Oro Mining Provides Sonic Drilling Update
Oro Mining Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:OGR) provides an update on the currently planned 5,000 metre
sonic drill program being conducted on its Trinidad property located in Sinaloa, Mexico.
Sonic drilling commenced mid-February at the Taunus gold deposit. Three sonic drill holes
have been completed to date.
The Company is moving the sonic drill rig inside the completely dewatered pit to commence
drilling in the southern area near hole 41 which returned 11.9 g/t gold over 41 metres
(press release dated March 3, 2010). Twelve sonic drill holes are planned as part of an
initial phase to cover approximately a 500-metre length across the main part of the Taunus
resource.
The sonic drill program is aimed at upgrading and increasing the Taunus gold resource and
has the following objectives:
-- Increase the gold grade of the Eldorado zone
-- Discover additional gold zones in-between the Eldorado and HS zones
-- Continue to define the dimensions and gold grade of the HS zone
-- Target offsets and extensions to the modeled gold zones
-- Target potential high-grade gold feeders
Oro Mining expects to start releasing assay results on the sonic drilling in early April.
An updated plan map, photos of the Taunus pit, and longitudinal/cross-sections showing the
location of proposed sonic drill holes are appended at the bottom of this release. The
sections also graphically reference the recently completed resource block model and
defined pit limits.
Oro Mining also announces that it will be exhibiting at the Prospectors & Developers
Association of Canada ("PDAC") Convention 2011 being held at the Metro Toronto Convention
Centre, South Building, from Sunday, March 6 to Wednesday, March 9, 2011.

that its new updated corporate presentation is now available on its website at
www.oromining.com. The updated presentation includes valuable information regarding the

were submitted directly to Inspectorate, an ISO 9001-2008 certified assay laboratory, for
preparation in Durango, Mexico, and analysis in Reno, Nevada. All sonic drill samples
submitted for analysis were from splits of half-sawn frozen core. Analysis was conducted
on 1 assay ton samples for gold, with a standard, blank and duplicate inserted for every
20 samples submitted. Analysis of gold was by fire assay with AAS finish, and with
gravimetric finish on samples exceeding 5 g/t gold. (Gary) Y.Y. Wong, P.Eng.is a qualified
