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 a maiden Resource of 305,000 oz Au in the JORC Inferred category at the Bibemi project and has identified multi-kilometre gold and lithium anomalism within the district-scale Central Licence Package project. The Company is currently working towards the completion of two earn-in agreements with Ghana-based BCM International Limited ('BCM') to fast track the Bibemi project and the Mbe licence (part of the CLP), with BCM committing to signature payments, US$4 million exploration and resource-based success payments at each project in return for up to 50% ownership. The deals are expected to be completed by the end of 2023.

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 by spending US$4 million and has the option to spend up to a further US$4 million by 28 February 2024 to earn a further 19% interest. The Company also has several interests and royalties in companies operating in East Africa and Turkey that could deliver future cash flow.
