Oro Verde Limited (ASX: OVL) ("Oro Verde" or "the Company") announces that it has appointed AirGuide Advisory Pte. Ltd., the consulting arm of AirGuide International Pte. Ltd., as its strategic advisor (AirGuide).

AirGuide will advise the company and facilitate a broad strategic program geared towards securing value-adding commercial agreements for the Makuutu Rare Earth Elements (REE) project.

AirGuide's principals have over 20 years of experience in financial markets and the commodities sector. Airguide has had a positive track record of successfully advising ASX-listed, technology minerals companies on business strategy, investment funding and off-take partnerships.

Oro Verde's Technical Director Marc Steffens commented: "AirGuide's experience in securing partnerships and investment agreements is congruent with Oro Verde's needs, and therefore positions the company for a productive and exciting future. We welcome AirGuide and look forward to a beneficial engagement".

AirGuide CEO David Robinson was also positive about this corporate development, adding: "The Makuutu Rare Earth Project, where Oro Verde currently holds 20% and can earn-in up to 60% of the project, may go some way toward addressing geopolitical concerns and security of supply of critical rare earth elements. With the ongoing work program focused on demonstrating the strategic significance of this project, we believe that further project value is still to be unlocked."

The Makuutu project, located in Uganda, is significant in size, already drilled by over 100 RAB holes and is understood to be potentially one of the largest ionic clay deposits outside of China with an exploration target of target of

530 million tonnes grading 0.04 - 0.1% TREO (ASX: 4 September 2019)*.

*This Exploration Target is conceptual in nature but is based on reasonable grounds and assumptions. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource
