Notes to Editors:

 

Oriole Resources PLC is an AIM-quoted gold exploration company, with projects
in West and Central Africa.  It is focused on early-stage 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 JORC Inferred MRE of 870,000oz at
1.09g/t Au for the MB01-S zone, and an Exploration Target range of 15Mt to
20Mt at a grade of 0.77g/t to 0.94g/t Au for 370,000oz to 605,000oz contained
gold for the MB01-N zone.  A fully funded maiden drilling programme commenced
in November 2025 at MB01-N with the aim of converting the existing Exploration
Target to a Resource.  BCM is nearing completion of US$4 million in
exploration expenditure at Mbe, which will see it earn a 50% interest.

 

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 International completed its earn-in to a 50% interest in
Bibemi by meeting certain payment conditions including spending a further
US$4m 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 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.
