OROCO TEMPORARILY SUSPENDS DRILLING ACTIVITIES
VANCOUVER, Canada – (June 9, 2022) Oroco Resource Corp. (TSX-V: OCO, OTC: ORRCF) (“Oroco” or “the Company”) announces that it has temporarily suspended its drilling operations at Santo Tomas for safety and security reasons relating to an increase in federal military operations in the region resulting from a dispute between criminal elements.

“Our primary concern at this time is to ensure the safety of our field personnel,” stated Craig Dalziel, Oroco’s Executive Chairman. “While disputes of this nature do not in any way directly affect our overall operations at Santo Tomas, we feel it is very important that the company and its personnel avoid all possible contact with any hostilities which may arise in the general area.”

The Company intends to take advantage of this temporary shutdown by providing a seasonal break for its drilling crews while maintaining its core-processing activities at Ranchito, the Company’s central processing and storage facility.
