Drilling commences at Mutsk, Armenia

Orogen Gold plc (AIM: ORE), the AIM quoted gold exploration company, announces the commencement of the second phase of drilling at the Mutsk gold project, Armenia ("Mutsk" or the "Project").

This development has been facilitated by the placing of £650,000 (before costs) announced on 3 October 2013, which was undertaken to provide additional working capital to accelerate the Company's exploration programme on the Project.

The second phase drilling programme at Mutsk will target a maiden resource by the end of 2014. A drill rig has been mobilised to test the mineralised corridor further before the onset of winter. The Company expects that this stage of drilling will be a relatively short campaign, with the bulk of second phase drilling programme to be completed during 2014.

Results from the programme will be announced as soon as they are received and assessed.

The Company is also actively exploring the Deli Jovan district in Serbia where a historic high-grade gold mining camp was last in production prior to World War II and has been significantly under-explored in modern times.
