilling on 40-metre and locally 20-metre centres over a 1,700 metre strike extent to an average depth of 250 metres.

By far, the greatest majority of recent results are from Masato where drilling now extends to in excess of 2,000 metres with nearly double the number of holes completed beyond the 146 utilized in the initial resource calculation. Many of these new results and current drill holes comprise step-out holes along trend, to depth and locally up-dip where near surface mineralization was not incorporated in the initial resource calculation.

Oromin continues to aggressively drill at Masato with plans to drill its entire minimum 2,600 metre extent prior to the planned resource update.

Some of the most significant new results at Masato include:

GOLOUMA WEST DEPOSIT

The Golouma West Deposit mineralization has now been traced for over 1,500 metres on surface and locally in excess of 300-metre depth and remains open in all directions. Resource shells for Oromin's initial resource calculation at Golouma West were created based on mineralization identified by core and reverse circulation drilling on 20-metre and 40-metre centres over a 1,000-metre extent to an average depth of 250 to 300 metres.

Although the majority of recent drilling has been focused at Masato, some drilling continues at Golouma West.

------------------------------------------------

GOLOUMA SOUTH DEPOSIT

The Golouma South Deposit is centred within a distinct 3-kilometre long, northeast trending, gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly partially drill-tested over a 1,065-metre strike extent, of which resource drilling (20-metre and 40-metre centres) has so far concentrated on only a 450-metre portion. Resource shells for Oromin's initial resource calculation at Golouma South were created based on mineralization identified over this 450 metre extent to an average depth of 250 metres.

Although the majority of recent drilling has been focused at Masato, some drilling continues at Golouma South.

EXPLORATION TARGETS

Oromin has begun the drill-testing program at several of the numerous exploration targets beyond the Masato, Golouma West and Golouma South gold deposits. All of these exploration targets were identified by geochemical results from soil sampling and subsequent trench sampling - the same methodology which led to the discoveries at Masato and Golouma. Oromin plans to aggressively evaluate all of these exploration targets further, in addition to the previously drilled Kobokoto, Niakafiri and Maki Medina and other as-yet-undrilled exploration targets identified to date including Korolo, Cloverleaf, Maleko and Kinemba. The following table outlines the most significant new results from these recently drilled zones as well as re-stating certain previous results from Kobokoto, Niakafiri and Maki Medina, for a more complete portrayal of the resource picture emerging.

[Press Release] NEWS - Oromin Explorations Ltd.: Initial Open Pit Resource Estimate for the First Three Deposits at Sabodala Totals 1.40 Million Ounces Gold

24 Jul 2008 09:03:00 GMT

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -(July 24, 2008) - Oromin Explorations Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:OLE)(OTCBB:OLEPF) -

- Resource shells included only to average depths of 150 to 200 metres

- Significant on-trend and to-depth potential continues to be drilled

- Subsequent drilling expands deposits and confirms new discoveries

- Pre-feasibility study to follow resource updates in Q4 2008 and early 2009

- Preliminary metallurgical tests confirm high gold recoveries

Oromin Explorations ("Oromin") reports that it has received an initial NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate prepared by SRK Consulting (Canada) Ltd. ("SRK") (the "SRK Report") for the three most advanced gold deposits defined to date at the OJVG Sabodala Gold Project in eastern Senegal. Based on approximately 85,000 metres of drilling at 20 to 40-metre centres in 555 holes (to May 2008), inferred resources at the Masato, Golouma West and Golouma South Deposits total 25.2 million tonnes grading 1.73 grams per tonne gold for 1.40 million ounces of contained gold.

Oromin President, Chet Idziszek, stated, "This first resource estimate provides an initial snapshot of the ultimate potential of the Sabodala Project. We expect increases to the resource base in the fourth quarter of 2008 and early in 2009, based on our ongoing aggressive drilling programs throughout this period, estimated to total a further 100,000 metres. This drilling will focus on the on-strike and to-depth potential at the three zones reported, based on demonstrated geological evidence, and also on the 14 additional zones established to date, none of which are part of the SRK Report."

"As evidence for this potential, note the excellent subsequent drill results at the Golouma West, Golouma South and Masato deposits, which are not included in the resources reported above, and also note the encouraging drill results at four new discoveries confirmed at Goumbati, Sabodala North, Niakafiri and Sekoto."

All three deposits remain open to expansion both along strike and to depth. The estimated resource for the Golouma South deposit utilizes only a 400-metre strike length of the 1,065-metres drilled thus far of a 3,000-metre long gold geochemical anomaly. The Golouma West deposit has been traced over a minimum 1,500-metre length of which only a combined strike extent of 1,000 metres is incorporated into the current resource study. Similarly at Masato, the resource estimation has taken into account only a 1,700-metre strike extent whereas this deposit has now been drilled along a 2,000-metre length of this 2,600-metre long gold geochemical anomaly.

