Oriole Resources PLC (AIM:ORR, FRA:S1Y) has received further results from its maiden 2,950 metre diamond drilling programme at the MB01-N target on the Mbe gold project in Cameroon.
Oriole said holes MBDD027 to MBDD030 returned multiple gold intersections, including 16.10 metres at 2.49 g/t Au from 152.40 metres in MBDD027, with 1.00 metre at 28.60 g/t Au from 159.50 metres. It said the programme is about 70% complete, with over 2,000 metres drilled across ten holes.
"We are pleased to report another set of significant results from the drilling at MB01-N, particularly good is the 16.10m at 2.49g/t Au from 152.40m in hole MBDD027," said chief executive Martin Rosser.
"Moreover, MBDD027 has returned the deepest intersection at MB01-N to date, confirming the system to at least around 160m vertical depth from surface."
He added: "The programme continues to progress at a good rate and is already over two thirds complete. We look forward to reporting further results over the coming weeks until its completion."
Oriole said the drilling is expected to complete later in Q1 2026, after which its consultant will prepare a maiden JORC Resource for MB01-N to add to the existing 870,000 ounces JORC Resource at the nearby MB01-S deposit.
