APPOINTMENT OF MERRILL LYNCH AS DEFENCE ADVI SER

Orbis Gold Limited ("Orbis Gold" or the "Company") today advises that it has appointed Merrill Lynch as its defence adviser.
The appointment follows recent confidential approaches made to Orbis Gold in relation to a range of potential transactions, at both a corporate and asset level. There are no assurances that the approaches will lead to an offer for the Company or its assets being made, either now or in the future.
Orbis Gold is committed to advancing its flagship Natougou Gold Project (Burkina Faso) to production and to growing its high‐grade mineral resource inventory through ongoing exploration of its highly prospective permit portfolio.
For further information outlining Orbis Gold's clear path to high grade, low cost gold production, refer to the investor presentation released to the ASX on 7 October 2014.
