Oriole Resources plc reported an extension to the width and length of the mineralised system, based on further gold intersections at the Mbe project in the Adamawa Region of central Cameroon.

Operator BCM International Ltd has to date completed 90% of the 2,950 metre diamond drilling programme at the MB01-N target, with 2,650m drilled in 13 holes, and two holes remaining.
Three most recent holes returned “gold-bearing” intersections among a total of 23 mineralised intersections.
Cora said that the system was now at least 300m wide, 550m long with a 185m vertical depth, and remains open in all directions.
Results from hole MBDD031 included 7m at 1.02 grams per ton gold from 49.50m, including 1.00m at 3.99g/t gold.
Drill hole MBDD033 returns included 1.10m at 4.39g/t gold from 177.20m, and MBDD032 showed 4.00m at 0.35g/t gold from 212.50m
Drilling is due to complete during early Q2 2026, ahead of an inaugural JORC resource for the MB01-N target.
The MRE will add to the existing 870,000oz JORC resource at the MB01-S deposit, where a step-out drilling programme will begin during Q2 2026.
BCM is paying Oriole US$900,000 and $300,000 towards drilling costs for up to 50% of the licence.
Mbe lies adjacent to the 2,266 km2 Eastern Central Licence Package, which includes the Ndom, Pokor, Niambaram and Tenekou licences.
