David Fowler, Chief Executive Officer commented:

“Production for 2012 is expected to be on target at 57,500 to 60,000 ounces despite a delay in receiving permits to commence production from Arenal Deeps. This has affected production for the quarter, however, excellent progress is now being made in the development of Arenal Deeps.

“A preliminary economic assessment prepared by AMEC for Pantanillo has shown a positive pre-tax NPV of US$32 million at a discount rate of 8 per cent and a gold price US$1,200. With exploration upside to define additional resources and further opportunities to improve the project, Pantanillo has the potential to develop into a high quality production asset for Orosur.”

Highlights

Production

  • The Company’s target production for the year remains unchanged at 57,500 to 60,000 ounces, however, production for the quarter was 11,916 ounces of gold which was below the Company’s expectations of 12,750 to 13,250 ounces. Permission to start production at Arenal Deeps was received in December.
  • Cash operating cost for the quarter was US$1,007 per ounce of gold which was above expectations due to lower production levels.
  • Excellent progress has been made on development of the Arenal Deeps underground mine with 1,388 metres of decline and access development along with 446 metres of ore development completed to the end of November 2011.

Financial

  • Revenue for the quarter was US$ 21.0 million (US$ 16.6 million in Q2 of 2010/11), an increase of 26 per cent with realized gold price up significantly to US$ 1,717 per ounce (US$ 1,332 per ounce in Q2 of 2010/11)
  • Net profit after tax for the quarter was US$ 2.6m (US$ 2.8m in Q2 of 2010/11).
  • Cash flow from operations for the quarter was US$ 4.7m (US$ 5.1m in Q2 2010/11).
  • Cash balance at the quarter end of US$ 17.1m (US$ 13.9m in Q2 2010/11)

Exploration and development

  • AMEC has completed an independent preliminary economic assessment of the current Pantanillo resource. The financial analysis undertaken was based on a gold price of US$1,200 per ounce. The resulting before tax NPV at an 8 per cent discount rate is US$32 million.
  • A consortium made up of OMI and the LUMAX S.A. received a water exploration permit from the Chilean Water authority DGA for its Pantanillo Project in Chile.
  • First pass drilling at Talca was focused on the northern section of the Metalera Fault and Niebla vein. Drilling in the central and southern sections of the Metalera which has seen the most significant historical production is planned for the third quarter of 2012. Limited drilling was completed in these sectors during the quarter as drill platforms were built.

Production and Costs

Production for the quarter was 11,916 ounces of gold which is 5.5 per cent lower than the corresponding quarter of the previous year of 12,576 ounces. This production level is below the Company´s expectations of 12,750 to 13,250 ounces for the quarter. This shortfall was mainly due to the delay in receiving the permission to commence stoping for the Arenal Deeps mine from the Uruguayan mines department DINAMIGE, which subsequently resulted in lower than planned head grade fed to the mill. The underground mine at Arenal Deeps is expected to deliver higher grade ore (average of 2.87 g/t over its LOM) compared to ore being mined from current open pits. A permit to stope the first two levels was received on December 19th 2011, approximately six weeks behind schedule, and stoping has commenced. All requirements to receive the final permit for mining all levels have been complied with. The final inspection is scheduled for mid-January with the full permit expected by the end of January.

Excellent progress has been made at the Arenal Deeps underground mine development, with 1,388 metres of decline and access development along with 446 metres of ore development being completed to the end of November 2011. The main ventilation shaft broke through to surface in November 2011. Civil works for the main fans was completed in December 2011 and the ventilation system has been commissioned. With production commencing in the room and pillar sections and development being on schedule, the Company plans to recoup the shortfall in production in the second half of the year.

Cash operating cost for the quarter was US$1,007 per ounce of gold which was above expectations due to lower production levels. The increase when compared to the prior year cost of US$778 per ounce of gold was mainly attributable to the lower grade of ore mined as a result of lower production levels and increased costs due to inflation in Uruguay and transportation costs, as in this quarter the Company has been mining from satellite pits (Argentinita and Sobresaliente) further away from the San Gregorio plant. The grade processed for the quarter was 9 per cent lower than the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year.

