ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
3 July 2006
More Gold Discovered at Sambung
Oropa is pleased to announce further drilling success at its
Sambung prospect. Sambung is located in the North Block of
the Company’s 75% owned North Sumatran Pungkut Project,
approximately 2km from the Sihayo 1 North 610,000 Oz Au
Inferred Resource (figure 1).
Diamond drilling intersected the following:
• SAMDD020: 8m @ 1.52g/t Au from 4m
(Including 2m @ 3.25g/t Au from 4m and 2m
@ 2.18g/t Au from 10m)
• SAMDD021: 11m @ 2.3g/t Au from 10m
• SAMDD022: 22.05m @ 5.86g/t Au from 1m
(Including 3m @ 18.7g/t Au from 6m)
The current drill programme is testing geological targets and
anomalous gold values encountered in trenching completed
earlier this year. To date, recent drilling has identified gold
mineralisation over a 400m strike length, with a further 500
strike metres of anomalous trenching yet to be tested (figure 2).
Gold mineralisation in drill hole SAMDD020 is largely colluvial in
nature and confirms results in earlier test pitting and trenching.
Drill hole SAMDD021 encountered mineralisation in both
colluvium and primary jasperoid, as did drill hole SAMDD022.
The Company is now focussing both of its drill rigs on
delineating the primary zones of mineralisation at Sambung.

Notes
1. All Au assays were determined by 50gm fire assay with AAS finish
2. A 0.5ppm Au lower cut was used
3. A maximum of 2m of consecutive internal waste (material less than 0.5ppm Au) per reported intersection
4. All interval grades were calculated as a weighted average
5. All intervals reported as down hole lengths