The SRK report focused only on the three most advanced deposits of seventeen known gold targets discovered to date within the 230-square-kilometre concession (please refer to the attached map). The independent report does not include subsequent drilling in approximately 130 additional drill holes that have since expanded and returned continued excellent results from the Golouma West, Golouma South and Masato deposits. Highlights from this recent drilling include:

- 11 metres of 2.82 g/t gold in DH-240 at Golouma West

- 14 metres of 2.07 g/t gold in DH-255 at Golouma West

- 9 metres of 7.77 g/t gold in DH-245 at Golouma South

- 10 metres of 5.89 g/t gold in DH-247 at Golouma South

- 22 metres of 3.81 g/t gold in DH242 at Masato

- 14 metres of 3.64 g/t gold and 28 metres of 2.56 g/t gold in DH-279 at Masato

- 14 metres of 2.73 g/t gold in RC-319 at Masato

- 7 metres of 4.60 g/t gold in RC-329 at Masato

- 27 metres of 1.93 g/t gold in RC-333 at Masato

Meanwhile, initial drilling of mineralized targets outside the scope of the SRK report has begun at Goumbati, Sabodala North, Niakafiri and Sekoto targets. Highlights from results available to-date include:

- 3 metres of 2.58 g/t gold in DH-252 at Goumbati

- 6 metres of 2.22 g/t gold in DH-260 at Sabodala North

- 6 metres of 1.65 g/t gold in RC-371 at Niakafiri

- 17 metres of 1.15 g/t gold in RC-363 at Sekoto

- 5 metres of 2.09 g/t gold in RC-364 at Sekoto

A preliminary feasibility study scheduled to follow in early 2009 will include additional metallurgical testing to confirm preliminary tests demonstrating high gold recoveries - 93% at Masato, 90% at Golouma West and 88% at Golouma South - and very low reagent consumption (0.2 to 0.4 kg/tonne for cyanide and 0.9 to 1.2 kg/tonne for lime). It is anticipated that additional testwork will optimize and increase recoveries further.

[Press Release] NEWS - Oromin Announces Prospective Oil Resources at Its Santa Rosa Prospect in Argentina

09 Jul 2008 09:07:00 GMT

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA-(July 9, 2008) - Oromin Explorations Ltd. ("Oromin" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:OLE)(OTCBB:OLEPF) is pleased to announce the receipt of an independent report (the "Santa Rosa Evaluation") from Aeon Exploration Inc. of Calgary, Alberta ("Aeon") that provides an evaluation of prospective resources with respect to its 100% owned CCyB-9 Santa Rosa exploration permit and exploitation concession on a property located in the Cuyana Basin in the Province of Mendoza, Argentina. The independent report concludes that the unrisked probabilistic recoverable oil resource potential for the Santa Rosa project ranges from 45,167,000 barrels of oil to 380,800,000 barrels of oil, and sets out 131,564,000 barrels of oil as the most likely amount of recoverable resources on the prospect. The Company emphasizes that the Santa Rosa project is a wildcat prospect, and the top of the dome structure target has not been drilled.

Summary of Santa Rosa Evaluation

The Santa Rosa Evaluation is authored by three independent consultants of Aeon: Robert O. Potter, P. Geol., Kenneth J. Drummond, P. Geol., and Andrew M. Ilnycky, P.Eng., all registered in the Province of Alberta. The report has been prepared in accordance with Sections 5.9 and 5.10 of National Instrument 51-101, and is based upon the authors' review of technical data including geology, geophysics and reservoir parameters.

The report also provides an economic evaluation, presented in the form of net operating income and net cash flow over the expected 25 year life of the hydrocarbon rights. Numerous scenarios are presented, using discount rates ranging from 0% to 20%. Using a discount rate of 10%, the report estimates net present values ranging from $764.4 million to $6,542.3 million, and sets out $2,305.0 million as the most likely NPV. (All dollar amounts in the report and this release are in U.S. dollars.) The NPV amounts are unrisked net present values of probabilistic recoverable oil resources. The economic analyses were conducted using the price of $42 per barrel, which is a capped price currently in effect under Argentinean regulations. In accordance with Section 5.6 of NI 51-101, the Company declares that the estimated values disclosed do not represent fair market value.

Norman Haimila, Ph.D., director and VP Explorations - Petroleum of the Company, stated, "This robust valuation of the prospective resources at the Santa Rosa Block strongly encourages Oromin to drill the necessary wells to test the prospect in a rapid time frame. We are working closely with government and industry participants in Mendoza towards drilling up to three test wells, which we expect to take place in the first quarter of 2009."

The evaluation of resources for non-producing oil prospects is a complex engineering task. The full Santa Rosa Evaluation is available on the Company's website www.oromin.com and filed on SEDAR. We recommend that readers refer to the Santa Rosa Evaluation in its entirety. On our website, the report is at "Investors/Articles and Reports". We have prepared a summary of the key assumptions which have been applied to the technical data in the report in Appendix A on page 4 of this news release. Readers are also referred to Appendix B - Glossary of Technical and Other Terms and to the Cautionary Statement on page 5 of this release.

The resources described in the Santa Rosa Evaluation and in this release are "undiscovered resources" as defined in the COGE Handbook. Undiscovered Resources are defined as those quantities of oil and gas estimates on a given date to be contained in accumulations yet to be discovered. The estimate of the potentially recoverable portions of undiscovered resources is classified as prospective resources. Prospective resources are defined as those quantities of oil and gas estimated on a given date to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations. They are technically viable and economic to recover.

In accordance with Section 5.9 of NI 51-101, the Company declares that there is no certainty that any portion of these resources will be discovered. If discovered, there is no certainty that it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources.

Summary of the Santa Rosa Dome Prospect

The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary Exploraciones Oromin SA holds its interest in the permit and the exploitation concession pursuant to Decree 1018/2008 of the Province of Mendoza, issued on May 2, 2008 (the "Decree"). The Santa Rosa CCyB-9 Block is covered by the Decree for the exploration for hydrocarbons comprising 7,694 km2 situated over the Santa Rosa Dome centered around latitude 33 degrees 15' South and longitude 67 degrees 40' West, extending from 52 km to 130 km east of the city of Mendoza, and approximately 100 km north from the River Tunuyan, in the Province of Mendoza, Argentina (the "Santa Rosa Dome Prospect" or "Santa Rosa Block").