As had been expected, a new law was published in Uruguay on November 4, 2011 introducing amendments to the current Mining Code. The most significant amendment was the change in the production royalty. The production royalty for metallic minerals was changed to 5 per cent (2 per cent to land owner and 3 per cent to the State) of sale value. This compares to the previous royalty rate which was 5 per cent to 8 per cent of the mouth of mine value of the ore.

Capital expenditure commitments for Arenal Deeps remain in accordance with budget. The tailings closure and new tailings construction projects are advancing well and are expected to be completed during January 2012, slightly behind schedule due to high rainfall during the quarter, but still ahead of schedule for the expected start date to use the facility of March 2012.

The Company's forecast gold production for the 2011/2012 financial year remains in the range of 57,500 to 60,000 ounces at an operating cash cost per ounce of approximately US$810 per ounce. Production is forecast to increase in the second half of the year as Arenal Deeps starts contributing to output and planned higher grade ore is accessed from open pit sources. Variations in production and costs between quarters will occur as the mine plan draws ore from several pits at different grades and stages of stripping and the company manages its mine plans to achieve production and cost targets over the course of the year.

Financial Performance

Net profit after tax for the quarter was US$2.6 million. Higher prices, lower production and higher costs and taxes are the main variances compared to net profit of US$2.8 million in the same quarter of last year. The average price of gold sold increased from US$1,332 per ounce in the second quarter, 2010/11 to US$1,717 per ounce in the second quarter, 2011/12.

The Company generated US$4.7 million in cash flow from operations during this quarter. Capital expenditures for the quarter were US$4.5 million on exploration, including the Talca payments of US$1.3 million, and US$9.3 million in property plant and equipment mostly on Arenal Deeps development and the construction of the new tailings dam.

OMI ended the quarter with US$17.1 million in cash compared to US$14.2 million at the beginning of the financial year. Cash levels were in accordance with expectations and at 30 November 2011 the Company has US$ 5.1 million debt. A financing facility of US$ 5.5 million established with HSBC to finance Arenal Deeps equipment is expected to be fully drawn during the third quarter of 2012.

Pantanillo Chile

Exploration

Field work commenced in December 2011, focused on discovering further satellite deposits within the Pantanillo licence and around the Pantanillo Norte orebody, Pantanillo Central, Quebrada Pantanillo and Oro 52 are the main target areas where surface sampling / mapping and drilling will occur during the 2012 field season.

Areas were identified for a low detection limit geochemical soil sampling programme with up to 2,000 samples to be collected over grids of 100 x 100 metres. A 2,000-3,000 metre Reverse Circulation (RC) drill programme is planned to commence in February 2012.

Pantanillo Development

OMI contracted AMEC International Ingenieria y Construccion Limitada (AMEC) to prepare an updated NI 43-101 Technical Report on the wholly-owned Pantanillo Norte Project, located in the III Region, Northern Chile.

The Technical Report discloses a Mineral Resource estimate for the Project, which supported a Preliminary Economic Assessment. The Life of Mine (LOM) plan was based on the resources disclosed with effective date of July 9, 2010, which were reported at a commodity price of US$1,035 per ounce of gold.

Summary of Financial Parameters   Unit   LOM
Gold Mineable   oz 000   686
Total Cash Cost   US$/oz   581
Net Present Value @ 8%   US$ million   32.2
Discounted CAPEX   US$ million   167
Internal Rate of Return   %   17
Gold Production   Average Annual Ounces ‘000   96
   

The financial results indicated a five-year mine life, with net present value of US$32 million (before tax) and IRR of 17 per cent. The gold price assumption for the PEA was constant at US$1,200/oz. No other metals were considered payable.

Further details of project economics is detailed in a press release on Pantanillo dated 12 January 2012.

