Investment Update on Thani Stratex Resources

Oriole Resources PLC (AIM: ORR), the AIM-quoted exploration company focussed on West Africa, provides an update on its 24.92% interest in Thani Stratex Resources Limited ('TSR') which, through its local subsidiary Thani Dubai Mining, holds a 93% interest in the Hodine exploration licence in Egypt ('Hodine' or the 'Licence').

Further to signing a binding Heads of Terms agreement with private investment company Red Sea Resources Ltd ('RSR') earlier this year (announcement dated 16 March 2021), the Company is pleased to report that RSR has now successfully renewed the Licence.

Drilling has now commenced on the Licence as part of RSR's First Option to spend US$1.2 million on exploration within 12 months in return for a 51% interest in Hodine.

For further information on the Company's investment in TSR, please see the following page of the Company's website https://orioleresources.com/investments/hutite-and-anbat/. The Company will provide further updates in due course. 

Oriole Resources CEO, Tim Livesey, said: "We are pleased to see the Licence renewal has been completed smoothly and that the exploration programme has started. With existing JORC and non-JORC resources on the Licence from previous drilling, we expect there will be continued success in resource development on this promising Licence. As a Director of the holding company, and TSR's board representative, I continue to monitor the ongoing progress at Hodine."
