Orogen Gold plc

("Orogen" or the "Company")

Result of General Meeting and Open Offer

The Company is pleased to announce that, at the General Meeting of the Company held earlier today, all resolutions were duly passed. Accordingly, the Capital Reorganisation and change of the Company name to Orogen plc will now take place. Trading in the Existing Ordinary Shares will cease at close of business today, and trading in the New Ordinary Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 10 April 2017.

Placing and Open Offer

The Company announced on 21 March 2017 that it had conditionally raised £3 million (before expenses) from new and existing investors through a conditional placing of 200,000,000 Placing Shares at the Issue Price of 1.5 pence per New Ordinary Share. The Company also announced that it proposed separately to make an Open Offer to all Qualifying Shareholders to enable Qualifying Shareholders to have the opportunity to participate in the capital raising process at the Issue Price.

Orogen is pleased to confirm that it has received valid acceptances in respect of 8,945,781 Open Offer Shares raising £134,187 for the Company (before expenses). Qualifying Shareholders who validly applied for Open Offer Shares pursuant to their Open Offer Entitlement will receive the full amount of Open Offer Shares applied for.

The remaining 22,418,230 Open Offer shares have all been placed with new and existing investors at the Issue Price (the "Second Placing"), raising £336,273 (before expenses). Consequently, the total gross proceeds of the Second Placing and the Open Offer are £470,460.

Following the passing of the Resolutions, the Placing, the Open Offer and the Second Placing will now proceed to completion. Application has been made for the admission of 262,728,022 New Ordinary Shares, to be issued pursuant to the Capital Reorganisation, the Placing, the Open Offer and the Second Placing, to trading on AIM, with Admission expected to become effective at 8.00 a.m. on 10 April 2017.

The Company is therefore pleased to announce that it has raised gross proceeds of approximately £3.47 million, through the Open Offer, the Placing and the Second Placing.

New strategy

As announced on 21 March 2017, the Board has concluded that it is no longer in Shareholders' interests, in the current market conditions, to continue to provide further finance for its mineral exploration activities, and it is therefore seeking to dispose of its interests in its mineral exploration projects, and to conclude an acquisition which would constitute a reverse takeover under the AIM Rules.

The decision to cease the Company's mineral exploration activities represents a fundamental change of business under Rule 15 of the AIM Rules. Following the Resolutions being passed, the Company is deemed to be an AIM Rule 15 cash shell, which means that the Company must make an acquisition or acquisitions which constitute a reverse takeover under Rule 14 of the AIM Rules within six months of the General Meeting, otherwise the trading of the Company's shares on AIM will be suspended. If the Company has not made an acquisition or acquisitions which constitute a reverse takeover under Rule 14 of the AIM Rules within six months of such suspension, the admission of the Company's shares to trading on AIM will be cancelled.

Total voting rights

The enlarged ordinary share capital of the Company, comprising 262,728,022 New Ordinary Shares, will trade under the ISIN GB00BYXD4566. For the purposes of the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules, the total number of voting rights in the Company with effect from 10 April 2017 will be 262,728,022. This figure may be used by Shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company, under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
