Medoro Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: MRS) announced today the release of its audited consolidated financial results for the year ended December 31, 2009, together with the related management's discussion and analysis. All amounts are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated. For the year ended December 31, 2009 Medoro reported a net loss of $9.9 million or $0.06 per share compared to a net loss of $14.0 million or $0.17 per share for the prior year. The decrease in net loss for 2009 was primarily a result of the $10.7 million write-down of the Mali properties in the prior year and the related income tax effects, offset partially by an increase in non-cash stock based compensation of $6.2 million in 2009. As at December 31, 2009, the Company had $84.9 million in cash.

The Company completed three private placements during 2009 which provided a total of $112.6 million net of expenses of the placements. The funds used were principally for due diligence investigations and procedures on potential or announced acquisition targets in Colombia, the establishment of Colombian operations and for general corporate purposes.

During 2009, the Company reviewed its strategy and identified Colombia as an area for strategic investments and expansion in the gold industry. As a result of the successful implementation of this strategy the Company now owns most of the Marmato gold district in the Caldas Department of Colombia. The Company's Marmato Project comprises Zona Alta, which was acquired in October 2009, Echandia, acquired in February 2010 and Zona Baja, also acquired in February 2010.

"The year 2009 was an exciting one of transition for Medoro and we ended the year well funded with a strong position in Colombia. The Company now has a significant gold resource at Marmato, an operating underground gold mine and additional highly prospective exploration properties in the area. The year 2010 promises to be even more exciting for Medoro as the Company announced yesterday an agreement to purchase the assets of Frontino Gold Mines in Antioquia, Colombia, including three underground gold mines, one of which is currently in production. Medoro is continuing to position itself to become a leading gold producer in Colombia," said John Hick, CEO of Medoro. (Please see the Company's press release dated March 31, 2010.)

The audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009 and related MD&A, and the Company's Annual Information Form for 2009 have been filed and will be available on the Company's website at www.medororesources.com and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