The Santa Rosa Block is situated on the gentle eastern slope of the Andes. The western side of the block is approximately 600 meters above sea level. Local elevations only vary about 10 meters over fairly large areas. Most of the block consists of scrub brush covering low stabilized dune fields. The block is located on the east side of the Cuyana Basin, a geological district of approximately 161,000 km2, which exhibits maximum sediment thickness of 4,000 to 4,500 meters.

The western portion of the Cuyana Basin exhibits two north-south trending productive anticlines with 18 established oil pools which have produced 1,287 million barrels of oil to December 31, 2003. This oil is interpreted to have been sourced from "kitchens" associated with the Cacheuta formation.

The geological model which forms the basis for the prospectivity of the Santa Rosa Dome Prospect hypothesizes that hydrocarbons generated to the east of the axis of the depocentre of the Cuyana Basin would have migrated east from the kitchen into a large regional arch and dome between the Cuyana and San Luis Basin - that is, onto the Santa Rosa Block. Hydrocarbons could be structurally and stratigraphically trapped along the western flank and on the crest of the Santa Rosa Dome.

The geological model is supported by seismic evidence and test well results. Seismic evidence includes 1) 1,129 km of regional two-dimensional seismic acquired by YPF in the early 1980's forming a regional grid approximately 20 km by 20 km over most of the block and a more closely spaced grid approximately 3 km by 3 km over the southwest corner of the block, and 2) four lines of two-dimensional seismic data acquired, processed and interpreted by Oromin in 2001 and 2002.

Test well evidence includes one well, the Jaguel la Esperanza x-4, drilled in 1963 by YPF to total depth 2,031 meters along the southern boundary of the block, and, on the Santa Rosa Block itself, two wells drilled by Chauvco Resources Ltd.; 1) the Santa Rosa Este x-1001 drilled in 1994 to total depth 1,376 meters, and 2) the Santa Rosa x-2 drilled in 1995 to a total depth of 2,078 meters. Single mud log hydrocarbon gas shows were recorded in both the SR Este x-1001 and the SR x-2 wells. Both hydrocarbon shows could be related to migration from the kitchen, located to the west, eastward into the Santa Rosa Block.

Based on interpretation of regional and local geology, of the seismic evidence, and of the test well evidence, the geological model sets out the potential for multiple types of stratigraphic and structural hydrocarbon traps. Seismic and well data also indicate that some of the reservoir rocks which are oil-producing in the west side of the Cuyana Basin are present in the dome structure on the Santa Rosa Block in the east side of the basin.

Exploration risk

The Santa Rosa Evaluation provides a discussion assessing the probability of geological success in undertaking a test well program on the Santa Rosa Dome Prospect. The risk factors in assessing the probability are associated with source rock risk, migration risk, reservoir rock risk, closure risk, and containment risk, each of which are discussed in the Santa Rosa Evaluation. A negative outcome from any one of, or a combination of, these risk factors has the potential for a failure to discover economic concentrations of hydrocarbons. The report states, among numerous other matters, "The most significant risk to the play is the identification of a drillable closure due to the limited amount of seismic data. The closure probability could be significantly improved by additional technical data bases - gravity, aeromagnetics, satellite imaging, surface geochemistry and/or seismic."

Drilling plan for 2009

The Company has commenced environmental reviews, has completed satellite imagery, and is otherwise engaged in upgrading the technical data bases as described in "Exploration risk" above. This further includes seeking to obtain certain additional seismic data believed to exist with government agencies, and plans to conduct limited additional geophysical/seismic studies on the Company's own account, all preparatory for establishing definitive locations for up to three test wells expected to be drilled in the first quarter of 2009.

The preceding summaries of the Santa Rosa Dome Prospect and of the Exploration Risk are by their nature abbreviated summaries only, of the much more extensive technical description contained in the Santa Rosa Evaluation. We recommend that readers refer to the Santa Rosa Evaluation in its entirety. Readers are also referred to Appendix A - Summary of Key Assumptions, to Appendix B - Glossary of Technical and Other Terms, and to the Cautionary Statement on page 5 of this release.

Letter of Intent with Otto Energy Limited

As disclosed in the Company's regulatory filings since 2005, Otto Energy Limited ("Otto"), a public company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, executed a Letter of Intent with the Company which enables it to earn up to a 41.24% working interest in the Santa Rosa Dome Prospect, in two stages, by the expenditure by Otto of a total of US$ 2,297,381. Otto's participation is subject to the completion of legal and financial due diligence to Otto's satisfaction, and to the settlement and execution of a joint venture agreement respecting the project. Each of these pre-conditions is currently under way. Otto's expenditure would be applied towards the programs referred to above under "Drilling plan for 2009".

[Press Release] NEWS - Oromin Adopts Shareholder Rights Plan

27 Jun 2008 09:15:00 GMT

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - (June 27, 2008) - Oromin Explorations Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:OLE)(OTCBB:OLEPF) is pleased to report that its Board of Directors has adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan. The objective of the Plan is to ensure that all shareholders of Oromin are treated equally and fairly in connection with any takeover bid for Oromin. The Plan is not intended to block takeover bids, but will discourage discriminatory or unfair takeover tactics and provide the Board of Directors sufficient time to fully evaluate a takeover offer and pursue alternatives to maximize shareholder value. The Plan is similar to many plans adopted by other Canadian companies. Oromin is not aware of any pending or threatened takeover bid for its shares.

