Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company is
in discussions with the a private Company to acquire Oil Production
leases in Uinta basin in the State of
Utah.
The Company is seeking to acquire Oil & Gas leases on Net
Revenue cash flow basis in Sanpete
County, in Central Utah and
San Juan Basin, The San Juan structural basin is a large downwarp
of sedimentary rocks of mostly Mesozoic age. As a geologic region,
the San Juan Basin is noted for
its large deposits of coal, uranium, and natural gas. Since the
1980s, the Fruitland Formation in the basin has been one of the
major US sources of coal bed methane. In 2007, the San Juan Basin produced 1.32 trillion cubic
feet of natural gas, making it the largest source of natural gas in
the United States.[3] Uranium mining in New Mexico is also performed from the
San Juan Basin.
Several reports have suggested that Uintah, Duchesne and Sanpete Counties in North Eastern Counties
have recoverable Oil resource in excess of 14.5 Billion barrels of
Shale Oil.
The Company has approved to grant of an option and formation of
joint venture on its gold/silver properties located in Colombia.
Although Orofino's concessions are only in the initial stages of
exploration, preliminary work done by previous claim holders
suggests the company's concessions could include heavily
mineralized regions well-suited for economic development. Orofino's
geological consultants have confirmed the findings of the previous
claim holders. In addition, early rock sample analysis has resulted
in gold concentrations above industry-wide averages. These same
reports have also revealed substantial amounts of silver,
suggesting the possibility of additional high-value mineral
recoveries beyond gold. Further grab and chip samples will be
assayed to establish an area to focus on for initializing test
production.
