South Perth, December 18, 2003 -- Oropa is pleased to announce that the results from the latest two drillholes, SHDD027 and SHDD028, have extended further the excellent results from holes SHDD024, SHDD025 and SHDD026, as announced on 21 November 2003. The intercept within SHDD027 (17.90m @ 6.10 g/t Au) is particularly pleasing as it shows the potential for relatively wide intercepts of mineralization at good grade in the eastern portion of the resource.
Significant drillhole intercept results from SHDD027 and SHDD028 are as follows:
Oropa will continue its drilling programme in the eastern area of Sihayo 1 North to capitalize on these encouraging intercepts.
The overall result is the Sihayo 1 North prospect continues to grow into an exciting project. (End of release)

Editor's note: Oropa acquired 75 percent interest in Pungkut gold project late last year. State miner PT Aneka Tambang Tbk. holds the balance. Some 70 km north of Pungkut is Newmont's large Martabe gold project, located on the west coast of North Sumatra and which currently hosts an inferred gold resource of approximately 2.2 million ounces.
