Oriole Resources plc reported the start of infill sampling at the early-stage 312km2 Mbe gold project on the Eastern Central Licence Package in Cameroon.
ANOMALISM
The company believes it has identified targets “indicative of a corridor of gold mineralisation” running across all five of its Eastern CLP licences.
Earn-in partner BCM International Ltd completed its due diligence in January and is currently compiling results of completed structural mapping of the pits.
BCM’s infill sampling at the main 3-km long target of MB-01 will better “constrain the anomalism” before a planned trenching programme during Q2.
Infill soil sampling is also planned over the wider 12.5km-long zone of soil anomalism at Mbe, identified during the semi-regional programme, expected to begin later this quarter.
Mbe is one of five licences within the broader 2,266km2 Eastern CLP package of contiguous gold-focused licences.
Oriole chief executive Tim Livesey said that the remaining four, comprising Tenekou, Niambaram, Pokor and Ndom, remained under Oriole’s control and management.
