LAS VEGAS, NV , April 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Orofino Gold Corp. ("Orofino" or the "Company") (ORFG.PK) Chairman Dr. Hans J. Bocker is pleased to announce that the Company will be in the current status category as of April 25, 2013 .

This update outlining the Company's focus on Colombian mining assets.

The Company is continuing its planned operation in the Sur de Bolivar region of Colombia and specifically at La Azul (Estrella Mine), where gold and silver samples averaged 56 and 116 grams per tonne respectively. There is a plan for the addition of more modern production operations  and technically improved recoveries that will yield higher grams of gold per tonne. The new technology is portable and scaleable and with the high average grades of operations can be expanded to become the financial driver for more development work and expanded production tonnage.

Orofino Gold Corp. is working to become a low cost/high value producer with an environmentally sensitive operation that creates more jobs and less impact on the environment.