Water Requirements

OMI announced on November 9, 2011 that the Consortium made up by OMI and the LUMAX S.A. received a water exploration permit from the Chilean Water authority DGA for its Pantanillo Project in Chile. This latest advancement represented a significant development in the overall permitting process for the project. The consortium has since requested a proposal from Geohidrología Consultores in Chile to conduct exploration work. During the second half of fiscal 2012 geophysics and approximately 2,000 metres of RC exploration drilling will be conducted.

Talca – Chile

On August 30, 2011 OMI announced that it signed a definitive acquisition agreement for 100 per cent interest in the Talca gold property (“Talca”) in Chile’s Region IV. The Company and the vendors agreed to create a new company (“SCM”) to act as a holding company for the licenses covering Talca.

Talca is located 375km north of Santiago in Region IV of northern Chile and covers 1,680 hectares. The property is located 15 km to the west of Ruta 5 along the Chilean Pacific coast line in the Coastal Cordillera. The Tello family has owned and operated the property for approximately 40 years, having produced an estimated 300,000 ounces of gold during this time. Structural and alteration mapping, completed in the second quarter by consultant Nick Oliver of Holcombe, Coughlin & Oliver Associates (HCO), has confirmed gold-bearing structures and veins associated with faulting and pre to syn-mineralization andesite and basalt dykes on the property. These mineralized structures and veins are hosted in several rock types including meta-sediments in the form of quartzites and gneisses as well as meta-igneous mafic to ultramafic foliated amphibolites.

The principal structural controls on the property are two NNW (320° - 350°) trending shear/fault zones, the Metalera Fault and Monica Fault, 2-4 metres wide and between 0.7 and 1.2 km apart, that can be traced from 4 to 8 kilometres along the strike. Secondary structural control is marked by multiple ESE/WNW (270° - 310°) striking quartz veins 0.3 – 2 metres wide. Gold has been historically mined on both of these structural systems to depths of up to 250 metres. Production grades between 10 – 20 g/t gold have been reported. Visible gold is common. Although significant artisan mining has been undertaken over the years at Talca, the project has never been explored with modern technology and practices.

After a program of ground, mapping, and surface and underground sampling drilling commenced at the end of September 2011 with an initial planned 22 holes for a total of 4,158 metres of combined RC (2,687 metres) and diamond (1,471 metres) drilling. This first pass campaign planned to drill test the northern portion of the Metalera Fault system and parts of the Niebla vein. The most significant results reported from 20 holes assayed to date from this preliminary drilling in 2011 are summarized as follows:

Zone     Hole ID     From (m)     To (m)     Au g/t     Interval
Metalera Central     Talca-11-03DDH     170     176     0.64     6m @ 0.64 g/t Au
Niebla     Talca-11-10RC     133     136     1.1     3m @ 1.1 g/t Au
                   

The majority of the holes drilled were in the newly discovered northern portion of the Metalera Fault (seven holes) and easily accessible parts of the Niebla vein (ten holes) which had been mined over 120 metres of strike. Only limited drilling was done in the central and southern sectors of the property due to the need to identify and prepare drill platforms. During the current quarter the Company plans to target the down dip extent of previously worked sections of the Metalera, in the central zone, and in Sector Sur down dip of previously worked splay veins off the Metalera. Historically these two areas where reported as producing the greatest volume and highest grade gold. Historical workings in these sectors are known to go down to vertical depths of around 120 metres below surface. The stylized image, from the HCO structural report, below gives a 3-D image of the target zones in Sector Sur and Metalera Central.

[Figure showing in the original document]

The primary focus of the 2012 campaign is to continue drilling down dip of the known mineralized structures around Sector Sur and Metalera Central. The map below shows the holes drilled to date by OMI.

[Map showing at original document]

As core drill samples are obtained and as results warrant, OMI will commence a metallurgical test work programme so that data is generated to support the engineering studies on the project in a timely manner. Environmental base line data collection commenced in the second fiscal quarter 2012 to support the permitting process. The property is fully licensed from the existing operations and it may be possible to submit an upgrade of the current environmental license, rather than a full application, which OMI expects will take less than a year following submission to relevant authorities. The Company’s objective is to define the first Inferred NI-43101 resource calculation by mid calendar 2012.

