Orion Gold NL (ASX: ORN) ("Orion" or the "Company") advises that it has today sent the Prospectus and Entitlement and Acceptances Form to eligible shareholders for its renounceable entitlement issue announced on 29 September 2014.
Under the entitlement issue, shares are being offered to eligible shareholders on the basis of 1 ordinary share for every 3 shares held at an issue price of $0.03 per share ("Entitlement Issue").
Eligible shareholders' entitlements are set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form sent with the Prospectus. Shareholders will also be given priority to apply for shortfall shares in addition to their entitlement. A copy of the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is attached.
The principal objective of undertaking the Entitlements Issue is to raise sufficient funds to enable the Company to undertake follow up exploration programs at its Fraser Range Nickel-Gold Project in Western Australia and its Connors Arc Epithermal Gold Project in Queensland.
The Entitlement Issue is underwritten to an aggregate of $1 million by Tarney Holdings Pty Ltd (related to the Company's Chairman Denis Waddell), Orion's Managing Director Errol Smart and shareholders Mr Michael and Mrs Susan Lynch and Mr Michael Fotios. Orion's Fraser Range joint venture partner and shareholder, Mark Creasy, has committed to participate in the Entitlement Issue.
As set out in the Prospectus the closing date for acceptances under the Entitlement Issue is 14 November 2014 unless otherwise extended by the Directors.
A copy of the Prospectus is available on both the ASX website (www.asx.com.au) and the Company's website (www.oriongold.com.au).
Rights to subscribe for shares under the Entitlement Issue commenced trading on the ASX on 24 October 2014 (ASX: ORNR) and stop trading on 7 November 2014.

About Orion
Orion Gold is focused on acquiring, exploring and developing large tenement holdings or regional scale mineral opportunities in world-class mineral provinces. The Company has acquired quality projects in proven mineral provinces, including a substantial tenement holding in the Albany-Fraser Belt, host to Australia's two most significant discoveries of the last decade (the Tropicana Gold Deposit and the Nova Nickel-Copper-Cobalt Deposit). Part of this tenement holding was acquired from entities associated with Mark Creasy who is now a significant shareholder in Orion. The project area was previously explored by Western Areas Ltd who identified mafic-ultramafic intrusives within the project area as well as nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE anomalies. Orion's intensive, systematic exploration programs have successfully defined 23 targets to date by a combination of geological, geochemical and geophysical methods.
The Company has identified a significant intermediate sulphidation epithermal gold and silver system at Aurora Flats on the Connors Arc in Queensland. The project lies between the well known Cracow and Mt Carlton epithermal deposits. The Company is increasing its focus on this project, following promising reports from expert consultants.
Additionally the Company has an interest in the Walhalla Project located in Victoria, where it is focusing on exploration for Copper-PGE and has entered into an agreement with A1 Mining regarding the gold rights on the tenements.
The Company has an experienced management team with a proven track record in exploration, development and adding shareholder value.
