Notes to Editors:

Oriole Resources PLC is an AIM-listed gold exploration company, operating in West Africa. It is focussed on early-stage exploration in Cameroon, where the Company has reported a Resource of 375,000 oz Au at 2.30g/t in the JORC Inferred category at its 82.2%-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 projects in return for a combined investment of US$1.5m in signature payments (US$550,000 of which has already been received), up to US$8m in exploration expenditure, as well as JORC resource-based success payments.

At the more advanced Senala gold project in Senegal, AGEM Senegal Exploration Suarl ('AGEM'), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Managem Group, has earned an initial 51% beneficial interest in the Senala Exploration Licence by spending US$4 million and has the option to spend up to a further US$4 million by 17 February 2024 to earn an additional 19% interest in the licence. The Company also has several interests and royalties in companies operating in East Africa and Turkey that could deliver future cash flow.
