OROMONTE ACQUIRES PROSPECTIVE PROPERTY IN BRITISH COLUMBIA

Nelson, B.C., April 10, 2008: Oromonte Resources Inc. (ORR:TSX-V; OF6:FRA) announces that it has staked nine claims encompassing 215 contiguous units consisting of approximately 4462 hectares in the prolific Tillicum Mountain area in the West Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia.

The Company’s claims are within the Caribou Creek drainage system about 17 km east of the village of Burton. Several inactive small scale hard rock mine workings are found throughout the area. The adjacent Tillicum Mountain Gold Property to the south and southeast has “10 known deposits and prospects of gold-silver mineralization”. The property “covers a portion of a roof pendant situated at the northwest end of a 250 kilometer long arcuate belt of Rossland Group volcanics. The belt is host to several gold mines and prospects with recorded production in excess of 4 million ounces of gold.” (Tillicum Mountain Assessment Work Report – Geologic Systems Ltd. April 2003)

This is the initial Canadian acquisition for Oromonte as it begins implementing its pro-active development strategy outside Ecuador. The strategy is enabled in the short-term by the Company’s 1.5 million dollar treasury. The Company has also been actively engaged in discussions with potential joint venture partners to develop its Ecuadorean properties while it continues to work with government officials to move its environmental studies and exploration permit approvals forward.

In addition, the Company has focused its Ecuadorean exploration targets on the most promising concessions and anomalous areas within the Company’s property portfolio. It has thereby reduced its annual patent payments and its property portfolio by 39,600.90 hectares The Company has paid the required annual patents for the current year to maintain its Chimbuza and Marissa properties. It has retained 16,730.70 hectares of its former 34,108.70 hectare Pangui holdings and has also retained 33,095.3 hectares of its former 55,318.20 hectare Virgen del Cisne interests. Within the latter property, seven concessions consisting of 17,787.30 hectares contain forest protected areas where final title transfer is dependent upon government approval of the required environmental studies submitted in April 2007 and for which no patent payments are due at this time. The Company’s total property portfolio in Ecuador is now 53,751 hectares.

Oromonte’s President, Burkhard Franz, states that “In taking these actions our Company is being pro-active in protecting and enhancing our shareholders’ interests given the current domestic market conditions and challenging mining exploration environment in Ecuador”.
