Arizona Tribune - Orogen Royalties Sells the Los Coyotes Silver-Gold Project to Fresnillo

To acquire a 100% interest in the Los Coyotes project, Fresnillo will pay Orogen US$118,000 on signing (received) and US$1 million on the commencement of commercial production. Orogen will retain a 1% net smelter return ("NSR") royalty.

Paddy Nicol, CEO of Orogen commented, "Los Coyotes is an undrilled silver-gold rich poly metallic project that was part of Orogen's larger and un-optioned Suanse porphyry copper project. This transaction brings in Fresnillo, the world's leading silver producer, with strong geological and regional expertise to focus on exploring the precious metal potential at Los Coyotes. Orogen will keep its upside exposure to Los Coyotes though its retained royalty without any further capital contribution. We look forward to the next rounds of exploration at Los Coyotes with Fresnillo."

About the Los Coyotes Silver-Gold Project
The Los Coyotes property consists of six claims covering over 600 hectares located approximately 180 kilometres northeast of Hermosillo in Sonora Mexico. The property lies within the prolific Laramide porphyry copper belt, between Mexico's two largest copper mines, Cananea and La Caridad. and within the Sierra Madre Occidental Gold and Silver Belt proximal to multiple producing Eocene precious metal vein systems including the Santa Elena, Ermitaño, Las Chispas and Mercedes mines. (Figure 1).

Mineralization on the Los Coyotes property has been mapped in multiple sub parallel northeast striking sub-vertical mineralized structures and as replacements within a limestone unit interbedded within the Andesites. The mineralized structures, which can be traced across the property for over five kilometres, are undrilled but contain several historical workings. Channel sampling of these structures at surface has returned up to 1.4 metres at 6.81 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 927 g/t silver (Figure 2 and Photo 1).

Mineralization is hosted within dacitic to andesitic composition volcanic rocks interpreted to be part of the Laramide-age Tarahumara Formation.
