Awalé Uncovers 3.5km Gold Footprint on 100%-Owned Ground and on Trend from the BBM Discovery

Awalé Uncovers 3.5km Gold Footprint on 100%-Owned Ground and on Trend from the BBM Discovery

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Greater than 37ppb gold footprint over a 3.5 kilometre open trend with peak value of 1.3 grams gold.

  • The 'Sienso' gold footprint is next door to the BBM discovery - only 4km away.

  • Was revealed by the same Termite Mound sampling methodology used at BBM.

  • The 'Sienso' trend remains open to the south.

  • 'Sienso' is situated within 100% Awalé owned property.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 22, 2024) - Awalé Resources Limited. (TSXV: ARIC) ("Awalé" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has uncovered a new and open 3.5 kilometre ("km") long > 37 parts per billion ("ppb") gold in termitaria footprint with a peak value of 1.3 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au"). The program was completed within Awalé's 100%-owned 'Sienso' permit next door to the BBM discovery which lies 4km along strike to the northwest (see Figures 1 and 2).

"This new find at Sienso was made using the same termite mound sampling method that led to the BBM discovery. Termite mounds are great exploration tools as they provide in-situ sample from deep in the ground to be analysed for gold and other metals. This methodology has proven effective in our terrain, and we are delighted termitaria sampling has uncovered another large gold footprint at such an early stage of exploration on our 100%-owned ground. The discovery hole at BBM was drilled under a 1.2 g/t termitaria sample, so we are excited to follow-up this new target given its proximity and similar characteristics to BBM. With the seasonal rains soon subsiding, we will proceed with an Induced Polarization ("IP") geophysics program over this anomaly. If the geophysical results support the anomaly we will drill this target at the earliest opportunity."- Commented Andrew Chubb, CEO of Awalé Resources.

Awalé completed a soil and termitaria survey in 2 phases: initially at a 400m x 50m spacing, followed by infill to a 200m x 50m spacing. All samples were analysed with a portable X-Ray Fluorescence (pXRF) machine and samples were selected for gold analysis after mapping the anomalous pathfinder elements. Higher tenor anomalism within the 3.5km trend is coincident with a bend in the structural trend, similar to the BBM discovery. Additionally, there are coincident late intrusive rocks spatially associated with the change in strike that also show similarities to the BBM discovery.

100%-Owned Awalé

Sienso's gold footprint is part of Awalé Resources' 100%-owned ground. The Company's Odienné Project consists of five (5) permits spanning 1,693 km2, all 100% Awalé owned - comprising the permits shown in orange in Figure 1. The Awalé-Newmont Joint Venture ("OJV") consists of two additional permits contiguous within the Odienné Project and cover a total area of 796 km2 (hatched permits in Figure 1). Awalé manages all exploration activities at OJV, with funding provided by Newmont Joint Ventures Limited ("Newmont") (see May 31, 2022 news release).

Awalé has discovered four gold, gold-copper, and gold-copper-silver-molybdenum discoveries within the OJV and has recently commenced exploration on its 100%-owned properties following an $11.5 million capital raise in April 2024.

The Odienné Project is underexplored and has multiple pipeline prospects with similar geochemical signatures to Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) and intrusive-related mineral systems with substantial upside potential. The Company benefits from a skilled and well seasoned technical team that allows it to continue exploring in a pro-mining jurisdiction that offers significant potential for district-scale discoveries.

Next Steps for the Sienso Permit

In this quarter, the Company will conduct IP geophysics over the new target area. If the results from the program align with the geochemical anomaly, an initial drill program will follow in Q1 2025. Surface Termitaria and Soil geochemistry will continue along the open southern extensions of the anomalies mentioned in this release as well as new programs along parralel structural targets further east within the Sienso permit area.

About Awalé Resources

Awalé is a diligent and systematic mineral exploration company focused on discovering large high-grade gold and copper-gold deposits. Exploration activities are currently undertaken in the underexplored regions of Côte d'Ivoire, where the Company is focused on the Odienné Copper-Gold Project spanning 2,489 km2 in seven permits.

Quality Control and Assurance

pXRF analysis is completed by the company with an Innov-X Vanta Handheld XRF Analyser, samples are hand crushed and dried where necessary and sieved to -80 mesh (passing 170 micron) and analysed for 90 seconds using 3beam 'soil mode'. Standards are used in the stream every 50 analyses; field duplicates are also routinely analysed. Selected samples are sent to the laboratory where analytical work for soil and termitaria geochemical samples is being carried out at the independent Intertek Laboratories Australia Ltd. an ISO 17025 (2017) Certified Laboratory. Samples are stored at the Company's field camps and put into sealed bags until collected by Intertek from the Company's secure Odienné office and transported by Intertek to their laboratory in Tarkwa. Samples are logged in the tracking system, weighed, dried, and pulverized to better than 85%, passing a 75-micron screen. Samples were fire assayed with an AAS finish. Blanks, duplicates, and certified reference material (standards) are being used to monitor laboratory performance during the analysis.
