Notes to Editors:

 

Oriole Resources PLC is an AIM-listed gold exploration company, operating
in Central and West Africa.  It is focussed on early-stage exploration
in Cameroon, where the Company has reported a Resource of 375,000oz Au at
2.30g/t in the JORC Inferred category at its 82.2 1 %-owned Bibemi project and
has identified multi-kilometre gold and lithium anomalism within the
district-scale Central Licence Package project.   BCM International is
currently earning up to a 50% interest in the Bibemi and Mbe licences in
return for a combined investment of US$1.5 million in signature payments, up
to US$8 million in exploration expenditure, as well as JORC resource-based
success payments.

At the Senala gold project in Senegal, AGEM Senegal Exploration Suarl
('AGEM'), a wholly owned subsidiary of Managem Group, has recently completed
a six-year earn-in to acquire an estimated 59% beneficial interest in the
Senala Exploration Licence by spending US$5.8 million.  A review of
expenditure and discussions on the formation of a joint-venture company are
currently underway.  The Company also has several interests and royalties in
companies active in East Africa and Turkey that could deliver future cash
flow.
