Orca Gold Inc. (TSX-V:ORG) is pleased to announce the positive results of its Feasibility Study on the Block 14 Gold Project in the Republic of the Sudan.

FEASIBILITY STUDY HIGHLIGHTS (100% BASIS):

“We are pleased to announce the results of our Feasibility Study on Block 14. The Study clearly demonstrates the solid economics and scope of the proposed development and operation at Block 14. Block 14 is one of very few pre-development projects in Africa with such a positive production and economic profile. In fact, at a production rate of almost 230,000 ounces of gold per annum for the first seven years, a low production cash cost per ounce and a significant exploration upside, this project stands out not only in Africa but on an international scale,” commented Rick Clark, CEO of Orca. “We are well-advanced in permitting the development of Block 14 and expect a positive decision from the government of the Sudan early in the New Year.”

Key Operating Parameters:

Capital Costs:

Pre-production capital costs are estimated at $328 million including $36 million in contingency and $185 million for LOM Sustaining Capital. The construction period is estimated at 27 months.

Mining and Processing:

The preferred mining option for Block 14 is a conventional truck and shovel open pit operation feeding a mineral processing circuit incorporating primary crushing, SAG and Ball mill grinding followed by carbon-in-pulp leaching, stripping and electrowinning.

Pre-production will enable the training of the mining crews and is estimated to produce 0.90Mt of waste stripping and 0.35Mt of ore, which will be stockpiled. The mining will be completed in eight years at an average mining rate of 22Mtpa.  A low-grade stockpile (average 0.71g/t) will be created which enables processing of higher-grade ore for the first 7 years of the mine life with an average grade of 1.49g/t. The stockpiled ore will be treated over the last 6.6 years.

77.3MT @ 1.07g/t will be mined from the GSS group of pits adjacent the processing plant. 2.6Mt @ 2.36g/t will be mined from the Wadi Doum satellite deposit and trucked 65km to the processing plant during the first five years of the mine life.

The site layouts (Figures 1 & 2), which can be found at the end of the release, for GSS and Wadi Doum show the location of the open pits, waste dumps, stockpiles process plant and infrastructure.
