Notes to Editors:

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 JORC Inferred MRE of 870,000oz at 1.09g/t Au for the MB01-S deposit, 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 target.  A fully funded maiden drilling programme commenced in November 2025 and was completed in February 2026 at MB01-N, with the aim of converting the existing Exploration Target to a Resource.   Following the completion of the MB01-N drilling programme, and by meeting various financial commitments, BCM has earned a 50% interest in the project.  Drafting of a JV partnership agreement is in progress.  Mineral Resource Estimation work for MB01-N will commence shortly.

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.
