Oriole Resources PLC provided a summary of the current work programmes on projects ongoing during first quarter of 2021. In Senegal, IAMGOLD has completed its 10,000 metre ('m') air core ('AC') drilling programme at the Senala project ('Senala'), as scheduled. As per the Company's previous guidance, it is anticipated that these results will be available during first quarter of 2021. The AC drilling is intended to better-define the geochemical footprint of the gold mineralisation at the Faré prospect, where historical drilling has returned best results of 20m grading 31.13 grammes per tonne ('g/t') gold ('Au') including 10m grading 60.98 g/t Au from reverse circulation ('RC') drilling and 59.60m grading 2.20 g/t Au and 49.50m grading 1.75 g/t Au from diamond drilling. Subject to the results of the AC drilling programme, IAMGOLD has planned a further 5,000m follow-up RC drilling and has also planned 1,000m diamond drilling to test mineralised intervals previously identified by Stratex International. IAMGOLD is currently in Year 3 of its earn-in to an initial 51% interest in Senala and, under the terms of the option agreement, must have spent a further US$1 million by the end of February 2021 to keep the option in good standing. In Cameroon, the Company anticipates first results from its maiden diamond drilling programme at the Bibemi project ('Bibemi') later this quarter and into Second Quarter (announcement dated 15 December 2020). The total planned programme now stands at 28 holes for 3,080m and will focus on testing the depth extension of surface gold mineralisation identified at four main prospects - Bakassi Zone 1, Bakassi Zone 2, Lawa West and Lawa East - that occur over an 8.3-kilometre-long system. Best results from the work completed to date include up to 135.40 g/t Au from selective rock-chip sampling (announcement dated 27 November 2018) and 9m grading 3.14 g/t Au from trench sampling (announcement dated 21 May 2019). Completion of the drilling programme at Bibemi is expected to see Oriole satisfy the conditions for the Company to earn a 90% interest in Bibemi and the nearby Wapouzé project ('Wapouzé').
