Oriole Resources (AIM:ORR) shares climbed 6.9%, to 0.31p, after the company flagged high‑grade rock‑chip and soil anomalies from exploration across its Eastern Central Licence Package in Cameroon.
Selective sampling at the PK01 target in Pokor returned a best rock-chip result of 1.24g/t Au from 107 samples (14 >0.1g/t), mapping at Ndom’s ND02 delivered up to 17.00g/t Au from quartz veins across a 3km by 2km zone, and 34 rock chips at Niambaram returned a top result of 1.39g/t Au while regional soil grids and follow-up mapping continue with results expected in H2-2026.
"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," said CEO Martin Rosser.
Programmes are continuing across the Eastern CLP with infill sampling at ND01 and additional mapping and rock‑chip work at Niambaram, and the company said it will announce meaningful results as they are received.
Thursday's announcement also reiterates partner earn-in mechanics at Oriole projects: BCM has met payment and spend conditions to earn 50% of Mbe and drafting of a JV agreement is nearing completion, BCM earned 50% at Bibemi after US$4m of exploration spend, and AGEM (a wholly owned subsidiary of Managem Group) completed a six‑year earn‑in to c.59% at Senala after US$5.8m with joint‑venture discussions ongoing.
