('Oriole Resources' or 'Oriole' or 'the Company')

Completion of Second Option Period at Senala

Oriole Resources (AIM: ORR), the AIM-quoted gold exploration company focussed on West Africa, provides an update on its Senala gold project in Senegal ('Senala' or the 'Project'), where AGEM Senegal Exploration Suarl ('AGEM'), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Managem Group ('Managem'), has now completed a six-year earn-in period at the Project. Oriole's interest in Senala is held via its 85% interest in Stratex-EMC Sarl ('Stratex-EMC'), the holding vehicle for the Senala Exploration Licence.

Managem has confirmed to the Company that, since the 2018 Option Agreement was signed (announcement dated 1 March 2018), AGEM has spent approximately US$5.8 million on the Project. Accordingly, AGEM's beneficial ownership position in the Senala Exploration Licence is estimated to be 59%, and Oriole will shortly be undertaking a review of expenditure to confirm this percentage ownership.

Discussion on the next steps are underway, which would include:

· the formation of a joint-venture company and associated technical committee;

· the submission of a work plan and budget by Managem; and

· a decision by Stratex-EMC on whether to contribute to the work costs or dilute its percentage ownership.

On the basis that Stratex-EMC does not contribute, it is estimated that Managem would need to spend a further US$31 million at the Project to dilute Stratex-EMC below 10%, after which its interest would convert to a 2% net smelter returns ('NSR') royalty. It should be noted that there exists a mutual right of first refusal should either party look to sell its interest in Senala.

As previously reported, a renewal application has also been submitted, under the existing holding entity of Stratex-EMC, for a further three-year term (announcement dated 2 January 2024). A decision on this renewal is awaited.

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$1.05m 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 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 operating in East Africa and Turkey that could deliver future cash flow.