Anillo – Chile

A review of the Anillo project has been completed during the quarter following the last deep RC drilling campaign in quarter one. This review has concluded that the targets generated in La Lengua and Anillo Central warrant additional testing together with Anillo West and Normandy. All of these areas show similar structural and alteration settings to Yamana’s El Peñon mine and Pampa Victoria discovery.

Yamana recently announced that they plan to invest around US$ 25 million on exploration around El Peñon and Pampa Victoria. This level of investment around the vicinity of OMIs Anillo property further highlights the need to continue working in the area.

More detailed mapping in the Anillo West will be undertaken, and by mid calendar 2012 further trenching will be completed in order to define a drill campaign. Follow up work will be completed around the sparse drilling that was undertaken in La Lengua, Anillo Central and Normandy, to define additional drill targets in each of these sectors.

Uruguay Exploration

Exploration for the quarter focused on San Gregorio, Santa María, Ombú, Picaflor and Rocha.

San Gregorio

During the quarter drilling results were compiled, all QA/QC work was completed and results were sent to Mine Development Associates (MDA) who are preparing an updated NI 43-101 compliant, Technical Report for San Gregorio to be released in the second half of fiscal 2011/2012.

The San Gregorio deposit includes the San Gregorio Main, Rieles and San Gregorio East pits and has historically produced in excess of 500,000 ounces. Infill drilling was designed to provide a resource update and allow optimization work to be completed in order to establish if the remaining ore zones should be mined by open pit, underground mining methods or a combination of both. A non compliant NI 43-101 preliminary economic analysis is in progress to assess this opportunity and will be released in the second half of this fiscal year. Feasibility work planned during the remainder of fiscal 2012 will be incorporated into an updated reserve and mine plan. The plan is to incorporate any extra reserves into the 2012 reserve disclosure.

Santa María

Drilling in the second quarter was previously reported. The last hole of the drill campaign SMRC026 intercepted 2 metres at 5.56 g/t from 37 metres. During the second half of 2012 a resource and reserve will be estimated for Santa Maria.

Ombú

The Ombú project is 100 metres west from the west end of the San Gregorio resource. It has historically produced 272,000 tonnes at 1.54 g/t for 13,500 ounces from a small open pit. Two exploration targets have been identified adjacent to the Ombu pit, Ombú East and Ombú West.

Ombú East is a 75 metres wide by 100 metres deep zone of mineralization to the east of the main mineralized body mined in the Ombú pit and is probably connected to it. Even though this is referred to as a lens, it is connected and continuous along strike of the Ombú pit and Ombú West mineralization. An RC drill programme of 600 metres in 5 holes at Ombú East was successfully completed in September 2011 testing the East zone continuity and defined the mineralized limits.

The Ombú West zone is the down dip and along strike extension of the Ombú Pit mineralization. An RC drill programme of 630 metres in 4 holes tested this west zone and another drill campaign is required to define the limits of the mineralization. There is potential for more high grade intersections as the mineralization is open both at depth and further to the west.

An In-house resource model is being developed for both targets combining previous drill results with the latest campaign.

Notable Results from this drill campaign are reported in the following table:

Picaflor

The Picaflor project is located 2.2km southeast of the town of Minas de Corrales and about 4.2 km east of the San Gregorio Plant. This mineralized zone comprises lensoid veins of quartz-pyrite developed along a sheared and brecciated contact between granite and metasediments.

An RC drill programme, completed in September 2011, better defined the continuity of the known mineralization and expanded the zone along strike. Individual mineralized lenses vary from 2 metres to 10 metres wide and dip60-70Ëš, and the vein system has been traced for 300 metres to the southwest. A total of 777 metres in 17 RC holes were completed in September and best intercepts are listed below:
