ORO GOLD ANNOUNCES PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING

Oro Gold Resources Ltd. (“Oro Gold”) (TSX-V: OGR) is arranging a non-brokered private placement of up to 3.5 million units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.55 per Unit for proceeds of up to $1,925,000, subject to regulatory approval. Each Unit consists of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional common share at a price of $0.75 per share for the first year and $1.00 per share for the second year after the date of issuance. The Units will be subject to a four-month hold period from the closing date. Finder\'s fees may be payable in connection with certain subscriptions under the financing. Oro Gold intends to use the proceeds of the private placement to further define and expand the current gold resource at its 100%-owned flagship Trinidad property located in Sinaloa, Mexico, and for other corporate purposes and general working capital. Oro Gold continues to advance the Trinidad property with drilling and has secured a reverse circulation and a core drill rig. The company is working towards increasing the current inferred resource base of 200,930 ounces of gold (4,491,800 tonnes at 1.39 g/t gold) (see Oro Gold’s press release dated May 29, 2008).
