Awalé Resources Limited reported significant assay results at the Odienné Project. The BBM Zone is a grassroots discovery announced in Awale's January 11, 2024 news release. These latest holes followed up on this promising new discovery, and the Company expects to restart drilling in April.

These multiple, shallow, broad, high- grade intercepts demonstrate the BBM zone's excellent continuity and scale potential. All holes were mineralized and intercepted target geology. Mineralization remains open in all directions.

The gold and copper mineralization and alteration are controlled by a shear zone that follows an intrusive/sedimentary contact. Drilling now covers 2 km of strike along this shear zone, which sits within a high tenor, and open 8km long geochemical gold in termitaria trend. This drilling has been completed on 8 sections with a minimum spacing of 150 m between sections and up to 500m step-outs to the SE and NW.

All holes have intercepted mineralization. All assay results from 14 holes for 2537 m drilled at BBM have been returned. With an established robust geologic framework, the Company can progress with a targeted drilling program to scope size potential, geological and grade continuity of the mineralization as well as test for new parallel shoots along the 8km of open strike.