In order to implement the Plan, the Board has authorized the issue, effective today, of one right in respect of each outstanding common share of Oromin. Until the occurrence of certain events, the rights will trade with the common shares and be represented by the certificates for the common shares.

On the occurrence of certain triggering events, including the acquisition by a person or group of 20% or more of the outstanding common shares of Oromin in a transaction not approved by the directors, the rights will entitle holders (other than the acquiring person or group) to acquire shares of Oromin having a market value of $40 for $20, ie. a 50% discount to the prevailing market price. The rights will not be triggered, however, by purchases of common shares of Oromin made under a "permitted bid". A permitted bid is a takeover bid made for all shares to all holders of common shares of Oromin on identical terms, which also complies with certain other conditions, including a requirement that it remain open for at least 60 days.

Although the Plan is effective immediately, it is subject to a shareholder confirmation at the 2008 Annual and Special Meeting to be held July 29, 2008. Once confirmed by shareholders the Plan will be operative for a ten year term.

- INITIAL NI 43-101 COMPLIANT MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE BY SRK SCHEDULED FOR END OF JUNE

- INITIAL DRILLING STARTED AT SABODALA NORTH, SEKOTO, GOUMBATI, NIAKAFIRI SOUTHEAST/NIAKAFIRI SOUTHWEST TARGETS.

Oromin Explorations Ltd. ("Oromin") is pleased to announce additional results from the ongoing step-out and in-fill drilling program at the Golouma West, Golouma South and Masato Gold Deposits. SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. are undertaking a NI 43-101compliant inferred mineral resource estimate for these three deposits scheduled for completion and delivery the last week of June.

Currently, six drill rigs are involved in Oromin's 140,000 metre, 2008 drilling program focused on resource definition and delineation of the Sabodala project's numerous gold zones and deposits. Results from the ongoing property-wide exploration program continue to support Oromin's model of multiple gold deposits within the Sabodala Exploration Licence.

GOLOUMA SOUTH GOLD DEPOSIT

The Golouma South gold deposit is centred within a distinct 3-kilometre northeast trending gold geochemical anomaly that forms the southeast boundary of the extensive (2.0 km x 3.5 km) Golouma gold geochemical anomaly complex.

Our reverse circulation and diamond core drilling results continue to expand mineralization, now successfully drilled over a 1,065 metre strike extent, which ranges from the southernmost hole RC-265, which returned 12.62 g/t gold over 5 metres, to the Northeast portion of the deposit where RC-268 returned 7.40 g/t gold over 5 metres and 13.08 g/t gold over 6 metres. Resource drilling to date (at 40-metre and 20-metre centres) has concentrated along 450 metres of the "main zone" area located between 3+75S and 0+75N. Some of the most significant new results at Golouma South include:

Drill Hole    From (m)   Interval (m)   Gold (g/t)

DH-235            173              7         6.29

GOLOUMA WEST GOLD DEPOSIT

The Golouma West Gold Deposit mineralization has now been traced over 1,500 metres on surface, and locally to over 300 metres at depth and remains open in all directions. Oromin is currently drilling this deposit over a one kilometre extent, on 40-metre and locally 20-metre centres using both reverse circulation and diamond core rigs.

The results continue to expand mineralization. Grade and thickness correlations continue to be excellent both along strike and to depth. Some of the most significant new results at Golouma West include:

Drill Hole   From (m)   Interval (m)   Gold (g/t)
-------------------------------------------------
DH-223           102              9         5.52

DH-239           161              4        13.02

MASATO GOLD DEPOSIT

The Masato Gold Deposit is defined by a strong gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly 2.6 kilometres in length by up to 1.2 kilometres in width and by surface trenching. It is located 1.2 kilometres due east of Mineral Deposits Ltd.'s gold deposit (2.01 million ounces of measured and indicated resources at 2.2 g/t gold) that is being readied for production in the fourth quarter of 2008 (See MDL's April 18, 2008 news release).

The Masato deposit trends northeast and dips moderately steeply to the west. It is currently being shallow drilled (up to -200 metre depth) on 40-metre and locally 20-metre centres over a 1.42 kilometre strike extent. This deposit remains open in both directions and at depth.

Some of the most significant new results at Masato include:

OTHER GOLD TARGETS

In recent weeks, Oromin has begun drill-testing its other significant gold targets. Each of these gold targets has returned excellent initial trench results similar to the initial trench results at Golouma West and Golouma South prior to Oromin's early drilling success there. In addition to soil geochemistry and trenching, Oromin is utilizing a recently completed High-Resolution Induced Polarization geophysical survey to assist with drill targeting.

To date, Oromin has completed five holes at Goumbati West, two holes at Sabodala North, six holes at Sekoto and five holes at the Niakafiri Southeast/Niakafiri Southwest targets. The Niakafiri Southeast/Niakafiri Southwest targets are immediate on-trend extensions to Oromin's Maki Medina target area where previous limited drilling returned up to 2.69 g/t gold over 12 metres in DH-75. In addition, Oromin has initiated the drill-testing of two sub-parallel IP anomalies to the east of the Masato deposit. Results are pending for all the foregoing drill holes.

