Oro Gold Reports on Its Cimarron Project, Sinaloa, Mexico

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Nov 02 (MARKET WIRE) --
Oro Gold Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: OGR) ("Oro Gold" or the "Company")
announces that it has formally notified Mazorro Resources Inc.
("Mazorro") of the termination of the option agreement on the Cimarron
property. The Company's wholly owned Cimarron property is located 40
kilometres east of Mazatlan, Mexico on trend with the Historic Rosario
multi-million ounce gold-silver mine and is prospective for gold, silver
and copper. The Cimarron property is an advanced stage property with
resource potential and excellent infrastructure.

During the 2-year option period Mazorro issued 500,000 of their shares to
Oro Gold and spent US$935,000 in expenditures at Cimarron. Expenditures
included an extensive property scale 326 line-kilometre, 4,373 soil and
rock sample survey program, and 2,670 metres of reverse circulation
("RC") and diamond drilling for a total of 15 holes. The RC drill program
was designed to target the kilometre-scale gold anomaly at the Calerita
prospect, as well as drill-test anomalies identified from the soil
geochemical and magnetic surveys.

The drilling confirmed the presence of a significant outcropping
gold-bearing zone and expanded the known gold mineralization at depth.
The dimensions of the zone are now at least 350 metres by 250 metres at
surface and to a depth of approximately 100 metres. The gold zone is open
to the south, to the northeast, and at depth.

Highlights of the drill program include (see press release dated
September 4, 2008):

- CIMRC08-001: 0.6 g/t gold over 84.0 m;

- CIMRC08-002: 0.9 g/t gold over 90.0 m (including 1.8 g/t gold over 24.0
m);

- CIMRC08-004: 0.7 g/t gold over 60.0 m; and

- CIMRC08-006: 0.5 g/t gold over 76.0 m

"The Cimarron property holds promise for near-surface bulk tonnage
potential at Calerita and also higher grade gold potential elsewhere on
the property which is largely unexplored. We are excited about exploring
the resource potential at Calerita and looking at the remaining targets
elsewhere on the property," stated Frank Powell, Vice President of Oro
Gold.

Oro Gold's experience in the region and its recent discovery at the
Trinidad property has greatly increased Oro Gold's understanding of the
region and is expected to significantly aid in exploration successes on
the Cimarron and surrounding properties. Presently the Company plans to
continue exploration on this concession with a goal to identifying a
significant economic resource. For more information about the Cimarron
exploration project visit Oro Gold's web site at:

Oro Gold's future plans at Cimarron are to:

- conduct an in-house resource estimate;

- conduct preliminary metallurgical testing;

- step out drilling;

- explore other drill targets on the property.
