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.
