Key Headlines Impacting Oroco Resource

• Positive Sentiment: Oroco announced it has upsized the bought‑deal financing to as much as C$23 million to advance Santo Tomás — more cash for drilling and project work reduces near‑term funding risk. Upsizes Bought Deal to Up to C$23 Million
• Neutral Sentiment: Earlier bought‑deal announcements showed staged increases (initially C$15M, then C$17.25M), indicating the financing was being scaled — this signals demand from underwriters but exact pricing/structure and shareholder dilution depend on final terms. Raises Up to C$17.25 Million
• Negative Sentiment: The market reacted negatively to the upsized bought‑deal: the stock fell sharply on heavy volume as investors priced in near‑term dilution and increased share supply tied to the financing. Stock Tumbles After Increased Bought Deal
