BCM Group and Oriole Resources Maiden Drilling at Mbe Gold Project, Cameroon

BCM Group, in partnership with Oriole Resources PLC, has successfully completed the maiden diamond drilling programme at the MB01-N target of the Mbe Gold Project in Cameroon.

The programme delivered 3,000 metres of drilling across 15 holes, marking a significant milestone in advancing the project.

Following the completion of the drilling programme, BCM Group has earned a 50% beneficial interest in the project. Administrative steps to formalise the joint venture agreement are currently underway, reinforcing the partnership and demonstrating a long-term commitment to the development of the asset.

The MB01-N target lies approximately 700 metres northeast of the existing MB01-S JORC Inferred Resource, which contains 870,000 ounces of gold at 1.09 grams per tonne, and hosts a published exploration target of 370,000 to 605,000 ounces of contained gold.

Assay results for six of the drilled holes are expected in the first quarter of 2026, after which a maiden JORC Resource estimate for MB01-N will be prepared.

BCM Group has also announced plans for a fully funded step-out drilling programme at MB01-S, scheduled for the second quarter of 2026. The company said the completion of the maiden drilling programme reflects its ongoing commitment to operational excellence, strategic partnerships, and the responsible advancement of high-potential mineral assets.
