Orezone Gold Corporation (TSX:ORE) is pleased to announce that it has sold its
11 million share holding in Amara Mining PLC for net proceeds of approximately
$3.4 million USD. The shares were part of the consideration received by the
Company for the sale of its Sega Gold Project to Amara in May 2012. 


"The additional cash provides us with a financial cushion and time to consider
full project financing options after we have completed the ongoing feasibility
study and mining permit application for our Bombore Gold Project in Burkina
Faso, West Africa", stated Ron Little CEO for Orezone.

owns a 100% interest in Bombore which is situated 85 km east of the capital

benefits from size, location, low reagent consumption, rapid leaching kinetics,