The following table outlines initial trenching results from some of Oromin's many outside exploration targets:

[Press Release] NEWS - Oromin Explorations Ltd.: Update on SRK Resource Study and Santa Rosa Prospect

14 May 2008 18:07:00 GMT

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - (May 14, 2008) - Oromin Explorations Ltd. ("Oromin") (TSX VENTURE:OLE)(OTCBB:OLEPF) has been informed by SRK Consulting (Canada) ("SRK") that due to continuing industry-wide delays and data backlog, the resource study results for the Sabodala Gold Project in Senegal, West Africa, previously scheduled for the end of May will now be completed by the end of June. For example, in excess of 100 drill holes have been drilled at the Masato deposit and publicly released since the original cut-off for the Masato mineral resource estimation, and this Masato data still requires input into the SRK study. These drill holes will contribute significantly to the current definition of the Masato deposit. SRK is undertaking a NI 43-101 compliant inferred mineral resource estimate including preliminary metallurgical test results for three of the gold deposits at Sabodala - Golouma South, Golouma West and Masato. Oromin is the operator of the Sabodala Gold Project, held by Oromin Joint Venture Group Limited.

Oromin is continuing extension drilling on all three deposits - both along trend and to depth. In addition, we have started initial drill testing of numerous other significant targets. Drilling has begun on the Goumbati and Sabodala North targets, and will begin at the Sekoto target by May 18th, followed by the Niakafiri and Maki Medina targets.

At Oromin's 100% owned Santa Rosa oil prospect in Argentina, the company is formulating a detailed exploration program focused on its 220 km2 shallow dome structure. This prospect is located within a large 7,694 km2 concession in the oil prolific Cuyana Basin in the Province of Mendoza. Oromin acquired the final permit to proceed with exploration and development on May 2nd. The plan is to start drilling as soon as practical within the next 12 months. Otto Energy Limited has an option to earn up to 41.24% interest in the property by expending US$2,297,381.

In addition, Oromin announces that it has granted stock options to consultants, directors and officers entitling the purchase of up to 250,000 shares of Oromin under its Stock Option Plan. The options are exercisable at a price of $3.00 per share until May 14, 2013. The grant of these options is subject to regulatory approval.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of OROMIN EXPLORATIONS LTD.

- INITIAL NI 43-101 COMPLIANT MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE BY SRK SCHEDULED FOR END OF MAY

Oromin Explorations Ltd. ("Oromin") is pleased to announce additional results from the ongoing step-out and in-fill drilling program at the Golouma West, Golouma South and Masato Gold Deposits. SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. are undertaking a NI 43-101 compliant inferred mineral resource estimate for these three deposits scheduled for completion at the end of May.

Currently, six drill rigs are involved in the aggressive drilling activities at Sabodala to accelerate the pace of Oromin's 140,000 metre 2008 drilling program focused on resource definition and delineation of Sabodala Exploration concession's numerous gold zones and deposits. Drilling will be directed at both known and newly outlined gold deposits at depth and along trend, as well as initial evaluation of all remaining significant targets established within the concession. Results from the ongoing property-wide exploration program continue to support Oromin's model of multiple gold deposits within the Sabodala Exploration Licence.

GOLOUMA SOUTH GOLD DEPOSIT

The Golouma South gold deposit is centred within a 3-kilometre northeast trending gold geochemical anomaly that flanks the southeast side of the extensive Golouma gold geochemical complex of anomalies.

Our reverse circulation and diamond core drilling results continue to expand mineralization, now successfully drilled over a 1,065 metre strike extent, which ranges from the southernmost hole RC-265, which returned 12.62 g/t gold over 5 metres, to the Golouma Northeast portion of the deposit where RC-268 returned 7.40 g/t gold over 5 metres and 13.08 g/t gold over 6 metres. Resource drilling at 40 and 20-metre centres has concentrated along 450 metres of the "main zone" area located between 3+75S and 0+75N. Some of the most significant new results at Golouma South include:

The Golouma West Gold Deposit has now been traced over 1,500 metres on surface, to over 300 metres at depth and remains open in all directions. Oromin is drilling this deposit on 40-metre, and locally 20-metre centres using both reverse circulation and diamond core rigs.

The results continue to expand mineralization. Grade and thickness correlations continue to be excellent both along strike as well as to depth, as exemplified by RC-228 which returned a 13-metre interval grading 3.25 g/t gold contained within a much broader mineralized interval of 1.91 g/t gold over 35 metres from 269-304 metres. These results compare favourably with previously released core holes, DH-169 (3.49 g/t gold over 13 metres from 277-290 metres), DH-180 (4.97 g/t gold over 6 metres from 245-251 metres and 1.65 g/t gold over 16 metres from 270-286 metres) and DH-181 (2.26 g/t gold over 16 metres from 306-322 metres). DH-169, 180 and 181 are the deepest holes for which results are available in the central portion of the deposit. An additional tier of deeper holes is now underway to test the down-dip and down-plunge extension to these encouraging results. Some of the most significant new results at Golouma West include:

MASATO GOLD DEPOSIT

The Masato Gold Deposit is defined by a strong gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly 2.6 kilometres in length by up to 1.2 kilometres in width and by surface trenching. It is located 1.2 kilometres due east of MDL's gold deposit (2.01 million ounces of measured and indicated resources at 2.2 g/t gold) that is being readied for production in the fourth quarter of 2008 (See MDL's April 18, 2008 news release).

The Masato deposit trends northeast and dips moderately steeply to the west. It is currently being shallow drilled (up to -200 metre depth) on 40-metre and locally 20-metre centres over a 1.42 kilometre strike extent - as defined by new drill holes RC-208 and 209 on line 3+00S and DH-279 and 280 on line 11+20N - and remains open in both directions.

