Oriole Directors Rebalance Holdings via Bed and ISA Trades as African Gold Projects Advance

Oriole Resources PLC ( (GB:ORR) ) has shared an announcement.

Oriole Resources PLC has reported director dealings involving Chief Financial Officer Robert Smeeton and Executive Director of Exploration Claire Bay, who executed Bed and ISA transactions on 18 December 2025, each selling and then immediately repurchasing several million shares at 0.28 pence to move holdings into tax-efficient Individual Savings Accounts. Following these trades, Smeeton’s beneficial ownership stands at 47,002,118 shares, or 0.99% of the company’s issued share capital, while Bay now holds 16,298,491 shares, or 0.34%, signalling portfolio reorganisation rather than a directional change in insider exposure as the group advances its core gold exploration projects in Cameroon and Senegal with multiple partners in place.
