Orofino Gold Corp. (ORFG)
With its beauty, permanence and rarity gold is still the material of choice for the fabrication of religious artifacts, decorative articles and jewellery. However, the unique chemical and physical properties offered by this precious metal are increasingly being sought for use in a growing number of industrial and medical applications. These include uses within the fields of nanotechnology medicine and electronics for products such as smart-cards, automotive electronics, sensors, medical implants and drug delivery systems.

One area that has seen significant growth is the use of gold in electronics, particularly within telecommunications, information technology and safety critical applications. Examine the battery connections of any mobile phone and these are almost certainly gold-plated contacts. Similarly, within computers there are usually gold-plated edge connectors. Gold bonding wires are used extensively within semiconductor packages, gold thick film inks are applied in the fabrication of hybrid circuits and gold's excellent solder wetting properties are used to form a very thin protective layer on copper laminate printed circuit boards prior to storage. Also, some DVDs and recordable CD-Rs have thin gold metallisation.

Orofino Gold Corp. has several Gold development properties in Colombia, a current hot spot of gold production in the world markets. Orofino Gold Corp. is a Colombia based gold producer founded as a private company in 2009 by former executives with over 50 cumulative years in mining exploration, finance, and development expertise. Orofino's corporate objective is to continue to build shareholder value through the exploration and development of Senderos de Oro and additional accretive acquisitions, capitalizing on the extensive experience and relationships that management has developed over the past 25 years.

Orofino Gold Corp.'s strategy to become a recognized player in the Colombia mining sector began with the acquisition of the La Azul/La Estrella property in the Senderos de Oro region of Colombia; a Northern extension of South America's highly mineralized Andes Mountain Range. Development of this property has included acquisition of concessions for the surrounding lands, including adding the San Carlos and Culo Alzado properties, detailed analysis of historic geological and cultural records of the area, and regular mineral analysis of newly obtained resource samples.

In addition, Orofino has acquired a database comprised of exploration and mining results from previous operators who left as a result of pre-21st century regional civil and economic instability.