Some of the most significant new results at Masato include:

[Industry Bulletin] Depressed About Gold Shares, Especially Juniors?

28 Apr 2008 15:01:00 GMT

Author: Jim Sinclair

Dear CIGAs,

Nothing happens by chance! Please consider the following:

An excerpt from the below Reuters article:

"Small and medium-sized miners and juniors who are still in the exploration stage, are the easiest targets for bigger companies, but the acquisitions wave won't likely stop there, THEY SAID.”

Why is it that amongst companies active in minerals, it is primarily and almost only precious metals shares that are under severe selling pressure?

Why is it that companies active in other mined products or co-products as below have their shares in major demand?

Did gold not rise from $248 to a high of $1033, yet even then the hammer was being applied to gold shares, especially those that hold the potential and promise of new production, as production declines?

Is there not a glaring example of a mined product in the form of potash this week? Did not an IPO in a mining company specializing in potash used as a fertilizer open up above its issue price by 58%?

Chemically, potash consists of potassium carbonate, but also might contain potassium oxide or potassium chloride, depending on how pure you consider the mixture. Usually, potash takes the form of powdery salts. Modern methods of extraction almost all rely upon deposits mined from ores, like sylvanite.

Nowadays our potash comes from mining and goes toward inorganic fertilizer rich in potassium.

Why are other mining entities acting so well, especially those with the following significant products:

Antimony
Beryllium
Cadmium
Chromium
Cobalt
Manganese
PGMs
Rhodium
Tungsten
Vanadium

How about simple iron ore and all those involved in all the criteria of exploration and development of crude oil? That is an extractive industry as is precious metals mining.

Your answer may be that gold is different but it is not. You might say others think that gold has topped, but it hasn’t.

The stimulants economically are the same for potash, iron ore and the other items listed above as it is for gold. It is the growth in Asia, the consequences of the effort to maintain the social order as the financial order implodes, and the condition of the US dollar.

Nothing happens by chance but for argument sake lets call it an opportunity to be seized. Many junior gold companies are so depressed that they are worth more dead than alive.

Gold and other metals shares are depressed so that they are selling well below their “Asset Vale.”

Asset Value is something that 3.7 generations have not taken into consideration where price is concerned. You may recall that I suggested to you that one major company would consolidate the industry. Keep that concept in mind. Major gold producers are in need of new production. This is FACT.

South African companies are in need of major projects OUTSIDE of the RSA. For the RSA gold producer there is no expansion of reserves in RSA because, even if they have it, they cannot produce it as the energy situation is already stressed beyond demand. This is a long-term problem unfortunately.

The major consolidator of the Gold mining industry may have gotten too greedy in waiting for future reserve properties to become ever cheaper and cheaper for acquisition or joint venture.

The game being played by design or serendipity is to depress the juniors or to take advantage of the decline in the juniors as a result of the poor share price action through starving the junior or explorer of financing.

Depressing the price of the shares of most junior situations results in starving precious metals juniors of financing and their shareholders would be ripe for a bid for the company at a price much lower then their highs when gold was at $600. It may also make the smaller company eager to make deals at less than advantageous conditions for their investors.

The key here is that the gold producing industry is in need of new resources as present resources are depleting. That is fact about which there is no question whatsoever.

It is much cheaper to pick up a property or entire company in a financially stressed condition because it cannot publicly finance for continued operation.

Let’s call the situation the taking advantage of a serendipitous development. To others it looks like the consolidators are holding a smoking gun. The weakness in this strategy is the advent of new competition for minerals internationally, primarily from Asia and the Middle East.

The Saudis and the Chinese are actively looking for mineral prospects from industrial to precious metals, from strategic metals and material to rare earths and beach sands, having publicly said so at top executive levels.

The major industry consolidators now have competition from companies with more liquidity and NO need for debt to take any property to production.

The advent of this new competition may well trump the western companies some feel are holding the smoking guns.

This competition from Asia and the Middle East may accelerate the consolidator, whose timing is a greed driven desire to get properties so cheap they might be considered free, to move sooner than later.

To call attention to the factual nature of this analysis please read the following article posted here April 11th this year regarding the stated interest of a major Chinese company given publicly at a recent professional mining conference and quoted therein.

Please note the all-important statement given by a top executive of the Chinese company:

"Small and medium-sized miners and juniors who are still in the exploration stage, are the easiest targets for bigger companies, but the acquisitions wave won't likely stop there, THEY SAID."

[Industry Bulletin] INDUSTRY BULLETIN: AGORACOM Interview: Jim Sinclair Issues $1,000,000 Challenge To All Gold Bears

08 Apr 2008 17:07:00 GMT

Dear OLE Shareholders,

In our ongoing efforts to provide market information and/or commentary, we are pleased to provide you, with Industry Sector Bulletins discussing current market opinions and/or conditions that affect the price, use and supply & demand of Gold.

AGORACOM Interview: Jim Sinclair Issues $1,000,000 Challenge To All Gold Bears

Good afternoon to you all. The title is neither a mistake, nor a gimmick. Jim Sinclair, whom the NY Times referred to as “perhaps the best-known gold speculator of his era”, has built a legendary reputation for his gold market calls since the 1970’s. For example:

In the 70’s he predicted that gold would hit a high of $900 (it hit $875)
Achieved his renown status when he sold 900,000 ounces of gold at an average price of $810 in early 1980, when gold was capping a decade-long bull market that commenced in 1971
Called for a 15-year bear market in gold (it lasted 21 years)
Has been a buyer of gold since it hit $250 in 2001
Predicted that gold would hit a high of $1,650 in this cycle, since 2003.

