Looks like this is the start of good things to come...... Good luck to all OLE shareholders. ROG Oromin Explorations Ltd.: Drilling and Trenching at Sabodala Expands Gold Mineralization VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Sep 13, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- Oromin Explorations Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: OLE)(PINK SHEETS: OLEPF) - HIGHLIGHTS - Drill results from Golouma west and Golouma south include 3.97 g/t gold over 20 metres and 5.06 g/t gold over 7 metres, respectively - Trench results from Golouma west and Golouma south include 8.81 g/t gold over 7 metres and 8.28 g/t gold over 12 metres, respectively - Initial trench results from the new cloverleaf target area returns 6.48 g/t gold over 7 metres - SRK consulting engineers has been contracted to design and outline the parameters for Oromin's upcoming Sabodala pre-feasibility program - Drilling to be accelerated with the addition of a further 4 to 6 RC and RAB drill rigs - Numerous new target areas outlined by ongoing regional exploration Oromin Explorations Ltd. is pleased to provide an update on the rapidly advancing exploration program at its Sabodala Property in eastern Senegal. Despite the rainy season, Oromin has continued its successful excavator trenching and drilling activity throughout the property. As the rainy season draws to a close at Sabodala, Oromin will escalate all aspects of the exploration program with the addition of a second excavator, re-instatement of the soil sampling program, re-start of ground IP geophysics, and mobilisation of additional drill rigs, including both RAB and RC drills. The following table outlines the significant drilling results from ten new holes and four excavator trenches at the Golouma West Zone: GOLOUMA WEST ZONE - NEW HOLE AND TRENCHES Drill Hole(DH) or Grid Co- Azimuth/ Interval GoldTrench (TR) ordinates Dip From-To (m) (m) (g/t)-----------------------------------------------------------------------DH-20 3555N/4651E 030 degrees/ 43-60 17 3.57 -45 degrees incl. 43-50 7 5.81 73-95 22 2.80 incl. 79-87 8 5.11DH-21 3555N/4651E 030 degrees/ 81-85 4 2.55 -67 degrees 93-113 20 3.97 incl. 95-101 6 7.99 126-129 3 7.99 136-149 13 2.54DH-22 3652N/4473E 175 degrees/ 32-39 7 12.15 -47 degreesDH-23 3500N/4658E 030 degrees/ 76-79 3 4.83 -60 degrees 129-133 4 1.35 137-143 6 1.18 180-184 4 1.33DH-24 3505N/4624E 030 degrees/ 87-89 2 3.42 -60 degrees 163-166 3 1.42 170-199 29 2.08 incl. 174-182 8 4.80DH-25 3615N/4545E 015 degrees/ 28-44 16 3.29 -45 degrees incl. 41-44 3 9.40DH-26 3588N/4537E 015 degrees/ 42-50 8 1.42 -50 degrees 56-68 12 1.35DH-27 3588N/4537E 015 degrees/ 40-43 3 2.75 -75 degrees 91-100 9 1.28 138-141 3 2.10DH-28 3578N/4562E 015 degrees/ 37-38 1 4.49 -45 degreesDH-29 3578N/4562E 015 degrees/ 66-74 8 2.43 -65 degreesTR-70 3500N/4704E 050 degrees 4.0-13.0 9.0 3.10TR-72 3290N/4970E 015 degrees 24.0-31.0 7.0 8.81TR-74 3670N/4660E 200 degrees 32.0-40.0 8.0 2.76TR-78 3300N/4865E 025 degrees 109.0-130.0 21.0 1.88 At Golouma West, trenching and drilling has now successfully traced the gold mineralization along a minimum strike length of 900 metres.

The attitude of mineralized intervals varies and may not represent true widths. Two holes drilled to test a geophysical anomaly at the Golouma East area returned only geochemically anomalous results. OTHER EXPLORATION TARGETS Since the commencement of Oromin's USD$8 million comprehensive exploration program at Sabodala, Oromin has made more than thirty new prospecting discoveries throughout the Sabodala exploration concession. Of these new exploration discoveries only four have been subject to a significant amount of exploration: Golouma West and Golouma South, the extensions to the previously known Masato Zone and the Niakafiri Southwest/Southeast Zone - southern extension of the Niakafiri Deposit located on the adjacent property of Mineral Deposits Limited. Many of Oromin's newly discovered exploration target areas are at the same stage of exploration as the foregoing four discoveries were twelve months ago. In particular, the Cloverleaf, Kinemba, Sabodala North, Sekoto, Mamakono and Maki Madina, target areas are priority exploration targets. A compilation map showing the location of the new drill holes and the some of the new prospecting discoveries is attached. Oromin is presently compiling an overview of its exploration to date and expects to release this compilation information shortly. Fieldwork was carried out under the supervision of Gerald McArthur P. Geol., a "qualified person" for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101, who has also verified the data disclosed in this news release. TSL Laboratories in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan carried out all assaying. On behalf of the Board of Directors of OROMIN EXPLORATIONS LTD.
