Oriole Resources PLC

('Oriole Resources' or 'the Company' or 'the Group')

Board commits to further Salary Sacrifice Plan,

New Share Option Remuneration Plan

and

Notification of Directors Dealings

Oriole Resources (AIM: ORR), the AIM-quoted exploration company focussed on West Africa, provides details of a further Salary Sacrifice Plan and a New Share Option Remuneration Plan agreed by the Board of Directors ('the Board'). This follows the completion last month of a share-based salary sacrifice scheme (announcement dated 12 May 2023) that saw the entire Board take shares in the Company in lieu of GBP90,000 net salary.

Oriole Resources Remuneration Committee Chairman, David Pelham , said: "This award of options reflects the continuing desire of the Board to invest salaries into the equity of the Company, so retaining cash for exploration purposes, and also recognises the success of the team in delivering exploration objectives in Cameroon. The salary sacrifice element of this award replaces the salary sacrifice for shares arrangements that have been running since June 2022. "

Salary Sacrifice Plan

In order to continue to maximise cash available for ongoing exploration work, the Board has agreed to a new plan to sacrifice 25% of its contractual salary payments for the six-month period commencing May 2023 in return for the issue of share options. Share options are considered a more favourable financial instrument than fully-paid shares, since the tax deferral that options provide will enable significantly more cash conservation in the Company.

New Share Option Remuneration Plan

Alongside the Salary Sacrifice Plan, the Company has also agreed to grant options to the Company's Board and to certain members of staff. Additionally, an incentive scheme is being introduced in respect of the Company's Cameroonian employees who have worked hard to successfully deliver Cameroons first JORC compliant resource for gold. The Company has made this award in order to compensate the team for its dedication, hard work, and in lieu of material salary increases that would be in line with inflationary wage trends.

The awards have been determined by the Remuneration Committee and, in the case of the members of the Remuneration Committee and other employees, determined by the Executive Directors.

In aggregate, the Company is to issue 177,000,000 options ('the Options') at an exercise price of 0.2 pence per Ordinary Share of the Company ('Ordinary Shares'), an 8% premium to the closing price at 26 May 2023, utilising the Company's existing shareholder authority.

These options will vest in the following tranches:

Notes to Editors:

Oriole Resources PLC is an AIM-listed gold exploration company, operating in West Africa. It is focussed on early-stage exploration in Cameroon, where the Company has a maiden Resource of 305,000 oz Au in the JORC Inferred category at the Bibemi project and has identified multi-kilometre gold and lithium anomalism within the district-scale Central Licence Package project. At the more advanced Senala gold project in Senegal, Oriole was advised by IAMGOLD on 26 April 2023 that AGEM Senegal Exploration Suarl ('AGEM') was now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Managem Group. As previously announced, AGEM has earned an initial 51% beneficial interest by spending US$4 million and has the option to spend up to a further US$4 million by 28 February 2024 to earn a further 19% interest. Reverse Circulation drilling is planned as part of AGEM's Year 6 programme at Senala. The Company also has several interests and royalties in companies operating in East Africa and Turkey that could deliver future cash flow.