PYMWYMI - $1,000,000 Challenge

With gold now about 10% of its $1,030 high, gold bears are saying the party is over thanks to a recovering US financial sector. Jim thinks otherwise but rather than wasting time “flapping gums” he is exercising his right to PYMWYMI (Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is) and challenging any bear to do the same by laying $1,000,000 on the line.

It looks like Jim is specifically hunting for big game by targeting “any party on Bloomberg, CNBC or CNN Business“. I don’t know about you but I personally admire anybody who will man up and lay down that kind of money to back up his words. Right now, Jim Sinclair is the Muhammad Ali of the markets for going beyond plain predictions and providing specific details of his victory.

THE AGORACOM INTERVIEW

After first hearing about the wager on my friend Barry Ritholtz’s blog, I had to know more and decided to call Sinclair directly. We had never met before and he was reluctant at first to conduct any kind of interview, stating “I didn’t do this for publicity, just tell your audience about the wager”. No publicity? Now I couldn’t give up. After 10 minutes, I convinced him that my intent was not to glamorize the bet - but to uncover his reasoning behind his gold call. … I also told him I was 6′4, 240 lbs and had a great working knowledge of Google Maps, so he finally agreed.

I interviewed him this morning at 11:00 and discovered this was no conspiracy theory ladened gold bug. He was incredibly well reasoned and even sympathized with Ben Bernanke and his actions, however futile they may be. Yes, the sky is falling but he prefers it wasn’t happening. He isn’t cheering for gold to advance as a result of a crumbling US Dollar but his logic tells him it is simply a consequence of events and policy that started with Alan Greenspan.

I could put together a highlight list but it would not do Jim’s words any justice. This is one interview you have to listen to.

Having said that, I will provide you with one provocative morsel:

“What else is there to do? If they stepped away right now and let Bear Stearns go broke, the ramifications for the man walking on the street is he should walk straight to the soup kitchen.”

I look forward to your comments.

George

[Press Release] NEWS - Oromin Explorations Ltd.: Excellent Drilling Results Continue-Two Additional Drills Expected by Month End to Increase Pace of 140,000 Metre 2008 Resource Drilling Program

20 Mar 2008 19:43:00 GMT

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - (March 20, 2008) - Oromin Explorations Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:OLE)(OTCBB:OLEPF) -

HIGHLIGHTS

- LATEST DRILLING RESULTS CONTINUE TO EXPAND MINERALIZATION AT GOLOUMA SOUTH, MASATO AND GOLOUMA WEST INCLUDING:

- 18 metres of 8.41 g/t gold in RC-192 at Golouma South

- 19 metres of 8.83 g/t gold in RC-194 at Golouma South

- 27 metres of 3.47 g/t gold in DH-199 at Golouma West

- 8 metres of 14.57 g/t gold in DH-216 at Golouma West

- 30 metres of 3.33 g/t gold in RC-189 at Masato

- 23 metres of 6.47 g/t gold in RC-201 at Masato

- INITIAL NI 43-101 COMPLIANT INFERRED MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE BY SRK SCHEDULED FOR END OF MAY

Oromin Explorations Ltd. ("Oromin") is pleased to announce additional results from the ongoing step-out and in-fill drilling program at the Golouma West, Golouma South and Masato Gold Deposits. Currently, four drill rigs are involved in the aggressive drilling activities at Sabodala with two more drills contracted to also be drilling by month end which will accelerate the pace of Oromin's 140,000 metre 2008 resource drilling program.

Oromin has been informed by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. ("SRK") that the NI 43-101 compliant inferred mineral resource estimate will be delayed approximately one month to the end of May 2008 due to industry-wide delays SRK is experiencing with technical professionals and laboratories. As previously disclosed SRK has been engaged to complete baseline studies, metallurgical testwork and further resource updates and to begin a preliminary feasibility study during 2008.

Oromin's 2008 drilling program is focused on resource definition and delineation of Sabodala Exploration concession's numerous gold zones and deposits. Drilling will be directed at both known and newly outlined gold deposits at depth and along trend, as well as initial evaluation of all remaining significant targets established within the concession. Results from the ongoing property-wide exploration program continue to support Oromin's model of multiple gold deposits within the Sabodala Exploration Licence.

GOLOUMA SOUTH GOLD DEPOSIT

The Golouma South gold deposit is centred within a 3-kilometre northeast trending gold geochemical anomaly that flanks the southeast side of the extensive Golouma gold geochemical complex of anomalies.

Our reverse circulation and diamond core drilling results continue to expand mineralization. Some of the most significant new results at Golouma South include:

MASATO GOLD DEPOSIT

The Masato Gold Deposit is coincident with a strong gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly 2.6 kilometres in length by up to 1.2 kilometres in width and is located 1.2 kilometres due east of the 1.9 million ounce Sabodala Gold Deposit that is being readied for production by Mineral Deposits Ltd. (see Mineral Deposits Ltd. August 16, 2007 news release). The deposit also trends northeast and dips moderately steeply to the west. It is currently being drilled on 40-metre and locally 20-metre centres.

As reported in Oromin's last press release, the section-to-section continuity of near surface thicker mineralization continues at Masato. For example, RC-189 yielded 30 metres of 3.33 g/t gold. RC-201 yielded three thick and well-mineralized intervals: 23 metres grading 6.47 g/t gold, 20 metres grading 2.59 g/t gold and 16 metres grading 2.87 g/t gold.

