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

Oriole Resources PLC has started a 2,500 metre Phase 3 step-out diamond drilling programme at the MB01-S deposit within its 50%-owned Mbe gold project in Cameroon, targeting extensions of the existing 870,000 ounce JORC Inferred resource that remains open in all directions. The work is intended to grow Mbe’s resource base and follows the completion of maiden drilling at the nearby MB01-N target, where a separate maiden resource estimate is due in early Q2 2026 and where a joint venture agreement is being drafted to formalise partner BCM’s 50% beneficial interest.

The MB01-S campaign is expected to add further ounces to Mbe’s global resource later this year, reinforcing the project’s role as Oriole’s key growth engine in Cameroon. Alongside advancing MB01-N towards a resource and progressing joint venture structuring with BCM, these steps signal a move towards larger-scale development potential across Oriole’s Cameroon portfolio and could strengthen its position within the regional gold exploration sector.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:ORR) stock is a Hold with a £0.37 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Oriole Resources PLC stock, see the GB:ORR Stock Forecast page.
