Oriole Resources plc has progressed early-stage exploration on the four licences in its 90%-owned eastern Central Licence Package, which has a “district-scale potential” in Cameroon.
ANOMALISM
Ndom, Pokor, Niambaram and Tenekou are located contiguous with the company’s 50%-owned Mbe licence.
Completed geological and regolith mapping over approximately 9km2 on the PK01 target at Pokor has confirmed a “comparable” geological setting to Mbe.
“Selective rock-chip sampling of quartz veins within the mapping area has returned up to 1.24g/t Au related to a 1km-long gold-in-soil anomaly,” said Oriole.
Mapping and rock-chip sampling completed last month on the ND02 target at Ndom, and returned up to 17gramme per tonnes gold from selective quartz veins over a 3km x 2km zone.
The company is currently conducting an infill soil sampling programme over the ND01 target, located to the southwest.
Mapping and rock-chip sampling has also started at Niambaram, to test identified rock-chip and soil sampling anomalism.
Oriole expects results during Q2 2026 from two regional soil sampling grids in the northern half of the licence, over previously identified anomalous gold-in-stream sediment results.
Chief executive officer Martin Rosser added: “Our recent Eastern CLP exploration work and results continue to support the significant prospectivity and potential we see for further gold discoveries to be made, in addition to the major and current 1.23Moz JORC resource reported at Mbe.”
