Highlights:

• 14.7 g/t gold over 59 metres, or 868-gram-metres gold, from 96m downhole, including 22.4 g/t Au over 21m
• Results confirm a very high-grade gold zone with strong continuity, identifying a 200-metre long corridor.
• Awale now has three of the highest-grade intercepts in West Africa over the last 12 months.
• Orecap owns 7.38M shares of Awale, representing 8.5% of the shares issued and outstanding, and an additional 4.16M share purchase warrants.  

Toronto, Ontario – November 13, 2024 – Orecap Invest Corp. (the "Company" or "Orecap") (OCI.V | ORFDF:OTC) is pleased to announce that its portfolio company, Awalé Resources Limited (ARIC:TSXV) (“Awale”) reported results of the final four holes from the Charger target at the Odienné Project (“Odienné”), including 14.7 g/t Au over 59m in drill hole OEDD-100.

“We have now established the breccia's true width at over 30 metres, within a 200-metre strike length of breccia mineralization, and the very high-grade gold is concentrated in fold hinges within this corridor. Importantly, our understanding of Charger’s structure has evolved, allowing us to test our new fold model within the current corridor and step out to explore potential parallel zones. With this refined structural model, we’re confident in continuing our success at Charger.

We are very pleased with the latest results and the successful outcome of this drill campaign, which delivered multiple high-grade hits at Charger and drilling through 100m of the target breccia body at depth. These holes established both grade and geological continuity of the breccia mineralization. The    14 g/t Au over 59m in hole OEDD-100 has exhibited the same grade consistency across the reported interval as the previous high-grade hits. We have also ramped up our new field season last week, commencing a 4000m diamond drill program at BBM and Charger,” commented Andrew Chubb, CEO of Awalé Resources.

Drill hole OEDD-100 delivered consistently high-grade gold mineralization throughout the reported interval, similar to previously reported holes OEDD-83 and OEDD-88 that show high-grade intervals.

The high-grade breccias are now understood to be controlled by folding within the Charger intrusive, with very high gold grades developing along the fold hinges. Awalé has now separated gold results pertaining to interpreted hinge and limb zones, with interpreted fold hinges displaying significantly higher gold results than the limb zones (Table 1), with average gold grade in the hinge zone at 735-gram x metres vs 38-gram x metres in the limbs. Awalé will be drill testing the fold model within the current corridor as well as step-out and test for other parallel zones starting in late Q4 2024 into Q1 2025.

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 underway in the underexplored regions of Côte d'Ivoire, where the Company is focused on the Odienné Copper-Gold Project (“Odienné” or the “Project”), covering 2,489 km2 across seven permits. This includes 796 km2 in two permits held under the Awalé-Newmont Joint Venture (“OJV”). Awalé manages all exploration activities over the 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.