Some of the most significant new results at Masato include:

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -(Feb. 4, 2008) - Oromin Explorations Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: OLE) (OTCBB: OLEPF) -

Sabodala 2008 Program and Objectives established and expanded to include

- 140,000 meters drilling

- Initial resource calculation in end of April

- Start of Prefeasibility Study

Continuing excellent assays from latest 2007 drill program

Highlights

- Latest 2007 drilling results expand mineralization at Golouma West, Golouma South and Masato Deposits including:

- 10 metres of 8.14 g/t gold in DH-174 at Golouma West

- 3 metres of 50.39 g/t gold in RC-170 at Golouma South

- 24 metres of 2.49 g/t gold in RC-166 at Masato

- Detailed sampling at undrilled 1km long Niakafiri Southwest Target outlines highest grade soil anomaly to date - (350-metre length at 3.29 g/t gold) - drilling to start shortly

- Initial resource calculation by SRK scheduled for end of April, followed by updates and start of prefeasibility study

- 2008 drilling program @ 140,000 metres will continue resource drilling and evaluate all other targets with 5 rigs

Oromin Explorations Ltd. ("Oromin") is pleased to announce the approval and initiation of its 2008 exploration and engineering program, additional results from the ongoing step-out and in-fill drilling program at the Golouma West, Golouma South (Northeast Zone) and Masato Gold Deposits, and the significant upgrading of the Niakafiri Southwest Target to drill ready status.

Oromin's current drilling program is focused on resource delineation of the project's numerous gold zones and deposits. More than 75,000 metres of drilling is expected to be included in the project's initial resource estimate scheduled for late April. The approved 2008 program has been expanded to 140,000 metres of drilling. This program will continue resource drilling of the known and newly outlined gold deposits at depth and along trend, and initial evaluation of all the remaining significant targets established within the concession. SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. has been hired to complete baseline studies, metallurgical testwork, and further resource updates and to begin a preliminary feasibility study during the year.

Results from the ongoing property-wide exploration program continue to support Oromin's model of multiple gold deposits within the Sabodala Project. The 2007 drill program ended December 15th and our 2008 program commenced January 12th. The following results, including those listed in the Schedule attached, set out the remainder of the 2007 drilling program.

GOLOUMA WEST GOLD DEPOSIT

The Golouma West Gold Deposit has now been traced over 1,500 metres on surface, to over 300 metres at depth and remains open in all directions. Oromin is drilling this deposit on 40-metre, and locally 20-metre, centres using both reverse circulation and diamond core rigs.

The results continue to expand mineralization both laterally and to depth. Some of the most significant include:

DH-181           306             16         2.26

GOLOUMA SOUTH GOLD DEPOSIT (NORTHEAST ZONE)

The Golouma South gold deposit ("main zone") is centred within a 3-kilometre northeast trending gold geochemical anomaly that flanks the southeast side of the extensive Golouma gold geochemical complex of anomalies. The deposit also trends northeast and dips moderately steeply to the west. It is currently being drilled on 40-metre and locally 20-metre centres.

The Northeast Zone is located approximately 500 metres to the north of the Golouma South "main zone". Based on limited drilling to date and the results listed below, an easterly trending and south dipping gold mineralized zone has been outlined over a 100-metre extent, 150-metre depth and remains open in all directions. To date, the mineralized zone is narrower on average than the Golouma South "main", Golouma West and Masato deposits but the grade is significantly higher.

Management expects the Northeast Zone to intersect the extrapolated extension of the Golouma South "main zone" some 250-300 metres to the east of current drilling. It is an excellent high priority target that will be drilled on minimum 40-metre centres.

From the Northeast Zone, some of the most significant results including those previously released (i) are:

MASATO GOLD DEPOSIT

The Masato Gold Deposit is coincident with a strong gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly 2.6 kilometres in length by up to 1.2 kilometres in width and is located 1.2 kilometres due east of the 1.9 million ounce Sabodala Gold Deposit that is being readied for production by Mineral Deposits Ltd. (see Mineral Deposits Ltd. August 16, 2007 news release). Oromin has recently initiated resource drilling at 40-metre centres over portions of this large mineralized zone using both reverse circulation and diamond core rigs.

Current drilling of this large deposit continues to show excellent lateral and vertical continuity of the gold mineralization. Of particular interest is the section to section continuity of near surface thicker mineralization, e.g. 39 metres grading 2.05 g/t gold in RC-163 and 24 metres grading 2.49 g/t gold in RC-166.

Some of the most significant new results at Masato include:

NIAKAFIRI SOUTHWEST TARGET

Recent detailed soil sampling (25-metre stations on 50-metre lines) at this undrilled 1 kilometre long target has outlined the highest grade gold-in-soil geochemical anomaly found to date on the concession. The peak anomaly, as defined by a 0.5 gram gold contour, averages 3.29 g/t gold over a 350 metre length and up to a 100 metre width. It is based on 23 samples ranging from 0.59 g/t gold to 12.07 g/t gold. This anomaly is on trend of MDL's Niakafiri gold deposit located approximately 1 kilometre to the northeast. Drilling is scheduled to start within the next two weeks.

OTHER GOLD TARGETS

In addition to the Niakafiri Southwest target, examples of other gold targets to be drill-tested during 2008 include the following, each of which returned excellent initial trench results similar to the initial trench results at Golouma prior to Oromin's first drilling success there.
