New Alliance Prospect Delivers Further 3km Of Strike To Empire Gold Trend Odienne Project Cote d'Ivoire

VANCOUVER - Awale Resources Limited reported that a significant new surface gold anomaly has been defined from termitaria sampling at the Alliance Prospect, Empire Corridor, Odienne Project. The Alliance Prospect extends the known strike extent of the Empire mineralized trend by 3km to >6km. Highlights: New 1km long, >100 part per billion ("ppb") surface gold ("Au") anomaly has been defined from termitaria sampling at the Alliance Prospect, Empire Corridor. Peak gold value returned was 441ppb; and the 100ppb surface Au anomaly lies within a larger (3km in length), > 15ppb Au anomaly. Mineralization is open both along strike and to the north.

The Alliance Prospect mirrors the Empire Main discovery in a similar 'pressure shadow' structural position on the opposite side of a late intrusive body (the "Rebel Intrusion") emplaced along the northern margin of the Empire structural corridor.  Approximately 50% of results have now been returned from a larger 1,340 sample 400x100m termitaria survey along the Empire Corridor.

CEO, Glen Parsons, said, "It is very pleasing to see new gold anomalies continuing to be uncovered through the team's focussed and systematic exploration approach at the Odienne project. Our work continues to not only reveal new gold and gold/copper anomalies, but also confirms the highly prospective nature of the Odienne project and its camp scale potential in different settings. The Empire Corridor continues to reveal itself as a significant gold bearing fluid pathway at Odienne, with significant potential to build ounces to the already robust foundation of the Empire Main discovery. The Alliance Target lies to the east along the northern boundary of Empire Corridor and has the same scale and tenor geochemical footprint as the Empire Main discovery. The team is fast tracking Alliance to a drill ready status. Furthermore, this new anomalism compliments the exciting 5km long Scepter copper, gold anomaly approximately 10km to the NW of the Alliance target where we focus on the IOCG style Charger mineralization. We look forward rapidly developing and advancing these targets."
