£450,000 Equity Fundraising

The Company announces that it has, through its broker Beaufort Securities Limited, conditionally placed 1,800,000,000 new ordinary shares of 0.01p each ('Ordinary Shares') (the 'Placing Shares') with existing and new investors at a price of 0.025p per share, raising £450,000 before expenses (the 'Placing'). The net proceeds of the Placing will provide additional working capital, which will be used, inter alia, to advance the Company's exploration programs and to develop new projects.

The Placing Shares, which represent approximately 32.7% percent of the Company's enlarged share capital, will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares. Application will be made for the Placing Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and admission is expected to take place on or around 7 October 2015.

About Orogen Gold

Orogen Gold plc is a UK public company quoted on the London Stock Exchange AIM market (ticker: ORE). The Company is focused on mineral exploration and development in Europe and is currently operating two gold exploration projects: a) at Mutsk in Armenia and b) at Deli Jovan in Serbia. The Mutsk gold project in Armenia was optioned by Orogen early in 2013 to follow-up reports of a new epithermal discovery within an established gold district. At Deli Jovan the historic high-grade gold mining camp was last in production prior to World War II and has been significantly under-explored in modern times. The Mutsk project has been prioritised by the Company due to the clear potential evident on the property.
