ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

High Grade Rock Chip Results from New Prospects
Oropa is pleased to announce recent rock chip sampling results from
the Tambang Tinggi, Tambang Asop, Tambang Hitam, Tambang
Manunda and Tambang Ubi prospects, located within the company’s
Pungkut project, North Sumatra, Indonesia. All prospects occur within
a 5km² area, adjacent to the Trans-Sumatran Highway.
Tambang Asop, Tambang Hitam and Tambang Manunda prospects
appear to be part of a single, low-temperature, low sulphidation
epithermal gold system. The Tambang Tinggi prospect, located
approximately 2km east of Tambang Hitam, is a granodiorite intrusive
complex hosting high grade gold/copper/silver mineralisation.
Tambang Ubi is a gold/copper/silver mineralised skarn deposit
exploited during the 1930’s by a publicly listed Dutch mining
company.
Historical exploration of these prospects is very limited, with Oropa
commencing its exploration efforts on these targets just 6 weeks ago.

These results confirm the attractiveness of the geological setting for the discovery of mineral
resources. The presence of copper-bearing, gold-rich intrusive complexes with spatially
associated low temperature, low sulphidation style epithermal gold mineralisation and contact
copper/gold skarn mineralisation developed within limestone provides a diverse range of
targets within a relatively confined area.
Oropa is continuing its mapping and sampling programme and will commence initial drill testing
these prospects by mid October.
Yours faithfully,
OROPA LIMITED
PHILIP C CHRISTIE
Director
