Notes to Editors:

Oriole Resources

 

Oriole Resources PLC is an AIM-quoted gold exploration company, with projects
in Central and West Africa.  It is currently focused on exploration in
Cameroon.

 

At its district scale Central Licence Package, the Company has identified
multi-kilometre long gold anomalies, including at its flagship Mbe project.
At Mbe, the Company has published a global JORC Inferred MRE of 1.23Moz
contained gold at MB01, consisting of 870koz at 1.09g/t Au for the MB01-S
deposit, and 360koz at 1.05g/t Au for the MB01-N deposit.  A fully funded
2,500m step out drilling programme is underway at MB01-S with the aim of
further increasing the total resource at Mbe.   Following the completion of
the MB01-N drilling programme, and by meeting various financial commitments,
BCM has earned a 50% interest in the Mbe project.  Drafting of a JV
partnership agreement is in progress.

 

The Company has also reported a Resource of 460,000oz contained gold at
2.06g/t Au in the JORC Indicated and Inferred categories at its 50% owned
Bibemi project, where it has applied for an Exploitation Licence.  In
November 2025, BCM completed its earn-in to give it a 50% interest in Bibemi
by meeting certain payment conditions, including spending US$4 million on
exploration.

 

At the Senala gold project in Senegal, AGEM Senegal Exploration Suarl
('AGEM'), a wholly owned subsidiary of Managem Group, has completed a six-year
earn-in to acquire an approximate 59% beneficial interest in the Senala
Exploration Licence by spending US$5.8 million.  The Company has reported a
Resource of 155,000oz contained gold at 1.26g/t Au (using a gold price of
US$1,800/oz)  in the JORC Inferred category for the Faré South prospect, and
an additional, complementary Exploration Target range of 17Mt to 24Mt at a
grade of 0.69g/t to 0.84g/t Au for 380,000oz to 650,000oz contained gold for
all prospects at Senala.  Best results to date include 20.00m grading 31.13
g/t Au including 10.00m grading 60.98 g/t Au from RC drilling and 59.60m
grading 2.20 g/t Au from diamond drilling.  Discussions on the formation of a
joint venture company are currently underway.

 

The Company also has several interests and royalties in companies operating in
East Africa and Turkey that could give future cash payments.

 

Background on Mbe

 

Mbe, with a licence area of 312km(2), is an orogenic gold project located
within the broader 2,266km(2) 'Eastern CLP' package of five contiguous gold
focused exploration licences mainly in the Adamawa Region of central
Cameroon.  Since 2022, the Company's systematic exploration programmes have
identified four geochemical targets, named MB01-MB04.

 

At the 3km long MB01 prospect, increased dilation at the sites of structural
intersections (steeply dipping NNE and NNW trending shear structures) is
believed to have resulted in enhanced levels of gold deposition at the
northern target, MB01-N, and the southern deposit, MB01-S.  Gold
mineralisation at Mbe comprises high-grade, sulphide- and telluride-rich
quartz veins, veinlets and breccias within wider envelopes of pervasive,
lower-grade gold mineralisation.

 

After highly encouraging results from infill soil sampling, rock-chip
sampling, and trench sampling, a fully funded maiden drilling programme at the
MB01-S target was completed in September 2025 for 6,828.40m in 24 holes.
Best drilling results included 86.50m at 1.36g/t Au from 22.00m including
39.40m at 2.00g/t Au (hole MBDD008), 21.30m at 1.61g/t Au from 2.40m (MBDD012)
and 6.15m at 19.67g/t Au from 113.50m, including 1.00m at 119.10g/t Au
(MBDD019).  In October 2025, a maiden MRE was published for the MB01-S
deposit of 870,000oz at 1.09g/t, using a US$3,200/oz gold price and a cut-off
grade of 0.40g/t Au.  Mineralisation at MB01-S remains open in all directions
and at depth and is in part being targeted by the on-going, fully funded,
MB01-S step out drilling programme which commenced in March 2026.

 

At the MB01-N target, 700m to the northeast of MB01-S, a 2,982.80m drilling
programme in 15 holes was completed in February 2026.  Best drilling results
included 21.70m at 3.13g/t Au including 7.20m at 8.19g/t Au (from hole
MBDD026), 56.20m at 0.99g/t Au including 14.60m at 2.03g/t Au and 24.00m at
0.37g/t Au including 2.00m at 2.21g/t Au (from hole MBDD039), and  16.10m at
2.49g/t Au including 1.00m at 28.60g/t Au, 2.00m at 6.57g/t Au and 14.80m at
0.73g/t Au (from hole MBDD027).  The maiden MRE was published in April 2026
and stands at 360,000oz at 1.05g/t, using a using a US$3,200/oz gold price and
a cut-off grade of 0.40g/t Au.  This has increased the total resource at Mbe
which currently stands at 1.23Moz contained Au.

 

Following completion of the MB01-N drilling programme, and the meeting of
various financial commitments, BCM has acquired 50% interest in the project
and work remains underway to formalise this interest.
